Cooking Guidelines & Tips
Tips
• When grilling meats, use the Grill Plate in the raised
position (see “Getting Started” in the “Instructions for
Use” section).
• Flip steaks or filets halfway through the cooking cycle
to cook evenly.
• Foods that are smaller in size usually require a
slightly shorter cooking time than larger foods.
• Large quantities of food require a longer cooking
time than smaller quantities. Be careful not to
overcrowd the Inner Pot.
• When air frying breaded items, lightly spray with
cooking oil to get a crispy, golden-brown crust.
• Snacks normally cooked in an oven, including frozen
snacks, can also be cooked in the appliance.
• Use premade dough to prepare filled snacks quickly
and easily. Premade dough also requires a shorter
cooking time than homemade dough.
• You can use the appliance to reheat foods. Simply
set the temperature and time to however warm you
want your food or use the Reheat mode.
• Be careful not to transfer germs from raw meat to
cooked meat. Use separate utensils and platters for
raw and cooked meat.
• When marinating food, always use a tightly covered
nonmetal dish and turn the food occasionally. Be
sure to refrigerate all meats while marinating.
• If leftover wet marinade is to be used as a sauce with
the cooked food, be sure to place it in a small pan
and heat to a rolling boil before serving to eliminate
bacterial growth.
• To prevent scratching the coating, use only
nonmetallic utensils. Do not cut food on the Grill
Plate using sharp utensils, such as forks or knives,
that can scratch the cooking surface.
• Do not use steel wool or other metal pads.
They could leave coarse scratches. Always rinse
thoroughly and dry immediately with a soft towel.
• If food is cooking unevenly, make sure to spread out
the food evenly on the grill plate.
Shaking/Flipping (for Air Frying)
To ensure even cooking, some foods require
shaking/ipping during the cooking process. Gently
shake/flip the contents as needed and place them back
in the appliance to continue cooking.
CAUTION: The appliance and Inner Pot will be hot.
Wear an oven mitt during this procedure:
1. Open the Lid.
2. Flip the food in the Inner Pot.
3. Close the Lid on the appliance and continue cooking.

Cleaning & Storage
Easy Maintenance
• Be sure to let the appliance cool down and unplug it
from the wall outlet before cleaning.
• When cleaning the Inner Pot, allow the Inner Pot
to cool completely before washing. Never
immerse hot cookware in water as this will cause
irreparable warping.
• Cleaning your Inner Pot is quick and easy. After
each use, wash it in hot water with mild soap or
dish detergent. Rinse thoroughly and wipe dry
immediately with a soft dish towel. If any food
particles remain, ll the Inner Pot with hot water and
liquid dish detergent, soak until the water becomes
lukewarm, and use a sponge or soft cloth to remove
any remaining food particles.
• Do not use steel wool or metal pads. They could
leave coarse scratches.
• To keep the appliance clean, wipe away the
enclosure with damp cloth and then dry it with a
clean, dry cloth. Never immerse the main body of the
appliance in water for cleaning!
• To protect against electric shock, DO NOT immerse
the main parts of the appliance, cord, or plug in
water or other liquids.
• Make sure that the device is properly cleaned before
storing it in a dry place.
• DO NOT use any petroleum products, which
will damage the outer appliance housing and the
Control Panel.
• DO NOT use/store any ammable, acid, or alkaline
materials or substances near the device, as this may
reduce the service life of the device and lead to
deagration (re) when the device is turned on.
• DO NOT stack heavy objects on top of the appliance.
Excessive weight could possibly damage the appliance.

PowerXL Grill Air Fryer Home 19
Cleaning & Storage
Dishwasher Safe
Only the Inner Pot and Grill Plate are dishwasher safe.
Although these components are dishwasher safe, we
recommend cleaning by hand. Hand-washing preserves
the life of the cookware and helps to maintain its
appearance. If cleaning in the dishwasher, follow the
suggested guidelines:
• Load the dishwasher carefully. Other dishes and
flatware may mark the surface of your cookware.
• Be sure to remove soil from other dishes and flatware.
It can be abrasive to nonstick coating.
• We recommend using a non-lemon detergent.
• Regular dishwasher cleaning will eventually scratch
any surface.
