SHORT CORD PURPOSE

NOTE: A short power cord is provided to reduce the risk of personal injury resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a long cord.

Longer power-supply cords or extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use. If an extension cord is used:

1. the marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the product;
2. the extension cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the counter top or tabletop where it can unintentionally be pulled on or tripped over by children or pets.

POLARIZED PLUG

If this appliance is equipped with a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other), please follow the below instructions:

To reduce the risk of electrical shock, this plug is intended to fit into a polarized outlet only one way. If you are unable to fit the plug into the electrical outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Never use the plug with an extension cord unless the plug can be fully inserted into the extension cord. Do not alter the plug of the product or any extension cord being used with this product. Do not attempt to defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.

CLEANING & MAINTENANCE

The Air Fryer Oven should be cleaned thoroughly after every use.

1. Make sure the Power Cord is disconnected from the electrical outlet and that the appliance has cooled down before attempting to clean.
2. Do not use abrasive cleaners, as they will damage the finish. Simply wipe the exterior with a clean, damp cloth and dry thoroughly. Apply the cleansing agent to a cloth, not directly onto the oven, before cleaning.
3. To clean interior walls, use a damp cloth and a mild liquid soap solution or a spray solution on a sponge. Never use harsh abrasives or corrosive products. These could damage the oven surface. Never use steel wool pads, etc., on interior of oven.
4. Oven Rack, Baking Pan, Air Fryer Basket and Crumb Tray should be hand-washed in hot, sudsy water or use a nylon scouring pad or nylon brush. They are also dishwasher safe.
5. After cooking greasy foods and after your oven has cooled, always clean top interior of oven. If this is done on a regular basis, your oven will perform like new. Removing the grease will help to keep toasting consistent, cycle after cycle.
6. To remove crumbs, slide out the Crumb Tray and discard crumbs. Wipe clean and replace. To remove baked-on grease, soak the tray in hot, sudsy water or use nonabrasive cleaners. Never operate the oven without the Crumb Tray in place.
7. Any other servicing should be performed by an authorized service representative.

• When opening the glass door, be careful of steam. Keep hands and face away from the opening.
• After cooking, the air fryer basket, rack, or pan will be extremely hot to the touch. Do not touch surfaces of the basket, rack, or pan directly.

COOKING TIME CHART

NOTE:

• All information is for reference only and can be adjusted according to the user's preference. They are approximations as foods differ in size and density. Cooking temperatures and times cannot be guaranteed.
• STIR means the recipe requires mixing the contents mid-way through cooking.

HINTS & TIPS

• Smaller cuts of food usually require a slightly shorter cooking time than larger foods.
• A larger amount of food only requires a slightly longer cooking time and a smaller amount of food only requires a slightly shorter cooking time.
• Stirring or shaking smaller foods mid-way through the cooking process will improve the end result and can help cook more evenly.
• Adding a small amount of oil to fresh potatoes can result in a crispier result. Cook your ingredients in the air fryer within a few minutes after adding the oil.
• Do not air fry extremely greasy foods such as sausages in the air fryer.
• Snacks that can be prepared in an oven can also be prepared in the air fryer.
• The air fryer can also reheat foods. To reheat foods, set the temperature to 300°F for up to 10 minutes.
• To cook frozen foods, add an additional 3-5 minutes to your cook time.

NOTE:

• Add 3 minutes to the cooking time if you begin cooking while the air fryer is still cold.
• Do not cook frozen, raw foods in the air fryer.
