Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
Unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow cooling before putting on or taking off parts, and before cleaning the appliance.
Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug or after the appliance malfunctions, or has been damaged in any manner. Bring it to a qualified technician for inspection, repair, or electrical or mechanical adjustment.
The use of accessory attachments not recommended by the appliance manufacturer may cause injuries.
Do not use outdoors.
Do not let the cord hang over the edge of the table or counter, or touch hot surfaces.
Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner, or in a heated oven.
Extreme caution must be used when moving an appliance containing hot oil or other hot liquids.
Always attach the plug to the appliance first, then plug the cord into the wall outlet. To disconnect, turn any control to OFF, then remove the plug from the wall outlet.
Do not use appliances other than intended use.
Make sure the crisping tray is in place before adding food for air frying.

Proper precautions must be taken to prevent the risk of burns, fires, or another injury to persons or damage to property.
CAUTION: This appliance is hot during operation and retains heat for some time after turning off.
Always use oven mitts when handling hot materials and allow metal parts to cool before cleaning.
Do not place anything on top of the appliance while it is operating or while it is hot. All users of this appliance must read and understand this instruction manual before operating or cleaning this appliance.

The cord to this appliance should be plugged into a 120V AC electrical outlet only.
If this appliance begins to malfunction during use, pull the frying basket drawer out of the body.
Then remove the plug from the wall outlet. Do not use or attempt to repair the malfunctioning appliance.
Do not leave this appliance unattended during use.
Do not immerse the power cord in any liquid. If the power cord to this appliance is damaged, it must be replaced by contacting Customer Service or retailer.
Keep the cord out of reach from children and infants to avoid the risk of electric shock and choking.
Place the Air Fryer on a flat, heat-resistant work area.
Do not obstruct the air outlet or air inlets with objects on the back and side of the fryer. Avoid escaping steam from the air outlet during air frying.

Never move the hot air fryer or the fryer with hot food. Allow cooling before moving.
Do not clean with metal scouring pads. Pieces can break off the pad and touch electrical parts, creating a risk of electric shock.

NOTES ON THE PLUG
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug.
If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not modify the plugin anyway.
NOTES ON THE CORD
a) A short power-supply cord (or detachable power-supply cord) is to be provided to reduce risks resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
b) Longer detachable power-supply cords or extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use.
c) If a long detachable power-supply cord or extension cord is used:

the marked electrical rating of the detachable power-supply cord or extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance;
if the appliance is of the grounded type, the extension cord should be a grounding-type 3-wire cord;
the longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over.

PLASTICIZER WARNING
CAUTION: To prevent plasticizers from migrating to the finish of the countertop or tabletop or other furniture, place NON-PLASTIC coasters or placemats between the appliance and the surface. Failure to do so may cause the finish to darken; permanent blemishes may occur or stains can appear.
ELECTRIC POWER
If the electrical circuit is overloaded with other appliances, your appliance may not operate properly. It should be operated on a separate electrical circuit from other appliances.

To assure even cooking/browning, ALWAYS open the frying basket halfway through the cooking time to check, rotate or shake foods in the basket as needed. Adjust TIME or TEMPERATURE accordingly.
WARNING: Use extreme caution when handling the hot frying basket and crisping tray.
Avoid escaping steam from the frying basket and the food.
CAUTION: Always use oven mitts when handling the hot air fryer basket.

THOROUGHLY BEFORE EATING.
Recommendation: Allow cooked foods to rest for 5 to 10 minutes. Remove the frying basket from the machine and place it on a flat, heat-resistant surface.
Use tongs or a long fork to remove air-fried foods onto a serving plate. Promptly replace the frying basket in the front of the air fryer. Continue with subsequent batches, if any.
Unplug the air fryer when not in use.

AIR FRYING PRE-PACKAGED FROZEN FOODS

The air fryer is powered with 1500W high-performance technology that circulates heat for fast air fry and recovery.
As a general rule, reduce the package cooking time listed by 30% to 50%.
Always check food halfway through cooking time to determine the final cook time and temperature.
Always check cooking progress after TIME has expired. If more time is needed, cook at short intervals until the food is fully cooked.

FOR BEST RESULTS

Use your air fryer to cook pre-packaged foods with a fraction of the oil and in a fraction of time.
Always check food halfway through cooking time to determine the final cook time and temperature.
To avoid excess smoke, pat food dry before cooking. When cooking naturally high-fat foods, such as chicken wings or sausages, it may be necessary to empty fat from the frying basket drawer between batches.
For crispier results, air fry small batches of freshly breaded foods. Create more surface area by cutting food into smaller pieces. Refrigerate breaded foods for at least 30 minutes before frying.
Arrange breaded food in a frying basket so that food is not touching. This allows airflow on all surfaces.
Spray oils, such as olive or vegetable, may work because the oil is evenly distributed.
Do not overfill the frying basket with food. NEVER fill any frying basket more than 2/3 full. When cooking fresh vegetables, it is not recommended to add more than 3 cups of food to the frying basket.
Some foods need to be shaken vigorously or turned over during the air fry time. Consult the Air Frying
Chart for a general guide.
The air fryer can be used to reheat food. Set the temperature to 300°F for up to 10 minutes. Check food at 5-minute intervals and adjust if needed.
