AIR FRYING TECHNIQUE

1. Please consult the Air Frying Chart and/or follow package instructions for suggested TIME and TEMPERATURE.
2. To assure even cooking/browning, ALWAYS open the frying basket halfway through the cooking time and check, turn or shake foods in the frying basket. Adjust TIME or TEMPERATURE if needed.
   WARNING: Extreme caution must be used when handling the hot frying basket and crisping tray. Avoid escaping steam from the frying 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 drawer. To avoid the risk of burns or personal injury or to avoid oil from contaminating air-fried foods, always unlock and remove the frying basket from the drawer before emptying. NEVER turn the drawer upside down with the frying basket attached.
3. If additional air frying is needed, adjust TEMPERATURE if desired, and set TIME for 2 to 5-minute intervals until fully cooked.
4. Once the timer reaches 00:00, a tone will sound, and END will be displayed.
5. To turn the air fryer OFF at any time, simply press the POWER button.
   WARNING! ALWAYS USE A MEAT THERMOMETER TO ENSURE THAT MEAT, POULTRY, AND FISH ARE COOKED THOROUGHLY BEFORE EATING.
6. If the recipe instructions instruct, allow cooked foods to rest for 5 to 10 minutes. Remove the frying basket from the machine and place on a flat, heat-resistant surface.
7. Use tongs or a long fork to transfer the air-fried foods onto a serving plate. Promptly place the frying basket into the front of the air Fryer. Continue with subsequent batches, if any.
8. Unplug the Air fryer when not in use.

FOR BEST RESULTS

1. Use your air fryer to cook pre-packaged foods with a fraction of the oil in a fraction of the time!
2. Always check food halfway through cooking time to determine final cook time and temperature.
3. Always pat food dry before cooking to encourage browning and avoid excess smoke.
4. To avoid excess smoke when cooking naturally high-fat foods, such as chicken wings or sausages, it may be necessary to empty fat from the frying basket drawer between batches.
5. For crispier results, 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.
6. Arrange breaded food in a frying basket so that food is not touching to allow air flow on all surfaces.
7. Spray olive oil or vegetable oil work best as oil is distributed evenly and less oil is needed.
8. Do not overfill the frying basket with food. NEVER fill any frying basket more than 2/3 full. When air frying fresh vegetables, we do not recommend adding more than 3 cups of food to the frying basket

CARE & CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING! Allow the Air fryer to cool fully before cleaning.

1. Unplug the Air Fryer. Remove the frying basket. Make sure the frying basket and crisping tray have cooled completely before cleaning. Use the center hole of the crisping tray to lift the crisping tray up and out of the frying basket.
2. Wash the frying basket and crisping tray in hot, soapy water. Do not use metal kitchen utensils or abrasive cleansers or cleaning products as this may damage the coating.
3. Wipe the air fryer body with a soft, non-abrasive damp cloth to clean.
