Cleaning Your Oven - Hamilton Beach Quantum Air Fry 31350 Manual

Air Frying Tips From Our Test Kitchen
Air Frying: AIR FRY Mode cooks and browns evenly by circulating
forced hot air, which crisps food. Use AIR FRY Mode to crisp foods
using little added oil.
Oven & Food Tips:
• Place the Air Fry Basket in Lower Rack Position for optimal air
frying performance (see image on page 6).
• Foods that are juicy (burgers/chicken), contain moisture (zucchini)
or oily (wings) should always be placed on Nesting Rack inside
Pan and then add Pan to inside of Air Fry Basket (see image on
page 6).
• Keep at least 1 inch (2.5 cm) between food and heating elements.
• Do not line Air Fry Basket; this blocks airflow.
• Review food packaging-suggested cook times and adjust time for
desired crispness.

• Slice or cut fresh foods in uniform size pieces to ensure even
cooking.
• Arrange foods in a single, even layer in Air Fry Basket for shorter
cooking cycle.
• Avoid opening Oven door while cooking frozen French fries or
chicken nuggets until cooking cycle is nearly done.
• Check food for desired doneness a few minutes before end of
cooking cycle. Add or reduce cooking time as needed.
• A light spritz of cooking oil before cooking provides crispier
texture.
• Larger/thicker foods may need to be flipped/turned, stirred, or
rotated halfway during cooking.
• Avoid sauces or batters; they tend to slide off the food.
• Delicate foods such as fish and hand-breaded items should be
cooked in a single, even layer.
w WARNING Electrical Shock Hazard. Do not clean with metal
scouring pads. Pieces can break off pad and touch electrical parts,
causing a risk of electric shock.

glass window. Spray glass cleaner on cloth to clean. Wipe
