SAFEGUARDS

User Manual

DO NOT allow children or persons with reduced physical, sensory

or mental capabilities to operate this appliance. Close supervision is

necessary when any appliance is used near children and individuals

with reduced capabilities. Children should not play with this appliance.

DO NOT use the appliance for anything other than household use.

It is not intended for commercial use.

DO NOT leave the appliance unattended while in use.

DO NOT use the appliance for more than 60 minutes in a 2-hour period.

Air Frying Cautions

When the air fryer is in operation, hot air is released through the

air vents. Keep your hands and face at a safe distance from the air

vents and take extreme caution when removing hot accessories

from the appliance. Failure to do so may result in personal injury

or property damage.

While cooking, the internal temperature of the appliance reaches

several hundred degrees. To avoid personal injury, never place

unprotected hands inside the appliance until it has cooled to

room temperature.

DO NOT use a ceramic-coated or stoneware pot (such as CorningWare®

stoneware) for air frying.

DO NOT block the vents on the air fryer. Leave at least 5 in / 13 cm

of space around the air fryer when in use.

DO NOT place the appliance on a hot stove.

such as tablecloths and curtains.

DO NOT cover the air vents while the air fryer is in operation.

Doing so will prevent even cooking and may cause damage to

the appliance.

User Manual

DO NOT overfill the air fryer. Overfilling may cause food to contact

the heating element, which may result in personal injury, fire, and/or

property damage.

DO NOT pour oil into the cooking container. If needed, spray food

lightly with non-stick cooking spray. Using cooking oil could result

in personal injury and/or property damage.

opening the door/basket, then clean thoroughly. For further

information refer to ‘Troubleshooting’ in this User Manual.

or other hot liquids.

DO use extreme caution when removing the tray or disposing of

hot grease.

convection or conventional oven, or on a ceramic cooktop, electric

coil, gas range or outdoor grill.
