Setup

1. Unpacking: Carefully remove the air fryer toaster oven and all accessories from the packaging. Retain packaging for future storage or transport.
2. Initial Cleaning: Before first use, wipe the exterior of the appliance with a damp cloth. Wash all removable accessories (mesh basket, wire rack, drip tray, rotisserie fork, cage tong) with warm, soapy water or place them in the dishwasher. Ensure all parts are completely dry before reassembling.
3. Placement: Place the appliance on a flat, stable, heat-resistant surface. Ensure there is adequate clearance (at least 6 inches) on all sides and above the unit for proper ventilation, especially around the side air vents. Do not place it directly under kitchen cabinets.
4. Power Connection: Plug the power cord into a grounded 120V electrical outlet. The appliance is now ready for use.
5. First Use Burn-Off: It is recommended to run the air fryer at a high temperature (e.g., 400°F for 15 minutes) without food during its first use to burn off any manufacturing residues. Some smoke or odor may be present, which is normal and will dissipate.

Operating Instructions

Digital Control Panel:

The appliance features a digital touch control panel for easy operation. The main display shows temperature and time settings.

• ON/OFF Button: Powers the unit on or off.
• Menu Button: Cycles through the 16 preset cooking functions (Chicken, Defrost, Wings, Dehydrate, Steak, French Fries, Fish, Vegetables, Popcorn, Proof, Cake, Skewer, Pizza, Keep Warm, Toast, Cookie).
• Temperature Control (+/-): Adjusts the cooking temperature.
• Time Control (+/-): Adjusts the cooking time.

General Cooking Steps:

1. Place food in the appropriate accessory (mesh basket, wire rack, or rotisserie fork).
2. Insert the accessory into the oven.
3. Press the ON/OFF button to power on the unit.
4. Select a preset function using the Menu button, or manually set the desired temperature and time using the Temperature and Time controls.
5. Press the ON/OFF button again to start cooking.
6. Monitor cooking progress through the transparent window. The internal light can be activated for better visibility.
7. Once cooking is complete, the unit will beep. Carefully remove the food using the cage tong or oven mitts.

Using the Rotisserie Function:

For rotisserie cooking (e.g., whole chicken), secure the food onto the rotisserie fork. Insert the rotisserie fork into the designated slots inside the oven. Select a rotisserie preset or manually set temperature and time, then press the Rotisserie button to activate rotation. This ensures even cooking and browning.

Using the Dehydrator Function:

Place thinly sliced fruits, vegetables, or meats on the wire racks. Select the Dehydrate preset or set a low temperature (e.g., 100-150°F) for an extended period. The appliance's consistent low heat and air circulation will slowly remove moisture, preserving the food.

Maintenance and Cleaning

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

1. Before Cleaning: Always unplug the air fryer toaster oven from the power outlet and allow it to cool completely before cleaning.
2. Accessories: The mesh basket, wire rack, drip tray, rotisserie fork, and cage tong are all dishwasher-safe. For manual cleaning, wash with warm, soapy water and a non-abrasive sponge. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely.
3. Interior: Wipe the interior walls with a damp cloth and mild detergent. For stubborn food residue, a non-abrasive cleaner can be used. Avoid using metal scouring pads or harsh abrasives.
4. Exterior: Clean the exterior housing with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
5. Drip Tray: Regularly empty and clean the drip tray located at the bottom of the oven to prevent grease buildup and smoking.
