General Cooking Guidelines
NOTE: Keep in mind that these settings are guidelines. Since ingredients differ in origin, size, shape,
and brand, we cannot guarantee the best settings for your ingredients.
Instructions for Use
Shaking
Tips
• When starting with a cold appliance, add
3 minutes to the cooking time to allow the
appliance to preheat.
• 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.
• 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.
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.
At the halfway point in the cycle, remove the
Basket from the appliance. Gently shake or flip the
contents as needed and place the Basket back in
the appliance to continue cooking.
NOTE: If you do not remove the Basket and shake
the food, the Shake light on the Control Panel will
remain illuminated.
CAUTION: The Basket will be hot. Wear an oven mitt
during this procedure.
