TIPS :

Foods that are smaller in size usually require a slightly shorter cooking time than larger ones.
Large quantities of food only require a slightly longer cooking time than smaller quantities.
Flipping or turning smaller-sized foods halfway through the cooking process ensures that all the pieces are evenly cooked.
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 Air Fryer Oven.
Use the premade dough to prepare filled snacks quickly and easily. Premade dough also requires a shorter cooking time than homemade dough.
Place an oven-safe baking tin or dish (not included) inside the Air Fryer Oven when baking a cake or a quiche. A tin or dish is also suggested when cooking fragile or filled foods.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE:

Note: Unplug the Air Fryer Oven and allow it to cool down completely before handling, cleaning or storing.
Wash in warm soapy water after use: baking tray, wire rack, panhandle.
Those parts are also dishwasher safe.
Crumbs can be wiped out from the bottom of the Air Fryer Oven.
The inside of the appliance can be cleaned with hot water, mild dish detergent and a nonabrasive sponge.
After cooking greasy foods and once the Air Fryer Oven has cooled, always clean the top of the interior. Removing grease will help keep its performance consistent.
To remove baked-on grease, soak the baking tray in hot, sudsy water or use non-abrasive cleaners.
Wipe the outer housing body with a soft damp cloth. Do not use detergents or cleaners.
Do not immerse the power cord, plug or the housing body in water or any other liquids as it may result in damage, fire, electric shock or injury.

STORING

Allow the Air Fryer Oven to cool down completely before storing.
Store the Air Fryer Oven in an upright position in a dry location.
Do not place any heavy items on top of the Air Fryer Oven during storage as this may result in possible damage to the appliance.
