TIPS AND HINTS

AIRFRY

TIP: For best results, use the provided Air Fryer Basket fitted into the Baking/Drip Pan.
Air Fry can be used at 200°F – 450°F (95°C – 230°C) for up to 1 hour. This function is used to Air Fry foods as a healthy alternative to deep frying in oil. A high fan speed and multiple heating elements circulate hot air to prepare a variety of foods that can be both delicious and healthier than traditional frying.

traditional frying.
Default: 400°F (200°C); 10 minutes.
Many foods that can be fried can also be Air Fried without using excess amounts of oil. Air Fried foods will taste lighter and be less greasy than deep-fried foods.
Air Frying doesn’t require oil, but a light coating can enhance browning and crispiness. Use an oil sprayer or a nonstick olive oil cooking spray to keep it extra light, a pastry brush to evenly coat, or pour a little oil into a bowl, add food, and toss.
Most oils can be used for Air Frying. Olive oil is preferred for a richer flavour. Vegetable, canola or grapeseed oils are recommended for milder flavours.
An assortment of coatings can be used on AirFried foods. Some examples of different crumb mixtures include: breadcrumbs, seasoned breadcrumbs, panko breadcrumbs, crushed cornflakes, potato chips, and graham crackers. Various flours, including gluten-free, and other dry foods like cornmeal work as well.
Most foods do not need to be flipped during cooking, but larger items, like chicken cutlets, should be turned halfway through the cooking cycle to ensure evenly-cooked and browned results.
When Air Frying large quantities of food that fill the pan, toss food halfway through the cooking cycle to ensure even cooking results and colour.
Foods will cook more evenly if they are cut into the same-size pieces.
Please note that many foods release water as they cook. When cooking large quantities for an extended period of time, condensation may build up, which could leave moisture on your countertop

The chart below lists recommended amounts, cooking times and temperatures for various types of food that can be Air Fried in the Cuisinart® Digital Air Fryer Toaster
Oven. If portions exceed recommendations, you can toss occasionally while cooking to ensure the crispiest, most even results. Smaller amounts of food may require less time. For best Air Fry results, use the oven light to periodically check on food.
NOTE: When Air Frying, always use the Air Fryer Basket with the Baking/Drip Pan. For all foods below, we suggest using the middle position (Position 2) for best results.

AIRFRYER CHART

Food	Recommended Amount	Temperature	Time
Bacon	1 pound (454 g), about 12 to 16 slices	400ºF (200°C)	10 to 12 minutes
Chicken Wings	3 pounds (1 .36 kg), about 30 wings (max 4 pounds [1 .8 kg])
400ºF (200°C)	25 to 35 minutes
Frozen Appetizers (e .g ., mozzarella sticks, popcorn shrimp, etc .)	11/2
pounds (680 g), about 20 frozen mozzarella sticks	400ºF (200°C)	5 to 10

NOTE: Air Frying doesn’t require oil, but a light coating can enhance browning and crispiness. Use an oil sprayer or a nonstick olive oil cooking spray to keep it extra light, a pastry brush to evenly coat, or pour a little oil into a bowl, add food, and toss.

USING AIRFRYER PRESETS

In addition to being able to program the temperature and time for Air Frying, the Cuisinart® Digital Airfare Toaster Oven has convenient, easy-to-use presets for your fried favorites—French fries, chicken wings, chicken nuggets, snacks, and vegetables. To use Airfare presets, follow these steps:

these steps:

Press the AirFry button or scroll through function menu and select AirFry.
Turn Function Dial to scroll through preset functions. When desired preset is flashing, press Function Dial to confirm selection.
Preset temperature and time will display.
a. To use displayed settings, press Start/Stop to begin.
b. To change settings, see General Operation on page 6.

NOTE: Most presets can be used with frozen or fresh foods. See below for details:

Fries Default is for frozen fries. Fresh is for hand-cut potatoes.
Wings Default is for fresh chicken wings. Frozen setting is intended for uncooked frozen chicken wings.
Nuggets Default is for frozen precooked nuggets. Fresh setting is for uncooked nuggets.
Snacks Default is for frozen precooked snacks.
Vegetables Default is for fresh vegetables.

NOTE: Fan speed cannot be changed for AirFryer presets; it is always on High.

TOAST

Toast shade can be set from 1 to 7 using 1 to 9 slices. This function is used to toast bread and other items; both fresh and frozen items can be used.

Default: Shade 4; 3 to 4 slices; no Defrost
For best results and more evenly-toasted items:
– If toasting two pieces, center them in the middle of the oven rack
– Four pieces should be evenly spaced—two in front, two in back
– Six pieces should be evenly spaced—three in front, three in back
If toast is lighter than you like, time can be added by turning the Time/Temp Dial before toasting is complete
Shade Guide: Light (1, 2) • Medium (3, 4, 5) • Dark (6, 7)

WARNING: Always use Position 2 for toasting. Do not use rack in Position 3 as this may result in burning.

BAGEL

Bagel shade can be set from 1 to 7 using 1 to 9 slices. This function provides full heat on the top and half heat on the bottom to toast both sides of fresh or frozen bagel halves.

Default: Shade 4; 3 to 4 slices; no Defrost
For best results, put bagels on the rack with the cut sides facing up
If bagels are too light, time can be added by turning the Time/Temp Dial before toasting is complete.

BAKE

Bake can be used at 200°F – 450°F (95°C – 230°C) for up to 2 hours. Baking is recommended for a variety of foods you would normally prepare in a conventional oven.

