Operating Instructions

WARNING! This unit should not be used to boil water.
NOTE: During first use, the Air Fryer may emit a slight odor. This is normal.
1. Place the Air Fryer on a flat, heat-resistant work area, close to an electrical outlet.
2. Firmly grasp the frying basket handle to open frying basket drawer; then remove the drawer from
the machine and place on a flat, clean surface.
3. Place food into the frying basket. Do not overfill frying basket with food. To ensure proper cooking
and air circulation, NEVER fill any frying basket more than 2/3 full. When air frying fresh vegetables,
we do not recommend adding more than 6 cups of food to the frying basket.
4. Insert the assembled frying basket drawer into the front of the Air Fryer. Always make sure frying
basket drawer is fully closed.
5. Plug cord into a 120V electrical outlet.
6. Select air frying temperature from 175°F to 400°F.
7. Turn timer dial to the desired air frying time plus 3 minutes for preheat if the Air Fryer is cold.
The Blue HEAT ON light and the Red POWER light will illuminate; the Air Fryer will
begin heating.
IMPORTANT: The Air Fryer will not heat if the timer dial has not been set.
WARNING: Air Fryer will not heat -- the Red POWER light will remain off, until frying basket drawer
is fully closed.
8. The Blue HEAT ON light will turn off when set temperature is reached.
NOTE: During air frying, the Blue HEAT ON light will cycle on and off as proper air frying
temperature is maintained.
9. To assure even cooking/browning, open the basket drawer halfway through the cooking time and
check. Lift frying basket from frying basket drawer in order to turn or shake foods in the frying
basket. Once complete, return the frying basket into frying basket drawer. Adjust temperature if
needed. The timer will continue to count down when the drawer is opened, but the Air Fryer will
stop heating until the drawer is replaced.
CAUTION: Make sure the clear basket lock is in the locked position when shaking foods.
To avoid damage to persons or personal property, do not press the basket release button while
shaking the frying basket.
WARNING: Extreme caution must be used when handling the hot frying basket and drawer.
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.
NOTE: The Air Fryer can be turned OFF at any time by turning the timer dial to 0.
10. One beep will sound when the set air frying time has expired. The Air Fryer will turn OFF
automatically. Both the Red POWER light and the Blue HEAT ON light will turn off.
11. Shake the frying basket/drawer vigorously and check food for browning and doneness.
If additional air frying is needed, adjust temperature if desired, and set timer for 2 minute
increments until fully cooked.
12. Allow cooked food to rest for 5 to 10 seconds before removing basket drawer from Air Fryer
or food from frying basket.
13. When air frying is finished, remove the drawer from the machine and place on a flat, heat resistant
surface. Then remove frying basket from the drawer.
14. Shake air fried foods out onto serving area. Promptly return the frying basket to the drawer and
lock into place. Continue with subsequent batches, if any.
NOTE: When the next batch is ready, the Air Fryer's 1700 watt heating system will quickly heat
and recover.
15. When all air frying is completed, turn both the temperature control dial and the timer dial to 0 (OFF).
Both the Red POWER light and the Blue HEAT ON light will turn off.
