When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be
followed:
1 This appliance can be used by persons with reduced physical, sensory or
mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge if they have been
given supervision or instruction concerning the use of the appliance in a safe
way and understand the hazards involved.
2 Keep the appliance and its cord out of reach of children. DO NOT allow the
appliance to be used by children. Close supervision is necessary when used
near children.
3 Children should not play with the appliance.
4 NEVER use electrical socket below counter.
5 NEVER connect this appliance to an external timer switch or separate

there is damage to the power cord or plug. If the appliance malfunctions or
has been damaged in any way, immediately stop use and call Customer
Service.

reduce the risk of children grabbing the cord or becoming entangled and to
reduce the risk of people tripping over a longer cord.
10 ALWAYS ensure the appliance is properly assembled before use.
11 DO NOT cover the air intake vent or air outlet while unit is operating. Doing so
will prevent even cooking and may damage the unit or cause it to overheat.

Overfilling may cause personal injury or property damage or affect the safe
use of the appliance.
22 DO NOT place items on top of unit at any time.
23 Socket voltages can vary, affecting the performance of your product. To
prevent possible illness, use a thermometer to check that your food is cooked
to the temperatures recommended.
24 Should the unit emit black smoke, unplug immediately. Wait for smoking to
stop before removing any cooking accessories.
25 DO NOT touch hot surfaces. Appliance surfaces are hot during and after
operation. To prevent burns or personal injury, ALWAYS use protective hot
pads or insulated oven mitts and use available handles.
26 Extreme caution must be used when the appliance contains hot food.
Improper use may result in personal injury.
27 This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To
reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug is intended to fit into a polarized
outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the
plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. DO NOT attempt to
modify the plug in any way.
28 Spilled food can cause serious burns. Keep appliance and cord away from
children. DO NOT let cord hang over edges of tables or counters or touch hot
surfaces.

process. Avoid physical contact while removing the basket or plate from the
appliance. ALWAYS place basket or plate on a heat-resistant surface after
removing. DO NOT touch accessories during or immediately after cooking.

Using your air fryer
Cooking tips
• For consistent browning, make sure that ingredients are arranged in an even
layer on the bottom of the basket with no overlapping. If ingredients are
overlapping, shake them halfway through cooking.

Check food frequently to avoid overcooking.
• Occasionally, the fan from your air fryer may blow lightweight foods around.
Use wooden toothpicks to secure loose, lightweight food, like the top slice of
bread on a sandwich.

• For stubborn stains, let the mixture sit on the affected area for several minutes
before scrubbing clean.

with a damp cloth as needed. Make sure that the heating coil is completely dry
before the next use.

• Do not immerse your air fryer in water.
• Do not rinse your air fryer under a tap.
• Do not wet prongs of the power cord.

PROBLEM SOLUTION
How do I adjust the
temperature or time while
using one zone?
Press TEMP +/– to adjust the temperature or
TIME +/– to adjust the time.
How do I adjust the
temperature or time while
using both zones?
Press for the left side (zone 1) or for the right
side (zone 2), then press TEMP +/– to adjust the
temperature or TIME +/– to adjust the time.
Can I cook different foods in
each zone without
worrying about cross
contamination?
Yes, both zones are self-contained with separate
heating elements and fans.
How do I pause or stop one
zone when using both
zones?
Press for the left side (zone 1) or for the right
side (zone 2), then press (start/pause).
Are the baskets safe to put
on my countertop?
The baskets heat up during cooking. Use caution
when handling, and place them on heat-safe
surfaces only. DO NOT place the baskets on the top
of your air fryer.
When should I use a crisper
plate?
Use a crisper plate when you want food to come out
crispy. The plate elevates the food in the basket so
that air can flow under and around it to cook
ingredients evenly.

Specifications
Why didn’t my food cook
fully?
Make sure that the basket is fully inserted during
cooking. For consistent browning, make sure that
ingredients are arranged in an even layer on the
bottom of the basket with no overlapping. Shake
the basket to toss ingredients for even crispiness.
Cook temperature and time can be adjusted at any
time during cooking by pressing TEMP +/– to adjust
the temperature or TIME +/– to adjust the time.
Why is my food burned? For best results, check progress throughout cooking
and remove food when it reaches the level of
brownness you want. Remove food immediately
after the cook time is complete to avoid
overcooking.
Why do some ingredients
blow around when air
frying?
Occasionally, the fan from the air fryer can blow
lightweight foods around. Use wooden toothpicks
to secure loose, lightweight food, like the top slice of
bread on a sandwich.
Can I air fry wet, battered
ingredients?
Yes, but use the correct breading technique. Batter
foods with flour, then with egg. Press bread firmly
onto the battered food so crumbs won’t be blown of
by the fan.
Why did the display screen
go black?
Your air fryer is in standby mode. Press (power) to
turn it back on.
