Important Notes

While many users report excellent crispiness and even cooking, some have noted a faint odor during initial use or when cooking certain ingredients like fish or heavily spiced meats. This is not uncommon with new appliances and tends to diminish after several uses. Always refer to the included instructions for first-time setup, seasoning, and recommended cleaning practices to maintain optimal performance.

The package includes the main fryer unit, cooking basket, and removable drawer—no extra accessories are listed in the product details. For best results, avoid overcrowding the basket to ensure proper air circulation, and always allow the appliance to cool fully before handling or cleaning.
