Usage Tips

WARNING: Always use a meat thermometer to ensure that meat, poultry, and fish are thoroughly cooked before eating.

• To ensure even cooking/browning, open the frying basket drawer halfway through the cooking time. Check, turn, or vigorously shake the food in the basket.
• Frying smaller quantities of food for shorter cooking times will achieve better cooking results. Adjust air frying temperatures and times as needed to suit your taste.
• IMPORTANT: Unless foods are pre-greased, to obtain golden and crispy results, all foods should be lightly greased before air frying.
• You can spray or brush oil onto the food. Aerosol oils work well as the oil is distributed evenly and smaller quantities of oil are needed.
• To ensure crispy results, make sure foods are dry before adding oil.
• Cut smaller pieces to create more surface area for crispier results.
• It is advisable to preheat the fryer for 3-5 minutes to improve food cooking.
