Cooking Guide

Air Frying Tips

• For best results, preheat the oven for 3-5 minutes before adding food.
• Do not overcrowd the fry basket. Cook in batches if necessary to ensure even cooking and crispiness.
• Shake the fry basket or flip food halfway through cooking for uniform results.
• Lightly spray or toss food with a small amount of oil for enhanced crispiness.

Rotisserie Function

The rotisserie function is ideal for cooking whole chickens or roasts evenly.

1. Prepare your food (e.g., truss a whole chicken).
2. Insert the rotisserie rod through the center of the food and secure it with the forks.
3. Place the rotisserie assembly into the oven's rotisserie slots.
4. Select the "Chicken" or "Rotisserie" (if available as a separate mode) function and adjust time/temperature as needed.
5. Ensure the rotisserie function is activated (usually indicated by a rotating icon on the display).

Dehydrate Function

The dehydrate function allows for drying fruits, vegetables, and making jerky.

• Slice food thinly and arrange on the wire rack without overlapping.
• Select the "Dehydrate" function. The default time is 24 hours, and temperature is typically lower (e.g., 180°F / 82°C). Adjust as required.
• Dehydration times vary significantly based on food type and thickness.
