OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
BEFORE FIRST USE
1. Remove all packaging materials. Check to ensure that all parts and accessories are
accounted for.
2. Read and remove any stickers on the air fryer except for the rating label, which
should remain on the unit.
3. Wipe down the interior and exterior with a damp cloth. Wash the accessories with
warm, soapy water; rinse and dry thoroughly.
4. Place the unit on a flat, heat-resistant surface positioned at least 2 inches away
from the wall or any other objects. CAUTION: Never place the unit on a stovetop,
even if the stove is o, as that creates a fire risk.
HOW TO COOK IN THE AIR FRYER
The air fryer requires no preheating and cooks faster than a traditional oven, which means
you can enjoy your favorite hot foods in mere minutes. NOTE: On first use, the unit may emit a
slight odor, which is normal and will dissipate with use.
1. Place the unit on a hard, flat surface away from all sources of heat and plug it in.
2. Place the food on the rack(s), baking pan, or rotisserie spit (see p. 13). If not using
the pan, position it on the floor of the unit as a drip tray for easy cleanup.
3. Slide the food into the air fryer and close the door.
4. Press the cook function button of your choice (Air Fry, Bake, or Dehydrate).
The button will turn blue and the available presets for that function will illuminate
on the display.
5. To use the presets, press the appropriate icon for the food you’re cooking. The
button will turn blue, and the programmed temperature and time will appear on
the display. NOTE: Changing the temperature or time once a preset is selected will
cancel the preset.
12
6. If not using the presets, set the desired temperature and time by pressing the top
and
bottom sets of + and – buttons on the display.
7. If cooking with the rotisserie spit (see p. 13), make sure the ROTATE button is
selected (it should be lit blue). Otherwise, make sure it is deselected (it should be
lit white). The rotate function may be turned o or on at any time during cooking
by pressing the button. NOTE: The ROTATE button is not available for Dehydrate.
8. Press the START/STOP button to begin cooking and the timer will start counting
down.
9. If you’d like to check on foods during cooking, press the oven light button on the
display and look through the window on the door. You can also open the door to
check; the cooking timer will pause when the door is opened and resume when the
door is closed. To stop cooking before the timer ends, press START/STOP.
10. If using the Air Fry cook function, the FLIP indicator light will turn on midway
through the cooking cycle as a reminder to flip food. Open the oven door, carefully
flip food with tongs if needed, and close the door to resume. If your food does not
need to be flipped, simply ignore the alert and it will turn o after 60 seconds.
11. Cook until the timer ends. The word READY will appear on the display and cooking
will stop.
12. Using oven mitts, carefully remove the rack(s) and pan. If using the spit, use the
fetch tool in one hand and an oven mitt in the other to remove (see p. 14 for more
detailed directions).
13. Check food for doneness and serve. NOTE: If not powered o, the unit will
automatically go into Sleep Mode after 20 minutes of no activity. To wake the unit
up, open the door or press START/STOP.

HOW TO USE THE ROTISSERIE SPIT (Max: 4 lb)
Using the spit with the rotate feature is perfect for roasting a whole chicken to even, crisp
perfection and for slowly cooking whole, boneless pieces of meat, such as beef or pork
tenderloins. You can also experiment with roasting a small cauliflower head or a peeled
pineapple. NOTE: The rotate function is not available for Dehydrate.
1. Place the baking pan on the floor of the unit.
2. If using the spit to cook a whole chicken, be sure the giblets are removed. Season
the chicken as desired and truss tightly. (Be sure the chicken will fit in the oven
with room to rotate; a 3- to 3½-lb chicken works well.) Run the spit through the
bird lengthwise, starting at the cavity in the back. Carefully slide the spit forks onto
each end of the shaft, sinking them deep into the breast meat at one end and the
thigh meat at the other end. Lock the forks in place with screws, leaving at least
1 inch of free space on both ends of the rod. The chicken should be secure and
should not be able to slide around on the spit.
3. Alternatively, if using the spit to cook a piece of meat, carefully push the spit
lengthwise through the center of the meat. Carefully slide the spit forks onto each
end of the shaft, inserting the prongs deeply into the meat. Lock the forks in place
with screws, leaving at least 1 inch of free space on both ends of the rod. The meat
should be secure and should not be able to slide around on the spit.
4. Guide the spit into the rotisserie rack position by placing the left shaft into the
rotisserie gear located on the left interior wall. Once in place, lift the right shaft and
lay it on the rotisserie holder located on the right interior wall. Be sure the meat or
chicken can rotate freely in the air fryer.
5. Close the door and proceed with cooking, following the directions on p. 11,
beginning with Step 4 and choosing the Air Fry or Bake cook function.
CAUTION: The spit will get hot during cooking. Use the fetch tool and oven mitts
and handle with care to avoid injury (see p. 14 for more detailed directions on the
fetch tool).
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
14
HOW TO USE THE FETCH TOOL
The fetch tool is handy for removing the hot spit from the air fryer.
1. Hold the fetch tool by its handle with one hand. Have a potholder in or an oven mitt on
the other hand.
2. Guide the fetch tool into the unit, positioning the prongs below the shafts of the
rotisserie spit.
3. Use the tool to lift the right side of the spit from the rotisserie holder. Once it’s free, lift
the left side.
4. Carefully guide the hot spit and food from the air fryer and transfer to a heat-resistant
surface.

