To use the air fryer:

Placement: Place the unit on a flat, even, stable, and non-heat-resistant surface, ensuring at least five inches of free space around it. Do not place it on stovetop surfaces or near combustible materials.
Preparation: Insert the crisper tray into the fry basket and add ingredients. Do not overfill the basket or fill it with oil or any other liquid.
Power On: Slide the basket into the appliance. The power button on the LCD display will illuminate.
Function Selection: Press the power button, then select a cooking function by pressing its icon. Alternatively, you can adjust time and temperature from the default screen (370°F for 15 minutes) without selecting a specific function.
Adjust Settings: Use the UP and DOWN arrows to adjust time and temperature as needed. Holding the arrows down allows for quicker adjustments.
Start Cooking: Press the power button again to start the cooking cycle. The heating and fan icons will illuminate.
Mid-Cycle Adjustments/Shaking: To make changes or shake ingredients for even cooking, press the power button to pause. The fan will continue, but heating will stop. After making adjustments or shaking, slide the basket back in and press the power button to resume. The unit retains settings for up to 2 hours if power is interrupted.
Completion: The timer will beep five times when the cooking cycle is done, and the display will show "OFF." The fan will continue to run for about 20 seconds to cool down the unit. If the "Keep Warm" function was selected, the unit will automatically switch to its default settings (180°F for 30 minutes).
Turning Off: To turn off the unit before the cycle ends, hold the power button for 3 seconds.
Removing Food: Carefully slide the basket out and place it on a pot holder. Use silicone-tipped, non-abrasive tongs or carefully pour ingredients onto a plate to avoid scratching the ceramic coating of the basket and crisper tray.

The manual includes a detailed cooking guide with recommended times and temperatures for various foods like potatoes, fries, meat, poultry, snacks, and baked goods. It also provides an internal temperature chart for cooked meats, adhering to USDA Food Safety Standards. Tips for optimal cooking results include shaking smaller ingredients, adding a small amount of oil to fresh potatoes for crispiness, and using baking pans for batters.

Regular cleaning is crucial for maintaining the air fryer's performance and longevity.

Unplug and Cool: Always unplug the fryer and allow it to cool down completely (at least 30 minutes) before handling or cleaning.
Exterior Cleaning: Wipe the outside of the fryer with a damp cloth.
Basket and Crisper Tray Cleaning: Wash the basket, crisper tray, and accessories with hot water, soap, and a non-abrasive sponge. For stubborn food residue, use a degreasing liquid soap or soak the components in hot water.
Interior Cleaning: Clean the inside of the appliance with a lightly dampened, non-abrasive sponge or cloth. Be careful not to get the interior too wet, and never submerge the appliance in water.
Heating Element Cleaning: Use a cleaning brush to scrub the heating element and remove any food debris.
