Important Fryer Guidelines
• Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.
• To ensure proper cooking and air circulation, do not fill the basket more than ¾ full.
Overfilling could prevent the basket assembly from sliding into the air fryer or result in
food being sheared off.
• This air fryer is not suitable for preparing food with a high-liquid content, such as soups
and sauces, and should not be used to boil water.
• The timer will continue to count down, the motor will continue to run, and the element
will continue to heat when the basket assembly is removed.

electric air fryer for the first time, become familiar with
the various parts of the air fryer (Fig. A) and read the instructions carefully. Remove all pack-
aging from the air fryer. Wash the air fryer according to the “Care and Cleaning” instructions
on page 8.
Never immerse the air fryer or plug in water or other liquid.
To remove the basket assembly from the air fryer, grasp the handle and pull the assembly
towards you. Be sure not to press the release button on the top of the handle. To separate
the basket from the pan, grasp the handle, press the basket release button, and lift the basket
straight up and out of the pan (Fig. C).
To reinsert the basket, grasp the handle. Line up the tabs on the sides of the semi-circular
portion of the handle with the grooves in the semi-circular cut-out on the front of the pan.
Lower the basket until it clicks in place (Fig. D).

Once the air fryer is plugged in, there will be an audible signal and the display (Fig. B) will
light up briefly. The unit will then go into standby mode and the power button will illuminate.
The buttons on the air fryer are designed to be touch sensitive. Very little pressure is required
to press them. A light touch is recommended.
Touch the power button and the default time (15 minutes) and temperature (350°) will be
displayed. You can use this setting and the unit will automatically turn on in 4 to 5 seconds,
or you can select one of the presets by touching the food icon on the display. The preset time
and temperature for that food will appear in the display and the unit will automatically turn
on in 4 to 5 seconds.
You can manually set or adjust the time and temperature at any point, even after the cooking
cycle has started. To manually adjust the time or temperature, touch the arrow buttons. To
rapidly change the time and temperature, hold down the buttons. You can set the time from 1
to 60 minutes and the temperature from 150° to 400°. The unit will automatically use the set
time and temperature after a few seconds.
NOTE:
When 1 minute is remaining in the cook cycle, the time display begins to count down
in seconds.
When the set time has expired, there will be an audible signal and END will appear in the
display. The air fryer will stop heating and go into standby mode.
The air fryer can be turned off at any time by touching the power button.
