FEATURES & FUNCTIONS
A. Removable Cooking Pot: The Removable Cooking Pot has a nonstick interior
and EasyLift Handles to assist with easy movement and clean-up. The Cooking Pot
must always be used when frying, roasting, baking or cooking in any Mode in the
Free Fry Turbo 360° Cook Center.
To place the Removable Cooking Pot into the Cook Center Base correctly,
align the EasyLift Handles on the Pot with the two handle grooves on the Base.
When in the correct position, the opening for the Rotisserie Spit in the Removable
Cooking Pot will be aligned to the opening in the Base of the Cook Center.
The Cooking Pot is designed to hold solid foods and small amounts of
liquids, however, the Free Fry Turbo 360° Cook Center is not designed to slow
cook, braise, or cook foods in a long-low heat method. Add only small amounts of
liquid, as needed, for roasting or frying. When steaming, add one to two inches of
water (see Step-by-Step Cooking for instructions).
The Removable Cooking Pot will accommodate all the Accessories that are
provided in the Accessory Pack. Always check before cooking to ensure foods
placed on the Rotisserie Spit, such as whole chickens or roasts, will turn freely and
t within the closed Free Fry Turbo 360° Cook Center.

Removable Cooking Pot and contains the following features:
1. EasyView Lid with RadiVection 360° Cooking System.

C. EasyView Lid with RadiVection 360° Cooking System: The EasyView Lid has
a unique heating system built right inside – a combination of turbo-charged
convection heat and a powerful halogen light. These two powerhouse heating
elements use super-turbo air circulation to fry, roast, bake, and stir-fry foods
quickly and eciently without using oil. Your results? Fresh avors, lower fat
content, tender and moist interiors, super crispy exteriors and compliments all
around from your family and friends.
Keep the EasyView Lid closed while cooking to optimize cooking times and
ensure fully-cooked foods.
If needed, open the EasyView Lid while cooking to add ingredients. Use a pot
holder or oven mitt and fully extend the Lid until it“clicks”in full open position.
Use caution: Hot air and/or steam may be released when the Lid is opened.
Although the heating system will stop temporarily when the Lid is opened,
any rotation accessory in use will continue to turn. Close the Lid securely; the
Control Panel will continue the timer countdown and frying/cooking.
To close the Lid, release the lock on the side of the hinge.
Heat Release Vents →
The large vents on top of the Lid may
release hot air and/or steam as foods
are fried. Avoid standing close
