Press the Power Button once or remove the Basket.
4. What do I do if the Unit shuts off while cooking?
As a safety feature, the PowerXL Vortex Air Fryer Plus
has an Auto Shut-Off device that prevents damage

in progress. During this time, you can shake the contents
in the Basket if needed to ensure even cooking.
7. Is the PowerXL Vortex Air Fryer Plus
dishwasher safe?
Only the Fry Tray is dishwasher safe. The Unit itself,
which contains the heating coil and electronics,
should never be submerged in liquid of any kind
or cleaned with anything more than a warm, moist
cloth or nonabrasive sponge with a small amount
of mild detergent.
8. What happens if the Unit still does not work after
I have tried all the troubleshooting suggestions?
Never attempt a home repair. Contact the
manufacturer and follow the procedures set forth
by the guarantee. Failure to do so could render
your guarantee null and void.
Clean the
PowerXL Vortex Air Fryer Plus
after each use.
The Basket and the Fry Tray are coated with a special
nonstick surface. Never use abrasive cleaning materials or
utensils on these surfaces.
1. Remove the Power Cable from the wall socket and be
certain the Unit is thoroughly cooled before cleaning.
2. Wipe the outside of the Unit with a warm, moist cloth
and mild detergent.
3. Clean the Basket and the Fry Tray with hot water,
a mild detergent, and a nonabrasive sponge.
NOTE: The Fry Tray is dishwasher safe.
TIP: Should the Fry Tray contain difficult-to-remove food
particles, soak in hot, soapy water for 10 mins.
NOTE: The rubber bumpers on the Fry Tray are part
of the Fry Tray and should generally not be removed.
However, if the rubber bumpers need to be cleaned,
they can be removed and reattached: To remove
the rubber bumpers, locate the capped end of the
bumpers and push the capped end off of the Fry Tray.
There will be some resistance, but keep pushing until
the rubber bumpers come off of the Fry Tray. Take
note of the slot on which the bumpers were sitting. To
reattach the rubber bumpers, align the hole in the rubber
bumpers with the slots from which the rubber bumpers
were removed. Slide the rubber bumpers all the way
back onto the slot on the Fry Tray.
4. Clean the inside of the Unit with hot water, a mild
detergent, and a nonabrasive sponge.
5. If necessary, remove unwanted food residue from
the heating element with a soft cleaning brush.
1. Unplug the Unit and let it cool down thoroughly.
2. Make sure all components are clean and dry.
3. Place the Unit in a clean, dry place.
