perfection.

fried foods, but also broils and bakes many other favourites
like “air fried” burgers, calzones, and doughnuts. It couldn’t
be easier! Set the time and temperature for some of your
favourites like fried prawns, French fries, and southern
style chicken.You and your family will enjoy many years of
crispy, mouthwatering meals and snacks with the Power
Air Fryer Express.
Before You Begin

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.
• “Shaking” smaller-sized foods halfway through the cooking process assures that all the pieces are fried evenly.
• Adding a bit of olive 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 Power Air Fryer Express.
• Use pre-made dough to prepare filled 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 Fry Basket when baking a cake or quiche. A tin or dish is also suggested when
cooking fragile or stuffed foods.
