  NEVER put anything on top of the appliance.
  NEVER cover the air vents on the top and back of the cooking Unit.
  NEVER fill any cooking vessel with oil or liquid of any kind. This Unit cooks with hot air only.
  NEVER use the Oven Door as a place to rest a hot Fry Basket filled with food. The Hot Fry Basket could damage the Oven Door or cause the Unit to tip over. Personal injury could result.

Warning! Forks, skewers, and other metal parts with this appliance are sharp and will get extremely hot during use. Special care should be taken to avoid personal injury. Wear a protective oven mitt or use a fetch tool.

If the door is opened or powered OFF for more than 2 hours during the cooking process, the appliance will return to standby mode automatically. Warning! During the cooking process, accessories will become very hot. When you remove it, make sure you have a trivet or a heat- resistant surface nearby to place it on. To prevent heat damage to the surface, NEVER place hot accessories directly on a counter/benchtop or table.

• You can reset the time and temperature during the cooking process according to the actual condition.

• When the cooking process has been completed, the appliance will automatically stop heating with 5 beep beep sounds. The end will be shown on the display.

•  Open the door and take out the accessories with food.

CAUTION！The appliance and accessories are extremely hot! Always use an oven mitt or the fetch tool. Handle with care to avoid injury.
Tips:
➢ Foods that are smaller in size usually require a slightly shorter cooking time than larger ones.
➢ Turning foods halfway during the cooking process will assure that all the pieces are evenly cooked.
➢ Misting a bit of vegetable oil on fresh potatoes is suggested for a crispier result. When adding a little oil, do it only before the start of the cooking process.
➢ Place a baking tin in the air fryer oven when baking cake, quiche, fragile, or filled foods.
➢ You can also use the air fryer oven to reheat foods. Simply set the temperature to 150℃ for up to 10 minutes.
➢ Cut into thin slices of about 5mm, and evenly arrange the airflow racks in the oven. It is best to keep a little space in the middle to facilitate the circulation of hot air.
