Air Frying Technique
 Follow package directions or consult the Air Frying Chart for suggested TIME and TEMP.
 Before cooking pat food dry to encourage browning and to avoid excess smoke.
 ALWAYS open the basket drawer halfway through the cook time and check, turn or shake foods in the frying basket to
assure even cooking/browning,
 Some recipes may call for brush or spray oil halfway through cooking. Adjust TIME or TEMP if needed.
CAUTION:
When handling the hot air fryer basket, ALWAYS use oven mitts.
CAUTION:
Make sure the clear basket lock is in the locked position when shaking foods
for the Air Convection Fryer. To avoid damage to persons or personal property, do not press the basket release button
while shaking the frying 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.
 Always let cooked food rest for 5 to 10 minutes. Remove the drawer from the machine and place on a flat, heat resistant
surface. Then remove frying basket from the drawer.
 Shake air fried foods out onto serving area. Promptly return the frying basket to the drawer and lock into place. Continue
air frying subsequent batches, if any.
 To avoid excess smoke, when cooking naturally high fat foods, such as bacon, chicken wings or sausages, it may be
necessary to empty fat from the frying basket drawer between batches.
 For crispier results, air fry small batches of freshly breaded foods. Create more surface area by cutting food into smaller
pieces. Press breading onto food to help it adhere. Refrigerate breaded foods for at least 30 minutes before frying.
 Arrange breaded food in frying basket so that food is not touching to allow air flow on all surfaces.
 Spray oils work best. Oil is distributed evenly and less oil is needed. Canola, olive, avocado, coconut, grapeseed, peanut, or
vegetable oil work well.
 Unplug the Air Convection Fryer when not in use.
