13. Do not use the appliance for anything other than intended use.
14. Oversized foods or metal utensils must not be inserted into the air fryer as they may create a fire or the risk of electric shock.
15. A fire may occur if the appliance is covered by or touching flammable material, including curtains, draperies, walls, and the like, when in operation. Do not store any item on top of the appliance when in operation.
16. Do not clean with metal scouring pads. Pieces can break off the pad and touch electrical parts, creating a risk of electric shock.
17. Extreme caution should be exercised when placing containers in the unit that are constructed of a different material than metal or glass.
18. Do not store any object, other than the accessories recommended by the manufacturer, in this appliance when not in use.
19. Do not place any of the following materials inside the appliance: paper,cardboard, plastic, and the like.
20. Do not cover the cooking basket or any part of the air fryer with metal foil. This causes the air fryer to overheat.
21. Do not leave the unit unattended when in use.
22. Use extreme caution when removing the basket or trivet and disposing of hot grease.
23. The air fryer can be turned off while using any of the functions by pressing  and holding the On/Off button for 3 seconds.
24. During hot air frying, hot air is released through the air outlet openings. Keep your hands and face at a safe distance from the steam and from the air outlet openings. Also, be careful of hot steam and air when you remove the basket from the appliance.
25. Immediately unplug the appliance if you see dark smoke coming out of it. Wait for the smoke emission to stop before you remove the basket from the appliance.
26. Do not place the appliance against a wall or other appliances.
27. Leave at least 6 inches (15 cm) of free space on the back, sides, and above the appliance for proper ventilation.

Caution

• ALWAYS place the appliance on a horizontal, leveled, heat resistant, and stable surface.

• The basket should be carefully hand-washed rather than put in the dishwasher. Do not immerse it in water. Clean with a damp sponge orcloth.

• This appliance is intended for normal household use only.

• Always unplug the appliance after use.

• Let the appliance cool down for at least 30 minutes before handling or
  cleaning it.

• The appliance is equipped with a safety micro switch inside that will pause the cooking process automatically if the basket is removed during cooking.

POLARIZED PLUG INSTRUCTIONS

This appliance is equipped with a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). This plug will fit into the polarized outlet only in one way to reduce the risk of electric shock. If the plug does not properly fit into the outlet at first, reverse it. If it still does not fit, contact a competent qualified electrician. Do not attempt to modify the plug in any way

SHORT CORD INSTRUCTIONS

A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the hazards resulting from becoming entangled in, or tripping over a longer cord. Extension cords may be used if care is exercised in their use.

• The electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least that of the appliance. If the electrical rating of the extension cord is too low, it couldoverheat and burn.
• The resulting extended 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.

BEFORE THE FIRST USE

• Unpack the appliance and its accessories (food basket, trivet). Wash the accessories in hot, soapy water and then wipe them dry. Wipe the interior of the frying cavity with a damp cloth or sponge, and then dry with a paper towel. Make sure the cavity is completely dry before operating the unit.

• Position the air fryer on a flat, level, and heat-resistant surface. Make sure
  that it is also positioned at least 6 inches (15 cm) away from any surrounding objects.

• It is recommended to let the air fryer heat for about 20 minutes without any food in it. This helps to eliminate grease that may have adhered duringmanufacturing and to eliminate the “new” appliance smell.

• Ventilate the room during this period. When your air fryer is heated for the first time, it may emit slight smoke or odor. This is normal with many heating appliances and does not affect the safety of your appliance.

Caution: When moving the air fryer, make sure that you hold it securely and support the base—do not rely on the food basket handle when moving the airfryer!

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Preparing for use:

• Make sure that the trivet is securely placed inside the basket. Use the trivet handle located in the center of the trivet to easily insert or remove it from the basket.
• Plug the power cord into a wall socket. Your air fryer will emit a beep and the On/Off button will turn on, to signal that it is ready for use.

Caution

• Do not fill the food basket with oil or any other liquid, as this may causea fire hazard.
• Never use the air fryer without the food basket and trivet in place.
• Keep all ingredients in the basket to prevent any contact with the appliance’s heating elements. Do not overfill the food basket.
• Do not cover the air inlet on the top of the air outlet on the back of the unit while the appliance is in use.
• Do not touch the inside of the appliance while it is operating.
• Never immerse the unit’s housing in water or rinse it under the tap.

TROUBLESHOOTING

plug in an earthed wall socket.
You have not set the timer.| Adjust the setting to the required preparation time to switch on the appliance.
The basket is not properly locked.| Push the basket back in the air fryer properly.
The ingredients are not well cooked/raw.| There is too much food in the basket.| Put smaller batches of ingredients in the basket. Smaller batches are fried more evenly.
The set temperature is too low.| Adjust the setting to the required temperature setting (see section ‘Preset menus’)
The cooking time is too short.| Adjust the setting to the required

preparation time (see section ‘Preset menus)

Fried snacks are not crispy when they come out of the air fryer.| You used a type of snack meant to be prepared in a traditional deep fryer.| Use snacks made to be prepared in the oven, or lightly brush some oil onto the snacks for a crispier result.
The basket doesn’t latch into place properly.| There is too much food in the basket.| Do not fill the basket; refer to the “Preset menus” table for quantities.
White smoke comes out of the appliance.| You are preparing greasy ingredients.| When you fry greasy ingredients in the air fryer, a large amount of oil will leak into the bottom of the basket. The oil can produce white smoke and the basket may heat up more than usual. However, this does not affect the appliance or the end result.
| The pan still contains grease residues from previous use.| White smoke is caused by grease heating up in the basket; make sure you clean the basket and trivet thoroughly after each use.
Fresh fries are fried unevenly in the air fryer.| You did not use the right type of potato.| Use fresh potatoes and make sure they stay firm during frying.
 | You did not rinse the potato sticks properly before you air-fried them.| Rinse the potato sticks thoroughly to remove starch from the outside of the sticks.
Fresh fries are not crispy when they come out of the air fryer.| The crispiness of the fries depends on the amount of oil and water in the fries.| Make sure you dry the potato sticks properly before you add the oil.
 |  | Cut the potatoes into thinner sticks for a crispier result.
 |  | Add slightly more oil for a crispier result.
