USING THE APPLIANCE
Your new air fryer allows you to prepare your favorite ingredients and snacks in a
healthier way. The air fryer uses hot air in combination with high-speed air circulation
(rapid hot air) and a top grill to prepare a variety of tasty dishes in a healthy, fast and
easy way. Your ingredients are heated from all sides at once and there is no need
to add oil to most of the ingredients. Please refer to the table on page 10 for further
information.

+/- buttons (on the right) to set your desired time, approximately 3-5 minutes for
preheating.
NOTE: Long press +/- buttons to fast forward or backward to adjust the
temperature and time more quickly.
NOTE: If you do not want to warm-up and start frying immediately, skip step 4

SET UP & USE
COOKING

thehandle.(Seegure1)
2. Put the ingredients in the
basket.(Seegure2)
3. Use the handle to slide the
frying pan back into the air
fryer.(Seegure1)
NOTE: Never use the pan without the basket in it. If the appliance
is heating ingredients in the absence of the basket, use a
special oven glove to open the drawer. The side walls and
edge of the drawer can become very hot.
4. Press the timer increase/decrease buttons to set the required
time. See ‘Settings’ section (See Page 10) in this manual to
determine the correct cooking time.
NOTE: Long press the timer increase/decrease buttons to quickly adjust the time
forward or backward.
NOTE: Add 3 minutes to the preparation time when the appliance is without
preheat.
NOTE: If the required cooking time is not set within 5 minutes, the appliance will
automatically shut down out of safety concern.
5. Press the button to start the cooking process.
NOTE: Display shows timer countdown from the set time.
NOTE: The excess oil from the ingredients will be collected in the bottom of the
pan.
6. Some ingredients require shaking halfway through the
preparation time. (see ‘Settings’ section in this book) To turn over
the ingredients, pull the pan out of the appliance by the handle
and turn over the ingredients. Then put the pan back into the
fryer. (Figure 3)
CAUTION: Never use the pan without the basket in it. If the pan is
not sitting in the air fryer properly, the appliance won’t work! Don’t touch
the pan during and immediately after use as it gets very hot. Only hold the
pan by the handle.
CAUTION: Do not press the basket release button of the handle during shaking. (See
gure3)
Tip: To reduce the weight, you can remove the basket from pan and shake the basket
only. To do so, pull the pan out of the appliance, place it on a heat-resistant
surface and press the basket release button of the handle.
Tip: If you set the timer to half the preparation time, the timer bell will serve as a
reminder to shake the ingredients. However, you have to set the timer again for
the remaining preparation time after shaking is complete.
Tip: If you set the timer to full preparation time, you can pull out the pan at any
time to check the ingredients cooking condition. The power will shut down
automatically and resume after sliding the pan back into the appliance.

SET UP & USE
NOTE: Timer will continue to count even when pan has been pulled out.

pan out of the appliance and place it on a heat-resistant surface.
NOTE: You can also switch off the appliance manually, please press / button.
8. Pull the handle to take out the drawer and place it on a heat-resistant surface.
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.

buttonandliftthebasketoutofthepan.(Seegure4)Empty
the basket into a bowl or a plate. To remove large or fragile
ingredients, use a pair of tongs to lift the ingredients out of the
basket.(Seegure5)
WARNING: Do not turn the basket upside down with the pan still
attached as any excess oil that has collected on the bottom of the
pan will leak on to the ingredients. After frying, the pan and the
ingredients are hot. Depending on the type of the ingredients in the
air fryer, steam may escape from the pan. After frying, the pan and
the inside metal cover are hot and should not be touched.
10. When a batch of ingredients is ready, the air fryer is instantly
ready for preparing another batch.
NOTE: If you want to cook the next batch of ingredients, repeat Step 1-9.
NOTE: If you want to cook the next batch of ingredients within 60 minutes, there
is no need to re-preheat the appliance.
11. Press the power / button for 3 seconds to close the air fryer.
SETTINGS TABLE
The table on the next page helps you to select the basic settings for the ingredients
you want to prepare.
NOTE: Keep in mind that these settings are suggestions only. As ingredients differ
inorigin,size,shapeaswellasbrand,wecannotguaranteethebestsetting
for your ingredients.
Because the rapid hot air technology instantly reheats the air inside the appliance,
pullingthepanbrieyoutoftheapplianceduringhotairfryingbarelydisturbsthe
process.
NOTE: Add 3 minutes to the preparation time when you air fryer is cold when you
