11.  AIR FRYING PRE-PACKAGED FROZEN FOODS

•  As a rule, depending on the food and amount to be cooked, recommended 

cooking times can be reduced slightly. Always check food halfway to 
determine final cook 

TIME 

and 

TEMP

.

•  Always check cooking progress after 

TIME 

has finished.

12.  HINTS FOR ROAST

IMPORTANT!  

CONSULT THE USDA COOKING GUIDELINES SECTION OF THIS 
INSTRUCTION MANUAL BEFORE COOKING BEGINS. ALWAYS TEST MEAT 
USING AN ACCURATE COOKING THERMOMETER.

•  Always use a meat thermometer to ensure it is cooked properly. 
•  Cook meats to 5 to 10 degrees below desired doneness (internal temperature). 

Allow meat to stand 15 to 20 minutes before serving. The temperature will 
continue to rise while standing.

•  Roast large, tender cuts of meat and poultry. Seasoning prior to cooking adds 

to the flavour and the aroma.

•  A layer of fat on the top of the roast promotes better browning and provides 

natural basting.

•  To speed up browning, brush lean cuts of meat, chicken and fish with oil, 

margarine or melted butter.

•  Place meat (fat side up) and turn over half-way through ROAST time.

IMPORTANT: 

TURN AND CHECK FOOD HALFWAY THROUGH ROAST TIME.

13.  HINTS FOR BAKE

•  When using 

, you may need to lower the bake recipe temperature by 10°C 

to a minimum of 150°C.

•  Check package directions to determine the food you are considering is 

suitable for use in an Air Fryer.

•  Press 

 to turn this feature 

OFF

SHAKE

 will disappear from the screen.

14.  HINTS FOR DEHYDRATE

NOTE:

 WHEN MANUALLY PROGRAMMING DEHYDRATE MENU SELECTION, TIME WILL 

INCREASE OR DECREASE IN 1 HOUR INCREMENTS. 

•  Dehydrate fresh, ripe foods to preserve nutrients and enhance flavor.
•  Your Dual Basket Air Fryer’s automated drying makes home dehydration both 

simple and rewarding and ensures safe, preservative-free results.

• 

DEHYDRATE 

combines low, steady heat with steady convection fan power.

•  Precise low temperatures dry out foods evenly without cooking or overheating.

 TURN FOOD SEVERAL TIMES DURING DEHYDRATE .
