10. AIR FRYING TECHNIQUE

Please refer to the Air Fry / Roast Cooking Chart and/or follow package directions for suggested TIME and TEMP.

1. ALWAYS pat food dry before you start cooking to encourage better and more consistent browning and to avoid excess smoke.

2. To ensure even cooking/browning, ALWAYS open the active basket halfway
   through the cook time and check, turn or shake foods in the fryer basket. Some recipes may call to brush or spray oil halfway through cooking. Adjust TEMP or TIME if needed.
   WARNING: EXTREME CAUTION MUST BE USED WHEN HANDLING ANY HOT FRYER BASKET OR CRISPING TRAY. KEEP YOUR FACE AND HANDS AWAY FROM ESCAPING STEAM. CAUTION: ALWAYS USE OVEN MITTS WHEN HANDLING THE HOT AIR FRYER BASKET.
   CAUTION: HOT OIL CAN COLLECT AT THE BASE OF THE BASKET. USE CAUTION WHEN REMOVING COOKING FOODS.

3. To avoid excess smoke, when cooking naturally high fat foods (such as bacon, chicken wings or sausages) it may be necessary to empty fat from the fryer basket between batches.

4. For extra crispiness, make sure the skin or exterior of your food is dry. Air fry small batches of food that has been pre-crumbed. Improve your cooking results by cutting crumbed food into smaller pieces. Using a binder like eggs will help your breadcrumbs adhere to your seafood/meat/ poultry/ vegetables. We recommend you refrigerate crumbed foods for at least 30 minutes before frying.

5. To improve crispiness, dust poultry skin or exterior surface lightly with corn starch. Spray with oil.

6. Arrange crumbed food in the air fryer basket so that food is not touching to allow air flow on all surfaces.

7. Spray oils work best. Oil is distributed evenly and thus less oil is needed. Canola, olive, avocado, coconut, grapeseed, peanut, or vegetable oil work well.

8. Shake air fried foods out onto the serving area. Promptly insert a fryer basket into the Air Fryer body and lock into place. Continue air frying subsequent batches, if any.

9. Press REHEAT to air fry food for 6 minutes at 120ºC. Pull out the active basket at any time to check on your food’s temperature. Repeat to continue cooking until food is heated to your liking.

10. Unplug the Dual Basket Air Fryer when not in use.

11. AIR FRYING PRE-PACKAGED FROZEN FOODS

• As a rule, depending on the food and amount to be cooked, recommended cooking times can be reduced slightly. Always check food halfway to determine final cook TIME and TEMP.
• Always check cooking progress after TIME has finished.

12. HINTS FOR ROAST

IMPORTANT! CONSULT THE USDA COOKING GUIDELINES SECTION OF THIS INSTRUCTION MANUAL BEFORE COOKING BEGINS. ALWAYS TEST MEAT USING AN ACCURATE COOKING THERMOMETER.

• Always use a meat thermometer to ensure it is cooked properly.

• Cook meats to 5 to 10 degrees below desired doneness (internal temperature). Allow meat to stand 15 to 20 minutes before serving. The temperature will continue to rise while standing.

• Roast large, tender cuts of meat and poultry. Seasoning prior to cooking adds to the flavour and the aroma.

• A layer of fat on the top of the roast promotes better browning and provides natural basting.

• To speed up browning, brush lean cuts of meat, chicken and fish with oil, margarine or melted butter.

• Place meat (fat side up) and turn over half-way through ROAST time.
  IMPORTANT: TURN AND CHECK FOOD HALFWAY THROUGH ROAST TIME.

• Press to turn this feature OFF. SHAKE will disappear from the screen. Times are estimated and based on average sizes and weights.

13. HINTS FOR BAKE

• When using , you may need to lower the bake recipe temperature by 10°C to a minimum of 150°C.
• Check package directions to determine the food you are considering is suitable for use in an Air Fryer.
• Press to turn this feature OFF. SHAKE will disappear from the screen.

14. HINTS FOR DEHYDRATE

NOTE: WHEN MANUALLY PROGRAMMING DEHYDRATE MENU SELECTION, TIME WILL INCREASE OR DECREASE IN 1 HOUR INCREMENTS.

• Dehydrate fresh, ripe foods to preserve nutrients and enhance flavour.
• Your Dual Basket Air Fryer’s automated drying makes home dehydration both simple and rewarding and ensures safe, preservative-free results.
• DEHYDRATE combines low, steady heat with steady convection fan power.
• Precise low temperatures dry out foods evenly without cooking or overheating.

NOTE: TURN FOOD SEVERAL TIMES DURING DEHYDRATE .

15. AIR FRY / ROAST COOKING CHART

Times are estimated and based on average sizes and weights.
ALWAYS USE A MEAT THERMOMETER TO ENSURE THAT MEAT, POULTRY AND FISH ARE COOKED THOROUGHLY BEFORE SERVING.

NOTE: FRYING SMALLER BATCHES WILL RESULT IN SHORTER COOKING TIMES AND HIGHER FOOD QUALITY. ADJUST AIR FRYING TEMPERATURE AND TIME AS NECESSARY TO SUIT YOUR TASTE. NOTE: UNLESS FOOD IS PRE-PACKAGED AND PRE-OILED, FOR BROWNED AND CRISPY RESULTS, FOOD CAN BE LIGHTLY OILED BEFORE AIR FRYING.

16. DEHYDRATE CHART

Please turn food several times during DEHYDRATE function for even drying.

17. FRUIT / VEGETABLES

1. Wash all fruit skins well.
2. Slice fruit into 13mm thick slices and arrange with space between each slice to ensure even drying.
3. Rotate foods halfway through DEHYDRATE operation for even drying.

18. AIR FRYER MAINTENANCE

This appliance requires little maintenance. It contains no user-serviceable parts. Any servicing requiring disassembly other than cleaning must be performed by a qualified appliance repair technician.

19. CARE & CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING! ALLOW THE AIR FRYER TO COOL FULLY BEFORE CLEANING.
