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,
assures that all the pieces are evenly fried.
• Misting a bit of vegetable oil to 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 the Air Fryer Oven.
• Use pre-made dough to prepare lled snacks quickly and easily.
Pre-made dough also requires a shorter cooking time than homemade dough.
• Place a baking tin or oven dish in the Air Fryer Oven when baking a cake or quiche.
A tin or dish is also suggested when cooking fragile or lled foods.
• You can use the Air Fryer Oven to reheat foods.
Simply set the temperature to 300°F for up to 10 minutes.
Important
Removing Cooked or Hot Food
When removing cooked or hot food use the Rotisserie
Fetch Tool (g. A), or oven Mitts. Fetch Tool can also be
used with Rotisserie Spit.
Warning
• During the cooking process, the accessories will become very hot. When you
remove it to check on the progress, make sure you have a trivet or a heat resistant
surface nearby to set it down on. NEVER place the accessories directly on a
counter top or table.
• Cooking accessories will get hot during the air frying process.
Wear oven mitts and handle with care to AVOID INJURY.
