• The air fryer is not a toy.

• Do not use outdoors.

• For household use only.

• Do not use appliance for other than the intended use

• Always switch off the appliance and disconnect from the supply if it is left unattended.

• Inspect the power cord for any damage. Damaged or tangled cables increase the risk of electric shock. If damage is suspected, do not use it and request a professional to inspect this.

• Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug or after the appliance malfunctions or has been damaged in any manner. Return the appliance to the nearest authorized service facility for examination, repair or adjustment.

• Resume operation once the professional confirms the product is safe for use.

• If any of the appliance casings break, immediately disconnect the appliance from the mains to prevent the possibility of an electric shock.

• Intended for countertop use only

• Ensure that the voltage indicated on the rating label matches the mains voltage before use.

• Connect the appliance to a grounded socket and make sure that it is inserted correctly.

• Always attach the plug to the appliance first, then plug a cord into the wall outlet. To disconnect, turn any control to ‘OFF’, then remove the plug from the wall outlet.

• This appliance can be used by children aged 8 years and above and persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge if they have been given supervision or instruction concerning the use of the appliance in a safe way and understand the hazards involved.

• Never put the product against the wall or other products. There should be at least 10 cm of free space on the back side, left/right sides, and the upper side of the product. Do not put things on top of the air fryer, for this will prevent the
  airflow and reduce the effect of hot air heating.

• Always place device parts on heat-resistant surfaces.

• To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not mount over a sink

• To reduce the risk of fire, do not store anything directly on top of the appliance surface when the appliance is in operation.

• The temperature of the accessible surfaces may be high when the appliance is in use. The air fryer surface will become hot. Avoid bodily contact to avoid burns or personal injury.

• The product must be watched by someone while operating.

• During the period of fat-free frying, steam with high temperature will be emitted from the air outlet opening. The hands and face should be away from the steam and the air outlet opening. And one should take care of the hot steam and air while moving the fryer away from the product.

• This appliance cooks by recirculating hot air within the device. Improper use may result in contact with scalding air or hot steam while removing the basket, resulting in burns. Make certain the basket is properly closed before operating. See the “Use” section for more information.

• Extreme caution must be used when moving the appliance containing hot food.

• If there is the presence of smoke, unplug the device immediately and wait for the smoke to diminish before opening the basket.

• To protect against electrical shock do not immerse the cord, plugs, or any other part of the product in water or other liquid.

• Do not soak the housing in water, or wash it under the tap, for there are electric components and heating components in the housing.

• Do not let water or other liquid flow into the housing, in case electric shocks might take place.

• While the product is in use, do not cover the air inlet and outlet opening. Doing so will prevent even cooking and may damage the unit or cause it to overheat

• Do not use an air fryer for deep-frying oil and never pour oil into the fryer, for this may cause a fire.

• Do not touch the inside of the product while it is working, as it can become very hot. Do not touch accessories during or immediately after cooking

• When the device indicates it is ready to operate (green flashing light etc..), avoid having contact with any moving parts.

• Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner, or in a heated oven.

• This product is manually operated, thus never connect the product with an external timer or independent remote-control system.

• If applicable, discard unnecessary protective covers fitted on the plugs.

• Unplug from the outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow cooling for 30 min before storing or handling.

• The use of accessory attachments is not recommended by the appliance manufacturer as these may cause injuries.

• Adequate space is required for air to ventilate from either side.

MALFUNCTION AND TREATMENT METHOD

Plug the plug into a grounded power outlet.
You haven’t set a timer yet.| Turn the timer on the display to the desired cooking time in order to power on the appliance.
Ingredients cooked in the electric oven are not fully cooked.| There are too many ingredients in the grill.| Divide the ingredients into small batches and place them on the grill to make the frying more even.
The set temperature is too low.| Adjust the temperature control to the desired temperature setting.
The cooking time is too short.| Adjust the timer to the desired cooking time.
The ingredients are not evenly fried in the electric oven.| Some ingredients could be flipped midway through the cooking pro- cess or have an overlap with other ingredients.| If some ingredients are at the top, or overlap with other ingredients, such as French fries, you need
to flip them midway through the cooking process.
The frying pan cannot be properly slid back into the appliance.| There are too many ingredients in the grill.| Do not allow the number of ingredients in the grill to exceed the MAX indicator line.
The grill is not properly placed in the frying pan.| Push the grill into the frying pan until you hear a “click.”
White smoke came out of the appliance.| You are cooking ingredients with high oil content.| When you cook oily ingredients in an electric oven, a lot of fumes will seep into the frying pan, which will produce white oil, while the frying pan may be hotter than normal, which will not affect the final effect of the product’s fried ingredients.
Oil residue from the last use can also be found in the frying pan.| Make sure you clean the frying pan properly after each use.
Fresh fries are not evenly fried in the electric oven.| You did not soak the potato chips properly before frying| Soak the potato chips in a bowl for at least 30 minutes, then remove them and drain them on kitchen paper.
Use fresh potatoes and make sure they don’t spread out when fried.
French fries are not crunchy.| The crunchiness of French fries depends on the amount of oil and water in the fries.| Make sure to drain the potato chips
in the correct way before refueling.
Cut the potato chips a little thinner to make them more crunchy.
A little oil can also make it crunchy.
