AIR FRYER
Model CC7115

■2 39 ■
Introduction
The AIR FRYER makes cooking quick, convenient and most importantly—
healthy. By using rapid hot air convection cooking techologies, the AIR
FRYER evenly circulates hot air to cook fresh or frozen foods, giving them
the same crunchy bite and moist interiors produced by conventional deep
fryers. And food is never submerged in cooking oils or fats while cooking.
The AIR FRYER can bake, broil and steam a wide variety of foods, such as
meats, vegetables, pizzas and even cakes. Get started with the great recipes
that follow—and enjoy!

Cooking Advice
• Smaller ingredients usually require a slightly shorter cooking time than
larger ingredients.
• Shaking smaller ingredients halfway during the preparation time
optimizes the end result and can help prevent unevenly fried ingredients.
• A small amount of oil (3–4 tbsp.) can be added to the pan for achieving
a crispy texture. Never overll, as this will damage the AIR FRYER. Use
caution when removing the pan from the unit, as ingredients and oil will
be very hot.
• A small amount of water (3–4 tbsp.) can be added to the pan for
steaming food. Never overll, as this will damage the AIR FRYER. Use
caution when removing the pan from the unit, as ingredients—and
any remaining steam or water—will be very hot.
• Because the Rapid Air technology reheats the air inside the appliance
instantly, pulling the pan out of the appliance briey during hot air frying
barely disturbs the process.
• Frozen foods, such as fries, chicken nuggets and sh sticks can be
prepared by following the “Settings” chart on the inside back cover.
• Snacks that can be prepared in an oven can also be prepared in the
AIR FRYER.
• Place a glass, silicone or metal oven-safe dish in the AIR FRYER basket
when baking a cake or quiche, or frying fragile or lled ingredients.
• For a crispy texture, spritz vegetable, olive or non-stick oil over
ingredients in the basket. Process in the AIR FRYER within a few
minutes after adding the oil.
• You can also use the AIR FRYER to reheat ingredients by setting the
temperature to 300°F for up to 10 minutes.
