Daily Cooking Instructions

1. Prepare Food: Pat food dry for crispier results. Lightly coat with oil if desired, using a spray bottle for even distribution.
2. Place Food in Basket: Do not overfill. For even cooking, food should be in a single layer. Do not exceed the maximum fill line.
3. Insert Basket: Slide the filled basket into the main housing until it clicks into place.
4. Set Temperature and Time:
   • Turn the Temperature Knob to the desired setting (e.g., 380°F for fries, 400°F for chicken).
   • Turn the Timer Knob to the desired cooking duration.
   The power light will turn on, and cooking will begin immediately.
5. Monitor Cooking: You can check the food through the viewing window. For some foods (like fries), shaking the basket halfway through cooking can improve results.
6. To Shake Food: Carefully pull the basket out by its handle. Shake the basket, then slide it back in. The appliance will continue cooking.
7. When Finished: The timer will sound and the heating will stop. The power light will turn off.
8. Remove Food: Use oven mitts to pull the basket out by its handle. Place the basket on a heat-resistant surface.
9. Check that food is cooked thoroughly. If needed, you can reset the timer for additional cooking.
10. Empty the basket. Be careful as the basket and food will be very hot.

Cooking Tips

• Preheating is not strictly necessary but can lead to crispier results for some foods. To preheat, run the empty air fryer at the desired temperature for 3 minutes.
• A small amount of oil (1-2 teaspoons) can enhance browning and crispiness.
• Do not use aerosol cooking sprays directly on the non-stick basket, as they can damage the coating. Use an oil mister or brush instead.
• Refer to the included WETIE Recipe Book for specific time and temperature suggestions.

Example Capacities: The 7-quart basket can cook approximately 6 lbs of whole chicken, 10 chicken wings, 6 servings of french fries, or an 8-inch pizza.
