• Food Quantity: Do not overcrowd the baskets or compartments. Cook in batches if necessary to ensure even cooking.
• Shaking/Flipping: For air-fried items, shake the basket or flip food halfway through cooking to ensure even browning.
• Accessories: Use appropriate accessories like the grill rack for grilling or baking trays for oven functions.
• Temperature & Time: Cooking times and temperatures may vary based on food type, quantity, and desired crispiness. Adjust as needed.
