Tips for Air Fry
• For best results, use the provided air fry tray.
- The mesh section of the air fry tray can be
cleaned in a dishwasher.

Heavy Duty Standard Rack
• If you don't have the air fry tray, place food on a
wire rack inside a foil-lined broiler pan.

Broiler Pan
• For best results, cook food on a single rack
placed in positions suggested in the chart in this
manual.
• Spread the food out evenly in a single layer.
• Use either the optional air fry tray available from
LG or a dark baking tray with no sides or short
sides that does not cover the entire rack. This
allows for better air circulation.
• If desired, spray the baking tray or air fry tray
with a pan spray. Use an oil that can be heated to
a high temperature before smoking, such as
avocado, grapeseed, peanut or sunflower oil.
• Place a foil-lined baking tray on a rack in position
1 to catch the oil falling from the food. For high-
fat foods like chicken wings, add a few sheets of
parchment paper to absorb the fat.
• Check food often and shake it or turn it over for
crisper results.
• Prepared frozen foods may cook faster with the
Air Fry mode than stated on the package.
Reduce the cooking time by about 20 percent,
check food early, and adjust cooking time as
needed.
• Use a food thermometer to make sure food has
reached a safe temperature for consumption.
Eating undercooked meats can increase your
risk of food-borne illness.
• For the crispiest results, dredge fresh chicken
wings or tenders in seasoned flour. Use 1/3 cup
flour for 2 pounds of chicken.
