Cooking with the Power Air Fryer Oven
Tips
Warning
1. Place the ingredients on an Air Flow Rack
,
one of the Rotisserie accessories,or in the
Rotating Cage.
2. Put the Air Flow Rack, Rotating Mesh
Basket or Rotisserie Spit,into the unit and
shut the oven door. Plug the power cord
into the 120V, dedicated outlet.
3. When Rotating Cage or Rotisserie
and food is in place, Press the Power
Button once (page 11,fig.1)
4. Select a preset function (page 11,
figs.7-14)
or manually set the Temperature and then
the Time (page 11
,
figs.4 and 5). Refer to the
detailed Control Panel instructions on page 11.
5. If a preset function was selected,the Unit will
automatically start the cooking cycle. On the
other hand,if the Temperature and Time were
set manually,you need to press the Power
Button to begin the cooking cycle.
NOTE: You may open the oven door to view the
rotisserie at any time during the process to check
the progress.
NOTE: Consult the Charts in this manual or the
Recipe Books to determine the correct settings.
Foods that are smaller in size usually
require a slightly shorter cooking time
than larger ones.
Large quantities of food only require a
slightly longer cooking time than smaller
quantities.
"Flipping" or turning smaller sized foods
halfway through the cooking process,
assures that all the pieces are evenly fried.
Misting a bit of vegetable oil to fresh
potatoes is suggested for a crispier
result.When adding a little oil,do so just
before cooking.
Snacks normally cooked in an oven can also
be cooked in the Power Air Fryer Oven.
Use pre-made dough to prepare filled snacks
quickly and easily. Pre-made dough also
requires a shorter cooking time than
homemade dough.
Place a baking tin or oven dish in the Power
Air Fryer Oven when baking a cake or
quiche. A tin or dish is also suggested when
cooking fragile or filled foods.
You can use the Power Air Fryer Oven to
reheat foods. Simply set the temperature to
300°F(150°C) for up 10 minutes.
Important
Removing Cooked or Hot Food
When removing cooked or hot food use the Rotisserie Fetch
Tool(fig. A),or oven Mitts. Fetch Tool can also be used with
Rotisserie Spit.
During the cooking process, the Rotating Cage and
other accessories will become very hot. When you
remove it to check on the progress, make sure you
have a trivet or a heat resistant surface nearby to set it
down on. NEVER place the Rotating Cage directly on
a counter top or table.
Cooking accessories will get hot during the
air frying process.Wear oven mitts and
handle with care to AVOID INJURY.
