PowerXL Microwave Air Fryer 5
IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
25. Liquids such as water, coffee, or tea can be overheated
beyond the boiling point without appearing to be boiling.
This is called delayed eruptive boiling. Visible bubbling
or boiling when the container is removed from the
microwave appliance is not always present. THIS COULD
RESULT IN VERY HOT LIQUIDS SUDDENLY BOILING
OVER WHEN THE CONTAINER IS DISTURBED OR A
UTENSIL IS INSERTED INTO THE LIQUID.
26. To reduce the risk of injury to persons:
a. Do not use straight-sided containers with narrow
necks. Use a wide-mouth container.
b. Stir liquid both before and halfway through heating it.
c. Do not overheat liquid.
d. Use extreme care when inserting a spoon or other
utensil into a container. This may also cause delayed
eruptive boiling.
e. After heating, allow the container to stand in the
microwave appliance for a short period of time before
removing the container.
f. Be careful when opening containers of hot food.
Use potholders and direct steam away from your face
and hands.
g. Vent, pierce, or slit containers, pouches, or plastic bags
to prevent build-up of pressure.
h. Be careful when touching the turntable, door,
or walls of the appliance, which may become hot
during use.
i. Do not use paper products when the appliance is
operated in the air fryer or oven mode.
27. Cook meat and poultry thoroughly – meat to at least an
internal temperature of 160° F/71° C and poultry to at
least an internal temperature of 180° F/82° C.
28. Make sure all cookware used with the microwave function
in this appliance is suitable for microwaving (see the
“Materials to Avoid in the Appliance” section).
29. Do not store any materials, accessories, or containers
inside the appliance when not in use.
Use of the accessories:

PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE
TO EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY
• Do not attempt to operate this appliance with the

microwave energy. It is important not to break or
tamper with the safety interlocks.
• Do not place any object between the appliance front
face and the door or allow soil or cleaner residue to
accumulate on sealing surfaces.
• Do not operate the appliance if it is damaged. It is
particularly important that the appliance door closes
properly and that there is no damage to the door
(for example, make sure that it is not bent); hinges
and latches (for example, make sure that they are not
broken or loosened); door seals and sealing surface.
• The appliance should not be adjusted or repaired by
anyone except properly qualied service personnel. If
the microwave unit is not kept clean, its surface could
be degraded and lead to a hazardous situation.
6 PowerXL Microwave Air Fryer
• NEVER put anything on top of the appliance.
• NEVER cover the air vents on the top, back,
and side of the cooking appliance.
• ALWAYS use oven mitts when removing anything
hot from the appliance.
• NEVER rest anything on the door while it is open.
• DO NOT leave the door open for an extended period.
• ALWAYS ensure that nothing is protruding from the
appliance before closing the door.
• ALWAYS close the door gently; NEVER slam the door
closed. ALWAYS hold the handle of the door when
opening and closing the door.
WARNING
IMPORTANT
Before initial use, remove and hand wash the cooking
accessories. Then, wipe the outside and inside of the appliance
with a warm, moist cloth and mild detergent. Next, preheat
the appliance by operating the “Air Fry” function for at least
3minutes to allow the manufacturer’s protective coating of oil
to burn off (the smell produced by this step is normal). Allow
the appliance to cool. Finally, wipe the appliance with warm,
soapy water and a dishcloth after this burn-in cycle.
CAUTION: Upon first use, the appliance may smoke or
emit a burning odor due to oils used to coat and preserve the
heating elements.
IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
• A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the
risk of becoming entangled or tripping over a longer cord.
• This appliance has been designed for use with a 3-prong,
120V dedicated electrical outlet only.
• Plug into a 3-prong wall outlet with no other appliances on
the same outlet. Plugging other appliances into the outlet
may cause the circuit to overload.
Electric Power
If the electrical circuit is overloaded with other appliances,
your new appliance may not operate properly. It should be
operated on a dedicated electrical circuit.
Using the Power Cord
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must be grounded. In the event of an electrical
short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by
providing an escape wire for the electric current. This appliance
is equipped with a cord with a grounding wire and grounding
plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly
installed and grounded. Consult a qualied electrician or
serviceman if the grounding instructions are not completely
understood or if doubt exists as to whether the appliance
is properly grounded. If it is necessary to use an extension
cord, use only a 3-wire extension cord that has a 3-pronged
grounding plug and a 3-slot receptacle that will accept the plug
on the appliance.
Longer cord sets or an extension cord should not be used
unless the following precautions are followed:
• The marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension
cord should match the rating of the appliance.
• The extension cord must be a grounding-type 3-wire cord.
• The longer cord should not drape over any surfaces where it
can be pulled on by children or tripped over.

