OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS


This unit should not be used to boil water.

information NOTE: During first use, the Air Fryer may emit a slight odor. This is normal.

  1. Place the Air Fryer on a flat, heat-resistant work area, close to an electrical outlet.
  2. Firmly grasp the frying basket handle to open frying basket; then remove the basket from the machine and place on a flat, clean surface.
  3. Place the crisping tray into the base of the frying basket. (See Figure 2.)
  4. Arrange food on top of the crisping tray. Do not overfill frying basket with food. To ensure proper cooking and air circulation, NEVER fill any frying basket more than 2/3 full. When air frying fresh vegetables, we do not recommend adding more than 2 cups of food to the frying basket.
  5. Fully insert the frying basket into the front of the Air Fryer.
  6. Plug cord into a 120V electrical outlet.
  7. Turn timer dial to the desired air frying time plus 3 minutes for preheat if the Air Fryer is cold. The POWER light will illuminate; the Air Fryer will begin heating.

    The Air Fryer will not heat if the timer dial has not been set.

    Air Fryer will not heat and the POWER light will remain off, until frying basket drawer is fully closed.
  8. When the unit is heating up the HEAT ON light is on NOTE: When it reaches temperature the heat on light is off
  9. To assure even cooking/browning, open the basket halfway through the cooking time and check, turn or shake foods in the frying basket. The timer will continue to count down when the basket is opened, but the Air Fryer will stop heating until the basket is replaced.


Extreme caution must be used when handling the hot frying basket. Avoid escaping steam from the frying basket and the food.


Always use oven mitts when handling the hot air fryer basket.

information NOTE: The Air Fryer can be turned OFF at any time by turning the timer dial to 0.

  1. One ding will sound when the set air frying time has expired. The Air Fryer will turn off automatically. Both the POWER light and the HEAT ON light will turn off.
  2. Shake the frying basket vigorously and check food for browning and doneness. If additional air frying is needed, adjust temperature if desired, and set timer for 2 minute increments until fully cooked.
  3. Allow cooked food to rest for 5 to 10 seconds before removing basket from Air Fryer or food from frying basket.
  4. When air frying is finished, remove the basket from the machine and place on a flat, heat resistant surface.
  5. Shake air fried foods out onto serving area. Promptly return the frying basket to the Air Fryer. Continue with subsequent batches, if any.
  6. When all air frying is completed, turn the timer dial to 0 (OFF). Both the POWER light and the HEAT ON light will turn off.
  7. Unplug the Air Fryer when not in use.

AIR FRYING TECHNIQUE

  1. Please consult the Air Frying Chart and/or follow package directions for suggested time and temperature.
  2. Always pat food dry before cooking to encourage browning and avoid excess smoke.
  3. To assure even cooking/browning, ALWAYS open the basket halfway through the cook time and check, turn or shake foods in the frying basket. Some recipes may call for brush or spray oil halfway through cooking. Adjust TIME if needed.


Extreme caution must be used when handling the hot frying basket. Avoid escaping steam from the frying basket and the food.


Always use oven mitts when handling the hot air fryer basket.

  1. If additional air frying is needed, timer dial to extend cook time for 2 minutes or until food tests done.
  2. Allow cooked foods to rest for 5 to 10 minutes. Remove the basket from the machine and place on a flat, heat resistant surface.
  3. Shake air fried foods out onto serving area. Promptly return the frying basket to the Air Fryer. Continue air frying subsequent batches, if any.
  4. To avoid excess smoke, when cooking naturally high fat foods, such as bacon, chicken wings or sausages, it may be necessary to empty fat from the frying basket between batches.
  5. For crispier results, air fry small batches of freshly breaded foods. Create more surface area by cutting food into smaller pieces. Press breading onto food to help it adhere. Refrigerate breaded foods for at least 30 minutes before frying.
  6. Arrange breaded food in frying basket so that food is not touching to allow air flow on all surfaces.
  7. Spray oils work best. Oil is distributed evenly and less oil is needed. Canola, olive, avocado, coconut, grapeseed, peanut, or vegetable oil work well.
  8. TO REHEAT FOOD, air fry food for 5 minutes. Remove the basket to interrupt air frying at any time to check on food serving temperature. Repeat to extend air fry time until food is heated to your liking.
  9. Unplug the Air Fryer when not in use.

A NOTE ON AIR FRYING PRE-PACKAGED FROZEN FOODS

  1. Where microwave ovens often produce hot, mushy results and toaster ovens take forever, air frying assures reasonably fast, crispy, delicious results!
  2. As a rule, depending on the food and amount to be cooked, suggested cook times may have to be reduced slightly. Always check food halfway through cooking time to determine final cook time.
  3. Always check cooking progress after time has expired. If additional air frying is needed, air fry food for 2 minutes at 400ºF.
  4. Check at 1 minute intervals until food tests done.
