SAFEGUARDS
CAUTION HOT SURFACES: This appliance generates heat and escaping steam
during use. Proper precautions must be taken to prevent the risk of burns, res
or other damage to persons or property.
CAUTION: This appliance is hot during operation and retains heat for some time
after unplugging. Always use oven mitts when handling hot materials and allow

3. Do not leave this appliance unattended during use.
4. The appliance is only to be operated in the closed position
Notes on the Plug
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other).
To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug will t in a polarized outlet only one
way. If the plug does not t fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not
t, contact a qualied electrician. Do not modify the plug in any way.
Notes on the Cord
A. A short power-supply cord (or detachable power-supply cord) is to be
provided to reduce the risk resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping
over a longer cord.
B. Longer detachable power-supply cords or extension cords are available and
may be used if care is exercised in their use.
C. If a long detachable power-supply cord or extension cord is used:
1. The marked electrical rating of the cord or extension cord should be at
least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance;
2. If the appliance is of the grounded type, the extension cord should be a
grounding-type3-wire cord;
3. The longer cord should be arranged so that it does not drape over
the countertop or table top where it can be pulled on by children or
tripped over unintentionally.
Plasticizer Warning
CAUTION: To prevent Plasticizers from migrating to the nish of the counter
top or table top or other furniture, place NON-PLASTIC coasters or place mats
between the appliance and the nish of the counter top or table top. Failure to
do so may cause the nish to darken; permanent blemishes may occur or
stains can appear.

frying is needed, adjust temperature if desired, and set timer for 2 minute increments until fully
cooked.
12. Allow cooked food to rest for 5 to 10 seconds before removing basket from Air Fryer orfoodfrom
frying basket.
13. When air frying is nished, remove the basket from the machine and place on a at, heat resistant
surface.
14. Shake air fried foods out onto serving area. Promptly return the frying basket to the Air Fryer.

Air Frying Technique
1. Please consult the Air Frying Chart and/or follow package directions for suggested time and
temperature.
2. Always pat food dry before cooking to encourage browning and avoid excess smoke.
3. To assure even cooking/browning, ALWAYS open the basket halfway through the cook time and
check, turn or shake foods in the frying basket. Some recipes may call for brush or spray oil halfway
through cooking. Adjust TIME if needed.
WARNING: Extreme caution must be used when handling the hot frying basket. Avoid escaping
steam from the frying basket and the food.
CAUTION: Always use oven mitts when handling the hot air fryer basket.
4. If additional air frying is needed, timer dial to extend cook time for 2 minutes
or until food tests done.
5. Allow cooked foods to rest for 5 to 10 minutes. Remove the basket from the machine and place
on a at, heat resistant surface.
6. Shake air fried foods out onto serving area. Promptly return the frying basket to the Air Fryer.
Continue air frying subsequent batches, if any.
7. To avoid excess smoke, when cooking naturally high fat foods, such as bacon, chicken wings or
sausages, it may be necessary to empty fat from the frying basket between batches.
8. For crispier results, air fry small batches of freshly breaded foods. Create more surface area by
cutting food into smaller pieces. Press breading onto food to help it adhere. Refrigerate breaded
foods for at least 30 minutes before frying.
9. Arrange breaded food in frying basket so that food is not touching to allow air ow on all surfaces.
10. Spray oils work best. Oil is distributed evenly and less oil is needed. Canola, olive, avocado,
coconut, grapeseed, peanut, or vegetable oil work well.
11. TO REHEAT FOOD, air fry food for 5 minutes. Remove the basket to interrupt air frying at
any time to check on food serving temperature. Repeat to extend air fry time until food is heated
to your liking.
12. Unplug the Air Fryer when not in use.
A Note on Air Frying Pre-Packaged Frozen Foods
1. Where microwave ovens often produce hot, mushy results and toaster ovens take forever, air frying
assures reasonably fast, crispy, delicious results!
2. As a rule, depending on the food and amount to be cooked, suggested cook times may have to be
reduced slightly. Always check food halfway through cooking time to determine nal cook time.
3. Always check cooking progress after time has expired. If additional air frying is needed,
air fry food for 2 minutes at 400ºF.
4. Check at 1 minute intervals until food tests done.
