OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
BEFORE FIRST USE
Remove all packing materials and stickers from the inside and outside of the Air Fryer.
Gently wipe down exterior with a damp cloth or paper towel. Never immerse the Air
Fryer or its plug in water or any other liquid. It is NOT dishwasher safe.
Use the basket handle to remove the air fryer basket from the Air Fryer. Use the handle in
the center of the tray to remove the tray. Use a sponge and warm, soapy water to wash the
inside and outside of the air fryer basket and tray. Do not use abrasive cleaning agents or
scouring pads. The air fryer basket and the tray are dishwasher safe. Dry thoroughly.
Read all instructions and follow them carefully.
HOW TO USE
1. Prepare the Air Fryer Basket.
Use the Handle in the center of the tray to insert the tray into the Air Fryer Basket. Press
down to ensure it is secure and in a leveled position. There should be a small amount of
space between the Tray and bottom of the Air Fryer Basket.
NOTE: Do not use the Air Fryer Basket without the Tray. The Tray allows for proper air
circulation, which promotes even cooking.
CAUTION: Never fill the Air Fryer Basket with oil. Unlike deep fryers, air fryers require
little to no oil to produce crispy results. If you choose to use oil, toss food with oil in a
separate bowl and then transfer food to the Air Fryer Basket.
TIP: Oil promotes browning and extra-crispy results. Use a couple of teaspoons when
making foods from scratch like French fries or chicken nuggets.
2. Place food on tray.
Refer to the chart on page 8 for recommended minimum and maximum amounts for
many types of food. Never fill the Air Fryer Basket higher than the “Max” line embossed
on the inside of the Air Fryer Basket.
Refer to the chart on page 8 for recommended cooking times, temperatures and tips.

• Almost any food you cook in the oven, can be air fried!
• Avoid cooking very greasy foods that splatter, such as sausage, on high temperatures in
the Air Fryer. A temperature of 350°F is recommended.
• Foods cook best and most evenly when they are of similar size and thickness.
• Smaller pieces of food require less cooking time than larger items.
• Smaller pieces of food may be cooked at higher temperatures of food than larger items
because they generally require less time to cook.
• For best results in the shortest amount of time, air fry food in small batches. Avoid stacking
or layering food when possible.
• Most prepared foods do not need to be tossed in oil before air frying. Most already contain
oil and other ingredients that enhance browning and crispiness.
• Frozen appetizers and hors d’oeuvres air fry very well. For best results, arrange them on
the Air Fryer’s tray in a single layer.
• If layering foods, be sure to shake the air fryer basket halfway through to promote even
cooking.
• Toss foods you are preparing from scratch, such as French fries, with oil, in a separate bowl,
to improve browning and crispiness. Fresh foods do not contain the same oils, fats and
other ingredients that prepared foods contain which promote browning and crispiness.
• When making French fries using fresh potatoes, ensure they are completely dry before
cooking in the Air Fryer. Even the smallest droplets of moisture will prevent them from
getting crispy.
• When air frying battered food, stick to thick, pasty batters. Thin batters, such as the batters
used to make tempura, will run and not set fast enough like they do in a deep fryer.
• Coating battered foods in panko (Japanese-style breadcrumbs) or puffed rice, and then
spraying them with oil, help create crispy, healthier versions of your favorite fried foods.
• Air fryers are great for reheating food. To reheat your food, set the temperature to 300°F
for up to 10 minutes. Use a thermometer to ensure it reaches food-safe temperatures.

The pan still contains greasy resi-
due from previous use
Make sure the Air Fryer basket is cleaned
properly after every use. The Air Fryer basket is
dishwasher safe

basket
Cut potatoes were not rinsed
properly before air frying
Soak cut potatoes in cold water for 30 minutes.
Rinse, and dry completely
14
Problem Possible Cause Solution
Fresh French fries are
not crispy when
they come out of
the Air Fryer
The crispiness of the fries depends
on the amount of oil and water in
the fries
Fully dry cut potatoes before tossing with oil or
spices
Cut the potatoes thinner for crispier results
Add more oil for crispier results
