HELPFUL TIPS

  • Suggested cooking times and temperatures will vary depending on the quantity of ingredients used. The cooking pan has a nonstick coating, so it is not necessary to add additional oil to every dish. Keep in mind that it is best practice to season foods after they have been cooked to avoid scorching your dish.
  • Use the table on the next page to help select the best settings for the ingredients you’re preparing. Please not that this is only a guide; you will need to ensure your food is properly cooked before serving.
  • Save time and energy by toasting bagels, croissants, bread slices, French rolls and more. Set the temperature to 212°F and toast until desired darkness is achieved.
  • The air fryer should be operated on a separate electrical circuit from other operating appliances. If the electric circuit is overloaded with other appliances, this appliance may not operate properly.
  • There is a clear plastic film on the control panel. Please remove and discard before using.
  • When ready to cook connect the Power Cord to a grounded wall 120V AC outlet.
    • Turn on the power switch on the back of the Air Fryer. Press Time and + or – buttons for desired cook time. Press TEMP and + or – buttons to set desired cooking temperature. Press the START/STOP button to begin cooking.
    • The default setting operates both the top halogen-heating element with fan and the bottom-heating element. If desired, press the BOTTOM HEATER BUTTON to operate ONLY the bottom-heating element, the indicator light will be illuminated. (See image below).
  • During cooking, you may see the halogen light cycle on and off and hear clicking from the Air Fryer. This is a normal function of temperature control.
  • Cooking will pause when you open the lid to stir, then resume when you close the lid.

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 Cooking Pan (7). When the air fryer heats up, the pan heats up the oil and produces white smoke. This does not adversely affect the air fryer or your cooking process.
The pan has built-up oil residue from previous uses.White smoke is caused by oil leftover in the Cooking Pan (7). Make sure to thoroughly clean the Cooking Pan (7) 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 firm 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 fresh potato strips.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.
