IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS.
When using electrical appliances, always follow basic safety precautions to
reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and/or injury, including the following:
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
This product is for household use only.
POLARIZED PLUG (USA/MEXICO)
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade
is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of
electric shock, this plug is intended to fit into a
polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does
not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it
still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician.
Do not attempt to modify the plug in any way.
TAMPER-RESISTANT SCREW
Warning: This appliance is equipped with a
tamper-resistant screw to prevent removal of
the outer cover. To reduce the risk of fire or
electric shock, do not attempt to remove the
outer cover. There are no user-serviceable
parts inside. Repair should be done only by
authorized service personnel.
ELECTRICAL CORD
A short power-supply cord is used to reduce the
risks resulting from becoming entangled in or
tripping over a longer cord, or being grabbed by
children.
Note: If the power cord is damaged, please
contact the warranty department listed in these
instructions.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION
The pot gets hot. When in use, always use oven mitts or potholders when touching any
outer or inner surface of the appliance.
You can go through the selection process and setting up the unit while the lid is open,
but unit will not start the cooking process until lid is closed. Opening the lid in the middle
of the cycle will also pause the cooking.
Do not use metal utensils in the cooking pot or on the grill plate.
SWITCHING TO GRILL AFTER USING ANOTHER FUNCTION
If the unit is already warm from using a function other than GRILL and the grill plate is at
room temperature when you place it in the unit, we recommend allowing the grill plate
to heat up for at least 6 minutes before placing ingredients on it.
As the unit continues to run and the grill plate heats up, the digital temperature readout
will continue to blink until the unit reaches the desired temperature. When the unit
reaches the desired temperature, the readout will stop flashing.
BATCH GRILLING
When grilling more than two consecutive batches of food, if grease is building up above
the grill plate, you can empty the grease to do more batches. It is recommended that
you wait until the unit is cool before emptying the fat/oil from the removable cooking
pot. This will help prevent grease from burning and causing smoke. We also recommend
allowing the grill plate to heat back up for at least 3–5 minutes between batches to
ensure consistent grill marks and chart.
COOKING FUNCTION DESCRIPTION
GRILL - Use for grilling foods like burgers, steak, chicken, vegetables, and more.
AIR FRY - Use to fry your favorite foods with air instead of large amounts of oil. Works
well with frozen snacks, chicken, fries, vegetables and more.

and then beep. Add food ingredients after the unit is preheated.
7. When the cooking cycle has been started, the 8 circular LED lights around the time/
