Other Consumer Safety Information
This appliance is intended for household use only.
This appliance is only intended for the preparation, cooking, and serving of foods. This appliance is not intended for use with any nonfood materials or products.

Electrical Shock Hazard: This appliance is provided with a polarized plug (one wide blade) to reduce the risk of electric shock.

The plug fits only one way into a polarized outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the plug by modifying the plug in any way or by using an adapter. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, have an electrician replace the outlet.

The length of the cord used on this appliance was selected to reduce the hazards of becoming tangled in or tripping over a longer cord. If a longer cord is necessary, an approved extension cord may be used. The electrical rating of the extension cord must be equal to or greater than the rating of the appliance. Care must be taken to arrange the extension cord so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or accidentally tripped over.

To avoid an electrical circuit overload, do not use another high-wattage appliance on the same circuit with this appliance.

Air Frying Tips

• Air frying crisps and browns by powerfully circulating hot air around food. Little to no added oil is needed for prepared foods.
• Foods may need to be flipped, stirred, or rotated during cooking. Cooking times are suggestions. Cook food until crisp and golden brown.
• The heating element in Air Fryer is on top. Most foods need to be flipped, stirred, or rotated during cooking.
• For best results, arrange foods in a single, even layer in Air Fryer.
  • Delicate foods such as fish and handbreaded items should be cooked in a single, even layer.
  • Sturdier foods such as frozen French fries, chicken nuggets and chicken tenders can be piled into Air Fryer but will need to be turned and rotated during cooking.
• Avoid overfilling Air Fryer so air flows around food to improve crispness. No more than half-full is a good guide.
• When cooking heavy foods such as a whole chicken, lift food out of pan using metal forks or tongs.
• Check food for doneness before recommended packaging cook times. Add more time if needed desired crispness/ doneness.
• Cut uniform-sized pieces for even cooking results.
• A light spritz of cooking oil before cooking helps with browning and crisping of foods such as fresh vegetables.
• Breadcrumbs make crunchy air fried coatings. Avoid sauces or batters.
• Do not line Removable Crisping Insert; that blocks air flow.
• Vegetables need a little oil to brown or a crumb coating to be crispy. To brown fresh vegetables more, add oil, increase temperature and shorten cooking time. To add a crisp coating, dip in egg wash, coat with bread crumbs and cook until crisp.
