SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR
FUTURE REFERENCE

POLARIZED PLUG: This appliance is equipped with a polarized plug (one blade is wider than
the other). As a safety feature to reduce the risk of electrical shock, this plug is intended to fit
in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug.
If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to defeat this feature or
modify the plug in any way. If the plug fits loosely into the AC outlet or if the AC outlet feels
warm, do not use that outlet.

SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS: A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the risk of
becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.

AN EXTENSION CORD MAY BE USED IF CARE IS EXERCISED IN THEIR USE:

• Minimize the risk of overheating by using the shortest UL or ETL listed cord possible.

• The marked electrical rating must be at least as great as that of the product.

• Never use a single extension cord to operate more than one appliance.

• Arrange the longer cord so that it will not drape over a countertop or tabletop where it can

be tripped over, snagged, or pulled on unintentionally (especially by children).

• DO NOT alter the plug. DO NOT attempt to defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.

BEFORE INITIAL USE

1. Remove all packaging materials.

2. Remove any stickers or labels from the appliance.

3. Thoroughly clean the basket and pan in warm soapy water using a non-abrasive sponge.
Note: You can also clean these parts in the dishwasher.

4. Wipe inside and outside of the appliance with a damp cloth.

NOTE: This is an oil-free fryer that works on hot air, do not fill the pan with oil or frying fat.

PREPARING FOR USE

1. Place the appliance on a stable, horizontal and even surface.

Do not place the item on temperature sensitive surfaces.

2. Place the basket in the pan (P.2 fig.3.1).

3. Pull the cord from the storage compartment located on the bottom of the appliance and
plug the unit in a corresponding wall outlet (P.2 fig.1).

4. Do not fill the pan with oil or any other liquid.

5. Do not put anything on top of the appliance or the airflow will be disrupted and hinder the
air frying result.

TO USE

This appliance can prepare a large range of ingredients. See the cooking guide in this booklet
for food tips and ideas.

Air frying

1. Connect the plug into wall outlet.

2. Carefully pull the pan out of the air fryer. (P.2 fig.4)

3. Put the ingredients in the basket. (P.2 fig.5)

4. Slide the pan back into the air fryer. (P.2 fig 6)

Carefully align the pan with the guides on the body of the fryer.
Never use the pan without the basket in it.
Caution: Do not touch the pan right after use as it will be very hot. Only hold the pan by
the basket handle.

5. Determine the required preparation time for the ingredient (see Cooking Chart for

reference).

6. To switch on the appliance, turn the temperature control knob (P.2 fig.8) to the desired

temperature. Then, turn the timer knob to the desired preparation time (P.2 fig. 7) (see
Cooking Chart for reference).* The POWER indicator light will turn on meaning the unit is
turned on. The WORKING indicator light will also turn on meaning the unit is preheating.
Note: Add 3 minutes to the preparation time when the appliance is cold for preheating.
You can also let the appliance preheat without any ingredients inside. To do this, turn the
timer knob to 3 minutes. Turn the temperature control knob to the desired temperature

6

and wait until the WORKING indicator light goes out (approx. 3 minutes). Then, pull out
the pan, fill the basket with food and turn the timer knob to the desired preparation time.
The timer will start counting down the set preparation time.
Note: During the air frying process, the WORKING indicator light will turn on and
o from time to time. This indicates that the heating element is maintaining the set
temperature.
Note: Excess oil from the ingredients may drip on the bottom of the pan. Make sure the
unit is completely cooled o after the air frying process before cleaning the pan.

7. To ensure even cooking, some foods require “shaking” during the cooking process. To do
this, simply pull out the pan, place it on a heat-resistant surface, slide the button guard
forward and press the basket-release button to eject the basket (P.2 fig.3), gently shake
the contents as needed, insert the basket pack in the pan until you hear a locking click
and fasten the pan in the unit to continue cooking. For heavier or fragile foods, use nylon
or silicone heat-resistant tongs or other utensils to safely mix the food.
Tip: If you set the timer to half the preparation time, you will hear the timer bell when
you have to shake the ingredients. However, this means you will have to set the timer
again to the remaining preparation time after shaking.

8. When you hear the timer bell, the set preparation time has elapsed and heating will stop.
Pull the pan out of the appliance and place it on a heat-resistant surface.
Note: You can also switch o the appliance manually. To do this, turn the time control
knob to 0 and the temperature control knob to “OFF”.

9. Check if the ingredients are ready. If the ingredients are not ready yet, simply slide the
pan back into the appliance and set the timer to a few extra minutes.

10. To remove the ingredients (e.g. fries), pull the pan out of the air fryer, place it a heat­resistant surface and press the basket release button to lift the basket out of the pan.
Do not turn the basket upside down with the pan still attached to it, as any excess oil
that has collected on the bottom of the pan will leak onto the ingredients and/or on your
work space. Depending on the type of ingredients in the fryer, steam may escape from
the pan.

11. Empty the basket into a bowl or onto a plate.
Tip: To remove large or fragile ingredients, lift the ingredients out of the basket using a
pair of non-abrasive heat-resistant tongs.

12. When a batch of ingredients is ready, the air fryer remains preheated and ready for a
second cycle.
