COOKING WITH YOUR AIR FRYER OVEN

CAUTION

The outer surface of the air fryer oven, including the oven door, is hot during and after use. The temperature may be over 212°F. Do not touch hot surfaces. Use the handle.
Always use heat-resistant gloves, pads, or oven mitts when handling hot materials and when placing items in or removing items from the air fryer oven.

Using the Trays

Three trays are included with your air fryer oven: the food tray, air fryer tray, and drip tray. The cooking functions require different trays, so make sure to use the correct tray. Follow the recipe instructions or the suggestions given in each function section.

Always make sure the drip tray is properly in place at the bottom of the air fryer oven when cooking. [Figure 1.2] The drip tray is not intended for cooking food on.

Tray Positions

Each cooking function has a recommended tray position with slots that you can slide a tray into (the food tray or air fryer tray). The standard recommended positions are indicated on the front of the air fryer oven [Figure 1.3]. The four positions are numbered 1, 2, 3, and 4, from top to bottom.

Cooking Greasy Foods

When cooking with oil or air frying greasy food such as beef, chicken, or pork, place the air fryer tray on the food tray (or insert the food tray underneath the air fryer tray) to prevent oil from dripping on the heating elements. [Figure 1.4]

Rotisserie Handle

The rotisserie handle is used to place the rotisserie basket or fork set into the rotisserie slots in the air fryer oven. [Figure 1.5] The handle is also used to remove the rotisserie basket and fork set after cooking is finished.

Rotisserie Basket

The rotisserie basket is used for air frying small foods, such as french fries, nuggets, or Brussels sprouts.

Press the wire latch to open the door on the side of the rotisserie basket. [Figure 1.6]
Place food inside the basket and close the door.
Use the rotisserie handle to place the basket inside the air fryer oven, securing both ends of the rotisserie shaft into the rotisserie slots.

Rotisserie Fork Set

The rotisserie fork set is used for rotating roasts and is ideal for roasting a whole chicken. Do not cook more than 4 pounds at a time on the rotisserie fork set.

Slide the food item onto the rotisserie shaft.
Place the rotisserie forks on either side of the shaft and insert them into the food item to secure it on the shaft. Tighten the knobs on the forks to secure them. [Figure 1.7] Note: When cooking a rotisserie chicken, secure the legs and wings with butcher’s twine so they do not hang loosely as the chicken rotates.
Use the rotisserie handle to place the food item inside the air fryer oven, securing both ends of the rotisserie shaft into the rotisserie slots.

CARE & MAINTENANCE

Clean air fryer oven accessories (including trays, etc.) and air fryer oven interior after every use.

Before cleaning, turn off and unplug the air fryer oven and allow it to cool completely. Open the door for faster cooling.
Apply non-abrasive liquid cleanser or a mild spray solution to a soft, damp cloth or sponge (not the air fryer oven surface) and wipe all parts of the air fryer oven, especially the air fryer oven interior. Do not use a dry cloth on the display screen, or it may be scratched.
To clean the glass door, use a glass cleaner or mild detergent and a soft, damp sponge or soft, plastic scouring pad.
Let all surfaces dry completely before plugging in or turning on the air fryer oven.

Cleaning the Accessories

Apply non-abrasive liquid cleanser or a mild spray solution to a soft, damp sponge or soft, plastic scouring pad (not the accessory surface). Wipe the accessories and soak them in warm, soapy water if necessary.
For stubborn grease:
- In a small bowl, mix 2 US tbsp / 30 mL of baking soda with 1 US tbsp / 15 mL of water to form a spreadable paste.
- Use a sponge to spread the paste on the trays and scrub. Let the trays sit for 15 minutes before rinsing.
- Wash trays with soap and water.
Dry thoroughly.
Replace the drip tray into the air fryer oven before plugging in or turning on the air fryer oven.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Problem: The air fryer oven will not turn on.
- Possible Solution:
- Make sure the air fryer oven is plugged in.
Problem: Food is not completely cooked.
- Increase cooking temperature or time.
Problem: Food is overcooked or burned.
- Possible Solution:

Problem: White smoke or steam is coming out of the oven.
- Possible Solution:

- During first use, dust from the packing process may cause white smoke. This is normal for toaster air fryers and many other kitchen appliances. To eliminate any dust, see Test Run (page 12).
- Excess oil or fatty foods may produce white smoke. Make sure the inside of the air fryer oven is cleaned properly and isn’t greasy.
Problem: A thermometer shows that the air fryer oven temperature is different from the air fryer oven setting.

- Commonly used thermometers usually have low sensitivity and take over 10 minutes to measure the correct temperature. This will not affect cooking.
Problem: The display shows Error Code “E1”.
- Possible Solution:
- There is an open circuit in the temperature monitor. Contact Customer Support (see page 31).
Problem: The display shows Error Code “E2”.
- Possible Solution:

Problem: The display shows Error Code “E4”.
- Possible Solution:
