ENGLISH

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 is not recommended for use with this product, but if one must be used:

— The marked electrical rating must be at least as great as that of the product.
- If the product is of a 3-prong grounding type, the extension cord must be a grounding-type 3-wire cord.
— Arrange the extension cord so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be tripped over or pulled.
- If this product is equipped with a polarized plug, one blade will be wider than the other blade; this is a safety feature. The plug will fit into a polarized outlet only one way. If you are unable to insert the plug into the electrical outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Never use the plug with an extension cord unless you can fully insert the plug into the extension cord. Do not alter the plug. Do not attempt to defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.

Before First Use

WARNING: Do not place any part of the product in a dishwasher.

1. To remove any dust that may have accumulated, wash the Fry Basket with warm soapy water and dry thoroughly. Wipe the interior and exterior of the Air Fryer with a damp towel. Dry thoroughly. Note: NEVER immerse the air fryer body, cord, or plug in water.
2. THIS IS AN OIL-FREE FRYER THAT WORKS WITH HOT AIR, DO NOT FILL THE FRY BASKET WITH OIL OR FRYING FAT.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR FUTURE REFERENCE

Using Your Air Fryer:

Attention: First use may cause a slight odor or small smoking upon heating, it is normal. This is a result of the heating element chemical reaction. It quickly goes away.

OPERATIONAL LIGHTS:

Timer → Powers Unit On ‘Power On’ (Orange LED)

Temperature → Generates Heat ‘Working’ (Green LED)

Green LED will turn off and on, regulating specified temperature setting.

1. Carefully pull the basket out of the air fryer (Fig. 6) and put the ingredients in the fry basket. (Fig. 4)
2. Slide the fry basket back into the air fryer, carefully align with the guides in the body of the air fryer. (Fig. 5).
3. To switch on the appliance, turn the timer knob to the required preparation time. (Fig. 7) POWER LIGHT (ORANGE) will light up, fan will start.
4. Turn the temperature control knob to the required temperature. (Fig. 8) See section "Settings" to determine the right temperature.

Note: If you want, you can also let the appliance preheat without any ingredients inside. In that case, turn the timer knob to more than 3 minutes and wait until the heating-up light (GREEN) goes out (after approx. 3 minutes). Then fill the fry basket and turn the timer knob to the required preparation time.

Some ingredients require shaking halfway through the preparation time. To shake the ingredients, pull the fry basket out of the appliance by the handle and shake it. Then slide the fry basket back into the air fryer. Tip: If you set the timer to half the preparation time, you hear the timer bell when you have to shake the ingredients. However, this means that you have to set the timer again to the remaining preparation time after shaking.

Caution: Do not touch the fry basket during and sometime after use, as it gets very hot.

Only hold the fry pan by the handle. The appliance needs approximately 60 minutes to cool down to safely handle and clean.

1. When you hear the timer bell, the set preparation time has elapsed. Pull the fry basket out of the appliance. Check if the ingredients are ready.
2. To remove ingredients, pull the fry basket out of the air fryer. Use a non-metal spatula or a pair of tongs to remove ingredients to a clean plate.
3. DO NOT turn the fry basket upside down to dump the food on a plate, as any excess oil that has collected on the bottom of the fry basket, under the trivet, will leak onto the ingredients. These ingredients will be VERY HOT. WARNING: CAUTION DO NOT TOUCH ANY PART OF THE BASKET IMMEDIATELY AFTER USE.
4. The Air Fryer is instantly ready for preparing the next batch once you have made the first batch.
5. DO NOT prepare overly greasy ingredients, such as sausage, in the air fryer.
6. You can also use the air fryer to reheat ingredients. To reheat ingredients, set the temperature to 300F for up to 10 minutes.

Cleaning Your Air Fryer:

WARNING: Always turn the appliance "Off," unplug the product, and allow it to cool before cleaning or storing it.

1. Wipe the outside of the appliance with a damp cloth.
2. Clean the fry basket and trivet with hot water, dish soap and a non-abrasive sponge.
3. You can use degreasing liquid to remove any remaining food.

Tip: If food is stuck to the basket or the trivet, fill the basket with hot soapy water. Put the trivet in the basket and let the trivet and the basket soak for approx. 10 minutes.

1. Clean the inside of the appliance with hot water and non-abrasive sponge.
