How to translate Xiaomi aerogrill into Russian: all ways 2026

Xiaomi aerogrils have gained popularity due to the combination of affordable prices and advanced features, but many users face one problem: the device defaults in Chinese or English, especially for models bought on AliExpress or other foreign platforms. In this article, we will discuss all the working ways to change the language to Russian, from standard settings to flashing the device.

It's important to understand that the process depends on the specific model of aerogrill. For example, the Mi Smart Air Fryer 3.5L and Mi Air Fryer Pro 5.5L have different versions of the firmware, and some budget models do not support Russification at the software level at all. We will look at universal methods, as well as nuances for specific devices.

1. Check the current version of firmware and model of aerogrill

Before you try to change the language, you need to determine exactly the model of your aerogrill and the version of the installed software, which information will be required to choose the correct method of Russification.

To find out the model and version of the software:

• 🔍 Look at the sticker on the bottom of the device - there is an exact model (for example, MJSCF01QJ or MJSCF02QB).
• 📱 Open the Mi Home app (if the aerogrill is connected to it), go to the device settings → About the device.
• 🖥️ On some models, the firmware version can be seen in the aerogrill menu: hold the Menu button for 5 seconds.

If your model starts with MJSCF, it is the Mi Smart Air Fryer (usually Russification-enabled), and models with the MJA prefix (e.g., MJA01ZM) may not have Russian localization in official firmware.

Method 1: Change language through the aerogrill menu (for supported models)

The easiest method is to find the language change option directly in the device interface, which unfortunately doesn't work on all models, but it's worth a try.

Instructions for Mi Smart Air Fryer 3.5L/5.5L (firmware 2022 and newer):

1. Press and hold the Menu (or Settings) button for 3-5 seconds until the extended menu appears.
2. Use the +/- buttons to navigate points. Find an icon with a picture of the globe or a language.
3. Choose Russian (or Russian) and confirm the choice with a long press on Menu.

If there is no Language option in the menu, then your model does not support language change through the interface, in which case move on to the following ways.

💡

On some models, the option to change the language appears only after connecting to the Mi Home application and updating the firmware through it.

3. Method 2: Russification through the Mi Home app

The official Mi Home app (or Xiaomi Home for newer versions) allows you to manage the aerogrill and sometimes update its firmware. In some cases, Russian localization appears after updating the software through the application.

Step-by-step:

1. Install the Mi Home app from Google Play or the App Store.
2. Connect the aerogrill to the app: 🔌 Turn the aerogrill into the socket and activate the pairing mode (usually a long press on the power button). 📱 In the app, click + → Add the device → Kitchen. → airgrill. 🔗 Follow the on-screen instructions for Wi-Fi connectivity (use the 2.4GHz access point!).

Once connected, go to the device settings in the app and check for firmware updates. If the update is available, install it.

Reboot the aerogrill (turn it off for 10 seconds) and check the language in the menu.

Important: some firmware for the Chinese market blocks the region change in the application. If the aerogrill is defined as "China" when connecting and does not allow you to change the region, use the manual firmware method (section 5).

Method 3: Use of alternative firmware (for advanced users)

If the official methods have not worked, you can try installing custom firmware with Russian localization, which is suitable for Mi Smart Air Fryer models based on the ESP32 chip or Realtek RTL8710.

What will be required:

• 💻 Computer with Windows or Linux.
• 🔌 USB-Firmware cable (usually USB-to-TTL adapter).
• 📁 Firmware with Russian localization (see forums) 4PDA Xiaomi Community on the model of your aerogrill).
• 🛠️ Firmware: Flash Download Tools (for the first time) ESP32) Or the Realtek Flash Tool.

General algorithm (details depend on the model!):

1. Unpack the archive with firmware and find a file with the.bin extension.
2. Connect the USB-to-TTL adapter to the air grill board (usually the connector is under the cover on the back panel).
3. Start the firmware program, select the desired.bin file and specify the download address (usually 0x00000).
4. Start the firmware process and wait until it is completed (don’t turn off the cable!).

⚠️ Warning: Incorrect firmware or interrupted process can "brick" the device. If you are not sure of your skills, contact the specialists.

5. Method 4: Russification through factory reset

Sometimes, resetting the device to factory settings helps unlock hidden options, including changing the language, which works if the air grill originally supported Russian but was dropped into English/Chinese.

How to perform the reset:

1. Turn off the aerogrill from the socket.
2. Press and hold the Menu button (or Power if the other button is one).
3. Without releasing the button, connect the device to the power.
4. Hold the button for another 10-15 seconds until the Reset or Factory display appears.
5. Release the button and wait for the reboot.

After reset, check the menu for the Language option. If it is not available, try connecting to the air grill via Mi Home and updating the firmware (see Method 2).

💡

Resetting to the factory settings doesn't add new languages, it just restores the original ones. If Russian wasn't there in the first place, it won't help.
