Let the rotisserie sit for a few minutes before using gloves to loosen the Screws and remove the Rotisserie Forks. Then, remove the Rotisserie Bar from the chicken (photo B).
TIPS & TRICKS
When using oil:
Most oils can be used for air frying. Olive oil is preferred for a richer
flavor. However, vegetables, grapeseed oil, or canola oil are recommended for
a milder flavor.
Distribute any oil evenly on foods and ingredients to achieve the crispiest
results. Oil can also be sprayed or brushed onto foods for air frying.
Alternatively, olive oil and non-stick cooking sprays can be used.
For coatings/readings:
You can use a variety of different breadings and coatings when air frying
foods. Some examples of different crumb mixtures include seasoned breadcrumbs,
breadcrumbs, panko breadcrumbs, cornflakes, potato chip crumbs, graham cracker
crumbs, quinoa, and different types of flours.
Flipping/Tossing Foods:
Most foods do not need to be flipped during cooking, but larger items, like
chicken cutlets, should be flipped halfway during the cooking process to
ensure even cooking and browning.
When air frying larger quantities of food, ensure that you toss food halfway
through cooking to ensure even cooking and coloring. You may open the Pro
8-in-1 Air Fryer Oven to flip or toss your food and this will not affect the
cooking process.
For foods that cook quickly, like bacon and chips, use higher temperatures.
Use lower temperatures for foods that take longer to cook such as breaded
chicken. Ingredients will cook more evenly if they are cut to the same size.
Line the Baking Pan with aluminum foil for easy cleanup. It is important to
note that when most foods cook, they also release water. When cooking larger
amounts of food for a longer period of time, condensation may build-up, which
could leave moisture on your countertop.
More Tips & Tricks:
Air frying smaller items or fewer items will require a slightly shorter
cooking time than larger items or more items.
Shaking smaller items halfway during the preparation time optimizes the end
result and can help prevent unevenly fried foods.
When making homemade french fries, soak fresh potatoes in water for 30
minutes, then add a small amount of oil for a crispy result. Fry your potatoes
in the Air Fryer Oven within a few minutes of adding the oil.
Do not prepare extremely greasy items, such as sausages, in the Pro 8-in-1 Air
Fryer Oven. Use store-bought dough to prepare filled snacks like calzones
quickly and easily. Items made with the store-bought dough will require a
shorter preparation time than homemade dough. You can also use the Pro 8-in-1
Air Fryer Oven to reheat foods. To reheat foods, set the Temperature Dial to
300°F for up to 10 minutes.
CLEANING & MAINTENANCE
NOTE: Always allow the Air Fryer Oven to cool completely before cleaning.
Always unplug the Air Fryer Oven from the electrical outlet before cleaning.
Do not use abrasive cleaners, as they will damage the finish. Simply wipe the
exterior with a clean, damp cloth and dry thoroughly. Apply the cleansing
agent to a cloth, not directly onto the appliance, before cleaning.
To clean interior walls, use a damp cloth and a mild liquid soap solution or a
spray solution on a sponge.
Never use harsh abrasives or corrosive products. Never use steel wool pads,
etc., on the interior of the oven.
After cooking greasy foods and after your oven has cooled, always clean the
top interior of the Air Fryer Oven. When cleaned regularly, your Air Fryer
Oven will perform like new every time. Removing the grease will also help to
keep toasting consistent every time.
To remove crumbs, slide out the Drip Tray and discard crumbs. Wipe clean and
replace.
To remove baked-on grease, soak the Drip Tray in hot, sudsy water or use non-
abrasive cleaners.
Never wrap the cord around the outside of the oven.
Any other servicing should be performed by an authorized service
representative.
All accessories are dishwasher safe. Alternatively, you can clean the
accessories with hot water, dish soap, and a non-abrasive sponge.
Make sure that the appliance is unplugged and all parts and accessories are
clean and dry before storage.
Cleaning the heating element:
NOTE: Make sure the appliance has cooled down completely before cleaning
the heating element Unplug the Air Fryer Oven and wait until it is cool before
cleaning.
Remove any accessories from the interior. These non-electric parts can be
cleaned with a soft sponge and warm, soapy water.
Gently wipe down the heating element with a damp, soft sponge or a non-
abrasive brush. DO NOT use a metal brush or a coarse/metallic sponge — this
will damage the heating element.
Turn the Air Fryer Oven on without any food in it to allow any remaining food
to be shaken loose.
Once the Air Fryer Oven is cool again, you can then wipe away any extra
pieces.
TROUBLESHOOTING
| PROBLEM | POSSIBLE CAUSE | SOLUTION |
|---|---|---|
| The Air Fryer Oven does not turn on. | The appliance is not plugged in. | Plug |
the mains plug into a grounded wall socket.
| You have not set the Timer.| Turn the Timer Dial to the required preparation
time to switch the appliance on.
The food is not done after the recommended time is up.| Too much food has been
added to the oven.| Useless food and cook in batches if necessary. Your food
will also cook more evenly.
| The temperature was set too low.| Turn the Temperature Dial to the required
temperature
setting (see section “Settings”).
| The Air Fry Dial was used to set the temperature instead of the Temperature
Dial.| Only use the Air Fry Dial to set the temperature when air frying. For
all other functions, use the Temperature Dial to set the temperature.
The food is fried unevenly in the Air Fryer Oven.| Certain types of food need
to be shaken halfway through the preparation time.| Items that lie on top of
or across each other (e.g. fries) need to be shaken halfway through the
preparation time (see section “Settings”).
Snacks are not crispy when they come out of the Air Fryer Oven.| The food was
not dry enough or needs more oil.| Make sure to properly dry the food or
lightly brush some oil onto the snacks for a crispier result.
I cannot place an accessory
into the appliance properly.| There is too much food in the accessory.| Do not
overfill accessories.
---|---|---
White smoke is coming out of the appliance.| Your food is too greasy.| When
you fry greasy items in the Air Fryer Oven, an amount of fat may leak into the
oven itself. The fat produces white smoke and the oven may heat up more than
usual. This does not affect the appliance or the end result.
| The oven or accessories still contain residue from previous use.| White
smoke is caused by grease heating up in the oven. Make sure you clean the oven
properly after each use.
Fresh fries are fried unevenly in the Air Fryer Oven.| Certain types of food
need to be shaken halfway through the preparation time.| Items that lie on top
of or across each other (e.g. fries) need to be shaken halfway through the
preparation time (see section “Settings”).
Snacks are not crispy when they come out of the Air Fryer Oven.| The food was
not dry enough or needs more oil.| Make sure to properly dry the food or
lightly brush some oil onto the snacks for a crispier result.
Fresh fries are not crispy
when they come out of the Air Fryer Oven.| The crispiness of the fries depends
on the amount of oil and water in the fries.| Make sure you dry the potato
sticks properly before you add the oil.
| | Cut the potato sticks smaller for a crispier result.
| | Add slightly more oil for a crispier result.
