CLEANING & MAINTENANCE
The Air Fryer Oven should be cleaned thoroughly after every use.
1. Make sure the Power Cord is disconnected from the electrical outlet and that
the appliance has cooled down before attempting to clean.
2. Do not use abrasive cleaners, as they will damage the nish. Simply wipe the
exterior with a clean, damp cloth and dry thoroughly. Apply the cleansing
agent to a cloth, not directly onto the oven, before cleaning.
3. To clean interior walls, use a damp cloth and a mild liquid soap solution or a
spray solution on a sponge. Never use harsh abrasives or corrosive products.
These could
damage the oven surface. Never use steel wool pads, etc., on interior of oven.
4. Oven Rack, Baking Pan, Air Fryer Basket and Crumb Tray should be hand-
washed in hot, sudsy water or use a nylon scouring pad or nylon brush. They
are NOT dishwasher safe.
5. After cooking greasy foods and after your oven has cooled, always clean top
interior of oven. If this is done on a regular basis, your oven will perform like
new. Removing the grease will help to keep toasting consistent, cycle after
cycle.
6. To remove crumbs, slide out the Crumb Tray and discard crumbs. Wipe clean
and replace. To remove baked-on grease, soak the tray in hot, sudsy water or
use nonabrasive cleaners. Never operate the oven without the Crumb Tray in
place.
7. Any other servicing should be performed by an authorized service
representative.

HINTS & TIPS
• Smaller cuts of food usually require a slightly shorter
cooking time than larger foods.
• A larger amount of food only requires a slightly longer
cooking time and a smaller amount of food only requires a
slightly shorter cooking time.
• Stirring or shaking smaller foods mid-way through the
cooking process will improve the end result and can help
cook more evenly.
• Adding a small amount of oil to fresh potatoes can result
in a crispier result. Cook your ingredients in the air fryer
within a few minutes after adding the oil.
• Do not air fry extremely greasy foods such as sausages in
the air fryer.
• Snacks that can be prepared in an oven can also be
prepared in the air fryer.
• The air fryer can also reheat foods. To reheat foods, set the
temperature to 300°F for up to 10 minutes.
• To cook frozen foods, add an additional 3-5 minutes to
your cook time.
HOMEMADE FRENCH FRIES:
• The optimum amount for air frying crispy fries is 17.5oz. or
a little over 1 lb.
• When making your own French fries, follow these steps:
1. Peel potatoes and slice them into strips.
2. Wash and dry them thoroughly.
3. Mix potato strips in a bowl with ½ tablespoon of olive
oil, make sure they are evenly coated.
4. Using your hands or tongs, place the potato strips onto
the frying rack.
Do not cook frozen,
raw foods in the air
fryer.

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
PROBLEM POSSIBLE CAUSE SOLUTION
The air fryer does not
work.
The appliance is not
plugged in.
Plug the Power Cord into an electrical
outlet.
The appliance is
defective.
Contact customer service at
shopelitegourmet.com
Food is not completely
cooked/fried.
There is too much food in
the oven.
Use smaller batches of food. Small batches of
food will cook more evenly.
The cooking temperature
is set too low.
Increase the temperature setting. Check
“Cooking Time Chart” found in this manual.
The cooking time is too
short.
Increase the time setting. Check “Cooking Time
Chart” found in this manual.
Food is raw and frozen
solid.
Raw frozen foods should be thawed before
cooking in the air fryer. Exceptions to this are
pre-cooked frozen foods.
Food is unevenly
cooked.
Certain foods need to be
stirred mid-way through
the cooking process.
Foods that overlap inside the Air Fryer Basket
need to be stirred mid-way through cooking.
Fried snacks are not
crispy.
You used a type of snack
meant to be prepared in a
traditional deep fryer.
Use oven snacks or lightly brush some oil onto
the snacks for a crispier result.
I cannot close the
Glass Door properly.
The oven rack, bake pan,
or air fryer basket is not
properly placed inside.
Make sure there is no obstruction for the glass
door to close properly.
White smoke is emitting
out of the appliance
during use.
You are preparing food
with a high oil content.
When cooking with oily foods, oil will drain into
the drip tray. When the air fryer heats up, the
drip tray heats up the oil and produces white
smoke. This does not adversely affect the air
fryer or your cooking process.
The accessories has
built-up oil residue from
previous uses.
White smoke is caused by oil leftover on the
accessories. Make sure to thoroughly clean each
accessories after every use.
Home-made French
fries are coming out
unevenly cooked.
Your potatoes are not
fresh or are frozen.
Make sure to use fresh and rm potatoes, not
frozen potatoes, for home-made French fries.
Potato strips were not
well rinsed prior to frying.
Thoroughly rinse sliced potato to remove all
starch prior to frying.
Home-made French
fries are not crispy after
air frying.
Crispy results are directly
linked to the amount of
oil used and water
content of the potato.
Potato strips need to be thoroughly dried before
adding oil.
Slice potato strips thinner if you want them
crispier.
Use a bit more oil on the potato strips prior to
frying if you want crispier results.

2. Wash and clean the potatoes in cold running water. Using a mandoline, or vegetable
peeler, nely slice the potatoes into chips. Drop the chips into a bowl of ice water as you
