Shaking...
To insure even cooking, some foods require “shaking” during the
cooking process. To do this, simply remove the Outer Basket and
Fry Basket from the Unit... gently shake the contents as needed
and place back in Unit to continue cooking. For heavier foods, you
might want to separate the Fry Basket from the Outer Basket
before shaking. To do this, place the assembled Outer Basket
and Fry Basket on a heat-resistant surface. Move Sliding Button
Guard forward to expose Basket Release Button. Press the
Basket Release Button
(top photo) and gently lift the
Fry Basket.
Shake ingredients. Place the Fry Basket in the Outer Basket and
return it to the Unit
to finish cooking.
Caution:
The Outer Basket will be hot... wear an oven mitt
during this procedure. Never move the Sliding Button Guard while
shaking or you may press the Basket Release Button accidentally.
Tip:
Set the Timer to 1/2 the time needed for the recipe. The Timer
bell will alert you when it’s time to “shake.”
When you hear the Timer bell, the Preset preparation time has
elapsed. Pull the Outer Basket out of the appliance and place it on
a heat-resistant surface.
To remove ingredients (i.e., fries), place the
Outer Basket on a
heat-resistant surface. Move Sliding Button Guard forward. Press
the Basket Release Button
(
top photo
) and lift the
Fry Basket
out of the Outer Basket. Turn the Fry Basket over and let the
ingredients fall on a plate. Use nonabrasive utensils to remove
larger foods.
Do not turn the Fry Basket upside down with the Outer Basket still
attached... excess oil that has collected on the bottom of the Outer
Basket will leak onto the food.
When a quantity of food is cooked, the Unit is instantly ready for
preparing another batch. When the cooking cycle is over, you may
begin use again immediately.
Settings
• The table on the right will help you select the correct temperature and time for best results. As you become
more familiar with the Power AirFryer XL
TM
cooking process, you may adjust these settings to suit your own
personal tastes.
• Because the Rapid Hot Air Technology instantly reheats the air inside the appliance, pulling the Fry Basket
briefly
out of the appliance during hot air frying barely disturbs the process.
Tips
• Foods that are smaller in size usually require a slightly shorter cooking time than larger ones.
• Large quantities of food only require a slightly longer cooking time than smaller quantities.
• “Shaking” smaller-sized foods halfway through the cooking process assures that all the pieces are fried evenly.
• Adding a bit of vegetable oil to 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 Power AirFryer XL
TM
.
• Use pre-made dough to prepare filled snacks quickly and easily. Pre-made dough also requires a shorter
cooking time than homemade dough.
• Place a baking tin or oven dish in the Fry Basket when baking a cake or quiche. A tin or dish is also
suggested when cooking fragile or stuffed foods.
• You can use the Power AirFryer XL
TM
to reheat foods. Simply set the temperature to 150°C / 300°F for up to 10
minutes.
