using YOUR compact air fryer BEFORE USING YOUR AIR FRYER Remove all packaging materials. Check that the Air Fryer has no visible damage and that no parts are missing. Before using the appliance for the first time or before using it after prolonged storage, wash and dry the appliance and any accompanying accessories. See “Cleaning & Maintenance” for instructions. If you preheat the appliance before use, food will cook faster.
using YOUR compact air fryer 4 Turn the Timer to the correct setting. When you set the Timer, the Air Fryer will automatically turn on. The Heating Light will automatically turn on. The Timer will begin to count down from the set time. The Heating Light will blink during the air frying process. This is normal and indicates that the heating element is controlling the temperature. 5 For even results, some foods require shaking halfway through the preparation time.
tips & tricks • Air frying smaller items or fewer items will require a slightly shorter cooking time than larger items or more items. • Shaking smaller items halfway during the preparation time optimizes the end result and can help prevent unevenly fried foods. • Soak fresh potatoes in water for 30 minutes, then add a small amount of oil for a crispier result. Fry your potatoes in the air fryer within a few minutes of adding the oil.
TEMPERATURE & TIME CHART Please keep in mind that these temperatures and times are merely guidelines. Actual cooking times may vary depending on the size, shape, and amount of food. When air frying a new item always make sure that your food is cooked properly before consumption. According to the USDA, the safe internal temperature for poultry is 165°F and for beef is 160°F.
cleaning & maintenance • Remove the plug from the wall socket and let the appliance cool down completely. • Remove the Crisper Drawer to allow the Air Fryer cool down quicker. • Clean the appliance after every use. • Do not clean the Crisper Drawer, or the inside of the appliance with metal kitchen utensils or abrasive cleaning materials as this may damage the non-stick coating. • Wipe the outside of the appliance with a moist cloth. • The Crisper Drawer and Crisper Tray are dishwasher safe.

TROUBLESHOOTING PROBLEM POSSIBLE CAUSE SOLUTIONS The Air Fryer does not work. The appliance is not plugged in. Plug the mains plug into a grounded wall socket. You have not set the Timer. Turn the Timer Dial to the required preparation time to switch the appliance on. Too much food has been added to the Crisper Drawer. Use less food and cook in batches if necessary. Your food will also cook more evenly. The temperature was set too low.
TROUBLESHOOTING PROBLEM POSSIBLE CAUSE SOLUTION The Crisper Drawer still contains residue from previous use. White smoke is caused by grease heating up in the Crisper Drawer. Make sure you clean the Crisper Drawer properly after each use. Fresh fries are fried unevenly in the Air Fryer. Certain types of food need to be shaken halfway through the preparation time. Items that lie on top of or across each other (e.g. fries) need to be shaken halfway through the preparation time (see section “Settings”).
