User Manual
DO NOT allow children or persons with reduced physical, sensory
or mental capabilities to operate this appliance. Close supervision is
necessary when any appliance is used near children and individuals
with reduced capabilities. Children should not play with this appliance.
DO NOT use the appliance for anything other than household use.
It is not intended for commercial use.
DO NOT leave the appliance unattended while in use.
DO NOT use the appliance for more than 60 minutes in a 2-hour period.
Air Frying Cautions
When the air fryer is in operation, hot air is released through the
air vents. Keep your hands and face at a safe distance from the air
vents and take extreme caution when removing hot accessories
from the appliance. Failure to do so may result in personal injury
or property damage.
While cooking, the internal temperature of the appliance reaches
very high temperatures. To avoid personal injury, never place
unprotected hands inside the appliance until it has cooled to
room temperature.
DO NOT use a ceramic-coated or stoneware pot (such as CorningWare®
stoneware) for air frying.
DO NOT block the vents on the air fryer. Leave at least 13 cm
of space around the air fryer when in use.
DO NOT place the appliance on a hot stove.
DO NOT operate the appliance on or near combustible materials
such as tablecloths and curtains.
DO NOT cover the air vents while the air fryer is in operation.
Doing so will prevent even cooking and may cause damage to
the appliance.
