Quick Start Guide
The air fryer can prepare a large range of ingredients. Please refer to the “Settings” section of the manual for more information.
Air Frying Instructions
1. Plug the main cord into a wall socket.
2. Carefully pull the pan out of the air fryer.
3. Place the ingredients into the basket.
• Note: Never fill the basket in full or exceed the recommended amount, as this could
affect the quality of the end result.
4. Slide the pan back into the air fryer properly.
• Never use the pan without the basket in it.
• If the pan isn’t properly placed inside air fryer, the appliance won’t work.
• Caution: Do not touch the pan during and right after use, as it gets very hot. Only hold
the pan by the handle.
5. Press the preset menu symbol to choose a preset and then start the cooking process or determine the required cooking time and temperature and use the “+” and “-” buttons to adjust as needed. Press the “POWER ON/OFF” button to start the appliance.
6. Some ingredients must be shaken halfway through the preparation time, especially larger quantities. To shake the ingredients, pull the pan out of the appliance by the handle and shake, then slide the pan back into the air fryer and continue to cook.
• Caution: Do not press the button on the handle while shaking the pan.
• Tip 1: To reduce the weight, you can release the basket from the pan and shake only the
basket. To do this, pull the pan out of the appliance, place on a heat-resistant surface and press the button on the handle that releases the basket.
• Tip 2: You can set the cook timer for half of the total cooking time and the timer bell will indicate when to shake the ingredients, though the timer would need to be reset for the remainder of the cooking time.
• Tip 3: If the timer is set to the full cooking time, there is no timer bell to indicate when to shake the ingredients, but you can pull the pan out at any time to do so. The appliance will pause automatically when the pan is removed, and resume when it is put back.
7. The timer bell will go off to indicate when the cook time is complete. Pull the pan out and place on a heat resistant surface.
• Note: The appliance will automatically enter cooling mode after the cook time is complete, and will shut off after a short time. To turn the appliance off manually, touch the power button, set the timer to “0”, or remove the pan. It will cool for a short time, then shut off.
8. 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
9. To remove small ingredients, press the basket release button and 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.
• After using the air fryer, the pan and food will still be hot. Depending on the type of the food used in the air fryer, steam may escape from the pan.
10. Empty the basket into a bowl or onto a plate.
• Tip: To remove large or fragile ingredients, use a pair of tongs to lift the ingredients out of the basket
11. When your first batch of food is finished cooking, the air fryer will instantly be ready for preparing another batch.

• Press “POWER ON/OFF” to switch on the air fryer.
• By repeatedly pressing “MODE”, you can move from one preset to another.
• Once selected, press the “POWER ON/OFF” button again to start the appliance.

Cake 310F 30 min
Chicken 360F 20 min
Steak 400F 12 min

Cooking Tips

• Shake the basket halfway during the cooking process to ensure that it is cooked evenly. To do
so, lift the pan and basket by the handle from the air fryer and shake the food. The air fryer switches itself off automatically when you remove the pan and basket. Once the pan and basket are correctly re-inserted, the air fryer will switch itself on again automatically until the timer expires.

The specified times are only guide values. These times may be longer or shorter, depending on the nature of the ingredients and your personal preferences.
• Food that lies on top or across each other (e.g., fries) should be shaken halfway through the cooking time to ensure that it is cooked evenly. To do so, lift the pan and basket by the handle from the air fryer and shake the food. The air fryer will switch itself off automatically when you remove the pan and basket. Once the pan and basket are correctly re-inserted, the air fryer will switch itself on again automatically until the timer expires.
• Never pour the oil directly into the pan or basket. Food prepared with oil should be mixed in a bowl before placing inside the air fryer.
• Never place dough directly in the pan or basket. Place dough only in a suitable, heat-resistant container or baking tin (i.e., muffin tin). Place the container or baking tin in the basket.
