GENERAL GUIDELINES

Air Fry: This function is used to Air Fry meals as a healthy alternative to deep frying in oil. The Air Fry function uses a combination of hot air, high fan speed and 4 upper heating elements to prepare a variety of meals that are both delicious and healthier than traditional frying.
Use the provided Baking Pan and Air Fryer Basket when using the Air Fry function.
Place the Air Fryer Basket onto the Baking Pan Use Rack Position 2 for Air Frying.
Bake: Baking is recommended for a variety of foods you would normally prepare in your conventional oven. Baked goods that require a gentler cooking method like cakes, muffins and pastry yield best results on Bake. Convection Bake uses a fan to circulate heated air around food to cook faster and is ideal for even browning. It is best used for heartier baked goods such as scones and bread and is also excellent for roasts, poultry, pizza and vegetables.
Use the Baking Pan for fresh pizza (in Rack Position 1) and the rack alone if pizza is frozen (in Rack Position 2).
Broiling: Broiling function can be used for beef, chicken, pork, fish and more. It also can be used to top-brown casseroles and gratins. Convection Broil is best for meats and fish, while traditional broil should be reserved for top browning.
Toasting: Always have the Oven Rack in Position 2, as indicated in the diagram below, for even toasting Always position your item/items in the middle of the rack.
Caution: Aluminum foil is not recommended for covering the Convection Air Fryer Toaster Oven accessories. If covered, the foil prevents the fat from dripping into the Drip Tray.
