important safeguards ∙ 5
• Do not place anything on top of the appliance.
• During hot air frying, hot steam is released
through the Air Outlet openings. Keep your
hands and face at a safe distance from the steam
and from the Air Outlet openings. Be careful of
hot steam and air when you remove the Crisper
Drawer from the appliance.
• Immediately unplug the appliance if you see
dark smoke coming out of it. Wait for the smoke
emission to stop before you remove the Crisper
Drawer from the appliance.
• The appliance requires approximately 30minutes
to cool down before you can safely handle or
clean it.
• This appliance has a built-in timer and will
automatically shut off when the Timer has
nished. You can manually switch the appliance
off by turning the Timer counterclockwise to zero.
• Do not operate this appliance with a damaged
cord, damaged plug, or after the appliance
malfunctions or is dropped or damaged in any
manner. Return the appliance to the nearest
authorized service facility for examination, repair,
or adjustment.
• For maintenance other than cleaning, please
contact StoreBound directly at 1-800-898-6970
from 7AM–7PM PT Monday–Friday or by email at
property damage or personal injury.
• Do not immerse the appliance in water or
otherliquids.
• Make sure that the voltage indicated on the
appliance matches the local mains voltage.
Always make sure that the plug is inserted into a
grounded wall socket properly.
• This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is
wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric
shock, this plug will t in a polarized outlet only
one way. If the plug does not completely t in
the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not t,
contact a qualied electrician. Do not attempt to
modify the plug in any way.
• The power supply cord is short to reduce risk
from becoming entangled in or tripping over a
longer cord. An extension cord may be used if
care is exercised in its use. If an extension cord is
used, the marked electrical rating of the extension
cord should be at least as high as the electrical
rating of the appliance. The extension cord should
be arranged so that it will not drape over the
countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on

dry the appliance and any accompanying accessories. See “Cleaning & Maintenance” (page15) for
instructions.
• If you preheat the appliance before use, food will cook faster. To preheat, select desired temperature
(see “Temperature & Time Chart,” page14) and turn the Timer Dial to 3minutes; do not put any food
in the Crisper Basket. Wait until the Heating Light goes off (after approximately 3minutes). Then ll
the Crisper Basket and turn the Timer Dial to the desired preparation time.
Slide the Crisper Drawer back inside the Air Fryer. Refer to the
Temperature & Time Chart to determine the correct settings.Turn the
Temperature Control Dial to your desired temperature setting. Turn the
Timer to the correct setting.
Place the appliance on a stable, at, heat-resistant surface. Plug the Air
Fryer into a wall socket.
Remove the Crisper Drawer from the Air Fryer. Place food in the Crisper
Basket in the Crisper Drawer. There is no need to remove the Crisper
Basket from the Crisper Drawer. There is no need to add any oil as the
appliance works with hot air.

Tips & Tricksusing YOUR FAMILY air fryer
tips & tricks ∙ 1312 ∙ using your family air fryer
To remove smaller items such as fries, press the Crisper Basket Release
Button and lift the Crisper Basket out of the Crisper Drawer. Don’t turn
over the Crisper Drawer to prevent any oil that has collected on the
bottom of the Crisper Drawer from being spilled onto the food.
When you hear the Timer ring, the preparation time has elapsed. Pull
the Crisper Drawer out of the appliance and place it on a heat-resistant
surface. Check if the food is done. If the food is not ready, simply slide
the Crisper Drawer back into the appliance and set the Timer for a few
extra minutes.
Empty the Crisper Basket into a bowl or onto a plate. To remove large
or fragile items, lift them out of the Crisper Basket with a pair of tongs.
Excess oil from any foods will be collected at the bottom of the Crisper
Drawer. Allow the appliance to cool before disposing of any excess oil.

For even results, some foods require shaking halfway through
the preparation time. See the Temperature & Time Chart for
recommendations. Remove the Crisper Drawer from the appliance and
shake it gently. Slide the Crisper Drawer back into the Air Fryer.
5• Air frying smaller items or fewer items will require a slightly shorter cooking time than larger
items ormore items.
• Shaking smaller items halfway during the preparation time optimizes the end result and can
help prevent unevenly fried foods.
• Soak fresh potatoes in water for 30minutes, then add a small amount of oil for a crispy result.
Fry your potatoes in the air fryer within a few minutes of adding the oil.
• Do not prepare extremely greasy items, such as sausages, in the Air Fryer.
• Snacks like chicken nuggets and mozzarella sticks, that can be prepared in an oven can also
beprepared in the Air Fryer.
• The optimal amount of food for this appliance is 1 pound.
• Use store bought dough to prepare lled snacks like calzones quickly and easily. Items made
withstore-bought dough will require a shorter preparation time than homemade dough.
• Use a baking pan in the Crisper Basket if you want to bake a cake or quiche or if you want to fry
fragile or lled items.
• You can also use the Air Fryer to reheat foods. To reheat food, set the temperature to 300℉
for up to 10minutes.

PROBLEM POSSIBLE CAUSE SOLUTION
The Air Fryer does not work. The appliance is not
plugged in.
You have not set the Timer.
Plug the mains plug into
a grounded wall socket.
Turn the Timer Dial to the
required preparation time
to switch the appliance on.
The food is not done after
the recommended time. Too much food has been added to the Crisper Basket.
The temperature was set
toolow.
Use less food and cook in
batches if necessary. Your food
will also cook more evenly.
Turn the Temperature Dial to the
required temperature setting
(see “Settings” chart, page 14).
Food is fried unevenly in the
AirFryer. Certain types of food need to be shaken halfway through the
preparation time.
Items that lie on top of or across
each other (e.g. fries) need to
be shaken halfway through
the preparation time (see
“Settings”chart, page 14).
Snacks are not crispy when they
come out of the Air Fryer. The food was not dry enough or needs more oil. Make sure to properly dry the food or lightly brush some oil
onto the snacks for a crispier
result.
I cannot slide the Crisper
Drawer into the appliance
properly.
There is too much food in the
Crisper Basket.
The Crisper Basket is not placed
in the Crisper Drawer correctly.
Do not ll the Crisper Basket
beyond the MAX line.
Push the Crisper Basket down
into the Crisper Drawer until you
hear a “click” sound.
PROBLEM POSSIBLE CAUSE SOLUTION
White smoke is coming out of
the appliance. Your food is too greasy.
The Crisper Drawer still
contains residue from previous
use.
When you fry greasy items in
the Air Fryer, a large amount
of fat will leak into the Crisper
Drawer, The fat produces
white smoke and the Crisper
Drawer may heat up more than
usual. This does not affect the
appliance or the end result.
White smoke is caused by
grease heating up in the Crisper
Drawer. Make sure you clean the
Crisper Drawer properly after
eachuse.
Fresh fries are fried unevenly in
the Air Fryer. Certain types of food need to be shaken halfway through the
preparation time.
Items that lie on top of or across
each other (e.g. fries) need to
be shaken halfway through the
preparation time (see “Settings”
chart, page 14).
Fresh fries are not crispy when
they come out of the Air Fryer. The crispiness of the fries depends on the amount of oil
and water in the fries.
Make sure you dry the potato
sticks properly before you add
the oil.
Cut the potato sticks smaller
for a crispier result.
Add slightly more oil for
acrispier result.
