GETTING READY
TIPS FOR GETTING STARTED
1.
Remove all packaging materials, stickers or labels.
2.
Clean the Basket and Fry Pan with hot water, with some dish soap, and a non-abrasive sponge.
These parts are dishwasher safe.
3.
Wipe inside and outside of the appliance with a damp cloth.
DO NOT
fill the Basket with oil as the appliance functions with hot air.
1.
Preheat your Compact Air Fryer before use to ensure better results.
2.
Smaller ingredients, like french fries, usually require a slightly shorter preparation time than larger
ingredients, like chicken fingers. Larger ingredients only require a slightly longer preparation time.
3.
Shaking smaller ingredients halfway through the preparation time optimizes the end result and can
help prevent uneven frying. Some ingredients require shaking halfway through the preparation time.
4.
Avoid preparing extremely greasy ingredients in the Compact Air Fryer.
5.
Snacks that can be prepared in an oven can also be prepared in the Compact Air Fryer.
6.
Excess oil from the ingredients is collected on the bottom of the Basket.
7.
Pull the Basket out of the appliance by the Handle and shake it. Then slide the Basket back into the Air
Fryer.
8.
To remove large or fragile ingredients, lift the ingredients out of the Basket with a pair of heat-safe
nylon or silicone tongs.
9.
Once the batch is ready, the Air Fryer is instantly ready for the next batch.
REHEATING IN AN AIR FRYER
You can also use the Compact Air Fryer to reheat ingredients. To reheat ingredients, set the temperature
to 300ºF for up to 10 minutes.
TIPS FOR MAKING FRIES
TIPS FOR BAKING
1.
For fresh potatoes, rinse and dry the potatoes thoroughly to remove excess moisture and starch.
The optimal amount of fries is 1lb. or less.
2.
Shake, shake, shake. Shaking smaller ingredients halfway during the preparation time optimizes the
end result and can help make results more even and consistent. Resume frying until crispy.
3.
Once the batch is ready, the Air Fryer is instantly ready for the next batch.
•
Pre-made dough also requires a shorter preparation time than homemade dough.
•
Place a small baking tin or oven dish in Compact Air Fryer Basket if you want to bake a cake or quiche,
or if you want to fry fragile ingredients or filled ingredients.
•
To remove large or fragile ingredients, lift the ingredients out of the Basket with a pair of nylon or
silicone tongs.
MEAT & POULTRY
Once frying is complete, slide the Basket out and use tongs to remove ingredients containing fat such as
poultry or red meat. For ingredients such as chips or vegetables not containing animal fat or excess oil,
remove the Basket and simply empty the ingredients out onto a serving dish.
NOTE:
Any ingredients with animal fat will yield excess oil that will be collected at the bottom of the
Basket. When removing these ingredients from the Basket, use tongs to remove each piece and avoid
flipping the Basket over, as this will cause the oil residue to leak on the ingredients.
