6. Cooking Guide

Air frying is a versatile cooking method. Here are some general tips:

• Oil Usage: While air frying requires significantly less oil, a light spray or toss with a small amount of oil can enhance crispiness and flavor for many foods.
• Food Preparation: Cut food into uniform sizes for even cooking. Pat wet foods dry before air frying to achieve a crispier texture.
• Batch Cooking: Avoid overcrowding the basket. Cook in smaller batches if necessary to ensure proper air circulation and even cooking.
• Temperature and Time: Cooking times and temperatures can vary based on food type, quantity, and desired crispiness. Refer to the preset programs as a starting point and adjust as needed.

Regular cleaning ensures optimal performance and extends the life of your air fryer.
