IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

WARNING: To reduce risk of injury and property damage, you must read this entire guide

before assembling and operating this air fryer. Always follow basic safety

precautions when using the air fryer.

Key Safety Points

Do NOT tou hot surfaces. After use, the fry

basket and outer basket may be hot.

Use the handle.

Only press the release button with the baskets

resting ﬂat on a counter (or any level, heat-

resistant surface).

The handle is attaed to the fry basket, not

the outer basket. When you press the release

button, the outer basket will drop.

Do NOT blo any ventilation openings. Hot

steam is released through the air outlets. Keep

your hands and face clear of all openings.

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

General Safety

Please read all instructions before using. When using electrical appliances, basic safety

precautions should always be followed, including the following:

• Do NOT immerse the air fryer plug or housing in water or other liquid. This will create a

risk of electrical sho.

• Closely supervise ildren near the air fryer.

• Turn oﬀ, unplug, and allow the air fryer to cool before cleaning, maintenance, moving,

and when not in use.

• Do NOT clean with metal scouring pads. Metal fragments can break oﬀ the pad and tou

electrical parts, creating a risk of electric sho.

• Do NOT use the air fryer if it is damaged or not working, or if the cord or plug is damaged.

Contact the nearest authorized service facility for examination or repair.

• Do NOT use third-party replacement parts or accessories, as this may cause injuries

and/or damage.

• Do NOT place the air fryer on a stove, near gas or electric burners, or in a heated oven.

• Do NOT place anything on top of the air fryer, thus bloing the air intake.

• Do NOT store anything inside the air fryer.

• The air fryer is designed for household use and may not be safe for commercial use.

• Only use the air fryer as directed in this manual.

Operation Safety

• Do NOT use outdoors.

• For household use only. Not for commercial use.

• The air fryer works with hot air only and is not for deep frying. Never ﬁll baskets with oil

or fat, as this may cause a ﬁre hazard.

• Never use without the baskets in place.

• Use extreme caution when removing the baskets (or moving the air fryer), as the baskets

may contain hot grease or other hot liquids. Use caution when disposing of hot grease or

other hot liquids.

• Use caution when touing the heating elements after use, as residual heat may be

present.

• Do NOT place oversized foods or metal utensils into the air fryer.

• Do NOT place paper, cardboard, non-heat resistant plastic, or similar materials into the air

fryer. You may use parment paper or foil.

• Never put baking or parment paper into the air fryer without food on top. Air

circulation can cause the parment paper to lift and tou the heating coils.

• Always place the ingredients to be fried in the fry basket to prevent it from coming into

contact with the heating elements.

• Keep the air fryer away from ﬂammable materials (curtains, tablecloth, etc).

• Use on a ﬂat, stable, heat-resistant surface away from heat sources or liquids.

• Immediately unplug the air fryer if you see dark smoke coming out. This indicates that

food is burning. Wait for the smoke to clear before pulling the baskets out.

• Do NOT leave the air fryer unattended while in use.

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

Plug and Cord Safety

• Always turn the timer knob to the Oﬀ position before removing the power cord from the

wall outlet.

• Do NOT alter the power cord in any way. The power cord has a polarized plug (one prong

is wider than the other), whi ﬁts into a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does

not ﬁt into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not ﬁt, do NOT use the plug in that

outlet.

• Do NOT use an extension cord if the marked electrical rating of the cord is less than that

of the appliance.

• Do NOT let the power cord (or any extension cord) hang over the edge of a table or

counter, or allow it to tou hot surfaces.

• Never connect the air fryer to an external timer swit or separate remote-control system.

This could create a risk of a hazardous situation.

• A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the risk resulting from becoming

entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.

• Extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use.

• If an extension cord is used:

• The marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least as great as

electrical rating of the appliance.

• The longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the counter or

table top where it could be pulled on by ildren or tripped over unintentionally.

• If the appliance is of the grounded type, the cord set or extension cord should be a

grounding-type 3-wire cord.

