For even results, some foods require shaking halfway through
the preparation time. See the Temperature & Time Chart for
recommendations. Remove the Crisper Drawer from the appliance and
shake it gently from side to side. Slide the Crisper Drawer back into the
Air Fryer.
When you set the timer, the Air Fryer will automatically turn on. The
Heating Light will automatically turn on. The Timer will begin to count
down from the set time. The Heating Light will blink during the air
frying process. This is normal and indicates that the heating element is
controlling the temperature.
When you hear the Timer ring, the preparation time has elapsed. Pull
the Crisper Drawer out of the appliance and place it on a heat-resistant
surface. Check if the food is done. If the food is not ready, simply slide
the Crisper Drawer back into the appliance and set the Timer for a few
extra minutes.
To remove items from the Crisper Drawer use tongs. Don’t turn over the
Crisper Drawer to prevent any oil that has collected on the bottom of
the Crisper Drawer from being spilled onto the food. Excess oil from any
foods will be collected at the bottom of the Crisper Drawer. Allow the
appliance to cool before disposing of any excess oil.

BEFORE USING YOUR AIR FRYER
Remove all packaging materials. Check that the Air Fryer has no visible damage and that no parts are
missing. Before using the appliance for the first time or before using it after prolonged storage, wash and
dry the appliance and any accompanying accessories. See “Cleaning & Maintenance” for instructions.
If you preheat the appliance before use, food will cook faster. To preheat, select desired temperature (see
section “Temperature and Time Chart”) and turn the Timer Dial to 3 minutes; do not put any food in the
Crisper Drawer. Wait until the Heating Light goes off (after approximately 3 minutes). Then fill the Crisper
Drawer and turn the Timer Dial to the desired preparation time.
Place the appliance on a stable, flat, heat-resistant surface. Plug the Air
Fryer into a wall socket. The Power Light will illuminate.
1
Remove the Crisper Drawer from the Air Fryer. Place food in the Crisper
Drawer on the Crisper Tray. The Crisper Tray helps circulate air around
your food and helps keep excess oil made by your food from pooling
around your food. There is no need to add any oil as the appliance works
with hot air.
2
Slide the Crisper Drawer back inside the Air Fryer. Refer to the Temperature
& Time Chart to determine the correct settings. Turn the Temperature
Control Dial to your desired temperature setting. Turn the Timer to the
correct setting.
