12. Before using your appliance on any countertop surface or another fragile surface, such as a glass tabletop, CHECK WITH YOUR COUNTERTOP
    MANUFACTURER OR INSTALLER for recommendations about using appliances on your surfaces. Some manufacturers and installers may recommend protecting your surface by placing a hot pad or trivet under the appliance for heat protection. Your manufacturer or installer may recommend that hot pans, pots, or electrical appliances should not be used directly on top of the countertop. If you are unsure, place a trivet or hot pad under the appliance before using it.
    Electrical Safety

13. DO NOT operate any appliance if it has a damaged cord or plug, if it is not working properly, or if it has been damaged or dropped. Return the appliance to an authorized service facility for examination, repair, or adjustment.

c. If a longer detachable power-supply cord or extension cord is used:

1.  The marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance;
2. The cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally.

Using The Control Panel

TO START: Plug the Power Cord into the electrical outlet. The Digital LED Display will illuminate and a series of dashes (running lights) will display.

1. Power Button: Once the Basket and Fry Tray are properly placed in the Main Unit Housing, the Control Panel will be illuminated. Pressing the Power Button once will set the appliance to a default cooking temperature of 375° F/191° C and a time of 15 minutes. Pressing the Power Button a second time will start the cooking process. Pressing  the Power Button during the cooking cycle will turn the appliance off.

2. Cooking Presets: Press the cooking preset buttons to choose from up to ten cooking presets (presets vary by model). See the Preset Chart for the cooking times and temperatures associated with each preset. The running lights on the Control Panel will illuminate when the cooking cycle begins and will stay illuminated for up to 20  seconds after the cooking cycle is complete.

3. Timer Control Buttons: The + and − symbols enable you to increase or decrease cooking time 1 minute at a time (30 minutes at a time for dehydrating). Keeping the Button held down will rapidly change the time. Time control range: 1– 60 minutes (Dehydrate time control range: 2–24 hours).

4. Temperature Control Buttons: The + and −
   symbols enable you to increase or decrease cooking
   temperature 5° F at a time. Keeping a button held
   down will rapidly change the temperature. Temperature
   control range: 180° F–430° F/82° C–221° C (Dehydrate
   temperature control range: 90° F–170° F/32° C–77° C).

5. Time and Temperature Display:
   This display will keep track of the temperature and remaining cook time.
   Shake Indicator : The Shake Indicator will illuminate when the cooking cycle has reached its halfway point. This halfway timer gives you the opportunity to shake or flip your food in the appliance, which helps ensure even cooking (see the “Shaking” section).

6. Wi-Fi: Indicates the appliance’s connection to a mobile device (see the ˮUsing the Wi-Fi Featuresˮ section).

Preset Chart
Once you are familiar with the appliance, you may want to experiment with your own recipes. Simply choose the time and temperature that suits your personal taste.

*Shake Function Programming: Halfway through the cooking cycle, the appliance will beep five times, indicating that food can be shaken or flipped over (see the “Shaking” section).

Instructions for Use

Before First Use

1. Read all material, warning stickers, and labels.
2. Remove all packing materials, stickers, and labels from the appliance.
3. Before initial use, wipe the inside and outside of the appliance with a warm, moist cloth and mild detergent. Handwash all cooking accessories.
4. Place the appliance on a heat-resistant surface or use heat protection. Ensure that the appliance is used in an area with adequate air circulation.
5. Before cooking food, preheat the appliance for a few minutes to allow the appliance to burn off the manufacturer’s protective coating of oil. Wipe the appliance with warm,  soapy water and a dishcloth after this burn-in cycle.

Inserting the Fry Tray

1. Place the Fry Tray in the Basket. The Fry Tray’s adjustable tray height lets you place food closer to the heating element for broiling. You can also use it to make the total size of the basket smaller when cooking smaller quantities of food.
2. To raise the Fry Tray closer to the heating element, position the edges of the Fry Tray (see Fig. i) on the Fry Tray Holders (see Fig. j). To use the Fry Tray on the bottom of the Basket, rotate the Fry Tray so that the Fry Tray‘s edges slide past the Fry Tray Holder, and push the Fry Tray to the bottom of the Basket (see Fig k ).
3. Slide the Basket into the appliance. If the Basket is placed properly, it will click into place.
   NOTE: This appliance cook using hot air. Do not fill the Basket with oil or frying fat.

Using the Appliance

1. Plug the appliance into a dedicated electrical outlet.

2. Pull the Basket out of the appliance and place the ingredients inside. Do not touch the Basket directly because the Basket becomes very hot during operation. Only hold the  Basket by its handle. Insert the Basket into the appliance.
   NOTE: Always use the Fry Tray with the Basket.

3. Press the Power Button. Set the appropriate time and temperature for the ingredients you are cooking.

4. When the timer beeps five times, either the set cooking time has elapsed or the appliance is reminding you to shake your food (see “Shaking” in “Instructions for Use”). Pull the Basket out of the appliance and place it on a heat-resistant surface.

5. When removing food from the basket, avoid contact with hot excess oil or the hot drip tray. To avoid being burned, use silicone-tipped tongs or tip out the basket contents carefully. The Fry Tray is not secured and can fall out. Hot oil can be inside the basket.

6. If the food is not fully cooked, simply slide the Basket back into the appliance and add a few minutes to the cooking time.

7. The appliance is instantly ready for preparing another batch.

Shaking
To ensure even cooking, some foods require shaking or flipping during the cooking process. Some of these appliances presets include a halfway timer, which is a timer that will  beep and the Shake icon on the Control Panel will blink when the cooking cycle has reached its halfway point.
At the halfway point in the cycle, carefully use oven mitts to remove the hot Basket from the appliance. Gently shake.
NOTE: If you do not remove the Basket and shake the food, the Shake light on the Control Panel will remain illuminated.

Tips

• Foods that are smaller in size usually require a slightly shorter cooking time than larger foods.
• Shaking smaller-sized foods halfway through the cooking process ensures that all the pieces are fried evenly.
• Adding a bit of vegetable oil to breaded items is suggested for a crispier result. When adding oil, do so just before cooking and add only a small amount onto the breaded items.
• Snacks normally cooked in an oven can also be cooked in the appliance.
• Use the premade dough to prepare filled snacks quickly and easily. Premade dough also requires a shorter cooking time than homemade dough.
• Simply set the temperature and time to however warm you want your food.
