CREATE Air Fryer Mist User Manual

Model: 172243_401484 | Brand: CREATE

1. Introduction and Overview

The CREATE Air Fryer Mist is designed to provide a healthier alternative to traditional frying, allowing you to prepare a wide variety of foods with little to no oil. This appliance utilizes hot air circulation to achieve crispy results, similar to deep-frying, but in a clean, healthy, and smoke-free manner. Its innovative steam release function ensures that certain dishes, such as chicken, vegetables, or meat, remain juicy and tender while still achieving a desirable texture.

Featuring a generous 4.2-liter capacity, this air fryer is ideal for preparing 5 to 6 portions, making it suitable for families. The transparent glass bowl allows for easy monitoring of the cooking process without interrupting the cycle, preventing heat loss. With 6 preset programs and intuitive time and temperature controls via an LCD display, cooking your favorite meals is simple and convenient.

The steam release function helps to keep food moist and tender. This function is automatically integrated into certain preset programs (e.g., chicken, vegetables, meat) or can be manually activated if the water tank is filled.

  • When a steam-enabled program is selected, the air fryer will automatically release steam at optimal intervals to ensure juicy results.
  • You may see steam escaping from the unit during operation, which is normal.
