CAUTION: When opening the glass door, be careful of steam. Keep your hands and face away from the opening.

NOTE: After cooking, the air fryer basket, rack, or pan will be extremely hot to the touch. Do not touch the surfaces of the basket, rack, or pan directly.

CLEANING & MAINTENANCE

The Air Fryer Oven should be cleaned thoroughly after every use.

1. Make sure the Power Cord is disconnected from the electrical outlet and that the appliance has cooled down before attempting to clean.
2. Do not use abrasive cleaners, as they will damage the finish. Simply wipe the exterior with a clean, damp cloth and dry thoroughly. Apply the cleansing agent to a cloth, not directly onto the oven, before cleaning.
3. To clean interior walls, use a damp cloth and a mild liquid soap solution or a spray solution on a sponge. Never use harsh abrasives or corrosive products. These could damage the oven surface. Never use steel wool pads, etc., on the interior of the oven.
4. Oven Rack, Baking Pan, Air Fryer Basket, and Crumb Tray should be hand-washed in hot, sudsy water or use a nylon scouring pad or nylon brush. They are NOT dishwasher safe.
5. After cooking greasy foods and after your oven has cooled, always clean the top interior of the oven. If this is done regularly, your oven will perform like new. Removing the grease will help to keep toasting consistent, cycle after cycle.
6. To remove crumbs, slide out the Crumb Tray and discard crumbs. Wipe clean and replace. To remove baked-on grease, soak the tray in hot, sudsy water or use nonabrasive cleaners. Never operate the oven without the Crumb Tray in place.
7. Any other servicing should be performed by an authorized service representative.

HINTS & TIPS

• Smaller cuts of food usually require a slightly shorter cooking time than larger cuts.
• A larger amount of food only requires a slightly longer cooking time, and a smaller amount of food only requires a slightly shorter cooking time.
• Stirring or shaking smaller foods mid-way through the cooking process will improve the result and can help cook more evenly.
• Adding a small amount of oil to fresh potatoes can result in a crispier result. Cook your ingredients in the air fryer for a few minutes after adding the oil.
• Do not air fry extremely greasy foods such as sausages in the air fryer.
• Snacks that can be prepared in an oven can also be prepared in the air fryer oven.
• The air fryer oven can also reheat food. To reheat foods, set the temperature to 300°F for up to 10 minutes.
• To cook frozen foods, add 3–5 minutes to your cook time.

HOMEMADE FRENCH FRIES:

• The optimum amount for air frying crispy fries is 17.5 oz. or a little over 1 lb.
• When making your own French fries, follow these steps:
• Peel potatoes and slice them into strips.
• Wash and dry them thoroughly.
• Mix potato strips in a bowl with 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil; make sure they are evenly coated.
• Using your hands or tongs, place the potato strips onto the frying rack.
