• Unpack the appliance and its accessories (food basket, food basket holder, dual layer
rack). Wash the removable parts (food basket, food basket holder, dual layer rack) in hot,
soapy water and then wipe them dry. Wipe the interior of the frying cavity with a damp cloth
or sponge, and then dry with
a paper towel. Make sure that the cavity is dry before operating the unit.
• Position the Emeril™ Digital Airfryer Pro on a at, level, and heat-resistant surface, making
sure that it is also positioned at least 4 inches away from any surrounding objects.
• It is recommended to let the airfryer heat for about 20 minutes without any food in it. This
helps to eliminate grease that may have adhered during manufacturing and to eliminate the
“new” appliance smell.
• Ventilate the room during this period. When your airfryer is heated for the rst time, it may
emit slight smoke or odor. This is normal with many heating appliances. This does not affect
the safety of your airfryer.
Note: When moving the airfryer, make sure that you hold it securely. Support the base—do
not rely on the food basket handle when moving the fryer!

Emeril™Digital Airfryer Pro
MODEL: EML FT 42051
1. Preparing for use
• Place the appliance on a stable, horizontal and level surface. Make sure that the surface
is heat resistant and that the airfryer is also positioned at least 4 inches away from any
surrounding objects.
• Make sure that the food basket (4) is securely placed inside the basket holder (7)
• Insert the power plug into a wall socket. Your airfryer is now ready for use!
Caution!
• Do not ll the food basket or basket holder with oil or any other liquid, as this may
cause a re hazard!
• Never use the airfryer without the food basket in place.
• Keep all ingredients in the basket to prevent any contact with the appliance’s heating
elements. Do not overll the food basket.
• Do not cover the air inlet on the top or the air outlet on the back while the appliance
is in use.
• Do not touch the inside of the appliance while it is operating.
• Never immerse the unit’s housing in water or rinse it under the tap.
2. Using the appliance
The airfryer can be used to prepare a large variety of foods. Please refer to the table in the
section “Settings” hereinafter for basic cooking times, or refer to the included recipes.
1. Pull the handle (6) to carefully remove the food basket holder (7) from the Emeril™ Digital
Airfryer Pro (9).
2. Put the ingredients that you will be air-frying into the food basket (4), and place the basket
into the basket holder.
Note: Never ll the basket to capacity or exceed the recommended amount (see section
‘Settings’ in this chapter), as this could affect the quality of the cooking.
3. Slide the basket back into the Emeril™ Digital Airfryer Pro.
Caution! Never use the airfryer without the food basket and the food basket holder in
it!
Caution! Do not touch the food basket, basket holder, or the inside of the Airfryer
during and immediately after use, as they get very hot. Only hold the food basket by
its handle. Always use oven mitts. Unit is hot!
4. Turn the unit on by pressing the on/off button (3).
5. Press the temperature control buttons (1) to the required cooking temperature (See
section’ Settings’ in this chapter to determine the right temperature).
6. Determine the required preparation time for the ingredients (see section ‘Settings’ after
this chapter).
7. Press the timer control buttons (2) to the required cooking time.
8. Press the on/off switch (3) again.
9. The hot air circulation signal (c) will turn on and the fryer will quickly start generating hot

Operating Instructions

888-525-6745

AFTER SALES SUPPORT
Emeril™Digital Airfryer Pro
MODEL: EML FT 42051
10. The timer will start counting down the set time.
11. During the hot-air frying process, the preheating signal (b) will blink from time to time.
This indicates that the heating element is maintaining the set temperature. The signal will
stop blinking when this temperature is reached.
12. During cooking, some excess oil and cooking juices from the ingredients will collect in
the basket holder. This is normal.
13. Some recipes require shaking the food in the basket halfway through the set time
(see section ’Settings’ in this chapter). To shake the ingredients, pull the basket out of the
appliance using the handle and gently, but rmly, shake it. Slide the basket holder back into
the airfryer and continue to cook.
Note: Because the rapid hot-air technology instantly reheats the air inside of the appliance,
pulling the basket briey out of the appliance during hot air frying will not disturb the cooking
process.
Tip: Sometimes, it is easier to divide cooking times into 2 phases for recipes that require the
basket to be shaken mid-cooking. If you set the timer to half the required cooking time, you
will hear the timer bell go off when you have to shake the ingredients. Please note that after
shaking, you must set the timer again to the remaining preparation time.
Tip: If you set the timer to the full cooking time, the end cooking audible signal (5 beeps) will
not go off until cooking is completed. You can pull the basket out at any time to check the
cooking condition of the ingredients. The power will shut down automatically and resume
after you slide the basket holder back into the appliance. Note that the timer will stop
counting down in this situation.
14. When you hear the end cooking signal, the set preparation time has elapsed. Using oven
mitts and the handle (6), pull the basket holder out of the appliance and place it on a heat-
resistant surface.
Note: You can also switch the appliance off at any time. To do this, press the
“On/Off” button (3).
15. Check to see if the ingredients are ready. If they are not ready, simply slide the basket
back into the appliance and set the timer for a few extra minutes.
Caution! After hot airfrying, the basket, the basket holder and the ingredients will be hot!
Depending on the type of the ingredients in the airfryer, steam may escape out of the unit.
Be mindful of scalding and wear kitchen gloves for safety.
16. To detach the food basket from the basket holder, press on the basket release button (5).
Caution! Never press the release button unless the basket holder is resting on a at,
level, and heat resistant surface! The basket holder contains hot juices and fats after
cooking, and might otherwise tip or fall, and spill the hot liquid on the user. Risk of
severe scalding!
17. Holding the basket by the handle, empty the air-fried food into a bowl or onto a plate.

