10. User Tips

• Preheating: For best results, preheat the air fryer for 3-5 minutes before adding food.
• Oil Usage: While designed for oil-free cooking, a light spray of oil can enhance crispiness and flavor for some foods.
• Batch Cooking: Avoid overcrowding the baskets to ensure even cooking and crispiness. Cook in smaller batches if necessary.
• Shaking/Flipping: For most foods, especially fries and chicken wings, shaking or flipping them halfway through the cooking cycle will ensure even browning.
• Custom Settings: Experiment with different temperatures and times for your favorite recipes. The presets are a good starting point.
• Cleaning: Clean the baskets and crisper plates immediately after use to prevent food from sticking and making cleaning more difficult.
