Air fryer

Get started

Initial setup

1. Pull that Vortex Mini out of the box!
2. Remove the air fryer basket and check the cooking chamber for loose packing material before first use. Don’t remove the silicone supports from the removable cooking tray.
3. You may be tempted to put the air fryer on your stovetop — but don’t do it! Place it on a stable, level surface, away from combustible material and external heat sources. Do not place your air fryer on top of another appliance. Make sure to leave at least 13 cm / 5″ of space above and around all sides of the appliance.
4. Follow the Care, cleaning, and storage instructions to wash your new air fryer before using it.

Initial test run

• Do you have to do the test run? No — but getting to know the ins and outs of your Vortex Mini prepares you for success in the kitchen! Take a few minutes to get to know how this little guy works.

Stage 1: Setting up the air fryer for cooking

1. Connect the power cord to a 120 V power source. The air fryer is in standby mode and the display shows OFF.
2. Remove the air fryer basket from the cooking chamber.
3. Place the cooking tray on the bottom of the air fryer basket (if it is not already installed).
4. Insert the air fryer basket back into the cooking chamber.
5. Touch Air Fry.
6. Touch Time, then turn the dial to adjust the cook time to 20 minutes (00:20).

Stage 2: “Cooking” (…but not really, this is just a test!)

1. When the air fryer is hot enough, the display shows Add Food. For this initial test, do not add food to the air fryer basket. Carefully remove and reinsert the air
   fryer basket. The display shows the cooking time and temperature, and the cooking status shows Cook.
2. Part way through cooking, the display shows turn Food. Wait 10 seconds for the program to resume automatically, or, remove and reinsert the air fryer basket to pause and resume the program manually.
3. When 1 minute remains, the display counts down the remaining cooking time in seconds. When the Smart Program is completed, the display shows End and the fan blows for a little while to help cool the air fryer.
4. Press the dial or remove and re-insert the air fryer basket to return to standby mode and start cooking for real!
