IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and/or injury to persons including the following:

Read all instructions before using this product.
This appliance generates heat during use. Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs. Always protect your hands with non-slip oven mitts or similar.
To protect against electric shock, do not place or immerse the cord, plugs, or appliances in water or other liquid.
This appliance is not to be used by children or by persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities.
Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used near children. Children should not play with the appliance.
Unplug from outlet when not in use, before putting on or taking off parts and before cleaning. Allow cooling before putting on or taking off parts, and before cleaning. To disconnect, turn any control to OFF, then unplug the power cord from the outlet. Do not disconnect by pulling on the cord. Always grasp the plug and pull to disconnect.
Return appliance to the manufacturer (see warranty) for examination, repair or adjustment.
The use of accessory attachments not recommended by the appliance manufacturer may cause injuries.
Do not use outdoors or for commercial purposes.
Do not let the cord hang over the edge of the table or counter, or touch hot surfaces.
Do not place on or near wet surfaces, or heat sources such as a hot gas or electric burner, or in a heated oven.
Extreme caution must be used when moving an appliance or removing a pan, containing hot oil or other hot liquids. Always protect your hands with non-slip oven mitts or similar.
Do not use appliances for other than intended use. Misuse can cause injuries. Intended for household countertop use only. Keep 6 inches (152 mm) clear from the wall and on all sides. Always use the appliance on a dry, stable, level surface.
Oversize foods or metal utensils must not be inserted in an Air Fryer Oven as they may create a fire or risk of electric shock.
A fire may occur if the Air Fryer Oven is covered, touching or near flammable materials, including curtains, draperies, towels, walls, and the like, when in operation. Do not store any item on top of the appliance when in operation.
Do not clean with metal scouring pads. Pieces can break off the pad and touch electrical parts, creating a risk of electric shock.
Extreme caution should be exercised when using containers constructed of materials other than metal or glass.
Do not store any materials, other than manufacturers’ recommended accessories, in this oven when not in use.
Do not place any of the following materials in the oven: paper, cardboard, plastic, or any materials that may catch fire or melt.
Do not cover the drip tray or any part of the oven with metal foil. This will cause overheating of the air fryer.
Empty the drip tray after each use.
The glass door is made of tempered glass. Always inspect the glass door for chips, cracks or any other damage. Do not use the Air Fryer Oven if the glass door is damaged, as the glass may shatter during use.
Do not use with a programmer, timer, wireless plug adapter or outlet that allows control remotely, or connect to a circuit that is regularly switched on and off by the utility.
Hot steam is released during air fryer operation. Keep your hands and face at a safe distance from the vent.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY

POWER CORD INSTRUCTIONS:
A short power-supply cord or detachable power-supply cord is provided to reduce risks resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. Longer detachable power-supply cords or extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use. If a long detachable power- supply cord or extension cord is used:
a. The marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance;
b. The 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 unintentionally; and
c. If the appliance is of the grounded type, the cord set or extension cord should be a grounding-type 3-wire cord.
Do not pull, twist or otherwise abuse the power cord.

NOTICES

Some countertop and table surfaces are not designed to withstand the prolonged heat generated by certain appliances. Do not set the heated unit on a finished wood table. We recommend placing a hot pad or trivet under your air fryer to prevent possible damage to the surface.
During initial use of this appliance, some slight smoke and/or odor may be detected. This is normal with many heating appliances and will not recur after a few uses.
