KNOW YOUR AIR FRYER OVEN
Fry, bake, toast, and broil with your Cook’s Companion 22 Quart Air Fryer
Oven. This innovative and multifunctional appliance uses Rapid Hot Air
Technology to cook food faster and make meals healthier. The air frying
mechanism works by circulating super-hot air around your food. This
delivers the same crispy texture and rich flavor of your favorite fried foods
⁠—with little to no oil. That means less fat and calories! The unit can also be
used as your regular, everyday toaster/convection oven and features 4
easy-to-use functions: toast, air fry, bake, and broil. The Cook’s Companion
22 Quart Air Fryer Oven contains six heating elements ⁠—four on top, two on

6
B422393 - 190918
the bottom. A built-in 60-minute timer and adjustable thermostat of up to
450°F let you customize cooking for every dish. A built-in safety micro switch
automatically stops operation when the door is open. The air fryer oven
includes a drip tray/baking pan, air frying basket, baking rack, tray handle,
and crumb tray.
Indicator lights & Control knobs:
•The Power indicator light, located on the left side, turns blue once the
timer is activated, indicating the unit is currently on. It is used to set
desired time for all functions. Setting the oven timer powers the unit on
and begins the cooking cycle.
•The Heating indicator light, located on the right side of the unit, turns
orange when the unit heats up, and turns off once the set temperature
is reached. It will then cycle on and off as it regulates and maintains
the set temperature.
•The Function Dial is used to select the cooking method. Four different
functions are available, Air Fry, Broil, Bake, and Toast.
•The cooking process can be stopped at any moment by turning the
timer knob back to 0.
•The safety microswitch stops the cooking operation when the door is
open.
•Remember to turn the temperature knob back to the starting point
after each use to make sure you are adjusting correct temperature
settings for each cooking process.
BEFORE THE FIRST USE
•Unpack the appliance and accessories and wash and wipe everything
down. Wipe the interior of the oven with a damp cloth or sponge. Dry
with a paper towel. Make sure the oven is dry before operating the
unit.
•Position the oven on a flat and heat resistant surface so that it is also
positioned at least 4 inches (10cm) away from any surrounding object.
•Unwind and plug in the power cord into the wall outlet. Place the
crumb tray inside on the bottom of the unit. Make sure unit is clean and
everything has been taken out of the oven.

7
B422393 - 190918
•It is normal if some smoke or smell emanates from the appliance when
using it for the first time. This is not harmful. To eliminate any packing oil
that may remain after production, we recommend operating the
appliance for 20 minutes, putting the thermostat on its maximum
temperature setting.
Tips:
•Baking rack positioning: the baking rack can be slid into any of the
3 levels available.
•Always place the baking pan / drip tray on the lowest level when
cooking with the basket or baking rack. The baking pan will catch
any grease or crumbs during the cooking cycle.

heating up. When the target temperature is reached the orange
Heating light will turn off and will then cycle on and off to maintain the
set temperature
•You can now place your food in the oven to start the cooking process
as the unit is fully preheated.
SETTINGS
BROIL FUNCTION
This mode is ideal for small cuts of meat, open sandwiches, poultry, fish,
and vegetables. The broil function can also be used to brown the top
dishes such as gratins or casseroles. When broiling, preheat oven for 10
minutes. We suggest using the top rack position for better results during this
cooking process.

8
B422393 - 190918

Note:
-Using the broil function usually requires shorter cooking time.
-Do not use glass oven dishes to broil.
-Food gets cooked quickly during broil, it is best to watch over food to
not overcook.
Caution: Aluminum foil is not recommended for covering the accessories. If
covered, the foil prevents the fat from dripping into the drip tray. Grease
will accumulate on the foil surface and may catch fire. If you choose to use
foil to cover the Baking Pan/Drip Tray, be sure foil is cut to neatly fit into the
pan and does not touch the wall or heating elements.
BAKE FUNCTION
Use the bake function to cook cakes, baked goods, or to roast meats. This
mode can also be used with pre-packaged frozen meals. For best results
when cooking and baking, we recommend preheating the oven at least
for 10 minutes at the desired temperature setting.
•Begin by preheating the unit. See “Preheating” section.
•Once preheated, place the baking tray, rack or basket with food in the
unit.

spaced evenly on the rack as well as placed in the middle of the oven.
AIR FRY
Use the air fry function to Air Fry as a healthy alternative to frying without
the use of excess amounts of oil. This function lets you cook with less fat and
calories and gives the food a lighter and less greasy taste.
Preheating is not necessary for the air fry function but can be used to
speed up the cooking process. Keep in mind that preheating will interfere
with recommended cooking times. If the unit is already hot, remove 3
minutes from the recommended cooking time.
•Place the mesh basket or rack with food in the unit.

Notes:
-Although oil is not necessary, a small portion of oil can be sprayed on or
brushed on food for air frying. Make sure to distribute oil evenly on food.
-When cooking a large amount of food, it is recommended to flip food
halfway to ensure even cooking.
-Place the baking pan / drip tray on the lowest level when cooking if
cooking with the basket or baking rack. The baking pan will catch
any grease or crumbs during the cooking cycle.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
•Make sure to clean the appliance after each use! Cleaning regularly
prevents the accumulation of grease and helps avoid unpleasant
smells.
•Make sure the unit has been turned off by switching the timer to 0 and
setting the temperature knob back to the starting point. Unplug the
appliance from the outlet and allow it to cool completely.
•Do not immerse in water or wash under running water.
•The accessories are dishwasher safe except for the handle which
needs to be hand washed.
•Do not use metal kitchen utensils or abrasive cleaning materials to
clean them, as this may damage the non-stick coating. Rinse and dry
thoroughly after cleaning.
Inside cleaning
•Wipe cavity with a damp cloth or sponge. Dry with paper towel. To
remove baked on food, pour a little cooking oil on the food and allow
to stand for five to ten minutes. This should soften the food and allow it
to be removed with absorbent paper toweling or a soft cloth.
•Clean the inside of the glass door with a damp soapy cloth. If the glass
has stubborn stains, open the door and cover the inside of the door
with a few damp paper towels. Leave for a few minutes, then remove
the towels and wipe door clean. Never use sharp utensils as scratching
may weaken it and cause it to shatter.
•Never use abrasive products in the cavity. Never immerse the
appliance in water and make sure no water or damp penetrates the
appliance except the cavity.
•Make sure no water comes on the oven door when the latter is still hot.
Outside / outside door cleaning
1. Wipe clean with a damp sponge. Wipe dry
2. NEVER use steel wool, metal scouring pads or abrasive cleaners, as
they may damage the finish.
