Getting Started
Initial Test Run
Do you have to do the test run? No — but getting to know the ins and outs of your
Instant™ Vortex™ Mini Air Fryer prepares you for success in the kitchen! Take a few
minutes to get to know how this little baby works.
Stage 1: Setting up the air fryer
for cooking
1. Connect the power cord to a 220-240V
power source.
The air fryer is in standby mode and
the display shows OFF.
2. Remove the air fryer basket from the
cooking chamber.

of the air fryer basket (if it is not
already installed).
4. Insert the air fryer basket back into
the cooking chamber.
5. Touch Air Fry.
6. Touch Time, then turn the dial to adjust
the cook time to 20 minutes (00:20).
Each Smart Program automatically
saves the adjustments you make to
the time and temperature when you
touch Start.
7. Touch Start to begin!
The display shows On and the cooking
status shows Preheat.
The rst few times you use your air fryer,
you may notice a strong plastic smell.
This is normal, non-toxic, and goes
away quickly.
Stage 2: "Cooking" (...but not really,
this is just a test!)
1. When the air fryer is hot enough,
the display shows Add Food.
For this initial test, do not add food
to the air fryer basket.
Carefully remove and re-insert the
air fryer basket. The displayalternates
between the cooking time and
temperature, and the cooking status
shows Cook.

shows turn Food.
Wait 10 seconds for the program to
resume automatically, or, remove and
re-insert the air fryer basket to pause
and resume the program manually.
3. When 1 minute remains, the display
counts down the remaining cooking
time in seconds.
When the Smart Program completes,
the display shows End and the fan
blows for a little while to help cool
the air fryer.
4. Press the dial or remove and re-insert
the air fryer basket to return to standby
mode and start cooking for real!
If you forget this last step, the air fryer
will beep to remind you about it after
5, 30, and 60 minutes.
CAUTION

burn injury, DO NOT touch hot surfaces. Allow the air fryer to cool to room temperature,
