described in this manual.
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should
always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and injury
to persons.
Placement
• DO place the appliance on a countertop only. Always operate the
appliance on a stable, non-combustible, level surface.
• DO NOT place the appliance on or close to a hot gas or electric
burner, or a heated oven.
• DO NOT use the appliance near water or flame.
• DO NOT use outdoors. Keep out of direct sunlight.

User Manual
• 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 appliance 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
several hundred degrees. 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 appliance. Leave at least 5 in / 13 cm
of space around the appliance 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 appliance is in operation.
Doing so will prevent even cooking and may cause damage to
the appliance.
• DO NOT overfill the appliance. Overfilling may cause food to contact
the heating element, which may result in fire, property damage,
and/or personal injury.
• DO NOT pour oil into the cooking container. If needed, spray food
lightly with non-stick cooking spray. Using cooking oil could result
in personal injury and/or property damage.
• DO use caution with cooking containers made of materials other
than glass. Failure to do so may result in fire, personal injury, and/or
property damage.