Default: 350°F (180°C); 30 minutes
Select Bake with Low fan speed (i.e., no fan icon displaying on screen) for more delicate items like custards and eggs, as well as most baked goods, like cookies, muffins, and cakes
Select Bake with High fan speed, also known as Convection Bake (i.e., fan icon displaying on screen), for most baked goods that require even browning and leavening, like heartier baked goods and breads
When using either fan speed, cooking times and temperatures may need to be reduced—start checking foods about 5 to 10 minutes before the end of the suggested cooking time
Important: All of our recipes were specially developed for the Cuisinart®Digital AirFryer Toaster Oven and have been tested in the Cuisinart Test Kitchen

BROIL

Broil is fixed to cook at 450ºF (230°C) for up to 2 hours. Broiling function can beused for beef, chicken, pork, fish, and more. It also can be used to top-brown casseroles and gratins.

Default: 450°F (230°C); 5 minutes
For best results, use the provided AirFryer Basket fitted into the Baking/Drip Pan to broil
Never use glass oven dishes to broil
Be sure to keep an eye on food as items can brown quickly when broiling

PIZZA

Pizza can be used at 350ºF – 450ºF (180°C – 230°C) for up to 2 hours. This function can be used to cook fresh or frozen pizza.

Default: Fresh – 450°F (230°C); 10 minutes Convection (High speed) fan Frozen – 400°F (200°C); 10 minutes Convection (High speed) fan
For best results, place frozen pizza on rack in Position 1, and for fresh pizza, place the dough directly on the Baking/Drip Pan in rack Position 1
Pizza can also be cooked on the pizza stone available for purchase at www.cuisinart.cam
Pizza recipe ideas can also be found on the Cuisinart website

ROAST

Roast can be used at 200ºF – 450ºF (95°C – 230°C) for up to 2 hours.

Default: 375°F (190°C); 45 minutes
High fan speed works well with Roast. Roasting time is significantly reduced, and meats and poultry are perfectly cooked – browned on the outside, moist and juicy on the inside
Dress up vegetables by roasting them. As they caramelize, they become sweet and delicious
Because some foods roast faster, begin checking progress at least 5 to 10 minutes before the end of suggested cooking time

DEHYDRATE

Dehydrate can be used at 100°F – 200°F (40°C – 95°C) for up to 72 hours. This function turns your Cuisinart® Digital AirFryer Toaster Oven into a dehydrator that lets you dry or dehydrate food. The built-in fan and low heat are used to create a flow of hot air that reduces the water content found in fresh foods. Dehydrated food will continue to retain the vast majority of its original nutritional value.

Default: 130°F (54°C); 2 hours
Lemon juice can be used to pretreat fruits and vegetables to prevent browning
Drying times can vary greatly due to the thickness of cuts and relative humidity (see chart on page 11)
Check foods often for dryness
Do not overcrowd. Foods should be arranged in a single layer with little to no overlap

PROOF

Proof can be used at 80°F – 100°F (27°C – 40°C) for up to 2 hours.Use this function to proof bread or pizza dough.

Default: 90°F (32°C); 45 minutes
Place freshly made dough ball into a stainless-steel or glass mixing bowl and cover loosely with plastic wrap. Place into oven in position 1 and select the Proof default setting
Dough is ready when doubled in size. Start checking around 20 minutes
Shape dough and place on the Baking/Drip Pan or separate baking dish such as a loaf pan, cover loosely with plastic wrap, then place directly in the oven in Position 1
Once time elapses, complete dough preparation and bake according to recipe

SLOW COOK

Slow Cook can be used in either the High or Low setting. Slow cook setting is recommended for foods that require longer cooking times at lower temperatures.

Default: Lo – 6 hours Hi – 2 hours
For slow-cooked dishes with crispy exteriors and soft interiors, place ingredients directly on the Baking/Drip Pan
For results that are most similar to recipes cooked in a slow cooker, place ingredients into a covered, ovenproof dish with liquid coming up one-third of the way The chart below lists recommendations on how to dehydrate different foods. These are guidelines only. Drying times can vary due to thickness of cuts and relative humidity.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Always unplug the oven from the electrical outlet and allow it to cool completely before cleaning.
Do not use abrasive cleaners, as they will damage the finish. Simply wipe the exterior with a clean, damp cloth and dry thoroughly. Apply the cleansing agent to a cloth, not directly onto the oven, before cleaning.
To clean interior walls, use a damp cloth and a mild liquid soap solution or a spray solution on a sponge. Remove any residue from cleaners with a clean, damp cloth. Never use harsh abrasives or corrosive products. These could damage the oven surface. Never use steel wool pads, etc., on interior of oven.
Cleaning the accessories:
– Oven Rack and Crumb Tray should be hand-washed in hot, sudsy water, or with a nylon scouring pad or nylon brush, and thoroughly rinsed. These items are NOT dishwasher safe.
– Baking/Drip Pan and AirFryer Basket are dishwasher safe or can be hand- washed in hot, sudsy water, or with a nylon scouring pad or nylon brush, and thoroughly rinsed.
After cooking greasy foods and once your oven has cooled, always clean top of oven interior. If this is done on a regular basis, your oven will perform like new. Removing the grease will help to keep toasting consistent, cycle after cycle.
To remove crumbs, slide out the front Crumb Tray and discard crumbs. Wipe clean and replace. To remove baked-on grease, soak the tray in hot, sudsy water or use nonabrasive cleaners. Never operate the oven without the Crumb Tray in place.
Any other servicing should be performed by an authorized service representative.
