Before you begin… It is very important that you read this entire manual making certain that you are
totally familiar with its operation and precautions.
Important Safeguards
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including:
•READ AND FOLLOW all instructions carefully.
•NEVER IMMERSE the Main Unit Housing, which
contains electrical components and heating
elements, in water. Do not rinse under the tap.
•TO AVOID ELECTRICAL SHOCK, do not put liquid of
any kind into the Main Unit Housing containing the
electrical components.
•THIS APPLIANCE HAS A POLARIZED PLUG (one
blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of
electric shock, this plug is intended to fit into a
polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not
fitfully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does
not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not
attempt to modify the plug in any way.
•MAKE SURE the appliance is plugged into a wall
socket. Always make sure that the plug is inserted
into the wall socket properly.
•TO PREVENT FOOD CONTACT with the heating
elements, do not overfill the Fry Basket.
•DO NOT cover the Air Intake Vent or Air Outlet
Vent while the Air Fryer is operating. Doing so will
prevent even cooking and may damage the Unit or
cause it to overheat.
•NEVER POUR oil into the Outer Basket. Fire and
personal injury could result.
•WHILE COOKING, the internal temperature of the
Unit reaches several hundred degrees F. To avoid
personal injury, never place hands inside the Unit
unless it is thoroughly cooled down.
•THIS APPLIANCE IS NOT INTENDED FOR use by
persons with reduced physical, sensory, or mental
capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge,
unless they are under the supervision of a
responsible person or have been given proper
instruction in using the appliance. This appliance is
not intended for use by children.
•DO NOT use this Unit if the plug, the power cord or
the appliance itself is damaged in any way.
•IF THE POWER CORD IS DAMAGED, you must have
it replaced by the manufacture, its service agent, or
a similarly qualified person in order to avoid hazard.
•KEEP THE APPLIANCE and its power cord out of the
reach of children when it is in operation or in the
“cooling down” process.
•KEEP THE POWER CORD away from hot surfaces.
Do not plug in the power cord or operate the Unit
controls with wet hands.
•NEVER CONNECT THIS APPLIANCE to an external
timer switch or separate remote-control system.
•NEVER USE THIS APPLIANCE with an extension
cord of any kind.
•DO NOT OPERATE THE APPLIANCE on or near
combustible materials such as tablecloths and
curtains.
•WHEN COOKING, do not place the appliance
against a wall or against other appliances. Leave at
least 5” free space on the back and sides and above
the appliance. Do not place anything on top of the
appliance.
•DO NOT USE the Air Fryer for any purpose other
than described in this manual.
•NEVER operate the appliance unattended.
•WHEN IN OPERATION, hot steam is released
through the Air Outlet Vent. Keep your hands and
face at a safe distance from the Air Outlet Vent. Also
avoid the hot steam and air while removing the
Outer Basket and Fry Basket from the appliance.
•THE UNIT’ S OUTER SURFACES may become hot
during use. The Outer Basket, Fry Basket and Cake
Pan will be hot... wear oven mitts when handling hot
components or touching hot surfaces.
•SHOULD THE UNIT EMIT BLACK SMOKE, unplug
immediately and wait for smoking to stop before
removing Outer and Fry Baskets.

forward until Fry Basket and Outer Basket are
resting on a level, heat-resistant surface.

The Sliding Button Guard helps to ensure you do not press the
Basket Release Button by accident. Pressing the Basket Release
Button causes the Outer Basket to separate from the Fry Basket and
may result in injury if not done on a level, heat-resistant surface.
