5. Cooking Guide

For best results, consider the following tips:

• Oil Usage: Many foods require little to no oil. For a crispier result, lightly spray or toss food with a small amount of oil (e.g., 1 tablespoon).
• Shaking: For even cooking and browning, shake the basket halfway through the cooking process, especially for smaller items like fries or nuggets.
• Batch Cooking: Avoid overcrowding the basket. Cook in smaller batches if necessary to ensure proper air circulation and even cooking.
• Preheating: While not always necessary, preheating the air fryer for 3-5 minutes can improve cooking results for some foods.
• Recipe Book: Refer to the included recipe book for 50 specific recipes tailored for GoWISE USA air fryers.

2. Remove the air fry pan, basket, and crisper tray.
3. Wash the pan, basket, and crisper tray with hot water, dish soap, and a non-abrasive sponge. These parts are generally dishwasher safe, but hand washing is recommended to preserve the non-stick coating.
4. Wipe the exterior of the air fryer with a damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or immerse the main unit in water.
5. Clean the interior of the air fryer with a damp cloth and mild detergent if necessary.
