COOK FUNCTION GUIDE

lot of oil. It’s a great choice for cooking many frozen prepared foods as well as French fries, chicken wings, and more.| 300–450˚F| Use the air fry basket for crispiest results (place broil/bake pan in bottom rack position for easy cleanup). Air fryers require little to no oil to produce a crisp texture.

If you choose to use oil, toss foods with just a little in a separate bowl before cooking.

Bake| A general cooking method that works just like your regular oven. Use it to make small-batch cookies, brown- ies, or a cake. You can also roast meat and chicken.| 300–450˚F| Most baking benefits from a 5-minute preheat to adjust for preheating required in traditional ovens. If not preheating, baked goods may require an additional 5 minutes of bake time.
Convection Bake| Like convection cooking, it moves the air around with a fan to cook foods faster and hotter. It’s great for pizza.| 300–425˚F| To adjust for recipes written for a conventional oven, it’s best to set the temperature to 25˚F lower than the recipe calls for.
Broil| Cooks via intense heat gen- erated from the upper heat- ing elements and is a good choice for cooking meat or fish. It’s also good for brown- ing foods like cheesy gratins and casseroles.| 450˚F| Broil food in the top or middle rack position, making sure the food does not directly touch the heating elements.

COOK FUNCTION GUIDE

Convection broiling cooks faster than regular broiling, so keep an eye on food to avoid overcooking.
Toast| Toasts multiple slices of bread or bagels to the perfect shade of golden-brown.| 450˚F| If toasting one or two pieces, cen- ter them in the middle of the rack for best results. If bread or bagel is frozen, thaw before toasting or toast for a few extra minutes.
Keep Warm| Heats the oven at 200°F to gently heat already-cooked foods. It’s ideal for reheating leftovers without drying them out.| 200˚F| If warming leftover cooked meat, fill the broil/bake pan with 1 cup of water and place below the food being warmed to keep it from drying out.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

BEFORE FIRST USE

1. Read and remove all packing materials and stickers from the inside and outside of the unit except for the rating label, which should remain on the unit. Be sure that all accessories are accounted for before throwing away any packaging.
2. Wipe the exterior of the oven with a clean, damp cloth and dry thoroughly. Wipe the interior with a mild liquid soap and a damp cloth or sponge.
3. Hand wash the air fry basket, wire rack, broil/bake pan, and crumb tray with warm, soapy water, rinse, and dry well. The basket and rack are also top-rack dishwasher safe; the broil/bake pan and crumb tray are not.
4. Place the unit on a flat, heat-resistant surface positioned at least 2 inches away from the wall or any other objects.
5. Ensure that the crumb tray is inserted into the bottom of the oven. Do not operate the unit without the crumb tray in place.

HOW TO COOK IN THE OVEN+ AIR FRYER
The oven has multiple cooking functions, so you can customize your cooking for perfect results every time. Metal, ovenproof glass, or ceramic bakeware without glass lids can be used in the oven. However, the top of the container must be at least 1½ inches away from the upper heating element.
NOTE: On first use, the unit may emit a slight odor, which is normal and will dissipate with use.

HOW TO USE THE COOK FUNCTIONS
Follow the instructions below if you’d like to Air Fry, Bake, Convection Bake, Keep Warm, Convection Broil, or Broil. (See Cook Function Guide starting on p. 10 for moredetails on each function.)

1. Ensure the crumb tray is inserted in its position and plug in the unit.
2. Place food in the pan, basket, or rack of choice. If not using the broil/bake pan, insert it into the bottom rack position for easy cleanup.
3. Slide the pan or rack with food into the oven and close the door.
4. Set the Cook Function Dial to the desired cook function.
5. Set the Temperature Dial to the desired temperature. If using Broil or Convection Broil, set the Temperature Dial to 450°F (Toast/Broil). If using Keep Warm, set the Temperature Dial to 200°F (Keep Warm).
6. Turn the Oven Timer Dial to the desired time. The red power light will turn on and the timer and cooking will begin. NOTE: To set a time of less than 20 minutes, first turn the dial past the 20-minute mark, then turn it back to the lower time desired.
7. To check on food during cooking, it’s best to view it through the window, to prevent heat from escaping. Just press the oven light button on the control panel to turn on the light (press the button again to turn it off). If you do open the door  to check on food, the door switch will activate to turn off the heat, though thetimer will continue to countdown and the oven will still be hot. When the door is closed, heating will resume. To stop cooking before the timer ends, turn the Oven Timer Dial to OFF.
8. Cook until the timer ends. A bell will ring, the red power light will shut off, and the unit will turn off.
9. Using oven mitts, carefully remove the food from the oven. Check food for doneness, serve, and enjoy!

