SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS.
THIS APPLIANCE IS FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY.
WARNING: When using electrical appliances especially when children are present, basic safety precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and/or injury to persons, including the following:

To protect against electric shock do not immerse cord, plug, or appliance in water or other liquid and avoid any liquid entering the appliance.
Never overfill fryer basket with food. Do not allow food to come into direct contact with heating coils.
Do not cover the air inlet and the air outlet while the appliance is in operation.
Do not fill the tank with oil as this may cause a fire hazard.
Do not touch inside of the appliance while in operation.
Check that the power supply voltage corresponds to that shown on the appliance (alternating current).
This appliance is for household use only and is not intended for commercial use.
Do not use outdoors.
Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug or after the appliance malfunctions, or has been dropped or damaged in any manner. Return the appliance to your point of purchase. Do not take the appliance apart yourself.
Do not use extension cord.
Do not leave the cord hanging.
Do not unplug the appliance by pulling on the cord.
Always unplug the appliance immediately after use as well as before cleaning and maintenance.
Only use this appliance on a flat and stable, heat resistant surface.
Never leave this appliance unattended during use.
This appliance should not be operated by children, or people with reduced physical, sensory, or mental ability that may impair their ability to operate this unit in a safe manner without proper supervision.
Children must be supervised to ensure that they do not play with this appliance.
Although this appliance has a cool touch feature, parts do get HOT during use and can cause burns, specifically the inside of the unit and air vents. Avoid touching the back of the unit while in operation.
Do not operate this appliance near external heat sources such as ovens, hot plates or stove-tops and do not operate near flammable materials such as curtains or blinds. Keep away from the sink where water may splash on this appliance.
In the event of a fire, do not splash water on the unit and in case of emergency call 911.
Do not move the appliance when it is full of hot food.
Do not fill the tank with oil or any other liquid.
Never cover or place anything on top of the appliance while in use as this can affect the airflow and cause safety hazard and/or cause damage to the unit.
Use extreme caution when removing the fryer basket and tank.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug is intended to fit into a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to modify the plug in any way.
SHORT CORD INSTRUCTIONS
A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the hazards resulting from entanglement or tripping over a longer cord. Longer detachable power-supply cords or extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use. If a longer detachable power-supply extension cord is used:

The marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance, and:
The cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally.

LINE CORD SAFETY TIPS

Never pull or yank on cord or the appliance.
To insert plug, grasp it firmly and guide it into outlet.
To disconnect appliance, grasp plug and remove it from outlet.
Before each use, inspect the line cord for cuts and/or abrasion marks. If any are found, this indicates that the appliance should be serviced and the line cord replaced. Please return it to an authorized service representative.
Never wrap the cord tightly around the appliance, as this could place undue stress on the cord where it enters the appliance and cause it to fray and break.

DO NOT OPERATE APPLIANCE IF THE LINE CORD SHOWS ANY DAMAGE OR IF APPLIANCE WORKS INTERMITTENTLY OR STOPS WORKING ENTIRELY.
CAUTION: To ensure continued protection against risk of electric shock, connect to properly grounded outlets only.
IMPORTANT: During the first few minutes of initial use, you may notice smoke and/or a slight odor. This is normal and should quickly disappear. It will not recur after appliance has been used a few more times.
This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.

COOKING TIPS

Smaller ingredients usually require a slightly shorter preparation time than larger ingredients.
For best results of smaller foods such as fries, onion rings and chicken nuggets, remove the fryer basket halfway through preparation time and shake to mix around the food in the basket. This will help to evenly fry the food being prepared.
Add some oil to fresh potatoes for a crispy result. Fry your ingredients in the airfryer within a few minutes after you added the oil. Do not fill basket with oil.
Do not prepare extremely greasy ingredients such as sausages in the air fryer.
Snacks that can be prepared in an oven can also be prepared in the air fryer.
For French fries, use 17 ounces of fries at a time for best frying results.
This air fryer is great for reheating food. To reheat your food, set the temperature control to 300º Fahrenheit for up to 10 minutes.

Cleaning and Maintenance

Before cleaning, turn the Timer control knob to “0”. Unplug the appliance and allow to cool.
Tip: After the unit has been turned off, remove the tank to help the unit to cool down quickly. Wipe the outside of the unit housing with a damp cloth. Do not immerse unit housing in water or rinse under running water. Remove the fryer basket and wash with soap, hot water and a non-abrasive sponge. Do not use abrasive cleaning materials, they may cause scratching or damage to the non-stick coating. Fryer basket and tank is dishwasher safe. Unit housing is NOT dishwasher safe. Tip: If food is stuck to the basket or bottom of the tank, fill the tank with hot, soapy water and allow the basket and inside of the tank to soak for approximately 10 minutes.
