This article will help you understand how to fully Russify the aerogrill - from changing the language in the mobile application to firmware of the device, if necessary.

It's important to understand that the setup process depends on your aerogrill model. For example, Mi Smart Air Fryer 3.5L and Mi Air Fryer Pro have different versions of firmware and control methods.
