WARNING Electrical Shock Hazard:
This appliance is provided with a polarized plug (one wide blade) to reduce the risk of electric shock.
The plug fits only one way into a polarized outlet.
Do not defeat the safety purpose of the plug by modifying the plug in any way or by using an adapter.
If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug.
If it still does not fit, have an electrician replace the outlet.
The length of the cord used on this appliance was selected to reduce the hazards of becoming tangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
If a longer cord is necessary, an approved extension cord may be used.

Cooking Guide
Simply-Crisp® Air Fry Mode may require more cooking time than standalone air fryers.
NOTE: Some foods may need to be flipped, stirred, or rotated halfway through cooking.

FOOD	AMOUNT	MODE	TEMPERATURE	TIME

Times are a guide for different types of foods which vary in cook time. Cook food until desired crispness.
NOTE: Cooking times are based on a preheated Oven.

Simply-Crisp® Air Frying Tips From Our Test Kitchen

Simply-Crisp® AIR FRY Mode may require more cooking time than standalone air fryers.
Always use Baking/Broiling Pan on rack under Air Frying Basket to catch drips.
Arrange foods in a single, even layer in Air Frying Basket.
Most foods (larger/thicker) may need to be flipped, stirred, or rotated during cooking.
Breadcrumbs make crunchy air fried coatings. Avoid sauces or batters.
Rack position used to air fry depends on size of food to be cooked. Use Middle Rack Position for most foods.
Keep at least 1 inch (2.5 cm) between food and heating elements.
Do not line Air Frying Basket; that blocks air flow. Do line Baking/Broiling Pan under Basket for easy cleanup.
Preheat Oven for shorter cook times/improved crispness.
Cut uniform-sized pieces for even cooking results.
A light spritz of cooking oil before cooking provides crispier texture, especially for fresh foods.
Review food packaging-suggested cook times and adjust time for desired crispness.
Avoid opening Oven door while cooking frozen French fries or chicken nuggets until cooking cycle is nearly done.
Check food for desired doneness before end of cooking cycle. Add or reduce cooking time as needed
For best results when air frying, set temperature to AIR FRY ( ****).
