connect the Basket with the Outer Basket,
and slide the Outer Basket back
into the Unit.

the Outer Basket and Fry Basket from the Unit.
Gently shake the contents as needed and place
back in Unit to continue cooking. For heavier
foods, separate the Fry Basket from the Outer
Basket before shaking.
CAUTION: The Outer Basket will be hot.

excess oil that has collected on the bottom

lift the Fry Basket.
4. Shake ingredients.
5. Place the Fry Basket in the Outer Basket
and return it to the Unit to finish cooking.
Tips
• Add oil to the ingredients for a crispy result.
• Shaking ingredients halfway through
the cooking time optimizes the result
and can help prevent unevenly fried
ingredients. To shake the ingredients, pull
the Outer Basket out of the Unit by the handle
and shake it. Then, slide the Outer Basket
back into the Unit. Do not press the Basket
Release Button while shaking the Outer
Basket.
• Foods that are smaller in size usually require a
slightly shorter cooking time than larger ones.
• Large batches of food only require a slightly
longer cooking time than small quantities.
• Adding a bit of vegetable oil to fresh potatoes
is suggested for a crispier result. When adding
a little oil, do so just before cooking.
• Snacks normally cooked in an oven can
also be cooked in the Power AirFryer Elite.
• Use premade dough to prepare filled snacks
quickly and easily. Premade dough requires a
shorter cooking time than homemade dough.
• Place a baking tin or oven dish in the Fry
Basket when baking a cake or quiche
or when cooking fragile or stuffed foods.
• You can use the Power AirFryer Elite to
reheat foods. Simply set the temperature to
300° F for up to 10 mins.

are dishwasher safe. The Unit itself containing
the heating coil and electronics should never be
submersed in liquid of any kind or cleaned with
anything more than a hot, moist cloth or nonabrasive
