IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
WARNING: Read this manual carefully and completely and retain it for future reference. Failure to adhere to safety instructions may result in serious injury or damage.
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed:
- This appliance can be used by persons with reduced physical, sensory, or mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge if they have been given supervision or instruction concerning the use of the appliance in a safe way and understand the hazards involved.
- Keep the appliance and its cord out of reach of children. DO NOT allow the appliance to be used by children. Close supervision is necessary when used near children.
- Children should not play with the appliance.
- NEVER use an electrical socket below the counter.
- NEVER connect this appliance to an external timer switch or a separate remote-control system.
- When using this appliance, provide at least 6 inches (15.25 cm) of space above and on all sides for air circulation.
- To protect against electrical shock, DO NOT immerse the cord, plugs, or main unit housing in water or other liquid. Cook only in the basket provided.
- Regularly inspect the appliance and power cord. DO NOT use the appliance if there is damage to the power cord or plug. If the appliance malfunctions or has been damaged in any way, immediately stop use and call Customer Service.
- DO NOT use an extension short cord. A short power-supply cord is used to reduce the risk of children grabbing the cord or becoming entangled and to reduce the risk of people tripping over a longer cord.
- ALWAYS ensure the appliance is properly assembled before use.
- DO NOT cover the air intake vent or air outlet while the unit is operating. Doing so will prevent even cooking and may damage the unit or cause it to overheat.
- Before placing the removable basket into the main unit, ensure the basket and unit are clean and dry by wiping it with a soft cloth.
- This appliance is for household use only. DO NOT use this appliance for anything other than its intended use. DO NOT use in moving vehicles or boats. DO NOT use outdoors. Misuse may cause injury.
- Intended for worktop use only. Ensure the surface is level, clean, and dry. DO NOT move the appliance when in use.
- DO NOT place the appliance near the edge of a worktop during operation.
- DO NOT use accessory attachments not recommended or sold by the manufacturer. DO NOT place accessories in a microwave, toaster oven, convection oven, or conventional oven or on a ceramic cooktop, electric coil, gas burner range, or outdoor grill. The use of accessory attachments not recommended by the manufacturer may cause fire, electric shock, or injuries.
- ALWAYS ensure the basket is properly closed before operating.
- DO NOT use the appliance without the removable basket installed.
- DO NOT use this appliance for deep-frying.
- DO NOT place the appliance on hot surfaces near a hot gas or electric burner or in a heated oven.

Notes on the plug
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug fits in 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 modify the plug in any way.
Notes on the cord
The provided short power-supply cord should be used to reduce the risk resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. An extension cord is not recommended for use with this product. Always plug directly into a wall outlet or receptacle.

Using your air fryer
Caution:
- Your air fryer works with hot air. Do not fill the pan with oil or any liquid.
- Do not place anything next to the air outlet on the back of your air fryer or on the air inlet on top of your air fryer.
- Place your air fryer on a level, heat-resistant surface and plug the power cord into a wall outlet. All the icons light up for a second, then turn off. The (power) icon stays red.
- Pull the pan out of your air fryer, place your food in the basket, then replace the pan.
- Press (power) to turn on your air fryer.
- After preheating, press (mode) repeatedly to select the preset food item that you want to cook. You can select French fries, pastries, bacon, bread, chicken, steak, fish, or chicken wing. The selected preset food blinks.
- Press (start/pause) or wait 10 seconds. Your air fryer starts, the timer counts down, and the cooking indicator flashes.
- If you’re cooking a large amount of food, remove the pan and shake its contents halfway through the cook time. Your air fryer and timer automatically continue after you replace the pan.
- When the cook time is finished, the air fryer lets heat dissipate for 20 seconds, then beeps to alert you that the cycle is done. Pull the pan out of your air fryer and place it on a heat-resistant surface.
- Make sure that your food is done. If it’s not finished, slide the pan back into your air fryer, then start it again.
- When finished, empty the basket into a bowl or onto a plate.
Preset food temperatures and times
This table shows the default temperature and time settings for items on the preset menu. You can use the set temperature and set timer buttons (+ and –) to change the preset temperature and time, as needed. Press P (Preheat) before selecting a food preset.
