Air Fry (Model Lrgl5825* / Lrgl5823*) - LG LRGL5825 Series Owner's Manual

38 OPERATION
NOTE
• To avoid lowering the oven temperature and
lengthening proofing time, do not open the oven
door unnecessarily. Check bread products early
to avoid over proofing.
• Do not use the proofing mode for warming
food or keeping food hot. The proofing oven
temperature is not hot enough to keep foods at
safe temperatures. Use the Warm feature to keep
food warm. Proofing does not operate when the
oven is above 125 °F. Hot shows in the display.
Air Fry (Model LRGL5825* /
LRGL5823*)
This Feature automatically increases the entered
temperature by 60 °F for optimal performance when using
Air Fry. The function is specially designed for oil-free frying.
• No preheating is required when using the Air Fry mode.
• For best results, cook food on a single rack placed in
position 3 or 4.
• Spread the food out evenly in a single layer.
• Use either the optional Air Fry Tray available from LG or
a dark baking tray with no sides or short sides that does
not cover the entire oven rack. This allows for better air
circulation.
• If desired, spray the baking tray or Air Fry tray with
a pan spray. Use an oil that can be heated to a high
temperature before smoking, such as avocado,
grapeseed, peanut or sunflower oil.
• Place a foil-lined baking tray on a rack in position 2 to
catch the oil falling from the food. For high-fat foods like
chicken wings, add a few sheets of parchment paper to
absorb the fat.
• Check food often and shake it or turn it over for crisper
results.
• Prepared frozen foods may cook faster with the Air Fry
mode than stated on the package. Reduce the cooking
time by about 20 percent, check food early, and adjust
cooking time as needed.
• If cooking multiple batches, the later batches may take
less time to cook.
• Use a food thermometer to make sure food has reached
a safe temperature for consumption. Eating undercooked
meats can increase your risk of food-borne illness.
• Wet batters and coating will not crisp or set when using
the Air Fry mode.
• For the crispiest results, dredge fresh chicken wings or
tenders in seasoned flour. Use 1/3 cup flour for 2 pounds.
Air Frying High-Fat Foods
Foods high in fat will smoke when using the Air Fry mode.
For best results, follow these recommendations when air
frying foods that are high in fat, such as chicken wings,
bacon, sausage, hot dogs, turkey legs, lamb chops, ribs,
pork loin, duck breasts, or some plant-based proteins.
CAUTION
Never cover slots, holes, or passages in the oven
bottom or cover entire racks with materials such as
aluminum foil. Doing so blocks airflow through the
oven and can result in carbon monoxide poisoning.
Aluminum foil can also trap heat, causing a fire hazard
or poor oven performance.
• Turn on your exhaust hood at a high fan setting before
you start Air Fry and leave it on for 15 minutes after
you're done.
• Open a window or sliding glass door, if possible, to make
sure the kitchen is well-ventilated.
• Clean the grease filters on your exhaust hood regularly.
• Keep the oven free from grease buildup. Wipe down the
interior of the oven before and after air frying (once the
oven has cooled).
• Run oven cleaning cycles (Easy Clean™ or Self Clean)
regularly, depending on how often and what types of food
you Air Fry.
• Avoid opening the oven door more than necessary to
help maintain the oven temperature, prevent heat loss,
and save energy.
• Air-frying fresh chicken pieces such as wings or
drumsticks with the skin left on can produce smoke as
the fat renders at high temperatures. If the smoke is
excessive, use the Convection Roast mode instead of Air
Fry.
