SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

Electrical Information

A short power-supply cord (or detachable power-supply cord) is provided to reduce the risk of becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. Longer detachable power-supply cords or extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use. If a longer detachable power supply cord or extension cord is used

1. The marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance.
2. The longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it could be pulled on or tripped over.
3. The appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug is intended to fit into 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 attempt to modify the plug in any way. If the appliance is of the grounded type, the cord set or extension cord should be a grounding-type 3-wire cord.

1. Too many ingredients were used.
2. The cooking temperature is too low.
3. The cooking time is too short. Remove some ingredients from the Brio; smaller batches air-fry more evenly. Cook at a higher temperature. Set the Brio to air-fry for a longer time.

The food is fried unevenly

1. Certain types of ingredients need to be shaken or flipped halfway through the cooking process.

Fried snacks are not crispy when they come out of the Brio

1. The type of snack used was meant to be prepared in a traditional deep fryer. Use snacks designed to be baked in a traditional oven, or lightly brush some oil onto the snacks before placing them into Brio for crispier results.

White smoke is coming out of the Brio

1. Frying greasy foods may cause white smoke to appear.
2. The Rack contains greasy residue from previous uses. When preparing greasy ingredients in the air fryer, substantial amounts of oil can smoke and infiltrate the Brio. The oil will produce white smoke and the Brio might become hotter than usual. This will not affect the final cooking result. White smoke is caused by grease heating up in the Brio. Make sure you clean the Riser and Rack properly after each use.

French fries are fried unevenly in the Brio

1. You did not soak the potato sticks properly before air-frying them.
2. You did not use the right potato type, or they were not fresh. Soak the potato sticks in a bowl of water for at least 30 minutes, remove them, and dry them with paper towels. Use fresh potatoes and make sure they stay firm during airfrying.

French fries are not crispy when they come out of the Brio

1. The crispiness of the fries depends on the amount of oil and water in the fries. Make sure you dry the potato sticks properly before adding oil. Cut the potato sticks smaller and dry them for a crispier result. Put slightly more oil on the potatoes before placing them in the Brio for crispier results.
   If the Brio needs to be replaced or returned to the manufacturer, please contact NuWave LLC Customer Service.
