Oil free frying! How the air fryer works...
Fat reduction:
Air fryer flips the fat frying process by reducing fat in the cooking ingredients making it possible to enjoy
healthy eating.
High speed air circulation technology:
air fryer used high speed air circulation technology to evenly cook the ingredients for a more crispy frying
method.
Vortex plate:
Quick moving air from the top down allows us to have crispy delicious food while giving up fried foods.
Automatic Power “OFF” capability:
When preparation time is over, the ingredients in the basket undergo desorption. At the same time the
automatic “OFF” function is used for added safety and electricity savings.
Time control function:
Cooking time is up to 60 minutes, power goes off automatically for safe use.
Temperature control function:
180-400℉degrees Fahrenheit temperature control system, adjusts accordingly to the food that is being
cooked so you can enjoy the best fried dishes.
Simple cleaning:
You need only clean the cooking basket after cooking. Special coating makes it easy to put in the dishwasher
without handle.
Cooking fried foods is often difficult and sloppy but the air fryer allows you to be able to cook with ease.

Operating / Air-frying...
Pull out the air fryer's frying pan. Place foods in the basket. Note: Exceeding the MAX mark
may affect the performance and quality of the food.
Push the frying pan TRAY back into the unit. The frying pan cannot be used without the frying
pan insert.
Caution: The pan is hot during use and remains hot for some time after use so use caution
when handling. Hold the frying pan by the handle only.
Set the temperature control to the desired temperature and time. The product must be turned
on in order to set the timer switch to the desired time.
If you do not warm the unit up add 3 minutes to your cooking / preparation time.
When food cooking time expires the timer bell rings.
After cooking remove the frying pan carefully and check the dish to see if your food is
prepared / cooked.
The temperature control switch allows you to turn the unit off.
If what you are cooking is not sufficiently cooked, slide the pan back into the main unit and
add a few minutes to the timer.
The frying pan comes mounted to the bottom of the fry basket, the pan gathers oil from
ingredients that can flow back onto the food in the basket, re-circulating onto the food.
Cooking ingredients and the pan are in a high-temperature state, when the unit is in
operation, be careful handling foods coming out of the air fryer, also be careful sliding /
opening the 'pull-out' trying tray pan.
Additionally, hot steam from the cooking food is released from the unit, so use caution.
Clean the product after using. Use caution when washing with materials used for metal
kitchen utensils such as steel wool as they can cause damage to the Teflon coating on the
insides of the pan and basket. (Always use a soft sponge when washing.) Also ensure the unit
has cooled down before attempting to clean.