HOW TO USE THE TOAST FUNCTION

1. Ensure the crumb tray is inserted in its position and plug in the unit.
2. Place food on the wire rack. If toasting one or two pieces of food, center them in the middle of the rack for best results.
3. Slide the rack into the oven and close the door.
4. Set the Cook Function Dial to Toast.
5. Set the Temperature Dial to 450°F (Toast/Broil).
6. Set the Toast Timer Dial to the desired shade: Light, Medium, or Dark, or anywhere in between. If toasting fresh or thick-sliced breads, which require a longer toast time, or for smaller heating tasks like melting cheese, the timer can also be set for up to 10 minutes. The red power light will turn on and the timer and toasting will begin.
7. To check on food during cooking, it’s best to view it through the window, to prevent heat from escaping. Just press the oven light button on the control panel to turn on the light (press the button again to turn it off). If you do open the door  to check on food, the door switch will activate to turn off the heat, though thetimer will continue to countdown and the oven will still be hot. When the door is closed, heating will resume. To stop toasting before the timer ends, turn the Toast Timer Dial to OFF.
8. Toast until the timer ends. A bell will ring, the red power light will shut off, and the unit will turn off.
9. Using oven mitts, carefully remove the food from the oven, serve, and enjoy!

COOKING TIPS

• If not cooking on the broil/bake pan, consider inserting it in the bottom rack position as a drip tray for easy cleanup.
• When working with delicate food that can easily crumble, take the rack out of the unit and assemble your food directly on the rack.
• If using a small pizza stone, heat the stone in the unit for at least 20 minutes before baking your pizza. Place the stone in the unit and set to 450°F. You can incorporate both preheating and cooking all in one cycle by setting the timer for 30 to 40 minutes.

TROUBLESHOOTING / FAQs

Why didn’t the unit ring to alert me my food was finished cooking?

If you’re cooking something for less than 20 minutes, be sure to turn the Oven Timer Dial past the 20-minute mark first, then set it to the desired time.

Why isn’t my air-fried food golden brown and crisp?

Try tossing food in a little oil before cooking to enhance brownness. Also, be sure to distribute food evenly on the pan, rack, or in the basket; do not stack food or crowd the racks.

Can I air fry foods that have a wet batter like tempura?

No. Foods dredged with a wet batter like tempura or beer batter should not be cooked in the unit as the batter will slough off the food. However, breaded foods like chicken nuggets cook up beautifully.

Do you have to preheat the unit?

You do not have to, but when baking, food will cook faster and more evenly if the unit is preheated for at least 5 minutes. It’s also helpful to preheat a baking stone if using one for pizza.

Can you cook raw meat and seafood in the unit?

Yes. Always check foods for doneness using proper food safety guidelines.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

1. Unplug the unit and allow it to cool completely before cleaning.
2. Gently wipe the exterior with a clean, damp cloth and dry thoroughly.
3. Using a sponge, soft cloth, or nylon pad, wash the glass on the door with dish soap and warm water. Do not use a spray glass cleaner.
4. Using mild liquid soap and a damp cloth or sponge, wipe the interior walls. Do not use abrasive cleaners like steel wool pads, as they can damage the finish. Be sure  to clean the top interior of the unit. Removing grease on a regular basis will preventsmoke caused by a buildup of oils and will keep cooking consistent.
5. Slide out the crumb tray and toss out crumbs. Wipe clean. Remove any baked-on grease by soaking the tray in hot, sudsy water. Use non-abrasive cleaners like a sponge, cloth, or brush. The crumb tray is not dishwasher safe.
6. Hand wash the broil/bake pan, wire rack, and air fry basket. The rack and basket are also top-rack dishwasher safe. The broil/bake pan is not dishwasher safe.
7. Fully dry the unit and all accessories before storing.
