Oster CKSTAF18M-013 Instruction Manual page 13

Your Air Fryer can be used to cook fresh or frozen foods. Always ensure that the
ingredients are evenly coated with oil. This appliance is not intended to cook popcorn.
1. Plug the Air Fryer into an electrical outlet.
2. Turn the temperature control knob to the required temperature.
3. To switch the Air Fryer on, turn the time control knob to the desired cooking time. The
power light (red) will illuminate and remain ON until the timer is finished.
The heat indicator light (green) will illuminate when the heaters are actively powered.
Please note it is normal for the heat indicator to cycle on/off while cooking in order to
maintain a consistent cooking temperature.
Note: For best results, add an additional 3-5 minutes for preheat before placing food
in the Air Fryer.
4. Use the handle to gently pull the cooking basket from the air fryer. Ensure that the
cooking tray is properly in place and place food in the cooking basket. Replace
the basket back into the air fryer properly. If the basket is not inserted properly, the
appliance will not operate.
5. To ensure crispiness, some foods require shaking halfway through the cooking
process. To do this, pull the cooking basket out of the appliance by the handle and
gently shake/stir the food. Then slide the basket back into the air fryer and continue
to cook.
Note: The removable cooking tray may move out of place when shaking/stirring food
in the basket. Ensure the cooking tray is in the proper position before returning the
basket to the air fryer to continue cooking.
6. When you hear the timer bell, the set cooking time has finished. Pull the basket out of
the appliance and place it on a heat resistant surface. Check if the foods are ready. If
not, simply put back into the Air Fryer and set the time for a few extra minutes.
7. When the food is ready, carefully pull the cooking basket from the air fryer and empty
food into serving bowl or plate. Be careful that the cooking tray does not come loose.
For larger more fragile items, use tongs to lift the food out of the basket.
