Save These Instructions – For Household Use Only
MODEL: CM002
When using electrical appliances, basic safety
precautions should always be followed. Do not use The Power TM AirFryer Oven
until you have read this manual thoroughly.
AirFryer, Rotisserie, Dehydrator & More
The Power AirFryer Oven TM is the first all-in-one unit that air fries,
roasts, grills, and bakes all your favorite foods with little or no oil.
Before You Begin
It is very important that you read this entire manual, making certain that you
are totally familiar with the Unit’s operation and precautions.
The Power AirFryer Oven
Not only cooks your favorite fried foods but also broils and bakes many other
favorites like air-fried burgers, calzones, and doughnuts. It couldn’t be
easier; eight one-touch presets set the time and temperature for some of your
favorites like crispy shrimp, fries, and southern-style chicken. Plus a
Rotisserie preset and a Dehydrator preset that preserves fresh fruits and
other foods for future use.
You and your family will enjoy many years of great-tasting food and snacks
with the Power AirFryer OvenTM.
We All Love Fried Food
Crispy fried chicken, French fries, coconut shrimp, chicken Parmesan, spicy
hot wings—the list goes on and on. Those tasty delights have become part of
our everyday diet. Until now, it was impossible to get that great, crispy-
fried crunch and flavor without frying in deep fat or oil.
Good News!
The Power AirFryer Oven TM has changed everything.
Our culinary design team has perfected a cooking system that virtually
eliminates the oil from the process. Messy, unhealthy oil is replaced with
Turbo Cyclonic Air that surrounds your food, cooking it to crisp and juicy
perfection.