15
SPECIAL FUNCTIONS
ROTATE
The ROTATE button is automatically selected for certain presets but should be used when
cooking with the rotisserie spit. When selected, it will continuously rotate food 360˚
for perfect, even cooking. If not using the spit, make sure the button is deselected. The
ROTATE button is not available for Dehydrate.
HI-FRY
The HI-FRY button becomes available (illuminates) partway through a cooking cycle.
When pressed, it will temporarily raise the temperature to 450˚F (235˚C) for 2 minutes
to give foods a little additional browning. This button is not available for Dehydrate.
+2 MIN
The +2 MIN button becomes available (illuminates) toward the end of cooking. Pressing
it will add 2 more minutes at the current temperature, and it can be pressed repeatedly
to add additional time. You can press the +2 MIN button as the end of the cooking cycle
nears, or immediately after cooking ends. This button is not available for Dehydrate.

AIR FRYING TIPS
• For a crisp exterior, oil foods lightly.
Some foods, especially if fresh, benefit from being
tossed with a little oil in a separate bowl before frying. However, high-fat foods, like a
well-marbled steak, or prepared foods usually require no additional oil.
• Avoid wet batters.
Loose batters, such as those used for deep frying, do not work in air
fryers, as the batter simply slides o. Adapt such recipes to give foods a thicker coating,
preferably including breadcrumbs to help the coating adhere.
• Use medium-high to high heat for most cooking.
Most foods air fry best between
350°F (175°C) and 400°F (205°C). For gentler cooking and reheating, use a lower
temperature to avoid overcooking.
• Don’t overcrowd the racks or pan.
Too much food, especially if tightly packed, can
inhibit browning and crisping. A better bet: Air fry food in batches.
• Switch rack positions during cooking for even results.
If using multiple wire racks,
carefully switch rack positions halfway through the cooking cycle to ensure even cooking.
For dehydrating, switch rack positions from top to bottom periodically.
• Check on foods early.
When cooking by time, check foods on the earlier side of the
cooking time; you can always put the food back in to continue cooking.
• Follow food safety guidelines for doneness.
Because food sizes can vary, do not rely
exclusively on recipe timing when cooking food. Check food for doneness against current
safety guidelines before serving.

TROUBLESHOOTING/FAQS
Why is there white smoke coming from my unit?
White smoke can be a sign that there’s too much fat in the fryer. Avoid cooking very fatty
foods, such as sausages, in the air fryer, and be sure that the accessories and interior of
the air fryer are clean before cooking.
Why has my food cooked unevenly?
Two culprits are likely: overcrowding and not switching rack positions. Evenly distribute
foods on the rack(s) and pan. Flipping foods midway through cooking also helps. If using
multiple racks, try switching rack positions at least once during cooking.
Why isn’t my food crisp?
Though you can air fry with no added oil, coating foods very lightly with oil (usually just
½ teaspoon per batch for most recipes) helps guarantee crisp results. Preheating the air
fryer also helps.
18
The air fryer is easy to clean and should be cleaned frequently. Follow the directions below.
1. Unplug the unit and let the unit cool completely before cleaning.
2. Wipe down the exterior and interior of the unit with a clean, damp cloth and dry
thoroughly. Do not put the unit in the dishwasher or submerge it in water or any
other liquid.
3. Using a sponge, soft cloth, or nylon pad, wash the glass on the door with dish soap and
warm water, and dry thoroughly. Do not use a spray glass cleaner. The door can also be
removed from its hinges for easier cleaning. To remove, open the door, slide it to the right,
and it will detatch from the unit. To replace, make sure the door is in the open position,
then line up the hinges and slide the door to the left.
4. Wash all accessories with warm, soapy water; rinse, and dry. All accessories are top-rack
dishwasher safe.
5. Do not use abrasive cleansers, which can damage the finishes.
