An air fryer turns on by positioning the basket correctly and then selecting a function (like a preset program like "chicken" or manually setting the time and temperature) using the appliance's control panel.
The process usually involves these steps:
-
Basket Placement: Ensure the air fryer basket is securely placed back into the unit after adding food. Most air fryers have a safety mechanism that prevents operation if the basket isn't properly inserted.
-
Powering On: If a separate power button exists, press it to turn the unit on.
-
Function Selection: Use the control panel (which may be digital or have knobs/buttons) to choose a cooking preset (e.g., "fries," "chicken," "bake") or manually set the desired cooking time and temperature.
-
Starting the Cooking Cycle: Press the "Start" button (if applicable) to begin the air frying process. Some models start automatically after you've selected the time and temperature.
