Add Food Reminder:

For certain recipes or cooking methods, the air fryer may prompt you to add food at a specific point. Follow the on-screen indicator and add the remaining ingredients as instructed.

Shake Reminder:

Some foods, like fries or chicken nuggets, benefit from being shaken or turned halfway through cooking for even crisping. The air fryer will beep and display a "SHAKE" reminder. Carefully remove the basket(s), shake or turn the food, and reinsert the basket(s) to resume cooking.

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