What should I do before using my PowerXL Air Fryer for the first time?
Before initial operation, read all documentation and warning labels, remove all packaging materials and stickers (except the identification label), wash all removable parts with warm water, and wipe the inside and outside of the appliance with a clean, damp cloth. Never wash or immerse the appliance itself in water.
Can I pour oil into the revolving basket or cooking receptacles?
