• Many foods require shaking or flipping halfway through cooking to ensure more even
cooking and browning. To shake or flip food, remove the basket assembly from the air
fryer, shake or flip food, and then slide the assembly back into place.
Do not press the
basket release button during shaking.
• If the basket assembly is too heavy for shaking food, you may release the basket from the
pan by pressing the basket release button and lifting the basket out of the pan. Shake the
basket and then return it to the pan. Slide the basket assembly back into place.
• The timer may be set as a reminder to shake food. However, once food has been shaken,
reset the timer for the remaining cooking time.
• Use pre-made dough to prepare filled snacks quickly and easily. Pre-made dough has a
shorter cooking time than homemade dough.
• Snacks that can be prepared in the oven can also be prepared in the air fryer. As a general
rule, lower the cooking temperature by 25º and reduce the cooking time 3 to 5 minutes.
• Your favorite recipe may be adapted to the AirDaddy
™
air fryer by using the cooking times
provided in the Cooking Guide on pages 9 and 10 or using one of the recipes on pages 11
through 15 as a guide for determining the appropriate time and temperature.
• The air fryer can be turned off at any time by touching the power button.
Care and Cleaning
1. After the air fryer has cooled completely, carefully slide the basket assembly out of the
air fryer. Separate the basket from the assembly following the instructions in the “Before
First Use” section on page 4.
2. Wash the entire basket assembly (the pan and basket) in warm, soapy water.
For any stuck on food residue, it will be helpful to soak the basket in hot, soapy water
before cleaning. Rinse and dry thoroughly. A brush may be needed to thoroughly clean
residue from the basket.
Do not use steel wool scouring pads or abrasive kitchen cleaners.
It is not recommended that any part of the air fryer be washed in the dishwasher.
3. The outside surface of the air fryer can be wiped clean with a moist cloth. Do not use
steel wool scouring pads or abrasive kitchen cleaners.
Never immerse the air fryer or plug in water or other liquid.
4. Once the air fryer has been cleaned, the cord can be wrapped and secured on the tab
located on the back of the unit for convenient storage.
5. Any maintenance required for this product, other than normal household care and clean-
ing, should be performed by the Presto Factory Service Department.
Cooking Guide
This guide lists the suggested food amount, temperature, cooking time, and any action required to obtain
the best results. The quantity, thickness, and density of food prepared may affect cooking time, as will
personal preference. Fill the basket no more than ¾ full for most foods. When indicated in the cooking
tips, food should be flipped halfway through cooking.
