General Usage Guidelines:

Placement: Always place the air fryer on a flat, heat-resistant work surface near an electrical outlet.
Basket Handling: The frying basket drawer is opened by firmly grasping the handle. To remove the frying basket from the drawer, slide the clear basket lock forward to expose the basket release button, then press the button and lift the basket out. Ensure the basket is securely locked back into the drawer before operation.
Food Capacity: Do not overfill the frying basket. For proper cooking and air circulation, never fill the basket more than 2/3 full. For fresh vegetables, it's recommended not to exceed 1/2 full.
Monitoring Food: For even cooking and browning, it is recommended to open the basket drawer halfway through the cooking time to check, turn, or vigorously shake the food.
Batch Cooking: Frying smaller batches generally results in shorter cooking times and higher food quality.
Safety Precautions:
- Always ensure the frying basket drawer is fully closed during operation; the air fryer will not operate otherwise.
- Exercise extreme caution when handling the hot frying basket and drawer, as they and the cooked food will be hot.
- Do not immerse the air fryer body in water.
- Do not obstruct air outlets or inlets.
- Maintain at least 10 cm clearance from walls or other objects.
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure meat, poultry, and fish are cooked to safe internal temperatures.
- Do not use the air fryer to boil water.
- Avoid moving a hot air fryer or one containing hot food; allow it to cool first.
