attempt to modify the plug in any way or force it into the outlet. This could result in injury
or electric shock.

A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the hazards of entanglement or tripping
over a longer cord. Longer detachable power-supply cords or extension cords are available
and may be used if care is exercised in their use. If a longer detachable power-supply
extension cord is used:
1. The marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least as great as the
electrical rating of the appliance.
2. The cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or
tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over.

and press that button; the button will turn blue and the programmed temperature and
time will alternate in the control panel. (If desired, you can adjust the preset time and
temperature by pressing the TEMP/TIME button then adjusting the time or temp using
the Minus and Plus buttons.)
NOTE: The time and temperature settings are recommendations; check foods for
doneness according to proper food guidelines before consuming.
If not using presets, adjust the time and temperature as desired.
NOTE: Temperature for Bake and Air Fry ranges from 200°F to 400°F. Time ranges
from 1 minute to 2 hours for Bake and from 1 minute to 1 hour for Air Fry. For Dehydrate,
the time range is 30 minutes to 24 hours, and the temperature range is 95°F to 200°F.
7. Press the START button. The button will turn red, the fan will turn on, and cooking will
begin.
NOTE: During cooking you can check on foods by pressing the Light button on the
control panel and viewing through the door window. You can also open the oven door
to check; the interior light will come on and the Air Fryer+ will pause all functions. Unit
will save time and temp settings so that when door is closed again, cooking will resume
from saved point. You can also press STOP/CANCEL at any time to stop cooking.

will not occur automatically when using these accessories. The Rotate button will turn
blue when initiated and may be turned off or on at any time during cooking with the
Air Fry or Bake functions.

food for doneness according to proper food safety guidelines and cook for more time if
necessary.

11
10. Carefully remove food. Use potholders or oven mitts when removing hot pans, racks, or
trays. If using the spit or rotisserie rack, use the fetch tool in one hand and a potholder
or oven mitt in the other to remove hot basket or spit (see p. 13 for more detailed
directions).
11. Transfer hot pans, racks, or trays to a heat-resistant surface.
12. Use tongs to handle hot foods, then serve and enjoy!
CAUTION: This unit cooks with hot air only; never heat a cooking vessel filled with oil or
any other liquid with this unit as a fire hazard or personal injury could result.
How to Use the Rotisserie Basket (Max: 4 lb.)
Cooking foods in the basket using the Rotate function ensures foods cook up evenly. Though
you can use it for baking, the basket works especially well when air frying small pieces of
foods, such as french fries, chicken wings, and Brussels sprouts. It is not recommended for
dehydrating, and the Rotate function is not available with the Dehydrate function.
1. Ensure drip tray is in bottom of unit.
2. Open door of basket and place seasoned food in it. (For best results, leave room inside
basket; for french fries, use 2 pounds maximum.)
3. Shut basket door and be sure it’s securely closed.
4. Hold the closed basket in your hands so that squared shaft is on the left.
5. Guide the basket into the rotisserie rack position by placing the left shaft into rotisserie
gear located on the left interior wall. Once in place, lift and lay the right shaft on the
rotisserie holder located on the right interior wall.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
6. Close door and proceed with cooking following the directions on p. 9 beginning with
Step 5 and choosing the Air Fry or Bake function. CAUTION: Cooking basket will get
hot during cooking. Use fetch tool and oven mitts and handle with care to avoid injury.
Be sure to place hot basket on a heat-resistant surface to avoid damage.
How to Use the Rotisserie Spit (Max: 4 lb.)
The spit is perfect for roasting a whole chicken to even, crisp perfection and for slowly
cooking whole boneless pieces of meat, such as beef or pork tenderloins. You can also
experiment with roasting a small cauliflower head or a peeled pineapple.
1. Ensure drip tray is in bottom of unit.
2. If using the spit to cook a whole chicken, be sure giblets are removed. Season chicken
as desired and truss tightly. (For best results, be sure the chicken will fit in the oven
with room to rotate; a 3 to 3½ lb. chicken works well.) Run the spit through the bird
lengthwise, starting at the cavity in the back. Carefully slide spit forks onto shaft on
both ends, sinking them deep into the breast meat at one end and the thigh meat at
the other end. Lock forks in place with screws leaving at least 1 inch of free space on
both ends of the rod. The chicken should be secure and should not be able to slide
around on spit.
If using the spit to cook a piece of meat, carefully force the spit lengthwise through
the center of the meat. Carefully slide spit forks onto shaft on both ends, inserting
prongs deeply into meat. Lock forks in place with screws leaving at least 1 inch of free
space on both ends of the rod. The meat should be secure and should not be able to
slide around on spit.
CAUTION: Spit forks are sharp; handle with care.

13
3. Hold the spit, with the meat or chicken secured on it, so that squared shaft is on the left.
4. Guide the spit into the rotisserie position by placing left shaft into rotisserie gear located
on the left interior wall. Once in place, lift and lay the right shaft on the rotisserie holder
located on the right interior wall. Be sure meat or chicken can rotate freely in air fryer.
Close door and proceed with cooking following the directions on p. 9. beginning with
Step 5 and choosing the Bake or Air Fry function,
CAUTION: Spit and basket get hot during cooking. Use fetch tool and oven mitts and
handle with care to avoid injury.
How to Use the Fetch Tool
The fetch tool is handy for removing the hot spit or basket from the Air Fryer+.
1. Hold the fetch tool by its handle with one hand. Have a potholder or oven mitt in or on
other hand.
2. Guide the fetch tool into the unit, positioning prongs below the shafts of the rotisserie
spit or basket.
3. Use the tool to lift the right side of the rotisserie spit. Once it is free, lift the left side.
4. Carefully guide the hot rotisserie spit or basket and food from the Air Fryer+.
5. Transfer it to a heat-resistant surface.
CAUTION: Spit and basket get hot during cooking; use care when removing to avoid
injury.
