Instructions for Use
Before First Use
1. Read all material, warning stickers, and labels.
2. Remove all packing materials, stickers, and labels
from the appliance.
3. Before initial use, wipe the inside and outside of
the appliance with a warm, moist cloth and mild
detergent. Handwash all cooking accessories.
4. Place appliance on a heat-resistant surface or
use heat protection. Ensure that the appliance
is used in an area with adequate air circulation.
Do not place on the stove top.
5. Before cooking food, preheat the appliance for
a few minutes to allow the appliance to burn off
the manufacturer's protective coating of oil. Wipe
the appliance with warm, soapy water and a
dishcloth after this burn-in cycle.
Inserting the Fry Tray
1. Place the Fry Tray in the Basket. The Fry Tray's
adjustable tray height lets you place food closer
to the heating element for broiling. You can also
use it to make the total size of the basket smaller
when cooking smaller quantities of food.
2. To raise the Fry Tray closer to the heating element,
position the edges of the Fry Tray (see Fig. i) on
the Fry Tray Holders (see Fig. j). To use the Fry Tray
on the bottom of the Basket, rotate the Fry Tray
so that the Fry Tray's edges slide past the Fry Tray
Holder, and push the Fry Tray to the bottom of
the Basket (see Fig k).
3. Slide the Basket into the appliance. If the Basket
is placed properly, it will click into place.
NOTE: This appliance cooks using hot air. Do not fill
the Basket with oil or frying fat.

Instructions for Use
Using the Appliance
1. Plug the appliance into a dedicated
electrical outlet.
2. Pull the Basket out of the appliance and place the
ingredients inside. Do not touch the Basket
directly because the Basket becomes very hot
during operation. Only hold the Basket by its
handle. Insert the Basket into the appliance.
NOTE: Always use the Fry Tray with the Basket.

time and temperature for the ingredients you
are cooking.

set cooking time has elapsed or the appliance
is reminding you to shake your food (see
Shaking
To ensure even cooking, some foods require
shaking or flipping during the cooking process.
Some of this appliance's presets include a halfway
timer, which is a timer that will beep and the
Shake icon on the Control Panel will blink when
the cooking cycle has reached its halfway point.
Tips
•
Foods that are smaller in size usually require a
slightly shorter cooking time than larger foods.
•
Shaking smaller-sized foods halfway through
the cooking process ensures that all the pieces
are fried evenly.
•
Adding a bit of vegetable oil to breaded items
is suggested for a crispier result. When adding
oil, do so just before cooking and add only a
small amount onto the breaded items.
"Shaking" in "Instructions for Use"). Pull the
Basket out of the appliance and place it on a
heat-resistant surface.
5. When removing food from the basket, avoid
contact with hot excess oil or the hot drip tray.
To avoid being burned, use silicone-tipped
tongs or tip out the basket contents carefully.
The Fry Tray is not secured and can fall out. Hot
oil can be inside the basket.
6. If the food is not fully cooked, simply slide
the Basket back into the appliance and add a
few minutes to the cooking time.
7. The appliance is instantly ready for preparing
another batch.
At the halfway point in the cycle, carefully use
oven mitts to remove the hot Basket from the
appliance. Gently shake.
NOTE: If you do not remove the Basket and shake
the food, the Shake light on the Control Panel will
remain illuminated.
•
Snacks normally cooked in an oven can also
be cooked in the appliance.
•
Use premade dough to prepare filled
snacks quickly and easily. Premade dough
also requires a shorter cooking time than
homemade dough.
•
You can use the appliance to reheat foods.
Simply set the temperature and time to
however warm you want your food.
