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.

Tips

• Foods that are smaller in size usually require a slightly shorter cooking time than larger ones.
• Flipping or turning foods halfway through the cooking process ensures that all the pieces are evenly fried.
• Misting a bit of vegetable oil on fresh potatoes is suggested for a crispier result. When adding a little oil, do so just before cooking.
• Snacks normally cooked in an oven can also be cooked in the Power AirFryer Oven.
• Use premade dough to prepare filled snacks quickly and easily. Premade dough also requires a shorter cooking time than homemade dough.
