WARNING: This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other).
This plug is intended to fit into a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does
not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified
electrician. Do not attempt to modify the plug in any way or force it into the outlet.
This could result in injury or electric shock.
SHORT CORD INSTRUCTIONS
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.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
By blowing hot air around food in a small space, the TurboFry
®
Touch Air Fryer cooks
faster than a traditional oven, which means you can enjoy your favorite hot foods in mere
minutes. A basic touch-screen control panel and simple two-piece basket make cooking
and cleanup a breeze.
BEFORE FIRST USE
For best results, follow these steps before using your air fryer for the first time.
1. Remove all packaging materials, read and remove any stickers on unit (except for rating
label on bottom, which should remain on unit), and check to ensure that all parts and
accessories are accounted for.
2. Wipe down the interior and exterior with a damp cloth.
3. Wash the basket and basket rack with warm, soapy water. Dry thoroughly.
HOW TO COOK IN THE AIR FRY
You can cook just about any food in the TurboFry
®
Touch Air Fryer that you would cook
in a conventional oven. While it offers more capacity than some conventional air fryers, its
high-speed fan cooks your favorite foods quickly. The wire rack in the basket allows air to
circulate around foods for even cooking and crisping and lets excess fat to drip down and
away from foods for healthier eating.
CAUTION: Never fill the basket with oil. Unlike deep fryers, air fryers require little to no oil
to produce a crisp texture. If you choose to use oil, toss foods with just a little in a separate
bowl before cooking in the air fryer.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Prepare the food(s) you plan to air fry.
2. Set the air fryer on a hard, flat surface and plug it in. The control panel will illuminate
and the default temperature and time (400˚F and 15 minutes respectively) will
alternate on the display.
3. Pull out basket. Insert basket rack, aligning the arrow on the rack with the arrow on the
inside of the basket. (For easiest handling of the basket rack, pinch center grip bar with
thumb and index finger.)
CAUTION: Never spray basket or rack with cooking oil from an aerosol spray can, which
includes harsh components that can cause chipping of the nonstick coating. However,
you can oil the tray or spray it with oil from a non-aerosol mister.
4. Put food on fry rack. Do not let food surpass the MAX line embossed on the basket.
5. Slide basket into the Air Fryer.
6. Set time and temperature as desired. To set temperature, press TEMP (a small
thermometer icon will appear on display) and then either the + or – signs to add
or subtract five degrees at a time. To set time (up to 1 hour), press TIME (a small
clock will appear on display) and then + or – to add or subtract time in one-minute
increments. For fast scrolling, hold button down; note that time will jump to the nearest
multiple of 5 and then advance in 5-minute intervals. As you approach desired time or
temperature, pulse button to slow down.

11
7. Press Start. The fan will come on and animated dashes will display across the control
panel indicating the unit is heating.
NOTE: During cooking, you can remove the basket to check on, turn, or shake
foods. When you return the basket to the unit, the timer and heating will resume
where it left off.
8. During cooking, the word Shake will illuminate on the control panel and the air fryer will
beep as a reminder to shake (or flip) foods as necessary. (Shake light will turn off when
the basket is removed.) If your food does not need to be shaken, flipped, or turned,
simply ignore the warning, which will go off automatically after a brief period of time if
basket was not pulled out.
9. When the timer is done, the air fryer will turn off automatically. Remove the basket from
the air fryer. Check food for doneness, then carefully transfer food to plates or a platter
and serve.
NOTE: On first use, unit may emit a slight odor, which is normal and will dissipate with
use.

AIR FRYER COOKING TIPS
• Preheat the air fryer for 5 minutes before cooking. While not necessary,
preheating the unit will cook foods faster and promote crisp results. If unit
is cold, add a few minutes to your expected cooking time.
CAUTION: Be careful when adding food after preheating as inside of
fryer will be hot.
• For a crisp exterior, oil foods lightly. Some foods, especially if fresh,
benefit from being tossed with a little oil in a separate bowl before frying.
However, high-fat foods like a well marbled steak, or prepared foods
usually require no additional oil.
• Avoid wet batters. Loose batters, such as those used for deep frying, do
not work in air fryers, as the batter simply slides off. Adapt such recipes
to give foods a thicker coating, preferably including breadcrumbs to help
the coating adhere.
• Use medium-high to high heat for most cooking. Most foods will fry
best between 325˚F and 400˚F. For gentler cooking and reheating, use a
lower temperature to avoid overcooking.
• Don’t overcrowd the basket. Too much food, especially if tightly packed,
can inhibit browning and crisping. A better bet: Fry food in batches.

13
• Shake the basket during cooking for even cooking. A good shake is
especially beneficial for smaller items like french fries, onion rings, and
chicken wings. For larger or more fragile foods, consider gently tossing or
flipping for even results.
• Check on foods early. Check foods on the earlier side of cooking time;
you can always slide the basket back in to continue cooking.
• Follow food safety guidelines for doneness. Because air fryer
temperatures and food sizes can vary, do not rely on recipe timing only
when cooking food. Check foods for doneness against current safety
guidelines before serving.

TROUBLESHOOTING FAQS
Why is there white smoke coming from my unit?
White smoke can be a sign that there’s too much fat in the fryer. Avoid
cooking very fatty foods, such as sausages, in the air fryer, and be sure the
basket, rack, and heating coil are clean before cooking.
CAUTION: Black smoke indicates a more serious problem. In the rare case
that you see black smoke coming from the unit, immediately unplug fryer,
contact customer service, and do not use the fryer until issue is resolved.
Why has my food cooked unevenly?
Two culprits are likely: overcrowding and not shaking. Fill basket loosely with
food in order to let air circulate and shake, toss, or flip foods at least once
during cooking for more even results.
Why isn’t my food crisp?
Though you can air fry with no added oil, coating foods very lightly with oil
(usually just ½ teaspoon per batch for most recipes) helps guarantee crisp
results. Preheating the fryer also helps.

15
The nonstick coating on the basket and rack makes the TurboFry® Touch Air
Fryer easy to clean following the steps below.
1. Unplug unit. Allow unit, basket, and basket rack to cool completely before
cleaning. (For faster cooling, keep hot basket out of the unit.)
2. To remove the cooled rack from basket, insert your thumb and index finger
into the ovals in the center of the rack, pinch the center grip bar, and pull
rack straight up and out of basket.
3. Wash the basket and rack with warm soapy water, rinse, and dry
well with a towel for best results. Basket and rack are also top-rack
dishwasher-safe.
4. Wipe down the outside and the inside of the unit, including the heating
coil, with a damp cloth as needed. Do not put the unit in the dishwasher or
submerge in water or any other liquid.
5. Do not use abrasive cleansers on basket, rack, exterior, or interior, or you
could damage the finishes.
