This could result in injury or electric shock.

Operating Instructions

Before First Use

Remove all packing materials and stickers from the inside and outside of the Air Fryer. Gently wipe down exterior with a damp cloth or paper towel. Never immerse the Air Fryer or its plug in water or any other liquids.

NOTE: Unit may emit a slight odor and smoke during first use, which is normal.

Pull the basket handle to remove the basket from the Air Fryer. Use the tray handle, in the center of the tray, to remove the tray. Use a sponge and warm, soapy water to wash the inside and outside of the basket and tray. The basket and the tray are top-rack dishwasher safe.

WARNING: Do not use abrasive cleaning agents or scouring pads.

Dry thoroughly.

Read all instructions and follow them carefully.

How to Use

1. Prepare the basket and desired food. Use the tray handle to insert the tray into the basket. Push down to ensure it is secure and level. There should be a small amount of space between the tray and the bottom of the basket.

NOTE: Using the Air Fryer with the tray in place allows for maximum air circulation, which promotes even cooking and crispiness.

CAUTION: Never fill the basket with oil. Unlike deep fryers, air fryers require little to no oil to produce crispy results. If you choose to use oil, toss food with oil in a separate bowl and then transfer food to the tray inside the basket.

2. Put food on tray. Refer to the chart for recommended maximum amounts of food, cooking times, temperatures, and tips.
3. Slide the basket into the Air Fryer. Use the basket handle to insert the basket into the Air Fryer. Push to close.
4. Plug in the Air Fryer.

NOTE: The power indicator light will NOT illuminate until the timer is turned past 0.

NOTE: The Air Fryer will not operate if the basket is not fully pushed into place.

5. Set desired cooking temperature and time. Adjust the temperature: Turn the temperature dial to the desired temperature between 200°F and 400°F.

NOTE: The Air Fryer fan operates without heat when the temperature dial is set to approximately 180°F or lower.

Adjust the time: Turn the timer dial to the desired time. Once a time is selected, the Air Fryer will begin to click, indicating the time is counting down.

NOTE: Maximum cooking time is 60 minutes.

6. Start cooking. After setting the temperature and time, the power indicator light and the heating indicator light will illuminate and the Air Fryer will begin cooking.

To check food while the Air Fryer is cooking:

1. Use the basket handle to pull out the basket.

NOTE: The power indicator light and the heating indicator light will turn off once the basket is pulled out, but the timer will continue to count down.

1. Use the basket handle to shake and redistribute the food inside the basket (or use tongs to flip food) if necessary, then push the basket back into the unit. The unit will automatically resume cooking when the basket is replaced.

NOTE: The Air Fryer can be turned off at any time by turning the timer dial to 0.

7. Enjoy your air-fried food. Once the timer has counted down to 0, the Air Fryer bell will ring once and the Air Fryer will automatically turn off.

Use the basket handle to pull out the basket. Carefully transfer the hot food to a serving plate.

CAUTION: The basket, tray, and contents will be HOT after cooking.

Place the hot basket on a wire rack or trivet to cool.

8. Unplug the Air Fryer and let cool completely before cleaning.
9. Clean the basket and tray after every use.

Cooking Tips

• Almost any food that is traditionally cooked in the oven can be air fried.
• Foods cook best and most evenly when they are of similar size and thickness.
• Smaller pieces of food require less cooking time than larger pieces.
• For best results in the shortest amount of time, air fry foods in small batches. Avoid stacking or layering when possible.
• Most prepackaged foods do not need to be tossed in oil before air frying. Most already contain oil and other ingredients that enhance browning and crispiness.
• Frozen appetizers and hors d'oeuvres air fry very well. For best results, arrange them on the tray in a single layer.
• If layering foods, be sure to shake the basket halfway through (or flip foods) to promote even cooking.
• Toss foods you are preparing from scratch, such as potatoes for French fries or other vegetables, with a small amount of oil to promote browning and crispiness.
• To ensure maximum crispness when air frying fresh vegetables, pat them dry completely before tossing with oil.
• When air frying battered foods, stick to thick, pasty batters. Thin batters, such as the batters used to make tempura, will run and not set fast enough like they do in a deep fryer.
• Coating battered foods in panko (Japanese-style breadcrumbs) or puffed rice, and then spraying them with oil, helps create crispy, healthier versions of your favorite fried foods.
• Air fryers are great for reheating foods, including pizza. To reheat, set the temperature to 300°F for up to 10 minutes. Use a thermometer to ensure reheated foods reach food safe temperatures.

The temperatures and times recommended in the following chart are based on the listed recommended amounts and weights. If using a smaller amount or weight, check for doneness sooner than the recommended time because the food will likely cook faster.

NOTE: The table on the next two pages is only a guide and does not contain exact recipes.

NOTE: Use extreme caution while handling hot food in fryer basket. Excess oil will drip into basket when preparing greasy foods. Empty basket after every use.
