10 ∙ Using Your Digital Air Fryer Using Your Digital Air Fryer ∙ 11
Before using your Air Fryer:
• Remove all packaging materials.
• Check that the Air Fryer has no visible damage and that no parts are missing.
• Before using the appliance for the rst time or before using it after prolonged storage, wash and dry the
appliance and any accompanying accessories. See “Cleaning & Maintenance” for instructions.
1 Place the appliance on a stable, at, heat-resistant surface
at least 6 inches from the wall. Plug the Air Fryer into a wall
socket. The Power Button will illuminate.
2 Remove the Crisper Drawer from the Air Fryer. Place food
in the Crisper Drawer on the Crisper Tray. The Crisper Tray
helps circulate air around your food and helps keep excess oil
made by your food from pooling around your food. There is
no need to add any oil as the appliance works with hot air.
3 Slide the Crisper Drawer back inside the Air Fryer. Press the
Power Button. The display will illuminate. The default time
is 15 minutes and the default temperature is 370°F. Set your
time and temperature to the correct setting using the "Up"
and "Down" Buttons. You may press and hold the "Up" and
"Down" buttons to quickly adjust the time and temperature
or individual presses of the "Up" and "Down" buttons will
adjust the time by 1 minute and the temperature by 10
degree increments. Refer to the Temperature & Time Chart
to determine the correct settings.
4 Press the Power Button again to start the Air Fryer.
The Heating Light will automatically turn on. The Timer will
begin to count down from the set time. The Digital Display
will ash between the temperature and remaining time.
5 For even results, some foods require shaking halfway through
the preparation time. See the Temperature & Time Chart for
recommendations. Remove the Crisper Drawer from the appliance.
The Air Fryer will pause while the Crisper Drawer is removed. Shake
the Crisper Drawer gently from side to side. Slide the Crisper
Drawer back into the Air Fryer. The Air Fryer will automatically
turn back on and continue to count down the time.

6 When you hear the Timer ring 5 times, the preparation time
has elapsed. The Display will turn off but the Power Button
will remain illuminated. Pull the Crisper Drawer out of the
appliance and place it on a heat-resistant surface.
7 If you would like to stop air frying before the set time, simply
press the Power Button. The Air Fryer will shut off within
15-30 seconds. To shut off the Air Fryer immediately, remove
the Crisper Drawer.
8 To remove items from the Crisper Drawer use tongs. Do
not turn over the Crisper Drawer to prevent any oil that has
collected on the bottom of the Crisper Drawer from being
spilled onto the food. Excess oil from any foods will be
collected at the bottom of the Crisper Drawer. Allow the
appliance to cool before disposing of any excess oil.
Tips & Tricks
Air frying smaller items or fewer items will require a slightly shorter cooking time than larger items or more
items.
Shaking smaller items halfway during the preparation time optimizes the end result and can help prevent
unevenly fried foods.
Soak fresh potatoes in water for 30 minutes, then add a small amount of oil for a crispy result. Fry your
potatoes in the air fryer within a few minutes of adding the oil.
Do not prepare extremely greasy items, such as sausages, in the Air Fryer.
Snacks like chicken nuggets and mozzarella sticks, that can be prepared in an oven can also be prepared in
the Air Fryer.
Use store bought dough to prepare lled snacks like calzones quickly and easily. Items made with store-
bought dough will require a shorter preparation time than homemade dough.
Use a baking pan in the Crisper Drawer if you want to bake a cake or quiche or if you want to fry fragile or
lled items.
You can also use the Air Fryer to reheat foods. To reheat food, set the temperature to 300°F for up to 10
minutes.

PAGE TITLE maintenance
Cleaning & Maintenance ∙ 1514 ∙ Temperature & Time Chart
Please keep in mind that these temperatures and times are merely guidelines. Actual cooking times may
vary depending on the size, shape, and amount of food. When air frying a new item always make sure that
your food is cooked properly before consumption. According to the USDA, the safe internal temperature for
poultry is 165°F and for beef is 160°F.

Troubleshooting
PROBLEM POSSIBLE CAUSE SOLUTION
The Air Fryer
does not work.
The appliance is
not plugged in. Plug the mains plug into a grounded wall socket.
The food is not
done after the
recommended
time is up.
Too much food
has been added
to the Crisper
Drawer.
Use less food and cook in batches if necessary. Your
food will also cook more evenly
The temperature
was set too low.
Set the temperature to the required temperature
setting (see section “Time & Temperature Chart”).
Food is fried
unevenly in the
Air Fryer.
Certain types of
food need to be
shaken halfway
through the
preparation time.
Items that lie on top of or across each other (e.g.
fries) need to be shaken halfway through the prepara-
tion time (see section “Settings”).
Snacks are not
crispy when they
come out of the
Air Fryer.
The food was not
dry enough or
needs more oil.
Make sure to properly dry the food or lightly brush
some oil onto the snacks for a crispier result.
I cannot slide the
Crisper Drawer
into the appliance
properly.
There is too much
food in the Crisp-
er Drawer.
Do not overll the Crisper Drawer.
White smoke is
coming out of the
appliance.
Your food is too
greasy.
When you fry greasy items in the Air Fryer, a large
amount of fat will leak into the Crisper Drawer, The
fat produces white smoke and the Crisper Drawer
may heat up more than usual. This does not affect the
appliance or the end result.
PROBLEM POSSIBLE CAUSE SOLUTION
The Crisper
Drawer still
contains residue
from previous
use.
White smoke is caused by grease heating up in the
Crisper Drawer. Make sure you clean the Crisper
Drawer properly after each use
Fresh fries are
fried unevenly in
the Air Fryer.
Certain types of
food need to be
shaken halfway
through the
preparation time.
Items that lie on top of or across each other (e.g.
fries) need to be shaken halfway through the
preparation time (see section “Settings”).
Fresh fries are not
crispy when they
come out of the
Air Fryer.
The crispiness of
the fries depends
on the amount of
oil and water in
the fries.
Make sure you dry the potato sticks properly before
you add the oil.
Cut the potato sticks smaller for a crispier result.
Add slightly more oil for a crispier result.

Carne Asada Tacos
DIRECTIONS: Combine ank steak with all marinade ingredients and toss to combine. Let marinate
for a minimum of 4 hours, or overnight. Remove steak from marinade. Heat a medium sauté pan
with the vegetable oil on high heat. Add the steak and sear each side for 2-3 minutes, or until well
browned. Place the steak into the Air Fryer, 1 at a time, and air fry for 30-40 minutes depending on
desired doneness. Pour the remainder of marinade into a sauté pan and cook on medium heat for
10-15 minutes. Remove the marinade from the heat and strain to extract jus. Remove steak from the Air
Fryer and let rest for 10 minutes. Slice into ½” cubes. Assemble tacos with corn tortillas, steak, avocado,
tomato, and cilantro. Serve with small bowl of jus, if desired.
Pro Tip:
30 minutes will result in a medium-rare steak. Add time for more well-done steaks. Cooking the
marinade for longer periods of time will result in thicker and saltier just as the water reduces. Adjust
cooking times depending on your level of desired thickness and taste.

and ensuring bacon does not overlap. Fry at 370ºF for 10 minutes. Remove and use paper towels to
remove some of the grease on top of the bacon. Place back into Air Fry and fry at 400ºF for 5 minutes.
Drain on paper towels and serve.
Pro Tip:
You can adjust the length of the last few minutes at 400ºF depending on how crispy you like your
bacon!
