CAUTION！The appliance and accessories are extremely hot! Always use oven mitt or the fetch
tool. Handle with care to avoid injury.
Tips:
➢Foods that are smaller in size usually require a slightly shorter cooking time than larger ones.
➢Turning foods halfway during the cooking process will assure that all the pieces are evenly cooked.
➢Misting a bit of vegetable oil to fresh potatoes is suggested for a crispier result. When adding a little
oil, do it only before the start of the cooking process.
➢Place a baking tin in the air fryer oven when baking cake, quiche, fragile or filled foods.
➢You can also use the air fryer oven to reheat foods. Simply set the temperature to 150℃ for up to
10 minutes.
➢Cut into thin slices of about 5mm, and evenly arrange the air flow racks in the oven. It is best to
keep a little space in the middle to facilitate the circulation of hot air.
