Power AirFryer Pro Plus Owner's Manual

AirFryer, Rotisserie, Dehydrator & More

The Power AirFryer Pro Plus™ is the first all-in-one unit that air fries, roasts, grills, and bakes all your favorite foods with little or no oil.

Before You Begin

It is very important that you read this entire manual, making certain that you are totally familiar with the Unit's operation and precautions.

The Power AirFryer Pro Plus

Not only cooks your favorite fried foods but also broils and bakes many other favorites like air-fried burgers, calzones, and doughnuts. It features eight one-touch presets for time and temperature for favorites like crispy shrimp, fries, and southern-style chicken. It also includes a Rotisserie preset and a Dehydrator preset for preserving fresh fruits and other foods.

We All Love Fried Food

Crispy fried chicken, French fries, coconut shrimp, chicken Parmesan, spicy hot wings – these popular dishes are part of our everyday diet. Previously, achieving that great, crispy-fried crunch without deep frying in fat or oil was difficult.

Good News!

The Power AirFryer Pro Plus™ has changed everything. Its culinary design team has perfected a cooking system that virtually eliminates oil. Messy, unhealthy oil is replaced with Turbo Cyclonic Air that surrounds your food, cooking it to crisp and juicy perfection.
