To check food while the Air Fryer is cooking:
A) Use the basket handle to pull out the basket.
Note: The power indicator light and the heating indicator light will turn off once the basket is pulled out, but
the timer will continue to count down.
B) Use the basket handle to shake and redistribute the food inside the basket (or use tongs to flip food) if
necessary, then push the basket back into the unit. The unit will automatically resume cooking when the
basket is replaced.

Once the timer completely counts down, the Air Fryer will ding once and turn off.

Place the hot basket on a wire rack or trivet to cool.

9. Clean the basket and tray after every use.

COOKING TIPS

• Almost any food that is traditionally cooked in the oven can be air fried.
• Foods cook best and most evenly when they are of similar size and thickness.
• Smaller pieces of food require less cooking time than larger pieces.
• For best results in the shortest amount of time, air fry food in small batches. Avoid stacking or layering
when possible.
• Most prepackaged 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 tray in a
single layer.
• If layering foods, be sure to shake the basket halfway through (or flip food) to promote even cooking.
• Toss foods you are preparing from scratch, such as French fries or other vegetables, with a small amount
of oil to promote browning and crispiness.
• When air frying fresh vegetables, make sure to pat them dry completely before tossing with oil and air
frying to ensure maximum crispiness.
• Air fryers are great for reheating food, including pizza. To reheat your food, set the temperature to 150
for up to 10 minutes.
