Cooking Guidelines & Tips
Tips
• When grilling meats, use the Grill Plate in the raised
position (see “Getting Started” in the “Instructions for
Use” section).
• Flip steaks or filets halfway through the cooking cycle
to cook evenly.
• Foods that are smaller in size usually require a
slightly shorter cooking time than larger foods.
• Large quantities of food require a longer cooking
time than smaller quantities. Be careful not to
overcrowd the Inner Pot.
• When air frying breaded items, lightly spray with
cooking oil to get a crispy, golden-brown crust.
• Snacks normally cooked in an oven, including frozen
snacks, 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.
• You can use the appliance to reheat foods. Simply
set the temperature and time to however warm you
want your food or use the Reheat mode.
• Be careful not to transfer germs from raw meat to
cooked meat. Use separate utensils and platters for
raw and cooked meat.
• When marinating food, always use a tightly covered
nonmetal dish and turn the food occasionally. Be
sure to refrigerate all meats while marinating.
• If leftover wet marinade is to be used as a sauce with
the cooked food, be sure to place it in a small pan
and heat to a rolling boil before serving to eliminate
bacterial growth.
• To prevent scratching the coating, use only
nonmetallic utensils. Do not cut food on the Grill
Plate using sharp utensils, such as forks or knives,
that can scratch the cooking surface.
• Do not use steel wool or other metal pads.
They could leave coarse scratches. Always rinse
thoroughly and dry immediately with a soft towel.
• If food is cooking unevenly, make sure to spread out
the food evenly on the grill plate.
Shaking/Flipping (for Air Frying)
To ensure even cooking, some foods require
shaking/ipping during the cooking process. Gently
shake/flip the contents as needed and place them back
in the appliance to continue cooking.
CAUTION: The appliance and Inner Pot will be hot.
Wear an oven mitt during this procedure:
1. Open the Lid.
2. Flip the food in the Inner Pot.
3. Close the Lid on the appliance and continue cooking.

Cleaning & Storage
Easy Maintenance
• Be sure to let the appliance cool down and unplug it
from the wall outlet before cleaning.
• When cleaning the Inner Pot, allow the Inner Pot
to cool completely before washing. Never
immerse hot cookware in water as this will cause
irreparable warping.
• Cleaning your Inner Pot is quick and easy. After
each use, wash it in hot water with mild soap or
dish detergent. Rinse thoroughly and wipe dry
immediately with a soft dish towel. If any food
particles remain, ll the Inner Pot with hot water and
liquid dish detergent, soak until the water becomes
lukewarm, and use a sponge or soft cloth to remove
any remaining food particles.
• Do not use steel wool or metal pads. They could
leave coarse scratches.
• To keep the appliance clean, wipe away the
enclosure with damp cloth and then dry it with a
clean, dry cloth. Never immerse the main body of the
appliance in water for cleaning!
• To protect against electric shock, DO NOT immerse
the main parts of the appliance, cord, or plug in
water or other liquids.
• Make sure that the device is properly cleaned before
storing it in a dry place.
• DO NOT use any petroleum products, which
will damage the outer appliance housing and the
Control Panel.
• DO NOT use/store any ammable, acid, or alkaline
materials or substances near the device, as this may
reduce the service life of the device and lead to
deagration (re) when the device is turned on.
• DO NOT stack heavy objects on top of the appliance.
Excessive weight could possibly damage the appliance.
PowerXL Grill Air Fryer Home 19
Cleaning & Storage
Dishwasher Safe
Only the Inner Pot and Grill Plate are dishwasher safe.
Although these components are dishwasher safe, we
recommend cleaning by hand. Hand-washing preserves
the life of the cookware and helps to maintain its
appearance. If cleaning in the dishwasher, follow the
suggested guidelines:
• Load the dishwasher carefully. Other dishes and
flatware may mark the surface of your cookware.
• Be sure to remove soil from other dishes and flatware.
It can be abrasive to nonstick coating.
• We recommend using a non-lemon detergent.
• Regular dishwasher cleaning will eventually scratch
any surface.

Replacement Guarantee Policy
Our products, when purchased from an authorized retailer, include a 1-year replacement guarantee
if your product or component part does not perform as expected, the guarantee extends only to the
original purchaser and is not transferable. If you experience an issue with one of our products within
1 year of purchase, return the product or the component part for replacement with a functionally
equivalent new product or part. The original proof of purchase is required, and you are responsible to
pay to return the unit to us. In the event a replacement unit is issued, the guarantee coverage ends six
(6) months following the receipt date of the replacement unit or the remainder of the existing guarantee,
whichever is later. Tristar reserves the right to replace the unit with one of equal or greater value.
Return Policy
If, for any reason, you would like to replace or return the product under the money-back guarantee,
your order number can be used as the return merchandise authorization number (RMA). If the
product was purchased in a retail store, return the product to the store or use “RETAIL” as the RMA.
