Preheating:

For best results, especially with certain foods, preheating the air fryer for 3-5 minutes at the desired cooking temperature is recommended. Simply set the temperature and time, start the air fryer, and let it run empty before adding food.

Shaking/Turning Food:

Some foods require shaking or turning halfway through the cooking process to ensure even browning and crispiness. Pull out the basket, gently shake or use non-abrasive tongs to turn the food, then reinsert the basket.

Cooking Guide and Tips

This section provides general guidelines. Cooking times and temperatures may vary based on food quantity, size, and desired crispiness.

General Tips:

• Oil Usage: While an air fryer requires little to no oil, a light spray or toss with a teaspoon of oil can enhance crispiness for some foods.
• Batch Cooking: For best results, cook food in smaller batches to ensure even air circulation. Overfilling the basket can lead to uneven cooking.
• Food Size: Cut food into uniform pieces for consistent cooking.
• Check Doneness: Always check food for doneness, especially meats, using a food thermometer if necessary.

Regular cleaning will extend the life of your air fryer and ensure optimal performance.

Cleaning After Each Use:

1. Unplug the air fryer from the wall outlet and allow it to cool down completely before cleaning.
