PRODUCT SAFETY
IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always
be followed, including the following:
1. Read all instructions.
2. Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs.
3. To protect against risk of electrical shock, do not put cord, plugs, or any parts of
the Air Fryer in water or other liquid.
4. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.
5. Unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow to cool before
putting on or taking off parts.
6. Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug, or after the
appliance malfunctions, or is dropped or damaged in any manner. Return
appliance to the nearest Authorized Service Facility for examination, repair, or
adjustment.
7. The use of accessories/attachments not recommended or sold by KitchenAid
may cause fire, electrical shock, or injury to persons.
8. Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter, or touch hot surfaces.
9. Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner, or in a heated oven.
10. Extreme caution must be used when moving an appliance containing hot oil or
other hot liquids.
11. Use extreme caution when removing Broiling Rack, Multipurpose Pan, Oven
Rack, or disposing of hot grease.
12. Oversize foods or metal utensils must not be inserted in a Air Fryer as they may
create a fire or risk of electric shock.
13. A fire may occur if Air Fryer is covered or touching flammable material, including
curtains, draperies, walls and the like, when in operation. Do not store any item
on top of the appliance when in operation.

TIME RECOMMENDATION - AIR FRY FUNCTION
GETTING STARTED
PREHEATING
Preheating your Air Fryer is important for consistent and even results. Once you select your
desired cooking mode or any other settings, and press Start.
The light ring around the Start button will be on, and the Preheat indicator will show on the
LCD. Once the oven has reached the set temperature, a tone will sound to let you know that
you can insert food and begin cooking. Preheating is NOT necessary in all cooking modes.
To skip the Preheat and start the timer directly, push the Start button a second time.
The convection fan is controlled by the Convection button. Pushing the Convection button will
toggle the fan on or off for Bake, Broil, Keep Warm, and Reheat functions. A “Convection”
label and fan icon will appear on the display when the convection fan is on. The Air Fry
function uses a high speed convection fan that cannot be turned off. The Dehydrate function
uses the high speed convection fan as preset, but it may be turned off by pushing the
Convection button.
NOTE: Automatic Preheat is not programmed for Dehydrate, Keep Warm, Reheat, Toast and
Bagel functions.
CONVECTION
NOTE: Gently spray the basket with oil before each batch of food. No more oil is needed.
Results may vary with different food brands and sizes. Follow Toaster Oven instructions from
the back of the food package and reduce time.
TIP: When cooking fatty foods, such as non breaded poultry with skin, use the baking pan
instead of the Air Fry Basket to catch excess oil that may drip from the food.
