Do not fill the Frying Basket beyond the
Max Line as this could have a negative
effect on the cooking of the ingredients.
Note: As this fryer works using hot air

Basket with oil or frying fat.

Before First Use
Remove all packaging materials,
plastic, tape, and labels.
Clean the Frying Basket and Crisp-
ing Rack with warm water, soap, and
a non-abrasive sponge. As the
Frying Basket and Baking Pan have
a non-stick, food-safe coating, be
sure not to use an abrasive sponge
or metal scouring pad as this will
damage the coating.
(Tip: The Basket and Rack and also
be cleaned in the dishwasher)
Wipe the inside and outside of the
Air Fryer with a dry cloth. Note:
The Air Fryer may make some
smoke or slight odor the first time
you use it. This is normal.
Ensure the heating element and fan
inside the Air Fryer are both clean
and clear from any obstructions.
Note: This Air Fryer must only be
used with the Frying Basket securely
inside the appliance.
Do not attempt to use the Air Fryer
without the Frying Basket securely
inside the unit.

Some parts of the Air Fryer are
extremely hot during operation such
as the exterior, interior, trays, and all
accessories. Do not touch hot
surfaces, parts, accessories, interior
or exterior while cooking. Use a
heat-resistant oven glove instead of
touching the Air Fryer or its acces-
sories directly to avoid bodily injury.
The Air Fryer contains both elec-
tronic and heating elements. To
avoid electrical shock, do not
immerse the power cord, plug, or
housing in water or put them under
the tap during cleaning.
Prevent any water or other liquids
from entering the Air Fryer.
Do not cover the air ventilation inlet
and air outlet of the Air Fryer while
it’s in use.
During cooking, hot steam is
released from the air outlet open-
ings. Be sure to keep your hands,
face, and all other body parts away
to avoid injury. Also, be careful of
hot steam and air as you open the
Air Fryer or remove the Frying
Basket.

Do not fill the Frying Basket or
internal chamber of the Air Fryer
with oil or fat as this may cause a
fire hazard. The appliance uses hot
air to cook.
Always allow the Air Fryer and all
parts and accessories to cool down
completely before handling or
cleaning.
Do not clean with metal scouring
pads or abrasive sponges and
materials.
To prevent a fire, be sure to keep
the Air Fryer away from all flamma-
ble materials, such as curtains,
drapes, tablecloths, cloth, wallpa-
pers, and walls.
Do not place anything on the top of
the Air Fryer or directly behind it.
The Air Fryer is intended for house-
hold use only. Do not use the Air
Fryer for anything other than its
intended use or beyond the specifi-
cations of this manual.
In the case of a fire, never attempt
to extinguish the flames with water.
Immediately unplug the appliance. If
safe, smother the flames with a

damp cloth. Contact emergency
services and/or our Customer Care
Team.

Cooking Instructions
Place the Air Fryer on an even
surface and plug into a grounded
wall socket. Be sure that the Air

appliances or furniture to avoid
damage to the surrounding
environment and allow for
proper air circulation.
Pull the Frying Basket Drawer out of
the Air Fryer and place the ingredi-
ents inside of the Frying Basket.
Note: Do not fill the Frying Basket
beyond the Max Line as this could
have a negative effect on the cook-
ing of the ingredients. Note: As this
fryer works using hot air circulation,
do not fill the Frying Basket Drawer
with oil or frying fat.
Slide the Frying Basket Drawer back
into the Air Fryer and turn the
Temperature knob to the desired
cooking temperature. (the default
temperature is 370 °F).

Tap the On/Off button once more to
begin the cooking cycle. The spin-
ning blades on the Heating Fan Icon
indicate that hot air is circulating in
the Air Fryer. Note: When the
blades of the Heating Fan Icon are
spinning, this indicates that hot air is
circulating at high speeds inside the
Air Fryer. Keep all body parts away
from the Air Outlet vents during this
time and be careful of steam and
hot air when removing the Frying
Basket Drawer.
If desired, adjust the temperature
and timer using the buttons during
the cooking cycle. Note: For the
best cooking results with smaller
ingredients such as fries, pull out the
Drawer by the handle and gently
shake the ingredients halfway
through the cooking time. Be
cautious of hot air and steam that
may be released. Then slide the
Drawer back into the Air Fryer to
continue cooking
When the set preparation time
elapses, for 20 seconds the Air Fryer
fan may continue to spin allowing
the appliance to cool down. After
which the Air Fryer will beep 5

Cooking Instructions (continued)
Slide the Frying Basket Drawer out
carefully and place it on a heat-resis-
tant surface. Note: Any excess oil will
have been collected at the bottom of
the Drawer, so do not turn the Drawer
upside down as this hot oil will spill.
If the ingredients are ready to serve,
simply retrieve your food with tongs
or other heat-safe tool. Tip: For
safety, the Air Fryer will shut off when
the Drawer is pulled out. Therefore,
when cooking smaller ingredients, you
may set the timer for the halfway
point and set again for the remaining
time after shaking the ingredients.
