Introduction
We all know that fried foods taste delicious but are better left to the occasional indulgence rather than
becoming a staple of your diet. So, what is a fried food aficionado to do? When we need a fix of crispy
deliciousness, we turn to Air Frying. Our Simple Living Products Air Fryers use hot air to cook without
added oil, making them a guilt free solution to quench my craving for crunchy.
At Simple Living Products we are all about practical solutions to get you in the kitchen and cooking
delicious unprocessed food. So, jump in and experiment –we believe there are no mistakes in cooking,
only learning experiences.
Happy Cooking,
The Simple Living Products Air Frying Team
All About Air Frying
Your Simple Living Products Air Fryer uses 360˚air circulation technology to cook with little to no oil, for
quick, crispy, delicious food with 80% fewer calories than deep fryers. With user friendly, one-touch
controls and an intuitive, safe design, the Simple Living Products Air Fryer will be the star of your
kitchen.
Everyone loves fried foods. Its that crispy, delicious, crunchy texture and savory flavor that is just
irresistible. But what we do not love is the icky, heavy feeling we get after over-indulging on that last
friend chicken wing.
Enter the Air Fryer. Using rapid air circulation, the Air Fryer can “fry” ingredients without any oil or
butter. This preserves delicious flavor and a crispy texture while helping to eliminate extra calories from
added oil. Enjoy everything from classic French fries, to fried chicken, to savory spring rolls with your air
fryer and that is just the beginning.
It is a Dry Heat
An air fryer is like a convection oven in the principles that it uses to cook. Hot air circulates around the
food and creates a crispy layer on the outside of the food. Since the heat is contained in the basket, Air
Fryers can cook faster than a convection oven.
Simple & Healthy
Air Fryers can be used to “fry” everything from appetizers to desserts. To get started, you add your
ingredients to the basket, set the timer and temperature and let the air fryer do the rest. Since air fryers
cook with dry heat, you can also use an air fryer to bake and roast.
Zero Oil = A Better Way to Fry
From crunchy zucchini fries, to buffalo wings, its hard to believe that this appliance does not require any
oil. Less oil does not only mean less calories, it also means a better cooking experience. Preparing your
food in an air fryer is a cleaner way to cook, eliminating the extra parts and added mess that comes with
deep frying. Air frying is a convenient way to fry without sacrificing flavor.

Shaking Food
Some foods may require shaking halfway throughout the cooking process. For example, the preset
cooking function for French fries is 20 minutes. Therefore, you should remove the basket to shake the
ingredients after 10 minutes.
How to Shake
•During cooking, take the baskets out of the air fryer and shake or flip the food. Be careful not to
press the basket release button.
•When you take the baskets out, the air fryer will pause cooking automatically. As a safety
feature, the display will turn off until the baskets are replaced.
•When you replace the baskets, cooking will automatically resume.
•Avoid shaking longer than 30 seconds, as the air fryer may start to cool down.
What to Shake
•Small foods that are stacked will usually need shaking, such as fries or nuggets.
•Without shaking food may not be crispy or evenly cooked.
•You can flip other foods such as steak, to ensure even browning.
When to Shake
•Shake once halfway through cooking or more if desired.
Cooking Guide
Over-Filling
•If the basket is overfilled, food will cook unevenly. Do not pack in food.
Using Oil
•Adding a small amount of oil to your food will make it crispier. Use no more than 2 tablespoons
of oil.
•Oil sprays are excellent for applying small amounts of oil evenly to all food items.
•Excess oil or food can collect at the bottom of the outer basket. You can wipe these off after you
have finished cooking and when the appliance has cooled down. If you are cooking numerous
batches of food continuously always make sure to remove the juices and crumbs from each
batch before starting the next.
Food Tips
•You can air fry any frozen foods or goods that that can be baked in an oven.
•To make cakes, hand pies, or any food with filling or batter, place food in a heat-safe container
before placing in the baskets.
•Air frying high fat foods will cause fat to drip to the bottom of the baskets. To avoid excess
smoke while cooking, pour out fat drippings after cooking.
•Liquid marinated foods create splatter and excess smoke. Pat these foods dry before air frying.

Care & Maintenance
Note: We recommend thoroughly cleaning the air fryer after every use.
1. Unplug the air fryer and allow it to cool completely before cleaning. Pull out the baskets for
faster cooling.
2. Wipe the outside of the air fryer with a moist cloth.
3. The baskets are dishwasher safe.
NOTE: For the longevity of the baskets we recommend hand washing.
Wash the baskets with hot, soapy water and a non-abrasive sponge.
NOTE: Soak (overnight) if necessary.
NOTE: Baskets have a non-stick coating. Avoid metal utensils and abrasive cleaners.
4. For stubborn grease:
a. In a small bowl, mix ½ cup (118ml) of baking soda a few tablespoons of water (1 tbsp =
15 ml) until forming a spreadable paste.
b. Use a sponge to spread the paste on the baskets and scrub. Before rinsing, let the
baskets sit for 15 minutes.
c. Wash baskets with soap and water before using.
5. Clean the inside of the air fryer with a slightly moist, nonabrasive sponge or cloth. Do not
immerse in water.
6. Dry before using or storing away.
