Important Fryer Guidelines
♦ Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.
♦ To ensure proper cooking and air circulation, do not ll the basket more than ¾ full.
Overfilling could prevent the basket assembly from sliding into the air fryer or result in
food being sheared off.
♦ This air fryer is not suitable for preparing food with a high-liquid content, such as soups
and sauces, and should not be used to boil water.
♦ The timer will continue to count down, the motor will continue to run, and the element
will continue to heat when the basket assembly is removed.
Before First Use
Before using the Presto AirDaddy electric air fryer for the first time, become familiar
with the various parts of the air fryer (Fig. A) and read the instructions carefully. Remove
all packaging from the air fryer. Wash the air fryer according to the “Care and Cleaning”
instructions on page 7. Never immerse the air fryer or plug in water or other liquid.
To remove the basket assembly from the air fryer, grasp the handle and pull the assembly
towards you. Be sure not to press the release button on the top of the handle. To separate
the basket from the pan, grasp the handle, press the basket release button, and lift the basket
straight up and out of the pan (Fig. B).
To reinsert the basket, grasp the handle. Line up the tabs on the sides of the semi-circular
portion of the handle with the grooves in the semi-circular cut-out on the front of the pan.
Lower the basket until it clicks in place (Fig. C).

How to Use
Check the rubber pads on the bottom of the air fryer base before each use to be sure they
are free of oil or other debris. If needed, wipe with a warm, soapy cloth and dry thoroughly.
1. Position the air fryer on a clean, dry, level, and stable surface in the center of the countertop, away from combustible materials. Always make sure air fryer and cord are
out of reach of children.
2. Do not cover the air inlet or outlet vents or put anything on top of the air fryer. This
disrupts the airflow, affects the final cooking results, and may cause fryer to overheat.
3. Remove the basket assembly from the air fryer by firmly grasping the basket handle,
pulling it toward you, and then sliding the assembly out of the unit. Place it on the
countertop. Do not fill the pan with oil or any other liquid. Never use the basket
assembly without the basket in it.
4. Fill the basket up to ¾ full with food. Do not overfill.
5. Slide the basket assembly back into the air fryer. Plug cord into a 120VAC electrical
wall outlet only.
6. Turn the temperature control knob to the desired temperature in the selected recipe or
the Cooking Guide on pages 8–9.
7. Turn the timer control knob to the time recommended in the recipe or the Cooking
Guide on pages 8–9. The heating element will energize and the red signal light will
illuminate. It is normal for steam to escape from the sides of the fryer during cooking.
NOTE: When using the air fryer for the first time, a slight odor or light smoking may
occur as manufacturing residue evaporates. This is normal.
8. When the set time has expired, the timer will ding once and the air fryer will stop heating. Allow prepared food to rest 5 to 10 seconds before removing the basket assembly.
9. Grasping the handle, carefully slide the basket assembly out of the air fryer to make sure
food is golden brown. Do not touch the basket or pan as they get hot during use.
If additional cooking time is needed, slide the basket assembly back into the air fryer
and reset the timer to the desired time. To cook 4 minutes or less, rotate the timer
control knob past “5” and then back to the desired time. This will activate the heating
element and timer.

10. Once the food is done, slide the basket assembly out of the air fryer and place it on
a heat-resistant surface, such as a cooling rack. Press the basket release button and
separate the basket from the assembly. Empty prepared food on to a serving plate and
season to taste.
11. If preparing additional food, repeat steps 4 through 9. When cooking is complete, turn
the timer control knob to “0” (OFF) and remove the plug from the wall outlet. Allow
the air fryer to cool completely before cleaning.
Helpful Hints
♦ In most instances, it is not necessary to preheat your air fryer. However, preheating for
4 to 5 minutes will result in a better quality product for foods that are baked, such as
muffins, cakes, and cupcakes.
♦ For the best results and most even browning, cut food into pieces of equal size and
thickness and place in a single layer in the basket.
♦ The air fryer can be used for baking many wonderful foods. The use of accessory pans
or tins will be necessary for baking.
