Sliding Button Guard & Basket Release Button
The Sliding Button Guard helps to ensure you do not press the Basket Release Button by accident. Pressing the Basket Release Button causes the Outer Basket to separate from the Fry Basket and may result in injury if not done on a level, heat-resistant surface.
Do not move Sliding Button Guard forward until Fry Basket and Outer Basket are resting on a level, heat-resistant surface.
CAUTION: Discontinue use if Sliding Button Guard ever becomes detached from Unit.
Using The Digital Control Panel
Button 1 - Power Button
Once the Outer Basket and Fry Basket are properly placed in the Main Unit Housing, the Power Button will be illuminated. Selecting the Power Button one time will set the Unit to a default temperature of 370° F, and the cooking time will be set to 15 minutes. Selecting the Power Button a second time will start the cooking process. Pressing the Power Button during the cooking cycle will turn the Unit off. The Red Heat Light will turn off and the Blue Fan Icon will continue to spin for 20 seconds.

Cooking with the Power AirFryer XLTM Without Presets
Once you are familiar with the Power AirFryer XLTM you may want to experiment with your own recipes. You do not need to select a Preset function. Simply choose the Time and Temperature that suits your personal taste.
Preheating the Power AirFryer XLTM
You may preheat the Unit for more efficient cooking simply by selecting a cook time of 2 or 3 minutes and cook at the default or higher temperature. For preheating, you will need to insert the empty Fry Basket and Outer Basket (assembled) into the Main Unit Housing.
WARNING: Never fill the Outer Basket with cooking oil or any other liquid! Fire hazard or personal injury could result.
General Operating Instructions
Before using the Power AirFryer XLTM for the first time...
Remove all packing materials, labels, and stickers. Wash the Outer and Fry Baskets with warm, soapy water. The Outer and Fry Baskets are also dishwasher safe. Wipe the inside and outside of the cooking Unit with a clean, moist cloth. Never wash or submerge the cooking Unit in water. Never fill the Outer Basket with oil... this Unit cooks with hot air only
Preparing for Use:
- Place the appliance on a stable, level, horizontal, and heat-resistant surface.
- Place the Fry Basket in the Outer Basket properly.
- Slide the Fry Basket into the cooking Unit until it “clicks” into place.
Note: The Unit will not work unless the Fry Basket is inserted properly.
- Plug the power cord into the 120V, dedicated outlet.
NEVER:
- Put anything on top of the appliance.
- Cover the Air Intake Vent or Air Outlet Vent on the top and back of the cooking Unit.
A Versatile Appliance
The Power AirFryer XLTM is designed to cook a wide variety of your favorite foods. The charts and tables provided within this manual and the Recipe Guide will help you get great results. Please refer to this information for proper time/temperature settings and proper food quantities.
Time to Fry “Hot Air” Style...
When removing the Outer Basket, you may feel slight resistance. Place your hand on top of the Unit and pull gently on the Outer Basket.
CAUTION: IF THE SLIDING BUTTON GUARD MOVES FORWARD WHEN REMOVING OUTER BASKET, BE CAREFUL NOT TO PRESS THE BASKET RELEASE BUTTON. OUTER BASKET WILL SEPARATE FROM THE FRY BASKET AND MAY CAUSE INJURY.
WARNING:
Wear an oven mitt on the hand you use to hold the Unit in place. Place the ingredients in the Fry Basket (fig. A).
Note: Never fill the Fry Basket above the recommended amount as this could affect the quality of the end result or interfere with the electric heating coils.
Slide the Fry Basket back into the Unit until it “clicks” in place (fig. B). Never use the Outer Basket without the Fry Basket.
Caution: During the cooking process, the Outer Basket will become very hot. When you remove it to check on the progress, make sure you have a heat-resistant surface nearby to set it down on.
- When the Fry Basket and food is securely in place, press the Power Button once (page 5 fig.1).
- Select a Preset function using the M Button (page 5 fig. 6) or manually set the Temperature and then the Time (page 5 figs. 2,3,4,5).
- Press the Power Button (page 5 fig. 1) once and the Power Air Fryer XLTM will cycle through the cooking process.
Note: You may remove the Fry Basket at any time during the process to check the progress. If you wish to preheat the Unit, see instructions on page 6.
Because Rapid Hot Air Technology instantly reheats the air inside the appliance, pulling the Outer Basket briefly out of the appliance during hot air frying barely disturbs the process.
Consult the charts in this manual or the Recipe Guide to determine the correct settings.
Shaking...
To insure even cooking, some foods require “shaking” during the cooking process. To do this, simply remove the Outer Basket and Fry Basket from the Unit... gently shake the contents as needed and place back in Unit to continue cooking. For heavier foods, you might want to separate the Fry Basket from the Outer Basket before shaking. To do this, place the assembled Outer Basket and Fry Basket on a heat-resistant surface. Move Sliding Button Guard forward to expose Basket Release Button. Press the Basket Release Button (top photo) and gently lift the Fry Basket. Shake ingredients. Place the Fry Basket in the Outer Basket and return it to the Unit to finish cooking.
Caution: The Outer Basket will be hot... wear an oven mitt during this procedure. Never move the Sliding Button Guard while shaking or you may press the Basket Release Button accidentally.
Tip: Set the Timer to 1/2 the time needed for the recipe. The Timer bell will alert you when it’s time to “shake.”
When you hear the Timer bell, the Preset preparation time has elapsed. Pull the Outer Basket out of the appliance and place it on a heat-resistant surface.
To remove ingredients (i.e., fries), place the Outer Basket on a heat-resistant surface. Move Sliding Button Guard forward. Press the Basket Release Button (top photo) and lift the Fry Basket out of the Outer Basket. Turn the Fry Basket over and let the ingredients fall on a plate. Use nonabrasive utensils to remove larger foods.
Do not turn the Fry Basket upside down with the Outer Basket still attached... excess oil that has collected on the bottom of the Outer Basket will leak onto the food. When a quantity of food is cooked, the Unit is instantly ready for preparing another batch. When the cooking cycle is over, you may begin use again immediately.
Settings
- The table on the right will help you select the correct temperature and time for best results. As you become more familiar with the Power AirFryer XLTM cooking process, you may adjust these settings to suit your own personal tastes.
- Because the Rapid Hot Air Technology instantly reheats the air inside the appliance, pulling the Fry Basket briefly out of the appliance during hot air frying barely disturbs the process.
Tips
- Foods that are smaller in size usually require a slightly shorter cooking time than larger ones.
- Large quantities of food only require a slightly longer cooking time than smaller quantities.
- " Shaking” smaller-sized foods halfway through the cooking process assures that all the pieces are fried evenly.
- Adding a bit of vegetable oil to fresh potatoes is suggested for a crispier result. When adding a little oil, do so just before cooking.
- Snacks normally cooked in an oven can also be cooked in the Power AirFryer XLTM.
- Use pre-made dough to prepare filled snacks quickly and easily. Pre-made dough also requires a shorter cooking time than homemade dough.
- Place a baking tin or oven dish in the Fry Basket when baking a cake or quiche. A tin or dish is also suggested when cooking fragile or stuffed foods.
- You can use the Power AirFryer XLTM to reheat foods. Simply set the temperature to 300°F for up to 10 minutes.
The table above will help you choose the basic settings for the ingredients selected
*Add 3 minutes to cooking time when starting with a cold appliance.
Note: Keep in mind that these settings are indications. As ingredients differ in origin, size, shape and brand, we cannot guarantee the best settings for your ingredients.
