Cleaning and Maintenance

Basket Removal: To clean the basket, one must first remove it from the main unit. The image indicates that this is done by pulling the handle directly outwards from the device.
Proper Handling: When removing the basket, it’s important to ensure that it is not tilted in a way that could cause hot oil or food remnants to spill out, which could lead to burns or a messy kitchen. The basket should be kept level as it is removed from the air fryer.
Cleaning Inside: The interior of the air fryer should not be exposed to water or cleaning fluids, and the main unit should not be submerged in any liquid. This suggests that the electronic components are sensitive to moisture and that cleaning should be done with a damp cloth instead of washing under running water.

Usage Guide

Preparing Food for Cooking

Size Matters: Cut food into even pieces, approximately 8mm thick, to ensure uniform cooking.
Soaking: Certain foods, like potatoes for fries, should be soaked in water for 30 minutes before cooking, which likely removes excess starch for a crispier finish.
Drying Food: After soaking, food should be thoroughly dried, suggesting this is essential for achieving the desired crispy texture.
Oil Application: For some recipes, food should be lightly coated with oil, with a recommendation of using only half the amount you would typically use, highlighting the fryer’s ability to cook with less oil.
Shaking Basket: Midway through the cooking process, the food should be shaken to ensure even cooking. This is often necessary for items like fries or vegetables.
Inserting Basket: The basket should be securely inserted back into the fryer after shaking.
Adding Food: It’s essential not to overfill the basket, and to ensure that food is not piled too high.
Capacity Warning: There is a ‘MAX’ line inside the basket indicating the maximum fill level to avoid overloading.
Basket Removal: The image indicates the correct method to remove the basket from the fryer, which is likely for serving or shaking the contents.
Power Supply: It shows the correct way to plug the device into a power outlet, indicating that safety should be considered when handling electrical appliances.
Control Panel: Utilize the control panel to select the desired cooking program and adjust the temperature or timer as needed.
