"Pre-Heat" Function

The "Pre-Heat" function ensures that the NuWave Brio Digital Air Fryer reaches the desired temperature before you begin cooking your food. The "Pre-Heat" function is the perfect choice for foods that require a crispier finish, such as frozen appetizers, French fries or chicken wings.

If you cook another batch of food shortly after cooking in the NuWave Brio Digital Air Fryer, you do not need to use the "Pre-Heat" Function as the NuWave Brio Digital Air Fryer will already be hot. If you wish to cook your food longer, simply place the Base Tray and Fry Pan Basket back into the appliance and continue cooking in 2-3 minutes increments until desired consistency has been reached.

Once the NuWave Brio Digital Air Fryer reaches the set temperature, the control panel will display "Ready" and the NuWave Brio Digital Air Fryer will beep once. The NuWave Brio Digital Air Fryer will start a countdown of 5 minutes and the number "5" will start flashing. It will remain at this temperature for up to 5 minutes, or until you remove the Fry Pan Basket, whichever comes first. Once the food has been added to the Fry Pan Basket, insert the Fry Pan Basket back in place. This will start the countdown on the set cooking time.

Note: If you remove the Fry Pan Basket at any point during the preheating stage, the NuWave Brio Digital Air Fryer will automatically pause, start a countdown of 5 minutes until you replace the Fry Pan Basket.

Note: Do not touch the inside of the Base Tray immediately after cooking as the pan can become very hot. Only hold the pan by the handle.

Shaking Food

Some foods require shaking halfway through cooking. To properly shake the food, hold the handle, remove the Base Tray from the appliance and shake. Once the food has been adequately shaken, slide the Base Tray and Fry Pan Basket back into the NuWave Brio Digital Air Fryer.
