CAUTION: Attaching the Power Cord

  • Plug the power cord into a dedicated wall outlet. No other appliances should be plugged into the same outlet. Plugging other appliances into the outlet will cause the circuit to overload.
  • A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risk resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
  • Longer extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use.
  • If a longer extension cord is used:
  • The marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance.
  • 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.
  • If the appliance is of the grounded type, the cord set or extension cord should be a grounding-type 3-wire cord.
  • This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug is intended to fit into a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to modify the plug in any way.

Electric Power
If the electrical circuit is overloaded with other appliances, your new appliance may not operate properly. It should be operated on a dedicated electrical circuit.

Important

  • Before initial use, hand wash the cooking accessories. Then, wipe the outside and inside of the appliance with a warm, moist cloth and mild detergent. Next, preheat the appliance for a few minutes to burn off any residue. Finally, wipe the appliance out with a wet cloth.
    CAUTION: Upon first use, the appliance may smoke or emit a burning odor due to oils used to coat and preserve the heating elements.

  • This appliance must be operated with the Drip Tray in place, and any food must be cleaned off of the Drip Tray when the Drip Tray becomes more than half full.

  • Never operate your appliance with the doors open.

  • Never put the Baking Pan (or any other accessory) directly on the top of the lower heating elements.

RECOMMENDED ACCESSORY POSITIONS

The Crisper Tray, Wire Rack, and Baking Pan can be inserted into position 1, 2, 4/5, 6, or 7. Position 3 is the Rotisserie slot and can only be used with the Rotisserie Spit. Note that position 4/5 is a single slot in the appliance.

IMPORTANT: The Drip Tray must be kept below the heating elements in the appliance at all times when cooking food.

EMERIL-LAGASSE-FAFO-001-French-Door-AirFryer-fig-11

  • When using the Baking Pan underneath the Crisper Tray or Wire Rack, place the Baking Pan one level beneath the food to catch drippings.

PREHEATING

Some presets include a preheating function (see the “Preset Chart” section). When you select a preset with this preheating function, the control panel will display “PH” in place of the cooking time until the appliance has reached the set temperature. Then, the cooking timer will begin counting down. For some recipes, food should be added to the appliance after the appliance is finished preheating.
CAUTION: The appliance will be hot. Use oven mitts to add food to the appliance.

HALFWAY TIMER

Some of this appliance’s presets include a halfway timer, which is a timer that will sound when the cooking cycle has reached its halfway point. This halfway timer gives you the opportunity to shake or flip your food or rotate the accessories in the appliance, which helps ensure even cooking. To shake food being cooked in the Crisper Tray, use oven mitts to shake the food. To flip food, such as burgers, or steak, use tongs to turn the food over. To rotate accessories, move the top accessory to the bottom accessory’s position and move the bottom accessory to the top accessory’s position. For example, if the Crisper Tray is in shelf position 2 and the Wire Rack is in shelf position 6, you should switch the Crisper Tray to shelf position 6 and the Wire Rack to shelf position 2.

DUAL FAN SPEEDS

When using some of this appliance’s presets, you can control the speed of the fan located at the top of the appliance. Using the fan at a high speed helps superheated air circulate around your food as it cooks, which is ideal for cooking many types of food evenly. Using a lower fan speed is ideal when cooking more delicate foods, such as baked goods. The “Preset Chart” section shows which fan settings are available for each preset. In the chart, the default fan speed for each preset is bolded.

MANUAL COOL-DOWN FUNCTION

After a cooking cycle is complete, you can press and hold the Fan Button for 3 seconds to activate the appliance’s manual cool-down function. When the manual cool-down function is running, the top fan will run for 3 minutes to cool down the appliance, which can be used to cool down the interior of the appliance when cooking food at a lower temperature than the previous cooking cycle. When the manual cool-down function is activated, the light around the Fan Display icon illuminates, the Program Selection Knob turns red, and the Cooking Presets section of the Control Panel darkens. Pressing the Fan Button while the manual cool-down function is active switches the fan speed from high to low. Pressing the Fan Button a third time cancels the manual cool-down function. While the manual cool-down function is active, the Program Selection Knob cannot be used to select a cooking preset. You can press the Cancel Button to end the manual cool-down function at any time.

  4. Never wash or submerge the cooking appliance in water. Wipe the inside and outside of the cooking appliance with a clean, moist cloth. Rinse with a warm, moist cloth.
  5. Before cooking food, preheat the appliance for a few minutes to allow the manufacturer’s protective coating of oil to burn off. Wipe the appliance with warm, soapy water and a dishcloth after this burn-in cycle.

Instructions

  1. Place the appliance on a stable, level, horizontal, and heat-resistant surface. Ensure that the appliance is used in an area with good air circulation and away from hot surfaces, other objects or appliances and any combustible materials.
  2. Ensure that the appliance is plugged into a dedicated power outlet.
  3. Select the cooking accessory for your recipe.
  4. Place food to be cooked in appliance and close the doors.
  5. Select a preset mode by using the Control Knob to scroll though the presets and pressing the Start/Pause Button to select the preset. The cooking cycle will begin. Note that some cooking presets include a preheating feature (see the “Preset Chart” section).
  6. After the cooking cycle has started, you can adjust the cooking temperature by pressing the Temperature Button and then using the Control Knob to adjust the temperature. You can also adjust the cooking time by pressing the Time Button and using the Control Knob to adjust the cooking time.

NOTE: When toasting bread or a bagel, you control the lightness or darkness by adjusting the same knobs.
NOTE: When the cooking process is complete and the cooking time has elapsed, the appliance will beep several times.
NOTE: Leaving the appliance idle (untouched) for 3 minutes will automatically turn the appliance off.
CAUTION: All surfaces inside and outside of the appliance will be extremely hot. To avoid injury, wear oven mitts. Allow at least 30 minutes for the appliance to cool before attempting cleaning or storing.
IMPORTANT: This appliance is equipped with a linked door system. Open the doors completely to set positions because doors are spring loaded and will close if partially opened.

Tips

  • Foods that are smaller in size usually require a slightly shorter cooking time than larger ones.
  • Large sizes or quantities of food may require a longer cooking time than smaller sizes or quantities.
  • Misting a bit of vegetable oil on fresh potatoes is suggested for a crispier result. When adding a little oil, do so just before cooking.
  • Snacks normally cooked in an oven can also be cooked in the appliance.
  • Use premade dough to prepare filled snacks quickly and easily. Premade dough also requires a shorter cooking time than homemade dough.
  • A baking pan or oven dish can be placed on the Wire Rack inside the appliance when cooking foods such as cakes or quiches. Using a tin or dish is also recommended when cooking fragile or filled foods.
