Specific Cooking Functions:

• Air Frying:

  Place food on the air flow racks or in the mesh basket. For best results, do not overcrowd. The 360° air circulation ensures even cooking and crispiness with minimal oil. Use the mesh basket for items like fries or popcorn chicken that benefit from tumbling.