USING THE AIR FRYER

Before First Use

Before using the air fryer for the ﬁrst time:

1. Remove all paaging from the air fryer, including any temporary labels and stiers.

2. Wash the fry basket and outer basket with warm, soapy water. Wipe the inside and

outside of the fryer with a clean, moist cloth. (See “Cleaning and Storage” on page 10

for details.) Dry with a towel. Slide the baskets into the air fryer until the baskets cli

into place.

3. It is recommended before ﬁrst use to heat the air fryer at 400 °F (204 °C) for 10 minutes

with the baskets inserted and empty. (See “Preheating” on page 8 for instructions.)

NOTE: There may be a small amount of white smoke or unpleasant odor. This is normal.

Preparing for Use

1. Make sure the air fryer and the baskets are clean

and dry. (See “Cleaning and Storage” on page 10

for details.)

2. Place the air fryer on a stable, level, heat-resistant

surface, away from areas that can be damaged by

steam (su as walls or cupboards).

3. Leave 5 in. (13 cm) of space behind and above the

air fryer. Leave enough room to remove the baskets.

Preheating

We recommend preheating the air fryer 3–5 minutes before placing food into the fry basket.

Food may not cook thoroughly without preheating. To preheat:

1. Place the fry basket (3) into the outer basket (6) and slide the baskets into the cooking

unit until they cli into place.

NOTE: The air fryer will not work unless the baskets are inserted properly.

2. Plug the power cord into a 120 V, dedicated outlet.

NOTE: If there is any extra power cord, wrap it around the power cord organizer to

reduce the risk of tripping or entanglement.

3. Turn the Temp knob to 400 °F (204 °C).

4. Turn the Timer knob to between 3 and 5 minutes.

The air fryer starts to preheat. The timer will “ding” once preheating is complete.

Air Frying

CAUTION: Do NOT use the outer basket without the fry basket inserted.

CAUTION: Do NOT tou hot surfaces.

CAUTION: Do NOT press the release button while carrying the baskets. The outer basket will

drop. Handle the baskets with care.

CAUTION: Wat for hot oil or fat collected in the outer basket during cooking.

1. Once the air fryer has preheated, carefully remove the baskets using the basket handle. If

you feel resistance, hold the top of the unit with one hand and gently pull the baskets out

with the other hand.

2. Place the food to be cooked in the fry basket. (See “Cooking Guide” on page 10 for tips.)

3. Turn the Temp knob to the desired cooking temperature.

4. Turn the Timer knob to the desired cooking time.

5. Slide the baskets ba into the cooking unit until you hear a “cli”.

NOTE: The air fryer will not work unless the baskets are inserted properly.

The air fryer starts the cooking process.

6. It is recommended to shake the basket contents

halfway through the set cooking time.

a. Take the baskets out of the air fryer, being careful

of hot steam. The air fryer pauses the cooking

cycle when the baskets are removed.

b. Carefully shake or ﬂip the food. (See “Shaking

Food” below for details.) Be careful not to press

the release button on the baskets.

7. Put the baskets ba into the air fryer to continue

cooking. When the unit “dings”, cooking time is

complete.

8. Unplug the air fryer.

9. Take the baskets out of the air fryer, being careful of

hot steam.

10. Place the baskets on a stable, level, heat-resistant

surface.

11. Press the release button to separate the fry basket

from the outer basket.

12. Carefully remove the cooked food.

Shaking Food

Shake the food in the fry basket halfway through cooking.

• Avoid shaking longer than 30 seconds, as the air fryer may start to cool down.

• Without shaking, foods may not be crispy or evenly cooked.

• Small foods that are staed will usually need shaking, su as fries or nuggets.

• You can ﬂip other foods, su as steak, to ensure even browning.

Cooking Guide

Overlling

• If the basket is overﬁlled, food will cook unevenly.

Using Oil

• Adding a small amount of oil to your food will make it crispier. Use no more than

2tablespoons of oil.

• Oil sprays are excellent for applying small amounts of oil evenly to all food items.

