14. Use extreme caution when removing tray or disposing of hot grease.

Notes on the Plug

This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug will fit in 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 modify the plug in any way.

Notes on the Cord

1. A short power-supply cord (or detachable power-supply cord) is to be provided to reduce the risk resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
2. Longer detachable power-supply cords or extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use.
3. If a long detachable power-supply cord or extension cord is used:
   1. The marked electrical rating of the cord or extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance;
   2. If the appliance is of the grounded type, the extension cord should be a grounding-type 3-wire cord.
   3. The longer cord should be arranged so that it does not drape over the countertop or table top where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally.

Plasticizer Warning

CAUTION: To prevent Plasticizers from migrating from the finish of the counter top or table top or other furniture, place NON-PLASTIC coasters or place mats between the appliance and the finish of the counter top or table top. Failure to do so may cause the finish to darken; permanent blemishes may occur or stains can appear.

Electric Power

If the electrical circuit is overloaded with other appliances, your appliance may not operate properly. It should be operated on a separate electrical circuit from other appliances.

Air Fry Technique

Please consult the Air Fry / Roast Cooking Chart and/or follow package directions for suggested TIME and TEMP.

1. Always pat food dry before cooking to encourage browning and avoid excess smoke.
2. To assure even cooking/browning, ALWAYS open the active basket halfway through the cook time and check, turn or shake foods in the fryer basket. Some recipes may call to brush or spray oil halfway through cooking. Adjust TEMP or TIME if needed.

   WARNING: Extreme caution must be used when handling any hot fryer basket or TurboCrisp™ tray. Avoid escaping steam from the fryer basket and the food.

   CAUTION: Always use oven mitts when handling the hot air fryer basket.

   CAUTION: Hot oil can collect at the base of the basket. Use caution when removing cooking foods.

3. To avoid excess smoke, when cooking naturally high fat foods, such as bacon, chicken wings or sausages, it may be necessary to empty fat from the fryer basket between batches.
4. To ensure crispiness, make sure the skin or exterior surface of your food is dry! Air fry small batches of freshly breaded foods. Create more surface area by cutting food into smaller pieces. Press breading onto food to help it adhere. Refrigerate breaded foods for at least 30 minutes before frying.
5. To improve crispiness, dust poultry skin or exterior surface lightly with corn starch. Spray with oil.
6. Arrange breaded food in fryer basket so that food is not touching to allow air flow on all surfaces.
7. Spray oils work best. Oil is distributed evenly and less oil is needed. Canola, olive, avocado, coconut, grapeseed, peanut, or vegetable oil work well.
8. Shake air fried foods out onto serving area. Promptly insert any fryer basket into Air Fryer body and lock into place. Continue air frying subsequent batches, if any.
9. Press REHEAT to air fry food for 6 minutes at 250 °F. Simply pull out the active basket to interrupt air frying at any time to check on food serving temperature. Repeat to extend cook time until food is heated to your liking.
10. Unplug the Air Fryer when not in use.

Air Frying Pre-Packaged Frozen Foods

• As a rule, depending on the food and amount to be cooked, suggested cook posted cook TIMES may have to be reduced slightly. Always check food halfway through cooking time to determine final cook TIME and TEMP.
• Always check cooking progress after TIME has expired.

Hints for Roast

IMPORTANT! Consult the USDA Cooking Guidelines section of this instruction manual before cooking begins. Always test meat using an accurate cooking thermometer.

• A meat thermometer inserted into the center of the meat should always be used to ensure desired doneness.
• Cook meats to 5 to 10 degrees below desired doneness (internal temperature). Allow meat to stand 15 to 20 minutes before serving. The temperature will continue to rise while standing.
• ROAST large, tender cuts of meat and poultry. Seasoning prior to cooking adds to the flavor and the aroma during cooking.
• A layer of fat on the top of the roast promotes better browning and provides natural basting.
• To speed up browning, brush lean cuts of meat, chicken and fish with oil, margarine or melted butter.
• Place meat (fat side up) and turn over half-way through ROAST time.

IMPORTANT: Turn and check food halfway through ROAST time.

Hints for Bake

• When using BAKE, you may need to lower the bake recipe temperature by 50 °F to a minimum of 300 °F.
• Check package directions to determine if the container is suitable for use in an Air Fryer.

Air Fry / Roast Cooking Chart

Times are estimated and based on average sizes and weights.

ALWAYS USE A MEAT THERMOMETER TO ENSURE THAT MEAT, POULTRY AND FISH ARE COOKED THOROUGHLY BEFORE SERVING.

NOTE: Frying smaller batches will result in shorter cooking times and higher food quality. Adjust air frying TEMP and TIME as necessary to suit your taste.

NOTE: Unless food is pre-packaged and pre-oiled, for browned and crispy results, all foods should be lightly oiled before air frying.
