Emeril Lagasse Dual Zone 360 Air Fryer Oven Combo: Instruction Manual

1. Introduction

The Emeril Lagasse Dual Zone 360 Air Fryer Oven Combo is a versatile kitchen appliance designed to simplify your cooking experience. This unit combines multiple functions, including air frying, roasting, baking, toasting, rotisserie, dehydrating, reheating, warming, grilling, and slow cooking, all within a single countertop device.

Featuring Dual Zone technology, this oven allows you to cook two different foods at varying temperatures simultaneously. The QuickSync Technology ensures that both zones finish cooking at the same time, providing hot and fresh meals. With an extra-large 25-quart capacity and 360° superheated air circulation, it delivers crispy, golden results for family-sized meals.

2. Setup

1. Unpacking: Carefully remove all components from the packaging. Inspect the appliance and accessories for any damage. Retain packaging materials for future storage or transport.
2. Initial Cleaning: Before first use, wipe down the exterior of the unit with a clean, damp cloth. Wash all removable accessories (baskets, racks, drip tray, grill plate, pizza stone) with warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely.
3. Placement: Place the air fryer oven on a stable, heat-resistant, and level surface. Ensure there is adequate air circulation around the unit, leaving at least 6 inches of space on all sides and above. Do not place it directly under cabinets or near flammable materials.
4. Accessory Installation: Insert the drip tray at the bottom of the oven cavity. Place the desired cooking racks or baskets into the appropriate slots based on your recipe. The removable divider can be inserted or removed to create two cooking zones or one large zone.

4. Maintenance

4.1 Cleaning the Interior

Always unplug the appliance and allow it to cool completely before cleaning. The interior of the oven, including heating elements, should be wiped with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads that could damage surfaces.

4.2 Removable Drip Tray

The removable drip tray should be emptied and cleaned after each use to prevent grease buildup and smoke. Wash it with warm, soapy water. For stubborn residue, soak the tray before cleaning.

4.3 Cleaning Accessories

All removable accessories, such as air fry baskets, wire racks, and the grill plate, should be washed after each use. While some parts may be dishwasher safe, hand washing is recommended to prolong their lifespan. The main unit is not dishwasher safe.

5. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your Emeril Lagasse Dual Zone 360 Air Fryer Oven Combo, please refer to the following general troubleshooting tips:

• Appliance Not Turning On: Ensure the power cord is securely plugged into a functional electrical outlet. Check your household circuit breaker.
• Food Not Cooking Evenly: Ensure the correct temperature and time settings are selected for your food. Avoid overcrowding the cooking baskets or racks, as this can impede air circulation. For best results, shake or flip food halfway through cooking.
• Excessive Smoke: This may be caused by grease buildup on the drip tray or heating elements. Ensure the drip tray is clean before each use. For fatty foods, consider using parchment paper or aluminum foil on the drip tray (ensure it does not block airflow or touch heating elements).
• Unusual Noises: A slight fan noise is normal during operation. If you hear loud or unusual noises, unplug the unit immediately and contact customer support.

For more detailed troubleshooting steps and specific error codes, please consult the complete owner's manual that came with your appliance.
