BEFORE FIRST USE

1. Read all instructions and important safeguards.
2. Remove all packaging materials and check that all items have been received in good condition.
3. Tear up all plastic bags as they can pose a risk to children.
4. Remove the baking tray from the frying pan for easier cleaning.
5. Thoroughly clean the frying pan and baking tray with soapy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly. Wipe the surface of the body and inside with a wet cloth.
6. Let all parts dry completely. Make sure the rubber scratch guards of the baking tray are fully covering the metal feet to avoid scratching the non-stick inner surface of the frying pan.
7. After cleaning, the unit must be broken in by running for 30 minutes without any food inside. Any smells produced during this time frame are normal. Please ensure sufficient ventilation of the room and at least an inch of clearance on all sides of the air fryer is available. After the breaking in period, rinse and dry all removable parts. This action is only necessary once before using for the first time.

NOTE:

Using air fryer

1. Pull the pan out of the main body of the air fryer. Make sure that the baking tray is inserted and pushed to the bottom.
2. Add your ingredients to the frying pan. Distribute food evenly throughout the pan to ensure even cooking.
3. Slide the pan back into the air fryer.
4. Plug the power cord into an available 120V AC wall outlet.
5. Turn the time control dial to the required cooking time for your recipe. The indicator light will illuminate.
6. The timer bell will ding when cooking is complete and the indicator light will turn off.
7. Pull the pan out of the appliance. Keep your face and hands away from the hot steam when opening. Place the pan on
   a heat-resistant surface.

CAUTION:

• Do not touch the pan during and some time after use, as it gets very hot. Only hold the pan by the handle.
• Never use the pan without the baking tray in it. If the appliance is heating ingredients in the absence of the baking tray, use a special oven glove to open the drawer. The side wall and edge of the drawer can become very hot.
• Do not fill the pan with oil or any other liquid. This is not intended to be used as a deep fryer.

NOTE:

• Do not turn the frying pan upside down as any excess oil that has collected on the bottom of the pan below the baking
  tray will leak onto the ingredients.

• When a batch of ingredients is ready, the air fryer is instantly ready for preparing another batch.

HELPFUL HINTS:

• Some ingredients require shaking halfway through the preparation time. To shake the ingredients, pull the pan out of the appliance by the handle and shake it. Then slide the pan back into the airfryer. If you set the timer to half the preparation time, you hear the timer bell ding when you have to shake the ingredients. However, this means that you have to set the timer again to the remaining preparation time after shaking.
• Smaller ingredients usually require a slightly shorter preparation time than larger ingredients.
• A larger amount of ingredients only requires a slightly longer preparation time, a smaller amount of ingredients only requires a slightly shorter preparation time
• Brush a small amount of oil to fresh potatoes for a crispy result. Fry your ingredients in the air fryer within a few minutes of adding the oil.
• You can also use the airfryer to reheat ingredients. To reheat ingredients, set the time to 10 minutes.

*Keep in mind that these times are estimations. As ingredients differ in origin, size, shape as well as brand, we cannot guarantee the best setting for your ingredients.
For your cooking reference, the air fryer reaches a temperature of 360°F while in operation.
