In the beginning, there was Wolfgang Puck. There were cooks and there were kitchens and there were people eating food, but the world had never seen anything like Spago— with its California cuisine, its casual elegance, and its chef whose genuine warmth and love of craft redefined the dining experience. And they came—from LA and from everywhere—to experience the future. Wolfgang Puck shaped the modern culinary landscape: he was the first celebrity chef, the inventor of fusion cuisine, the first in farm-to-table. His work is inspired by California living, and an insistence on only the freshest ingredients. From his legendary fine-dining icons, his entrepreneurial spirit has built an empire—from dining to catering, to products for the home— touching the lives of millions around the globe. Today, as always, Chef Puck is earnestly, restlessly, tirelessly at work behind the scenes inventing what’s next.  He is driven by a genuine love of his craft, a passion for what’s possible, and its potential to change the world.

Before Your First Use

1. Unpack the Air Fryer and remove all packaging materials. Clean the Air Fryer according to the Care & Cleaning section of this manual.

2. We recommend performing a trial run of your Air Fryer to eliminate any protective substance from the heating elements. Conduct the trial run in a  well-ventilated area as a small amount of smoke and odor may be detected. This is normal and should be expected. Follow the procedure below for the trial run.

3. Place Air Fryer on a stable, level surface.

4. Place Rack in the Pan and insert into Housing.
   Note: This appliance is rated at 1,700 watts and should be the only appliance operating on the circuit to avoid tripping your circuit breaker. Always ensure  that your Timer/Power Knob is set to 0 (off) and your Temperature Knob is set to Off before plugging into the wall outlet

5. Plug the Air Fryer into the wall outlet.

6. Set the Temperature Dial to 400°F and the Timer Knob to 20 minutes.

Your trial run is complete once the set time has elapsed.

Using Your Air Fryer

Caution:
This Air Fryer works by circulating hot air via a convection fan. Do not fill the Pan with oil or frying fat.

1. Place the appliance on a flat, stable, level, heat-resistant surface.

2. Remove the Pan from the Housing by pulling the handle towards you.

3. Place your ingredients on the Rack. Do not allow food to exceed the top of the Vent Slots on the Rack (see Know Your Air Fryer)
   Note: Never use the Pan without the Rack in place.

4. Place the Pan back into the Housing until it is completely flush with the Housing. If the Pan is not fully engaged in the Housing the Air Fryer will not turn on.
   Note: This appliance is rated at 1,700 watts and should be the only appliance operating on the circuit to avoid tripping your circuit breaker. Always ensure that your Timer/Power Knob is set to 0 (off) and your Temperature Knob is set to Off before plugging into the wall outlet.

5. Plug the Air Fryer into the wall outlet. The Power Indicator Light will illuminate whenever the appliance is plugged in.

6. Turn the Temperature Knob to the desired temperature.

7. Turn the Timer Knob to the desired cooking time. The Heat Indicator Light will illuminate and will cycle on and off during cooking to ensure the set temperature is maintained. For recipe times greater than 30 minutes, reset the Timer Knob once the set time has elapsed.

8. The Timer Knob will automatically turn the appliance off when the set time has elapsed. You can manually turn the appliance off by turning the Timer  Knob counter-clockwise to the 0 (off) position.

9. Some food types require rotating halfway through the cooking cycle. When the timer has elapsed the signal bell will ring and the Air Fryer will turn off.  Unplug the Air Fryer from the wall outlet. Remove the Pan from the Housing and place it on a heat-resistant surface such as

10. a trivet. We recommended using tongs or other kitchen utensils to remove the food from the Rack. You can also remove the Rack from the Pan and empty your food onto a plate (see Caution statement on next page).

Using Your Air Fryer (cont.)

Caution:
Both the Pan and Rack are very hot after cooking, use caution when handling to avoid a burn injury, always use potholders or oven mitts.
When cooking foods greater than 3lbs always support the Pan Handle using 2 hands, one on the Handle, and one on the rear of the Pan.

Care & Cleaning

Your Air Fryer should be cleaned after each use. Residual food particles and grease can cause the Air Fryer to smoke excessively if not properly cleaned.
Turn the Timer Knob to the 0 (off) position and unplug from the wall outlet. Allow all parts to completely cool before cleaning.
Pan and Rack
No parts of the Air Fryer are dishwasher safe. Please follow the below cleaning instructions:
To avoid damaging the nonstick surfaces do not use metal utensils. Only use nylon or wooden utensils.
Remove the Rack from the Pan. The Pan and Rack are nonstick coated to allow for easier release of food residue. Do not clean with metal scouring pads as pieces can break off the pad and touch electrical parts, creating a risk of electric shock. Do not use abrasive cleaners.
Wash the Pan and Rack with warm soapy water using a sponge or cleaning cloth. If food residue is hard to remove from Pan or Rack, soak them for 10  minutes in warm, soapy water. Rinse and dry parts thoroughly before reassembling and storing.
