Frequently Asked Questions

1. Can I prepare foods other than fried dishes
with my appliance?
You can prepare a variety of dishes, including steaks,
chops, burgers, and baked goods. See the PowerXL
Air Fryer Oven Recipe Guide.
2. Is the appliance good for making or reheating
soups and sauces?
Never cook or reheat liquids in the appliance.
3. What do I do if the appliance shuts down while
cooking?
As a safety feature, the appliance has an Auto
Shut-Off device that prevents damage from
overheating. Unplug and allow the appliance to cool
down. Plug back in and restart with the Power Button.
4. Does the appliance need time to heat up?
Preheating is needed when you are cooking
from a cold start, add 3 mins. to the cook time to
compensate.
5. Is it possible to shut off the appliance at any time?
Press the Power Button once or open the door.
6. Can I check the food during the cooking process?
You can check on the progress of the cooking cycle
at any time. If you open the door, the cooking time
and temperature should resume from where they left
off when you close the door.
7. Is the appliance dishwasher safe?
Only the accessories are dishwasher safe. The
appliance itself containing the heating coil and
electronics should never be submerged in liquid
of any kind or cleaned with anything more than a
hot, moist cloth or nonabrasive sponge with a small
amount of mild detergent.
8. What happens if the appliance still does not work
after I have tried all the troubleshooting
suggestions?
Never attempt a home repair. Contact Tristar
using the contact information located on the back
of this manual and follow the procedures set forth
by the guarantee. Failure to do so could render
your guarantee null and void.
9. Can the door come off?
Yes. Removing the door will allow you to clean the
appliance and windows more easily. Open the door
slightly (about 1 in./2.5 cm from the closed position),
and gently lift up on the door hinge. The joints will
slide out. To reattach the door, position the door to
be slightly open as before. Then, align the hinge so
that the joins fall into the slots. Close the door. Do not
clean the door in the dishwasher.
