17. Unplug the air fryer when not in use.
Helpful Hints
1. Spray olive oil or vegetable oil works well for air frying.
2. Use your air fryer to cook pre-packaged foods with a fraction of
the oil, in a fraction of the time. As a rule of thumb, lower the recipe
baking temperature by 5 ºC, up to 10 ºC and reduce the cooking
time by 30 % to 50 % depending on the food and amount.
3. For best results, some foods need to be shaken vigorously or
turned over during the air fry time. Consult the Air Frying Chart as
a general guide.
4. To avoid excess smoke, when cooking naturally high fat foods,
such as chicken wings or sausages, it may be necessary to empty
fat from the frying basket between batches.
5. Always pat food dry before cooking to encourage browning and
avoid excess smoke.
6. Air fry small batches of freshly breaded foods. Press breading
onto food, place on a cooling rack and refrigerate to help breading
adhere. Arrange in frying basket so that food is not touching to
allow air flow on all surfaces.
7. The air fryer is perfect for reheating food. Set the temperature to
160 ºC for up to 10 minutes.

WARNING! ALWAYS USE A MEAT THERMOMETER TO ENSURE
THAT MEAT, POULTRY AND FISH ARE COOKED THOROUGHLY
BEFORE EATING. The following chart is intended as a guide only. The
quantity of food air fried at one time, the thickness or density of the
food, and whether the food is fresh, thawed, or frozen may alter the
total cooking time necessary.
1. To assure even cooking/browning, open the frying basket halfway
through the cooking time. Check, turn or vigorously shake foods
in the frying basket. This chart lists average total air frying time,
the time at which some action is required, and what action is to be
taken for best results.
2. Remember, frying smaller batches will result in shorter cooking
