How to use

Place the unit on a stable, heat-resistant surface and plug it into a suitable outlet. Prepare ingredients and arrange them in a single layer inside the cooking basket for optimal airflow. Use the touch panel to select the desired temperature and cooking time, then start the cycle. For even browning, pause halfway and shake or turn food if the recipe requires. After cooking, switch the appliance off, allow it to cool slightly, then remove the basket and empty any juices or crumbs. Follow the user manual for disassembly and cleaning instructions, ensuring the appliance is unplugged and cooled before cleaning.

Usage recommendations

For best results, preheat the fryer briefly before adding food, avoid overcrowding the basket to ensure proper air circulation, and use light oil sprays when required to achieve crisp texture. Consult appliance-specific recipes and timing guides for different food types to get consistent outcomes while minimizing oil use.