It is not necessary to buy new cookware. Many pieces
already in your kitchen can be used successfully in your
new appliance. The charts below will help you decide
which cookware and coverings should be used with each
feature. Make sure the utensil does not touch the interior
walls during the cooking process.
PowerXL Microwave Air Fryer 17
Containers
CAUTION
PERSONAL INJURY HAZARD
Tightly-closed containers could explode. Closed containers
should be opened and plastic pouches should be pierced
before cooking.
See the instructions in the “Cookware in the Microwave”
and “Materials to Avoid in the Appliance” sections.
There may be certain non-metallic materials that are not
safe to use for microwaving. If in doubt, you can test the
utensil in question by following the instructions in the
“Material/Container Test” section.
Material/Container Test
1. Fill a microwave-safe container with 1 cup (250 ml)
of cold water and the container.
2. Set the appliance to microwave mode and cook
on maximum power for 1 minute. NOTE: Do not
microwave the container for more than 1 minute.
3. Carefully feel the container. If the container is warm,
do not use the container in microwave mode.
4. Do not exceed 1 minute cooking time to not overheat
the container.
Preventing Arcing
Arcing is sparks or electric ashes that crackle or pop.
Arcing can produce heat that is quite intense and can
damage the interior of the microwave or containers being
used in the microwave. It can also cause re.
Arcing occurs when metal containers are used in the
microwave and can also occur with the use of metal
skewers, metal clamps, or twist ties for plastic bags. To
prevent arcing, use the charts to determine which materials
are microwave safe, or follow instructions from container/
wrap manufacturer.
Plastic Cookware
Plastic cookware designed for microwave cooking is
very useful, but should be used carefully. Even
microwave-safe plastic may not be as tolerant of
overcooking conditions as are glass or ceramic materials
and may soften or char if subjected to short periods of
overcooking. In longer exposures to overcooking, the
food and cookware could ignite.
Follow these guidelines:
• Use microwave-safe plastics only and use them in
strict compliance with the cookware manufacturer’s
recommendations.
• Do not microwave empty containers.
• Do not permit children to use plastic cookware
without adult supervision.

Use this chart and a food thermometer
to ensure that meat, poultry, seafood,
and other cooked foods reach a safe
minimum internal temperature.
*For maximum food safety, the
U.S. Department of Agriculture
recommends 165° F/74° C for all
poultry; 160° F/71° C for ground beef,
lamb, and pork; and 145° F/63° C,
with a 3-minute resting period,
for all other types of beef, lamb, and
pork. Also review the USDA Food
Safety Standards.
• Foods that are smaller in size usually require
a slightly shorter cooking time than larger ones.
• Large sizes or quantities of food may require a
longer cooking time than smaller sizes or quantities.
• Flipping or turning food halfway through the
cooking process ensures that the food is
evenly cooked.
• Snacks normally cooked in an oven can also
be cooked in the appliance.
• Use premade dough to prepare filled snacks
quickly and easily. Premade dough also requires
a shorter cooking time than homemade dough.
• Air frying/baking tip: Adding a bit of vegetable oil
to fresh potatoes is suggested for a crispier result.
When adding oil, do so just before cooking and
add only a small amount onto the potatoes.
• Air frying/baking tip: A baking tin or oven dish can
be placed on the Air Fry Rack inside the appliance
when cooking foods such as cakes or quiches.
Using a tin or dish is also recommended when
cooking fragile or filled foods.

1. Does the appliance need time to heat up?
Preheating is needed when you are cooking
from a cold start when using the Bake or Air Fry
cooking function. Add 3 minutes to the cooking
time to compensate when preheating is necessary
(preheating is automatic with the Bake function and
Pizza/Steak presets).
2. Why isn’t my food cooking or heating evenly?
Cooking for too short a period of time, even at
high temperatures, may result in food left unevenly
heated throughout. Try cooking for a longer time at
a lower power or temperature.
3. What happens if the appliance still
does not work after I have tried all the
troubleshooting suggestions?
Never attempt home repair. Contact Customer
Service and follow the procedures set forth by
