3. Hand-wash the accessories: Wash all parts and
accessories used in the cooking process with warm,
soapy water.
4. Wipe the inside and outside of the appliance with a
warm, moist cloth and mild detergent. Rinse with a
warm, moist cloth.
5. Place the appliance on a stable, horizontal, and
level surface. Do not place the appliance on
a surface that is not heat resistant. Ensure that
the appliance is used in an area with good air
circulation and away from hot surfaces and any
combustible materials. Do not place on a stove top.
6. Before cooking food, preheat the appliance for a
few minutes to allow the manufacturer’s protective
coating of oil to burn off. Wipe the appliance
with warm, soapy water and a dishcloth after this
burn-in cycle.
NOTE: Never wash or submerge the cooking
appliance in water.
Preparing for Use
1. Place the appliance on a stable, level, horizontal,
and heat-resistant surface.
2. Select the cooking accessory for your recipe.
3. Before initial use and after subsequent use, hand
wash the cooking accessories. Then, wipe the
outside and inside of the appliance with a warm,
moist cloth and mild detergent.
• NEVER use the appliance’s door as a place to rest
accessories filled with food. The accessories could
damage the door or cause the appliance to tip.
Personal injury could result.
• During the cooking process, the cooking accessories
will become very hot. When you remove the
accessories to check on the progress, make sure you
have a trivet or a heat-resistant surface nearby to set
it down on. NEVER place the accessories directly on
a countertop or table.
Before Using the Appliance for the First Time
General Operating Instructions
1. Plug the power cord into a 120V dedicated outlet.
Press the Power Button once.
2. To preheat: Set the desired cooking temperature
and set the cooking time to 3 minutes. The
appliance will automatically start preheating a few
seconds after a preset function is selected or the
time and/or temperature are adjusted manually.
Alternatively, you can press the Power Button to
begin the cooking cycle immediately once the
cooking time and temperature have been selected.
3. When the appliance has preheated, place the
ingredients on your chosen accessory. Put the
chosen accessory into the appliance and shut the
door. Select a preset function (see the "Cooking
Presets" section) or manually set the temperature
and then the time.
NOTE: You may open the appliance’s door to
view your food at any time during the process to
check the progress.
NOTE: Consult the charts in this manual or the Recipe
Books to determine the correct settings.
Cooking with the Appliance
Tips
• Foods that are smaller in size usually require a slightly
shorter cooking time than larger ones.
• Larger quantities of food may require a longer
cooking time than smaller quantities of food.
• Flipping or turning food halfway through the cooking
process ensures that the food is evenly cooked. Set
the timer to half the time needed for the recipe and
the timer bell will alert you when it is time to flip or
rotate food. When you hear the timer bell, the preset
preparation time has elapsed.
• Misting a bit of vegetable oil on fresh potatoes is
suggested for a crispier result. When adding a little
oil, do so just before cooking.
• 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.
• A baking pan or oven dish can be placed on a
Crisper Tray inside the appliance when cooking foods
such as cakes or quiches. Using a tin or dish is also
recommended when cooking fragile or filled foods.
