Using Two Zones Using a Single Zone

Not worried about both zones finishing at the same time and want to shorten cook time?

When Smart Finish or Match Cook are not selected, technology is integrated into the

design to automatically optimize the distribution of power when manually selecting two

zones with dierent cook times. This means the food in the zone with the longer cook time

may finish cooking before the set time ends. Check food frequently to avoid overcooking.

STEP 1: Program Zone 1

• Place food in baskets.

• The unit defaults to Zone 1.

• Turn the dial to select a cooking
function (e.g., AIR FRY).

STEP 2: Set Time & Temperature

• Use the TEMP arrows to set the temperature.

• Use the TIME arrows to set the time.

STEP 3: Program Zone 2

Only cooking one thing?

Fill a single zone and use it like a traditional air fryer.

STEP 1: Program Zone 1

• Place food in basket.

• The unit defaults to Zone 1.

• Turn the dial to select a cooking
function (e.g., AIR FRY).

NOTE: If you would like to cook in Zone 2 only,
first select Zone 2, then select a function.

STEP 2: Set Time & Temperature

• Use the TEMP arrows to set the temperature.

• Use the TIME arrows to set the time.

• Repeat Steps 1 and 2 for Zone 2.

+

STEP 4: Begin Cooking

• Press center of dial to begin cooking.

• Check food frequently to avoid overcooking.

NOTE: For best results, start checking food for doneness before cook time ends. Stop
cooking at any time if the desired level of crispiness has been achieved, but make sure any
raw proteins have reached a food-safe temperature.
