Cooking Tips
The high air m_)vement of this dox_i_drafl
system can increase tile cooking times tot
some fi)ods. It may take longer to reach
high cooking temperatures if the (h_wndrafi
is turned to high right away. A(!just the tim
speed tor best cooking resuhs.
For best resuhs when heating oil fi_r deep
fl)qng or when boiling water, use the fiont
smtace uniLs or wait until the water is
boiling or the oil is at flying temperatures
befi)re turning on the (h)wnchafi.
Thedowndralt may not completelycapture aft the

When canning toods in a pressure canner,
the pressure nmst be re>tint>fined

Use of the blower at HIGHspeed when
canning may reduce the temperature
enough to stop boiling. While canning,
we recommend using the downdmfi at
