17271-17449-17450_CRUXARTISAN_DigitalAirFryer_IM_r10.indd 417271-17449-17450_CRUXARTISAN_DigitalAirFryer_IM_r10.indd 4 2021-12-13 12:42 PM2021-12-13 12:42 PM

Notes on the Plug

This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To

reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug will ﬁt in 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 modify the plug in any

way.

Notes on the Cord

A. A short power-supply cord (or detachable power-supply cord) is to be

provided to reduce the risk resulting from becoming entangled in or

tripping over a longer cord.

B. Longer detachable power-supply cords or extension cords are available

and may be used if care is exercised in their use.

C. If a long detachable power-supply cord or extension cord is used :

1. The marked electrical rating of the cord or extension cord should

be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance;

2. If the appliance is of the grounded type, the extension cord

should be a grounding-type3-wire cord;

3. The longer cord should be arranged so that it does not drape over

the countertop or table top where it can be pulled on by children

or tripped over unintentionally

START

button.

NOTE: The quantity, density, weight of food will alter the total cooking time necessary.

Remember, frying smaller batches will result in shorter cooking times and higher food quality.

IMPORTANT: Always check food halfway through cooking time to determine ﬁnal cook

TIME and TEMP.

3. To adjust the air frying TIME during operation, press the or on the right side of the

control panel to advance or decrease time in 1 minute increments to 60 minutes. Press the

or on the left side of the control panel to adjust TEMP in 5 degree increments.

AIR FRYING TECHNIQUE

1. Please consult the Air Frying Chart and/or follow package directions for suggested TIME and TEMP.

2. Always pat food dry before cooking to encourage browning and avoid excess smoke.

3. To assure even cooking/browning, ALWAYS open the basket drawer halfway through the cook

time and check, turn or shake foods in the frying basket. Some recipes may call for brush or

spray oil halfway through cooking. Adjust TIME or TEMP if needed.

CAUTION: Always use oven mitts when handling the hot air fryer basket.

CAUTION: Hot oil can collect at the base of the drawer. To avoid risk of burns or personal injury, or

to avoid oil from contaminating air fried foods, always unlock and remove the frying basket from

the drawer before emptying. NEVER turn the drawer upside down with the frying basket attached.

4. Allow cooked foods to rest for 5 to 10 minutes. Remove the drawer from the machine and place

on a ﬂat, heat resistant surface. Then remove crisping tray from the drawer.

5. Shake air fried foods out onto serving area. Promptly return the frying basket to the drawer and

lock into place. Continue air frying subsequent batches, if any.

6. To avoid excess smoke, when cooking naturally high fat foods, such as bacon, chicken wings or

sausages, it may be necessary to empty fat from the frying basket drawer between batches.

7. For crispier results, air fry small batches of freshly breaded foods. Create more surface area

by cutting food into smaller pieces. Press breading onto food to help it adhere. Refrigerate

breaded foods for at least 30 minutes before frying.

8. Arrange breaded food in frying basket so that food is not touching to allow air ﬂow on all surfaces.

9. Spray oils work best. Oil is distributed evenly and less oil is needed. Canola, olive, avocado,

coconut, grapeseed, peanut, or vegetable oil work well.

10. Unplug the Air Fryer when not in use.

A NOTE ON AIR FRYING PRE-PACKAGED FROZEN FOODS

1. Where microwave ovens often produce hot, mushy results and toaster ovens take forever, air

frying assures reasonably fast, crispy, delicious results!

2. As a rule, depending on the food and amount to be cooked, suggested cook TIMES may have

to be reduced slightly. Always check food halfway through cooking time to determine ﬁnal

cook TIME and TEMP.

3. Always check cooking progress after TIME has expired.

AIR FRYING CHART (INCLUDES PRESET FOOD MENU ITEMS)

WARNING! Times are estimated and based on average sizes and weights.

ALWAYS USE A MEAT THERMOMETER TO ENSURE THAT MEAT, POULTRY AND FISH ARE

COOKED THOROUGHLY BEFORE SERVING.

NOTE: Frying smaller batches will result in shorter cooking times and higher food quality. Adjust air

frying temperatures and times as necessary to suit your taste.

NOTE: Unless food is pre-packaged and pre-oiled, for browned and crispy results, all foods should be

lightly oiled before air frying.

Lemon Za’atar Chicken with Eggplant & Zucchini

Za’atar is popular Middle Eastern spice mixture dating back to ancient times. We have enveloped the

chicken with this aromatic blend of thyme, sumac, wild oregano and toasted sesame seeds. Fresh

lemon adds moist citrus notes.

The Air Fryer is the perfect tool for preparing moist and luscious, roasted chicken, the frying basket

allows drippings (liquid ﬂavor) to permeate the vegetables and stream down into the

easy-to-clean drawer.

Serves 6

1 (3 1/2 - 4 1/2 lb) whole chicken

1 lemon, zested and halved

1 teaspoon salt, divided

1 Chinese eggplant

1 zucchini

1 cup za’atar seasoning

1. Remove the chicken giblets.

2. Rinse the chicken inside and out. Trim all excess fat and use paper towels to pat dry.

Work your hands inside the chicken skin to loosen from the meat. Use a sharp paring

knife to puncture all fat pockets. Make 3 to 4 slits along the chicken’s backbone to relieve

extra fat.

3. Liberally coat the chicken inside and out with za’atar. Generously rub za’atar under

the chicken skin. Squeeze each lemon half over the chicken; squeeze again and place

inside the chicken cavity.

4. Tuck the wing tips under the body of the chicken. To ensure crispy skin,

refrigerate the chicken uncovered for 30 minutes before air frying.

5. Trim the eggplant and zucchini, cut into discs, then use to cover the bottom of the

Air Fryer basket. Lay the chicken, breast side down, onto the bed of vegetables.

6. Air Fry at 360°F.

7. Turn the chicken over, breast side up. Sprinkle lemon zest over the breast of the chicken.

8. Continue air frying at 365ºF for 25 minutes, or until the juices run clear when you cut

between a leg and thigh or when a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of

the thigh reads 170ºF/77ºC - 180ºF/82ºC.

9. Remove the chicken and vegetables to a platter and tent with aluminum foil for about

20 minutes. Slice the chicken onto a platter and serve it with the vegetables.
