AirFrying Tips:
AirFrying is a healthy alternative to frying. Many foods that can be fried, can be
AirFried without using excess amounts of oil. AirFried foods will taste lighter and less
greasy than deep-fried foods.
Most oils can be used for AirFrying. Olive oil is preferred for a richer flavor.
Vegetable, canola or grapeseed oil is recommended for a mild flavor.
Distribute oil evenly on food to achieve the crispiest and most golden results. Oil can
be sprayed or brushed onto foods for AirFrying. Alternatively, olive oil and non stick
cooking sprays can be used.
An assortment of coatings can be used on AirFry foods.
Some examples of different crumb mixtures include: breadcrumbs, seasoned
breadcrumbs, panko breadcrumbs, cornflakes, potato chip crumbs, graham
cracker crumbs, quinoa, various flours, etc.
Most foods do not need to be flipped during cooking, but larger items, like chicken
cutlets, should be flipped halfway during cooking to ensure quick, even cooking and
browning.
When AirFrying large quantities of food that crowd the pan, toss food halfway
through cooking to ensure even cooking and coloring.
Use higher temperatures for foods that cook quickly, like bacon and chips, and
lower temperatures for foods that take longer to cook like breaded chicken.
Foods will cook more evenly if they are cut to the same size.
Line the Baking Tray with aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
Please note that when most foods cook, they release water. When cooking large
quantities for an extended period of time, condensation may build up, which could
leave moisture on your countertop.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Always allow the oven to cool completely before cleaning.
Always unplug the oven from the electrical outlet.
Do not use abrasive cleaners, as they will damage the finish. Simply
wipe the exterior with a clean, damp cloth and dry thoroughly. Apply the
cleansing agent to a cloth, not directly onto the toaster oven, before cleaning.
To clean interior walls, use a damp cloth and a mild liquid soap solution
or a spray solution on a sponge. Never use harsh abrasives or corrosive
products. These could damage the oven surface. Never use steel wool pads, etc.,
on interior of oven.
Oven Rack, Baking Pan, AirFryer Basket and Crumb Tray should be
hand-washed in hot, sudsy water or use a nylon scouring pad or nylon brush.
They are NOT dishwasher safe.
After cooking greasy foods and after your oven has cooled, always clean top interior
of oven. If this is done on a regular basis, your oven will perform like new. Removing
the grease will help to keep toasting consistent, cycle after cycle.
To remove crumbs, slide out the Crumb Tray and discard crumbs. Wipe clean and
replace. To remove baked-on grease, soak the tray in hot, sudsy water or use
nonabrasive cleaners. Never operate the oven without the Crumb Tray in place.
Never wrap the cord around the outside of the oven. Use the cord storage cleats on
the back of the oven.
Any other servicing should be performed by an authorized service representative.
