SHORT CORD PURPOSE
NOTE: A short power cord is provided to reduce the risk of personal injury resulting from
becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
Longer power-supply cords or extension cords are available and may be used if care is
exercised in their use.
If an extension cord is used: (1) the marked electrical rating of the extension cord should
be at least as great as the electrical rating of the product; (2) the extension cord should
be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can
unintentionally be pulled on or tripped over by children or pets.
POLARIZED PLUG
If this appliance is equipped with a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other),
please follow the below instructions:
To reduce the risk of electrical shock, this plug is intended to fit into a polarized outlet
only one way. If you are unable to fit the plug into the electrical outlet, try reversing the
plug. If the plug still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Never use the plug with
an extension cord unless the plug can be fully inserted into the extension cord. Do not
alter the plug of the product or any extension cord being used with this product. Do not
attempt to defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.

TIP: It is recommended to pre-heat the air fryer on empty for 3 min. if the appliance is
cold.
DURING THE COOKING/FRYING PROCESS:
1. Once you tap START, the Timer will begin counting down and the Heating Indicator
will illuminate red.
NOTE: You will notice that during the hot air frying process, the Heating Indicator will
come on and go out from time to time. This indicates that the heating element is
maintaining the set temperature.
NOTE: Any excess oil from food will collect at the bottom of the Pan (12).
TIP: During cooking, tap the TIME/TEMP button and the INCREASE/DECREASE buttons to

HINTS & TIPS
TIPS
Smaller cuts of foods usually require a slightly shorter cooking time than larger
foods.
A larger amount of foods only requires a slightly longer cooking time and a smaller
amount of foods 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 airfryer.
Snacks that can be prepared in an oven can also be prepared in the air fryer.
The optimum amount for air frying crispy fries is 17.5 ounces or a little over 1 lb.
Use pre-made dough to prepare foods with fillings quickly and easily. Pre-made
dough also requires a shorter cooking time than home-made dough.
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.
Note: When cooking/baking foods that rise (i.e. cakes, quiches or muffins) the Basket
(13) should not be filled more than halfway.
Note: Add 3 minutes to the cooking time if you begin cooking while the air fryer is still
cold.
BAKING CAKES/QUICHES OR STEAMING FOODS
Place an oven-safe dish (not included) into the air fryer Basket (13) if you want to
bake a cake/quiche, steam foods or if you want to air fry delicate foods or foods with
fillings.
If the oven-safe dish is too large for the Basket (13), you can place a wire rack (not
included) onto the bottom of the Pan (12) and place the oven-safe dish onto the
wire rack.
For steaming foods, generally, 1-2 cups of water provides approximately 5-10
minutes of steam time. Add water to the Pan (12). Place wire rack (not included)
into the Pan (12). Place food into an oven-safe dish (not included) and place dish
onto the wire rack.
HOME-MADE FRENCH FRIES
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 into the frying Basket (13).
NOTE: Do not pour the potato sticks from the bowl into the Basket (13) because we don't
want to transfer any excess oil into the Basket (13).

During time/temperature selection
process, if START button is not
pressed within 3 minutes, the unit
will automatically turn off and go
into standby mode.
Do not wait more than 3 minutes after
making your selections to tap START
button.
Food not completely
cooked/fried.
There is too much food in the
basket (13).
Use smaller batches of food in the
basket (13). 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 cooked is uneven.
Certain foods need to be
stirred/mixed mid-way through
the cooking process.
Foods that overlap inside the basket
(13) need to be stirred mid-way
through cooking. Go to section:
'During the Cooking/Frying Process' in
this manual.
Fried snacks are not
crispy.
You used a type of snacks 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 Top
Cover (9) properly.
The basket (13) is too full.
Do not fill the basket (13) above the
MAX level.
The basket (13) is not aligned
correctly.
Make sure the handle bracket (14) is
flush with the pan (12).
The pan (12) is not properly placed
into air fryer.
Make sure pan handles (11) are not
blocking the top cover (9).
White smoke is emitted
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 pan (12). 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 pan (12). Make sure to
thoroughly clean the pan (12) after
every use.
Home-made french fries
are coming out unevenly
cooked.
Your potatos 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 thoroughly
rinsed prior to frying.
Thoroughly rinse sliced potato to
remove all starch prior to frying.
Your home-made french
fries are not crispy after
air frying.
Crispy results are directly linked to
the amount of oil 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.