Emeril™Digital Airfryer Pro
MODEL: EML FT 42051
Tip: To remove large or fragile ingredients, you may use a pair of tongs to lift the ingredients
out of the basket. Use tongs or utensils with heat-resistant plastic tips, as metallic tips or
utensils may scratch the coating of the basket.
18. When a batch of food is ready, the airfryer is instantly ready for preparing another batch.
3. Using the dual layer rack and skewers
This airfryer includes a dual layer rack that increases the versatility of your appliance. You
can use the dual layer rack to increase your airfryer’s cooking surface by layering food
both underneath it and on top of it. You can also use it to cook or reheat 2 types of food
simultaneously, cooking one type of food underneath the dual layer rack and another type of
food on top. To use the dual layer rack, place it into the food basket, place your ingredients
on top and/or underneath it, and airfry as usual. We recommend placing your bottom layer of
ingredients into the basket before setting the dual layer rack on top.
Tip: To avoid excess liquids dripping onto the bottom layer of food, place the drier ingredients
on the top layer and the wetter ingredients on the bottom.
This dual layer rack is also ideal for increasing the capacity of “atter” foods, such as
hamburgers and sh, which can be cooked at once. You can place these kinds of ingredients
both under and on top of the dual layer rack.
The dual layer dual layer rack can also be used to cook with as many as 3 of the included
metal skewers. The skewers can placed on the upper part of the dual layer rack’s frame and
are great for airfrying meat, fruits, and vegetables.
Settings
The table below will help you select the basic settings for the ingredients you want to prepare.
Note: Keep in mind that these settings are suggestions.
Tips
- Any food that can be prepared in a traditional oven can also be prepared in the airfryer.
- Shaking smaller ingredients halfway through the preparation time optimizes the end result
and can help prevent unevenly air-fried food.
- Add some oil to fresh potatoes for a crispy result. Fry your ingredients in the airfryer within a
few minutes after adding the oil to them.
- Do not prepare extremely greasy or fatty ingredients, such as sausages, in the airfryer as
the grease could catch re.
- For optimal results, use only up to 1.2 lbs of sliced potatoes to ensure crispy fries.
- Use pre-made dough to prepare lled snacks quickly and easily.
- Place a baking tin or oven-compatible dish in the airfryer basket if you want to bake a cake
or quiche or if you want to fry fragile or lled ingredients.
- You can also use the airfryer to reheat food. To reheat ingredients, set the temperature to
290° F for up to 10 minutes.
- Please see enclosed Emeril™ recipes for recipe inspiration.

Troubleshooting
Problem Possible Cause Solution
The airfryer does not
work.
1. The appliance is not plugged in.
2. The appliance is not switched on.
3. You have not set the timer.
4. The basket holder is not properly
locked.
1. Plug the power cord into an electrical wall
socket.
2. Press the On/Off button.
3. Press the timer control buttons to the
required preparation time and press “On/
Off” again to switch on the appliance.
4. Push the basket holder back in the

The ingredients
fried with the airfryer
are not cooked
thoroughly.
1. There is too much food in the
basket.
2. The set temperature is too low.
3. The cooking time is too short.
1. Put smaller batches of ingredients in
the basket. Smaller batches are fried more
evenly.
2. Turn the temperature control knob to the
required temperature setting (see section
‘settings’ in chapter ‘Using the appliance’).
3. Turn the timer knob to the required
preparation time (see section ‘Settings’ in
chapter’ Using the appliance’).
Fried snacks are
not crispy when
they come out of the
airfryer.
You used a type of snack meant to
be prepared in a traditional deep
fryer.
Use snacks made to be prepared in the
oven, or lightly brush some oil onto the
snacks for a crispier result.
I cannot slide the
basket into the
appliance properly.
1. There is too much food in the
basket.
2. The basket in not placed properly
in the basket holder.
1. Do not ll the basket to capacity; refer
to the “Setting” table above for maximum
quantities.
2. Push the basket down into the basket
holder until you hear a click.
White smoke comes
out of the appliance.
1. You are preparing greasy
ingredients.
2. The pan still contains grease
residue from previous use.
1. When you fry greasy ingredients in the
airfryer, a large amount of oil will leak into
the basket holder. The oil produces white
smoke and the pan may heat up more than
usual.This does not affect the appliance or
the end result.
2. White smoke is caused by grease
heating up in the basket holder, make sure
you clean the pan properly after each use.
French fries are
fried unevenly in the
airfryer.
1. You did not use the right type of
potato.
2. You did not rinse the potato sticks
properly before you fried them.
1. Use fresh potatoes for frying.
2. Rinse the potato sticks thoroughly.
French fries are not
crispy when they
come out of the
airfryer.
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 potatoes into thinner sticks for a
crispier result.
• Add slightly more oil for a crispier result.
