HOW TO USE (cont.)
14. Empty the contents of the Cooking Pan (7) into a bowl or onto a plate using non-metallic utensils.
NOTE: Wooden, heat-proof silicone or nylon utensils are recommended for use with this air fryer. Metal utensils may scratch the nonstick coating.
15. Turn off the Power Switch (11) and unplug the Power Cord (12) from wall outlet.
HELPFUL TIPS
Suggested cooking times and temperatures will vary depending on the quantity of ingredients used. The cook­ing pan has a nonstick coating, so it is not necessary to add additional oil to every dish. Keep in mind that it is best practice to season foods after they have been cooked to avoid scorching your dish.
Use the table on the next page to help select the best settings for the ingredients you’re preparing. Please not that this is only a guide; you will need to ensure your food is properly cooked before serving.
Save time and energy by toasting bagels, croissants, bread slices, French rolls and more. Set the temperature to 212°F and toast until desired darkness is achieved.

STIR means the recipe requires mixing the contents mid-way through cooking. You can do this by lifting the Glass Lid (5) using the Lid Handle (1), which will automatically pause the cooking process. Stir the contents using a non-metallic utensil. Cooking will resume after you close the lid. You can also stop the cooking process by pushing the START/STOP button. Push again to resume cooking.

the back of the unit.

Use smaller batches of food in the Cooking Pan (7) to cook more evenly.

Increase the time setting. Check “Cooking Time Chart” found in this manual.
Raw frozen foods should be thawed before
cooking in the air fryer. Exceptions to this
are pre-cooked frozen foods.
Foods that overlap inside the Cooking Pan (7) need to be stirred mid-way through cooking.
Use oven snacks or lightly brush some oil onto the snacks for a crispier result.
Do not overll the Cooking Pan (7).
When cooking with oily foods, oil will drain into the Cooking Pan (7). When the air fryer heats up, the pan heats up the oil and produces white smoke. This does not adversely affect the air fryer or your cooking process.
White smoke is caused by oil leftover in the Cooking Pan (7). Make sure to thoroughly clean the Cooking Pan (7) after every use.
Make sure to use fresh and rm potatoes, not frozen potatoes, for home-made French
fries.
Thoroughly rinse sliced potato to remove all starch prior to frying.
Potato strips need to be thoroughly dried before adding oil.
Slice potato strips thinner if you want them crispier.
Use a bit more oil on the potato strips prior to frying if you want crispier results.
