Pre-Heat Function:
The "Pre-Heat" function ensures that the NuWave 3Q Brio Digital Air Fryer reaches the desired temperature before you begin cooking your food. The "PreHeat" function is the perfect choice for foods that require a crispier finish, such as frozen appetizers, French fries, or chicken wings.

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 3Q Brio Digital Air Fryer will automatically pause, start a countdown of 5 minutes until you replace the Fry Pan Basket. If you cook another batch of food shortly after cooking in the NuWave Brio 3Q Digital Air Fryer, you do not need to use the "Pre-Heat" Function as the NuWave 3Q 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 minute increments until desired consistency has been reached.

For Best Results
After you have selected your cooking time and temperature and you are ready to add your ingredients to the NuWave Brio Digital Air Fryer: Pull out the Base Tray and Fry Pan Basket from the NuWave Brio Digital Air Fryer. (Fig. 1)

Note: Do not fill more than 4/5 full. Slip the Fry Pan Basket in place in the NuWave Brio Digital Air Fryer. Do not use the Base Tray without the Fry Pan Basket in it. (Fig. 2)

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. (Fig. 3)

DO NOT PRESS THE DEMOUNTING BUTTON WHILE SHAKING.

How To Use Grill Pan:

1. Pull out the Fry Pan Basket from the Base Tray and place it on a flat surface.
2. Lift up the safety cover and press the demounting button.
3. Lift the Fry Pan Basket, and replace this with the Grill Pan.

This will reduce the extra weight of the Base Tray and makes it easier to pour smaller foods, such as French fries.

SEE OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USE

Electrical Information
A short power-supply cord (or detachable power-supply cord) is provided to reduce the risk resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. Longer detachable power-supply cords or extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use. If a longer detachable power-supply cord or 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 appliance.
2. The longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it could be pulled on or tripped over unintetionally. The Brio should be operated on a separate electrical outlet from other operating appliances due to wattage limitations. The appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug is intended to fit into a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to modify the plug in any way.
3. If the appliance is of the grounded type, the cord set or extension cord should be a grounding-type 3-wire cord.