▪ Use individual muffin tins, oven safe glass custard cups, or ceramic ramekins for
baking muffins, cupcakes, or egg dishes.
▪ Use disposable or permanent loaf-type pans measuring no more than 8 x 3⅞ inches
when baking cakes or quick breads.
▪ Use a 6-inch pie pan or tart pan for pies, tarts, and quiches.
After filling the accessory pans or tins, position them in the basket.
♦ Frozen fries do not require oil because they have been partially fried before freezing.
♦ For the best results when making fries from scratch, follow these suggestions:
▪ Begin with the right potato. Baking-type potatoes, such as russet, will yield a fluffier,
drier fry. Do not refrigerate potatoes as that will make the fries soggier.
▪ Soak the cut potatoes for at least 30 minutes before cooking. After soaking, drain
potatoes and pat dry with paper towels.
▪ Spray cut potatoes with cooking oil spray or coat with ½–1 tablespoon of vegetable
oil before cooking.
▪ Fill the basket with no more than 1 pound of fries.
▪ Shake basket twice during cooking.
♦ When cooking naturally high-fat foods, such as chicken wings, the basket assembly
may become hotter than usual. This does not affect cooking results. To avoid excess
smoke, empty any oil or grease that has collected in the pan between batches and clean
the entire basket assembly after each use.
♦ Do not overfill the basket. Foods will be crispier and cook more evenly when there is
plenty of room in which the air can circulate. Most foods cook better when a single
layer of food is placed in the basket.
♦ Always pat food dry. This will allow for better browning and a crispier exterior.
♦ If desired, foods can be coated with breading. Be sure to firmly press the breading onto
the food. To aid in getting the breading to adhere to the food, first dip the food into
a mixture of 1 beaten egg and ½ cup milk. Coat with panko bread crumbs. You may
also mix 1 tablespoon of oil into the bread crumbs before pressing them onto the food.
♦ Many foods require shaking or flipping halfway through cooking to ensure more even
cooking and browning. To shake or flip food, remove the basket assembly from the air
fryer, shake or flip food, and then slide the assembly back into place. Do not press the
basket release button during shaking.
♦ If the basket assembly is too heavy for shaking food, you may release the basket from
the pan by pressing the basket release button and lifting the basket out of the pan. Shake
the basket and then return it to the pan. Slide the basket assembly back into place.
♦ The timer may be set as a reminder to shake food. However, once food has been shaken,
reset the timer for the remaining cooking time.
♦ Use pre-made dough to prepare filled snacks quickly and easily. Pre-made dough has
a shorter cooking time than homemade dough.
♦ Snacks that can be prepared in the oven can also be prepared in the air fryer. As a general
rule, lower the cooking temperature by 25ºF and reduce the cooking time 3–5 minutes.
♦ Your favorite recipe may be adapted to the AirDaddy air fryer by using the cooking
times provided in the Cooking Guide on pages 8–9 or using one of the recipes on pages
10–15 as a guide for determining the appropriate time and temperature.
♦ The air fryer can be turned off at any time by turning the timer control knob to “0.”
Care and Cleaning
1. After the air fryer has cooled completely, carefully slide the basket assembly out of
the air fryer. Separate the basket from the assembly following the instructions in the
“Before First Use” section on page 4.
2. Wash the entire basket assembly (the pan and basket) in warm, soapy water. For any
stuck on food residue, it will be helpful to soak the basket in hot, soapy water before
cleaning. Rinse and dry thoroughly. A brush may be needed to thoroughly clean residue
from the basket. Do not use steel wool scouring pads or abrasive kitchen cleaners.
It is not recommended that any part of the air fryer be washed in the dishwasher.
3. The outside surface of the air fryer can be wiped clean with a moist cloth. Do not use
steel wool scouring pads or abrasive kitchen cleaners. Never immerse the air fryer
or plug in water or other liquid.
4. Once the air fryer has been cleaned, the cord can be wrapped and secured on the tab
located on the back of the unit for convenient storage.
5. Any maintenance required for this product, other than normal household care and cleaning, should be performed by an authorized service representative.
