AIR FRYER COOKING TIPS Preheat the air fryer for 5 minutes before cooking. While not necessary, preheating the unit will cook foods faster and promote crisp results. If the unit is cold, add a few minutes to your expected cooking time. CAUTION: Be careful when adding food after preheating, as the inside of the air fryer will be hot. For a crisp exterior, oil foods lightly. Some foods, especially if fresh, benefit from being tossed with a little oil in a separate bowl before frying.
TROUBLESHOOTING Why is white smoke coming from my unit? White smoke can be a sign that there’s too much fat in the fryer. Avoid cooking very fatty foods, such as sausages, in the air fryer, and be sure the basket, the rack, and the interior of the air fryer are clean before cooking. Why has my food cooked unevenly? Two culprits are likely: overcrowding and not shaking.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE The nonstick coating on the basket and rack makes the air fryer easy to clean following the steps below. 1. Unplug the unit and let it cool completely before cleaning. (For faster cooling, take the hot basket out.) 2. To remove the cooled rack from the basket, use the hole at the center of the rack to grasp it, and pull it straight up and out. WARNING: Do not lift the rack out of the basket when hot, or injury can occur. 3.
