Usage Features
Getting Started:
- Remove all packaging materials, plastic, tape, and labels.
- Clean the frying basket drawer and frying basket with warm water, soap, and a non-abrasive sponge. The non-stick coating requires gentle cleaning; avoid abrasive sponges or metal scouring pads. The frying basket drawer and basket are dishwasher-safe.
- Wipe the inside and outside of the air fryer with a dry cloth.
- The air fryer may produce some smoke or a slight odor during its first use, which is normal.
- Ensure the heating element and fan are clean and free from obstructions.
- The air fryer must only be used with the frying basket securely inside the appliance.
Operation:
- Place the air fryer on an even, stable surface, at least 20 cm away from walls, other appliances, or furniture to ensure proper air circulation and prevent damage.
- Plug the appliance into a grounded wall socket.
- Carefully pull out the frying basket drawer and place it on a flat, heat-resistant surface.
- Place ingredients into the non-stick coated cooking basket. Do not fill beyond the max line, as this can negatively affect cooking.
- Slide the frying basket drawer back into the air fryer.
- Set the desired temperature using the temperature control knob (80°C–200°C).
- Set the required cooking time using the timer knob (0–30 minutes).
- Preheating (optional): Preheat the air fryer for 3–5 minutes using the timer and temperature controls. The power and heating-up lights will activate. The heating-up light will turn off automatically once the set temperature is reached.
- During cooking, the power-on light and heating-up light will illuminate. The heating-up light will cycle on and off to maintain the set temperature.
- For some ingredients, like fries, shaking the basket halfway through cooking is recommended. Pull the frying basket drawer out by the handle, shake it, and then slide it back in.
- When the timer bell rings, the cooking time has elapsed. Pull out the frying basket drawer and place it on a heat-resistant holder.
- Check if the food is ready. If not, slide the basket back in and set a few extra minutes on the timer.
- To remove small ingredients, press the basket release button and lift the basket out of the drawer.
- Avoid turning over the frying basket drawer, as collected oil may leak onto the ingredients.
- The frying basket drawer and ingredients will be hot after air frying. Use tongs to remove large or fragile ingredients.
- The air fryer is ready for another batch immediately after one is finished.
- The appliance can be manually switched off by turning the timer control knob to 0.

Troubleshooting:
The manual includes a troubleshooting section for common issues:
- Air fryer not working: Check if plugged in, try another outlet, ensure frying basket is securely inside.
- Air fryer is noisy: Motor or internal parts may not be working correctly. Turn off immediately and safely.
- Food not fully prepared: Frying basket may be overfilled, or cooking time too short.
- Fried ingredients not crispy: Use oven-ready snacks or brush with a thin layer of oil.
- Homemade fries not crispy: Soak potatoes in water for 30 min to remove starch, dry thoroughly, add a brush of oil, or cut thinner.
- Ingredients not cooked evenly: Lift the frying basket halfway through cooking and shake to separate overlapped ingredients.
- Air fryer shut down: The air fryer has an auto-off safety feature for overheating. Unplug, let cool completely, then plug back in and restart.
- Note: Ingredients with high fat content (e.g., bacon, some meats) may release fat and oil, causing smoke. Be mindful and remove excess fat/oil as needed.
