Cooking Guide and Tips
- Oil Usage: While the air fryer cooks without oil, a small amount of oil (1 tablespoon or less) can be added to some foods for extra crispiness and flavor. Toss food with oil before placing it in the basket.
- Even Cooking: For best results, shake the basket or flip food halfway through cooking, especially for larger quantities or items like fries and chicken wings.
- Batch Cooking: If cooking large amounts of food, cook in smaller batches to ensure even air circulation and crispiness.
- Preheating: Preheating the air fryer for 3-5 minutes before adding food can improve cooking results and reduce overall cooking time.
- Food Doneness: Cooking times and temperatures are approximate. Always check food for doneness, especially meats and poultry, using a food thermometer if necessary.
- Versatility: This air fryer can fry, gratinate, roast, heat, and defrost. Experiment with different recipes beyond traditional frying.
Maintenance and Cleaning
Regular cleaning will extend the life of your air fryer and ensure optimal performance.
- Unplug and Cool: Always unplug the air fryer from the power outlet and allow it to cool down completely before cleaning.
- Clean Basket and Pan: The frying basket and pan are non-stick. Wash them with hot water, dish soap, and a non-abrasive sponge. For stubborn residue, soak them in hot water for about 10 minutes. Do not use metal utensils or abrasive cleaning materials. These parts are generally not dishwasher safe; refer to specific product instructions if available.
- Clean Interior: Wipe the inside of the appliance with a damp cloth. For baked-on food residue, use a soft brush and warm soapy water.
- Clean Exterior: Wipe the exterior of the air fryer with a damp cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Storage: Ensure all parts are clean and dry before storing the air fryer in a cool, dry place.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your air fryer, please refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Air fryer does not turn on. | Not plugged in; power outlet issue; appliance malfunction. | Ensure the plug is securely inserted into a working outlet. Check your home's circuit breaker. |
