Note: Use extreme caution while handling hot food in the fryer basket. Excess oil will drip into the basket when preparing greasy foods. Empty the basket after every use.

• Almost any food that is traditionally cooked in the oven can be air fried.

• Foods cook best and most evenly when they are of similar size and thickness.

• Smaller pieces of food require less cooking time than larger pieces.

• For best results in the shortest amount of time, air fry food in small batches. Avoid stacking or layering when possible.

• Most prepackaged foods do not need to be tossed in oil before air frying. Most already contain oil and other ingredients that enhance browning and crispiness.

• Frozen appetizers air fry very well. For best results, arrange them on the tray in a single layer.

• If layering foods, be sure to shake the basket halfway through (or flip food) to promote even cooking.

• Toss foods you are preparing from scratch, such as French fries or other vegetables, with a small amount of oil to promote browning and crispiness.

• When air frying fresh vegetables, make sure to pat them dry completely before tossing with oil and air frying to ensure maximum crispiness.

• Air fryers are great for reheating food, including pizza. To reheat your food, set the temperature to 150°C for up to 10 minutes.

• Ensure the Air Fryer is unplugged and cool before cleaning.

• Once the Air Fryer and basket are cool, remove the basket from the Air Fryer (if it is not already removed). Use the tray handle to remove the tray. Use a sponge and warm, soapy water to wash the inside and outside of the basket and tray.

• Warning: Do not use abrasive cleaning agents or scouring pads.

• The basket and the tray are top-rack dishwasher safe.

• Gently wipe down the exterior with a damp cloth or paper towel.

• Never immerse the Air Fryer or its plug in water or any other liquid.

• Dry all parts thoroughly before storage.

• Store the Air Fryer in a cool, dry place.
