COOKING TIME CHART The chart on this page helps you to program basic times and temperatures for common foods. Please note that all of the information below is for your reference only and can be adjusted according to the user’s preference. They are approximations only as foods differ in size and density so cooking times and temperatures cannot be guaranteed. Min-max Amount (ounces) Time (min.
HINTS & TIPS TIPS Smaller cuts of foods usually require a slightly shorter cooking time than larger foods. A larger amount of foods only requires a slightly longer cooking time and a smaller amount of foods only requires a slightly shorter cooking time. Stirring or shaking smaller foods mid-way through the cooking process will improve the end result and can help cook more evenly. Adding a small amount of oil to fresh potatoes can result in a crispier result.
TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE Problem The airfryer does not work. Possible cause The appliance is not plugged in. Solution Plug the power cord (6) into an electrical outlet. You did not tap START button.

Your home-made french fries are not crispy after air frying. Potato strips were not thoroughly rinsed prior to frying. Thoroughly rinse sliced potato to remove all starch prior to frying. Crispy results are directly linked to the amount of oil and water content of the fresh potato strips. Potato strips need to be thoroughly dried before adding oil. Slice potato strips thinner if you want them crispier. Use a bit more oil on the potato strips prior to frying if you want crispier results.
