BEFORE ITS FIRST USE
-
Remove all packing materials and stickers from the inside and outside of the Air Fryer. Gently wipe down the exterior with a damp cloth or paper towel.
WARNING: Never immerse the Air Fryer or its plug-in water or any other liquids. -
Pull the basket handle to remove the basket from the Air Fryer. Use the tray handle, in the center of the tray, to remove the tray. Use a sponge and warm, soapy water to wash the inside and outside of the basket and tray. The basket and the tray are top-rack dishwashers safe.
-
WARNING: Do not use abrasive cleaning agents or scouring pads.
-
Dry thoroughly.
HOW TO USE
-
Prepare the basket and desired food.
Use the tray handle to insert the tray into the basket. Push down to ensure it is secure and in a leveled position. There should be a small amount of space between the tray and the bottom of the basket.
Warning: Never fill the basket with oil. Unlike deep fryers, air fryers require little to no oil to produce crispy results. If you choose to use oil, toss food with oil in a separate bowl and then transfer food to the tray inside the basket. -
Put food on the tray.
Refer to the chart on “more cooking tips” for recommended maximum amounts of food, cooking times, temperatures and tips. -
Put the basket into the Air Fryer.
Use the Basket Handle to insert the basket into the Air Fryer. Push to close. -
Plugin the Air Fryer.
The power indicator light will illuminate when the Air Fryer is plugged in. The heating indicator light will NOT illuminate until the timer dial is turned past zero.
Note: The Air Fryer will not operate if the basket is not fully pushed into place. -
Set desired cooking temperature and time.
Adjust the temperature: Turn the temperature dial to the desired temperature between 90ºC and 200ºC.
Adjust the time: Turn the timer dial to the desired time. Once a time is selected, the Air Fryer will begin to tick, indicating the time is counting down.
Note: Maximum cooking time is 60 minutes. -
Start cooking.
After setting the temperature and time, the power indicator light and the heating indicator light will illuminate and the Air Fryer will begin cooking.
To check food while the Air Fryer is cooking:
A) Use the basket handle to pull out the basket.
Note: The power indicator light and the heating indicator light will turn off once the basket is pulled out, but the timer will continue to count down.
B) Use the basket handle to shake and redistribute the food inside the basket (or use tongs to flip food) if necessary, then push the basket back into the unit. The unit will automatically resume cooking when the basket is replaced. -
Enjoy your air-fried food.
Once the timer completely counts down, the Air Fryer will ding once and turn off.
Use the basket handle to pull out the basket. Remove the basket carefully by pulling it out straight to prevent oil spillage. Use protective gloves and/or tongs to carefully transfer the hot food to a serving plate.
Caution: The basket, tray, and contents will be HOT after cooking.
Place the hot basket on a wire rack or trivet to cool. -
Unplug the Air Fryer and let cool completely before cleaning.
-
Clean the basket and tray after every use.
COOKING TIPS
- Almost any food that is traditionally cooked in the oven can be air-fried.
- Foods cook best and most evenly when they are of similar size and thickness.
- Smaller pieces of food require less cooking time than larger pieces.
- For best results in the shortest amount of time, air fry food in small batches. Avoid stacking or layering when possible.
- Most prepackaged foods do not need to be tossed in oil before air frying. Most already contain oil and other ingredients that enhance browning and crispiness
- Frozen appetizers and hors d’oeuvres air fry very well. For best results, arrange them on the tray in a single layer.
- If layering foods, be sure to shake the basket halfway through (or flip food) to promote even cooking.
- Toss foods you are preparing from scratches, such as French fries or other vegetables, with a small amount of oil to promote browning and crispiness.
- When air frying fresh vegetables, make sure to pat them dry completely before tossing them with oil and air frying to ensure maximum crispiness.
- Air fryers are great for reheating food, including pizza. To reheat your food, set the temperature to 150 for up to 10 minutes.

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| The Air Fryer is not working/will not turn on. | 1. Air Fryer is not properly |
plugged in.
2. The timer has not been turned past zero.
3. The basket is not fully pushed into place.| 1. Ensure that the plug is
properly secured in the wall outlet.
2. Turn the timer dial past zero to initiate cooking.
3. Use the basket handle to push the basket firmly into Air Fryer’s housing.
There is smoke coming out of the Air Fryer.| 1. Air Fryer is being used for
the first time.
2. There is either too much grease in or on the food being air fried.
3. There is leftover grease in the basket.| 1. Smoke will subside after
first use.
2. Lightly coat food with oil.
3. Clean the basket after every use.
Air-fried foods are not crispy.| 1. The food didn’t have enough oil.
2. The food was coated in too much oil and became soggy.| Only toss oil-free
fresh foods in a small amount of oil to achieve the maximum crispiness
Air Fryer is producing a significant amount of smoke.| High-fat content foods,
such as sausage, tend to produce a significant amount of smoke when cooked at
a high-temperature setting.| This will not harm the air fryer or affect the
final result of the food, but in order to avoid smoke, fry at a lower
temperature.
