A NOTE ON AIR FRYING PRE-PACKAGED FROZEN FOODS

1. The air fryer is powered with 1700W high performance technology that circulates heat for fast air fry and recovery.
2. As a general rule, reduce the package cooking time by 30% to 50% depending on the food and amount to be cooked.
3. Always check food halfway though cooking time to determine final cook time and temperature.
4. Always check cooking progress after TIME has expired. If more time is needed, cook at short time intervals until food tests done.

FOR BEST RESULTS

1. Use your air fryer to cook pre-packaged foods with a fraction of the oil, in a fraction of the time!
2. Always check food halfway through cooking time to determine final cook time and temperature.
3. Always pat food dry before cooking to encourage browning and avoid excess smoke.
4. To avoid excess smoke, when cooking naturally high fat foods, such as chicken wings or sausages, it may be necessary to empty fat from the frying basket drawer between batches.
5. For crispier results, air fry small batches of freshly breaded foods. Create more surface area by cutting food into smaller pieces. Press breading onto food to help it adhere. Refrigerate breaded foods for at least 30 minutes before frying.
6. Arrange breaded food in frying basket so that food is not touching to allow air flow on all surfaces.
7. Spray olive oil or vegetable oil work best as oil is distributed evenly and less oil is needed.
8. Do not overfill frying basket with food. NEVER fill any frying basket more than 2/3 full. When air frying fresh vegetables, we do not recommend adding more than 3 cups of food to the frying basket.
9. Some foods need to be shaken vigorously or turned over during the air fry time. Consult the Air Frying Chart for a general guide.

CARE & CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING:  Allow the Air Fryer to cool fully before cleaning.

1. Unplug the Air Fryer. Remove frying basket from the unit. Make sure the frying basket and crisping tray have cooled completely before cleaning.
2. Wash the basket and crisping tray in hot soapy water. Do not use metal kitchen utensils or abrasive cleansers or cleaning products as this may damage the non-stick coating.
3. The frying basket and crisping tray are dishwasher-safe. For best results, place in the top rack of your dishwasher to clean.
4. Wipe the Air Fryer body with a soft, non-abrasive damp cloth to clean.
