Manual Cooking
Once you are familiar with your air fry oven, you may want to experiment with your own
cooking times and temperatures.
1. Place the ingredients on a baking tray, on one of the rotisserie accessories or in the
fry basket.
2. Place the tray, fry basket or rotisserie spit into the unit and shut the oven door. Plug
the power cord into an electrical outlet.
3. Once the food is in place, press the power button once.
4. Set the temperature and then the time.
5. The unit will automatically start the cooking cycle a few seconds after a function is
selected. Alternatively, you can press the power button to begin the cooking
process immediately.
Tips:
• 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 ensures
that all the pieces are evenly cooked.
• Misting a bit of vegetable oil on 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 this air fryer.
• Place a baking tin or oven dish in the air fryer when baking a cake or quiche. A tin or dish
is also suggested when cooking fragile or filled foods.
WARNING: Never use a cooking vessel filled with cooking oil or any
other liquid with this unit! Fire hazard or personal injury could result.
Notes:
You may open the oven door to view the rotisserie at any time during the process to
check the progress.
