6. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
THE AIR FRYER NEEDS TO BE FULLY CLOSED TO COOK PROPERLY, BUT THE UNIT WILL
CONTINUE TO COOK EVEN IF LEFT SLIGHTLY AJAR. THIS IS NOT A DESIGN FEATURE, AND
IS AN UNSAFE WAY TO COOK. WE ENCOURAGE YOU TO ENSURE THE BASKET IS CLOSED
AND LOCKED IN DURING USE TO ENSURE COOKING QUALITY AND TO PROTECT YOUR
SAFETY.
1.
Please refer to the Air Frying Chart and/or follow the package directions for the
suggested cooking
TIME
and
TEMP
.
2.
Always pat food dry before cooking to encourage browning and avoid excess
smoke.
3.
To ensure even cooking and browning,
ALWAYS
open the basket drawer halfway
through the cook time and check, turn or shake foods in the frying basket. Some
recipes may need you to brush or spray oil halfway through cooking. Adjust the
TIME
or
TEMP
if needed.
CAUTION:
• ALWAYS USE OVEN MITTS WHEN HANDLING THE HOT AIR FRYER BASKET.
•
MAKE SURE THE CLEAR BASKET LOCK IS IN THE LOCKED POSITION WHEN
SHAKING FOODS. DO NOT PRESS THE BASKET RELEASE BUTTON WHILE
SHAKING THE FRYING BASKET BECAUSE IT CAN DAMAGE THE BASKET
AND THE UNIT.
•
HOT OIL CAN POOL AT THE BASE OF THE DRAWER. TO AVOID RISK OF
BURNS OR PERSONAL INJURY AND TO AVOID OIL FROM CONTAMINATING
AIR FRIED FOODS, ALWAYS ENSURE YOU UNLOCK AND REMOVE THE
FRYING BASKET FROM THE DRAWER BEFORE YOU EMPTY IT. NEVER TURN
THE DRAWER UPSIDE DOWN WHILE THE FRYING BASKET IS ATTACHED.
4.
Allow cooked food to rest for 5 to 10 minutes. Remove the basket from the machine
and place on a flat, heat resistant surface. Then remove the air flow tray from the
basket.
5.
Shake air fried foods out onto serving area. Return the airflow tray to the basket and
lock basket into place. Continue air frying subsequent batches, if any.
6.
To avoid excess smoke, when cooking naturally high fat foods, such as bacon,
chicken wings or sausages, it may be necessary to empty fat from the frying basket
between batches.
7.
For crispier results, air fry small batches of freshly bread crumbed food. Create
more surface area by cutting food into smaller pieces. Bathe pieces of meat in egg
and milk and then press bread crumbs onto the meat.
8.
Arrange crumbed food in frying basket so that it is not touching to allow air flow on
all surfaces.
9.
Spray oils work best because oil is distributed evenly and less oil is needed. Canola,
olive, avocado, coconut, grapeseed, peanut, or vegetable oil all work well.
10.
Unplug the Air Fryer when not in use.