French Fries

• Add ½ to 1 tablespoon oil for crispiness.

• When making fries from raw potatoes, soak uncooked fries in water for 15 minutes to

remove star prior to frying. Pat dry with a towel before adding oil.

• Cut uncooked fries smaller for crispier results.

• Try cutting into 1/4 in. x 3 in. (0.6 cm x 7.6 cm) strips.

Food Tips

• Foods that are smaller in size usually require a slightly shorter cooking time than larger

size foods.

• Large quantities of food may require a slightly longer cooking time than smaller

quantities.

• You can air fry any frozen foods or goods that can be baked in an oven.

• To make cakes, hand pies, or any food with ﬁlling or batter, place food in a heat-safe

container before placing in the fry basket.

• Air frying high-fat foods will cause fat to drip to the bottom of the baskets. To avoid

excess smoke while cooking, pour out fat drippings after cooking.

• Liquid-marinated foods create splatter and excess smoke. Pat these foods dry before

airfrying.

CLEANING AND STORAGE

Always clean the air fryer after every use to prevent oil build up and burning. Store the air

fryer when not in use.

Cleaning

1. Unplug the air fryer and allow it to cool completely before cleaning.

2. Wipe the outside of the air fryer with a soft, moist cloth. Make sure the cloth is not too

wet so that water does not enter the air fryer.

3. Wash the fry basket and outer basket with hot, soapy water and a non-abrasive sponge.

Soak if necessary.

NOTE: The fry basket and outer basket have a non-sti coating. Avoid metal utensils and

abrasive cleaning materials.

NOTE: The outer basket is NOT dishwasher safe. The fry basket IS diswasher safe.

NOTE: Press handle release button (9) to deta fry basket for easier cleaning.

4. Clean the inside of the air fryer (including the heating coil) with a slightly moist, non-

abrasive sponge or cloth. Do NOT immerse in water.

5. Dry before using. Make sure the heating coil is dry before turning on the air fryer.

Storage

To store the air fryer:

1. Unplug the air fryer and allow the air fryer to cool completely.

2. Make sure all parts are clean and dry. Never store the air fryer while it is hot or wet.

3. Wrap the power cord around the power cord organizer.

4. Store the air fryer in its box or in a clean, dry place.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Problem Probable Cause

The air fryer will not turn

on or will not heat up.

Make sure the air fryer is plugged in. Try a diﬀerent outlet.

Push the baskets securely into the air fryer.

The air fryer turned oﬀ on

its own during cooking.

Make sure the baskets are pushed securely into the air fryer.

As a safety feature, the air fryer comes with overheat

protection. If the air fryer overheats, it will automatically shut

down. Allow the air fryer to cool down before using it again.

Foods are not completely

cooked.

Place smaller bates of ingredients into the fry basket. If the

basket is overﬁlled, then ingredients will be undercooked.

Increase cooking temperature or time.

Foods are cooked unevenly. Ingredients that are staed on top of ea other or close to

ea other need to be shaken during cooking (see “Shaking

Food” on page 9).

Foods are not crispy after

air frying.

Spraying or brushing a small amount of oil on foods can

increase crispiness (see “Cooking Guide” on page 10).

Fren fries are not fried

correctly.

See “Fren Fries” on page 10.

Baskets will not slide into

the air fryer securely.

Make sure the basket is not overﬁlled with food.

Make sure the fry basket is securely inside the outer basket.

White smoke is coming out

of the air fryer.

The air fryer may produce some white smoke when you use it

for the ﬁrst time. This is normal.

Make sure the baskets are cleaned properly and not greasy.

Frying greasy foods will cause oil or fat to leak into the outer

basket. This oil will produce white smoke, and the baskets

may be hotter than usual. This is normal and should not aﬀect

cooking. Handle the baskets with care.

Dark smoke is coming out

of the air fryer.

Immediately unplug the air fryer. Food is burning. Wait for the

smoke to clear before removing the baskets.

Any other servicing should be performed by an authorized service representative.
