Fryer or food from frying basket.
12. When air frying is finished, remove the drawer from the machine and place on a flat,
heat resistant surface. Then remove frying basket from the drawer.
13. Shake air fried foods out onto serving area. Promptly return the frying basket to the
drawer and lock into place. Continue with subsequent batches, if any.
NOTE: When the next batch is ready, the Air Fryer’s 1500W heating system will quickly
heat and recover.
14. Unplug the Air Fryer when not in use.
Helpful Hints
1. Olive oil or vegetable oil works well for air frying.
2. Use your Air Fryer to cook pre-packaged foods with a fraction of the oil, in a fraction of
the time! As a general rule, lower the recipe baking temperature by 10°C and reduce the
cooking time by 30% to 50% depending on the food and amount.
3. Do not overfill frying basket with food. NEVER fill any frying basket more than 2/3 full.
When air frying fresh vegetables, we do not recommend adding more than 3 cups of food
to the frying basket.
4.
For best results
, some foods need to be shaken vigorously or turned over during the air
fry time. Consult the Air Frying Chart as a general guide.
5. To avoid excess smoke, when cooking naturally high fat foods, such as chicken wings
or sausages, it may be necessary to empty fat from the frying basket drawer between
batches.
6. Always pat food dry before cooking to encourage browning and avoid excess smoke.
7. Air fry small batches of freshly breaded foods. Press breading onto food to help it
adhere. Arrange in frying basket so that food is not touching to allow air flow on all
surfaces.
8. The Air Fryer can be used to reheat food. Set the temperature to 200°C for up to 10
minutes.
