AIR FRYING TECHNIQUE
1. Please consult the Air Frying Chart and/or follow package
instructions for suggested TIME and TEMPERATURE.
2. To assure even cooking/browning, ALWAYS open the frying
basket halfway through the cooking time and check, turn or
shake foods in the frying basket. Adjust TIME or
TEMPERATURE if needed.
WARNING: Extreme caution must be used when handling the
hot frying basket and crisping tray. Avoid escaping steam from
the frying basket and the food.
CAUTION: Always use oven mitts when handling the hot air
fryer basket.
CAUTION: Hot oil can collect at the base of the drawer. To avoid
risk of burns or personal injury, or to avoid oil from contaminating air
fried foods, always unlock and remove the frying basket from the
drawer
before emptying. NEVER turn the drawer upside down with the
frying basket attached.
3. If additional air frying is needed, adjust TEMPERATURE if
desired, and set TIME for 2 to 5-minute intervals until fully
cooked.

to 10 minutes. Remove the frying basket from the machine and
place on a flat, heat resistant surface.
7. Use tongs or a long fork to remove air fried foods onto a
serving plate. Promptly replace the frying basket into the front of
the air Fryer. Continue with subsequent batches, if any.
8. Unplug the Air fryer when not in use
A NOTE ON AIR FRYING PRE-PACKAGED
FROZEN FOODS
1. The air fryer is powered with 1500W high performance
technology that circulates heat for fast air fry and recovery.
2. As a general rule, reduce the package cooking time by 30% to
50%
depending on the food and amount to be cooked.
3. Always check food halfway through cooking time to
determine final cook time and temperature.
4. Always check cooking progress after TIME has expired. If
more time is needed, cook at short time intervals until food tests
done.
FOR BEST RESULTS
1. Use your air fryer to cook pre-packaged foods with a
fraction of the oil, in a fraction of the time!
2. Always check food halfway through cooking time to
determine final cook time and temperature.
3. Always pat food dry before cooking to encourage browning
and avoid excess smoke.
4. To avoid excess smoke, when cooking naturally high fat
foods, such as chicken wings or sausages, it may be necessary
to empty fat from the frying basket drawer between batches.
5. For crispier results, air fry small batches of freshly breaded
foods. Create more surface area by cutting food into smaller

pieces. Press breading onto food to help it adhere. Refrigerate
breaded foods for at least 30 minutes before frying.
6. Arrange breaded food in frying basket so that food is not
touching to allow air flow on all surfaces.
7. Spray olive oil or vegetable oil work best as oil is distributed
evenly and less oil is needed.
8. Do not overfill frying basket with food. NEVER fill any frying
basket more than 2/3 full. When air frying fresh vegetables, we
do not recommend adding more than 3 cups of food to the
frying basket.
9. Some foods need to be shaken vigorously or turned over
during the air fry time. Consult the Air Frying Chart for a general
guide.
10. Do not overfill frying basket with food. NEVER fill any frying
basket more than 2/3 full. When air frying fresh vegetables, we
