FAQ

  • Make sure the power cord is securely plugged into the outlet.
  • Insert the power cord into a different outlet.
  • Reset the circuit breaker if necessary.
  • Press the power button.

• Can I use the sheet pan instead of the air fry basket with air fry function?

  When preparing traditional oven recipes using the Air Roast function, lower cook time by 30% and temperature by 25° F.

• Can I restore the unit to its default settings?
  The oven will remember the last setting used for each function, even if you unplug it. To restore the oven’s default settings for each function, press the TIME/SLICE and TEMP/DARKNESS buttons simultaneously for 5 seconds.

• Why do the heating elements appear to be turning on and off?
