Important Safeguards

HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY | READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USE

ALWAYS KEEP THIS MANUAL HANDY FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.

WARNING: Basic safety precautions should always be followed:

• ALWAYS use great caution when operating the Brio or any appliance. Use the handles or knobs to avoid touching hot surfaces.
• NEVER immerse the cord, plug, or the Brio in water or other liquids.
• NEVER use the Brio if the unit, cord, or plug are damaged, or after the appliance malfunctions. Return the appliance to the nearest authorized service facility for examination, repair, or adjustment.
• ALWAYS supervise children; people with reduced physical, sensory, or mental capabilities; and those lacking experience and knowledge, to ensure they use the Brio safely.
• NEVER use accessories that are not intended for, or approved for use with, the Brio, as this may damage the Brio and lead to accidents.
• NEVER USE OUTDOORS. FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY. This appliance is not intended for staff kitchens of shops, offices, farms, or other work environments; nor for guests in hotels, motels, bed and breakfasts, or other non-residential environments.
• ALWAYS set up the Brio on a horizontal, even, and stable surface.
• NEVER allow the cord to hang down from tables or counters or allow it to touch hot surfaces.
• NEVER place or use the Brio on or near hot gas or electric burners, in a heated oven, close to flammable materials, space heaters, or in any wet environment.
• ALWAYS use extreme caution when moving the Brio. NEVER move or handle the unit while it is running or before it has cooled.
• ALWAYS turn the Brio off before unplugging the unit from the wall outlet.
• ALWAYS keep hands and face away from the steam and hot air released from the air outlet vent during normal operation and from the Base Tray when opening the unit to remove or adjust food.
• ALWAYS unplug the Brio and contact Nuwave Customer Service if an excess amount of smoke escapes the unit during operation. Note: A small amount of smoke is normal when using the Brio for the first time.
• NEVER put the Brio against the wall or other appliances or allow anything to block the air vents. ALWAYS keep at least 3 inches of free space around the Brio.
• NEVER place anything on top of the Brio.
• ALWAYS unplug the Brio from the wall outlet when it is not in use and before cleaning.
• ALWAYS ensure that the Brio is clean prior to use.
• NEVER operate the Brio with an external timer or separate remote-control system.
• ALWAYS allow the Brio to cool before cleaning the unit or attaching or removing parts and accessories.
• NEVER disassemble the Brio or replace any parts without prior written consent of the manufacturer. Note: If any trouble arises during operation, any service MUST be done by Nuwave LLC.
• NEVER use metal utensils with the coated Base Tray and Reversible Rack, as doing so can damage the surface.

Electrical Information

A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risk of becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. Longer detachable power-supply cords or extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised. If a longer cord is used:

• The marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance.
• The longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it could be pulled on or tripped over.
• The appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug is intended to fit into a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to modify the plug. If the appliance is grounded, the cord set or extension cord should be a grounding-type 3-wire cord.

Note: Remove the Base Tray and place it on a heat-resistant surface to cool faster. If using a dishwasher, use the top rack only for the Base Tray, Air Circulation Riser, and Reversible Rack.

Tip: For residual food, add hot water to soak parts for about 10 minutes, then use a soft cleaning brush.

Storage

Troubleshooting Guide

The Brio is not turning on or working.

• The Brio is not plugged in.
• The Power button was not pressed.
• The Base Tray is not properly in the Brio.

Solutions: Insert the plug into an appropriate grounded power socket. Press the Power button. Place the Base Tray into the Brio.

The ingredients fried in the Base Tray are not completely cooked.

• Too many ingredients were used.
• The cooking temperature is too low.
• The cooking time is too short.

Solutions: Remove some ingredients for smaller, more even batches. Cook at a higher temperature or for a longer time.

The food is fried unevenly.

Certain types of ingredients need to be shaken or flipped halfway through the cooking process.

Fried snacks are not crispy when they come out of the Brio.

• A type of snack meant for a traditional deep fryer was used.

Solution: Use snacks designed for baking in a traditional oven, or lightly brush some oil onto snacks before placing them in the Brio for crispier results.

Cannot properly slide the Base Tray into the appliance.

• The Base Tray is overfilled.

Solution: Do not fill the Base Tray more than 4/5 full. Push the Base Tray into the Brio until you hear a click.

White smoke is coming out of the Brio.

• You are frying greasy food.
• The Base Tray and Rack contain greasy residue from previous uses.

When preparing greasy ingredients, oil can produce white smoke. This will not affect the final cooking result. White smoke is caused by grease heating up. Ensure the Base Tray, Riser, and Rack are cleaned properly after each use.

French fries are fried unevenly in the Brio.

• Potato sticks were not soaked properly before air-frying.
• The wrong potato type was used, or they were not fresh.

Solution: Soak potato sticks in water for at least 30 minutes, remove, and dry with paper towels. Use fresh potatoes that stay firm during air-frying.

French fries are not crispy when they come out of the Brio.

• Crispiness depends on oil and water content in fries.

Solution: Dry potato sticks properly before adding oil. Cut potato sticks smaller and dry them for crispier results. Put slightly more oil on potatoes before placing them in the Brio.

If the Brio needs replacement or return, contact Nuwave Customer Service: support@nuwavenow.com
