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

Prepare the air fryer basket.
Use the handle in the center of the tray to insert it 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.
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.

Lightly press the Time button. The little clock icon located on the left of the displayed time will blink. Lightly press the - or + button to select desired time.
Maximum cooking time is 60 minutes.
Adjust the Temperature:
Lightly press the Temp button. The little thermometer icon located on the left of the displayed temperature will blink. Lightly press the - or + button to select desired temperature.
Minimum temperature is 160°F and 80°C. Maximum temperature is 400°F and 200°C.
Change the Temperature from Fahrenheit to Celsius:
Lightly press and hold the Temp button for two seconds. The little °F located to the right of the displayed temperature will change to °C. Repeat to switch back to Fahrenheit.
Start cooking.
After setting the time and temp, press the Start/Stop button to start cooking. While the Air Fryer is cooking, all of the buttons will remain illuminated and the temperature and remaining time will toggle on the display.
To check the food while the Air Fryer is cooking, use the basket handle to gently pull out the air fryer basket. All of the buttons will turn off once you pull out the basket, but the program will be saved until you resume cooking. Use the basket handle to shake and redistribute the food inside the air fryer basket, if necessary, and push the air fryer basket to resume cooking.
Enjoy your delicious air-fried food!

Tips

COOKING 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.

Cleaning & Maintenance

Ensure that the Air Fryer is unplugged before cleaning.
Once the Air Fryer and air fryer basket are cool, remove the air fryer basket from the Air Fryer (if it is not already removed.) 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.
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.
Store the Air Fryer in a cool, dry place.
