AIR FRYING PROGRAMS

Air Fry: The most common air frying program,

this setting produces food with a crispy exterior,

such as French fries, chicken wings, potatoes,

breaded cutlets, meatballs, fish and seafood, tofu,

doughnuts, fritters, and more.

Roast: The Roast setting is best for large cuts

of meat.

Broil: Using direct, top-down heating, Broil yields

extremely juicy chicken and beef dishes. You

can place foods for broiling either in the air fryer

basket or on the broil/dehydrating tray, which

brings them closer to the pot’s heating element.

Bake: This setting is ideal for cakes, quick breads,

brownies, and cookies. If baking in the multilevel

air fryer basket, line the interior with parchment

paper for recipes involving loose batter. (You can

also purchase air fryer liners, which have tiny holes

to help the air circulate.) If using a baking dish,

place the rack on the bottom of the inner pot,

then place the dish on the rack in the inner pot.

Leave about 1 inch (2.5 cm) of space around all

sides of the dish to allow heat to circulate evenly.

Dehydrate: This program applies low heat over a

long period of time to safely dry out foods. Use it

for preparing fruit leather, jerky, and dried fruits

and vegetables.

CLEANING

Before the first use, remove the inner pot from the

cooker base and wash it with hot water and dish

soap. The inner pot is also dishwasher safe. Wash

the accessories with hot water and dish soap, then

rinse with warm water and dry with a soft cloth.

After each use, wash accessories and parts with

hot water and mild dish soap and then air dry, or

place on the top rack of the dishwasher. Never

clean them with harsh detergents, powders, or

scouring pads.

You can coat the air fryer basket and/or

dehydrating tray with nonstick cooking spray

before adding food for easier cleanup.

• Store the sealing ring in a well-ventilated area

to decrease any residual odor. To eliminate

odors, add 1cup (240 ml) water and 1 cup (240

ml) white vinegar to the inner pot and run the

Pressure Cook program for 5–10 minutes, then

quick-release the pressure. You can also use one

sealing ring for sweet dishes and one for savory.

• To remove baked-on grease and food residue

from accessories and the air fryer lid, spray them

with a mixture of baking soda and white vinegar

and wipe clean with a damp cloth. For stubborn

stains, let the mixture sit on the affected area for

several minutes before scrubbing clean.

Inner pot: Wash the inner pot after each use and

be sure that all of the outside surfaces are dry

before placing it in the cooker base. To remove

hard water staining, dampen a sponge with white

vinegar and scrub gently. If there is tough or

burned food residue at the bottom, soak the pot

in hot water for a few hours before cleaning.

Air fryer lid: Let the air fryer lid cool to room

temperature, then clean the heating element

and surrounding area with a damp soft cloth or

sponge. Wipe the exterior clean with a damp soft

cloth or sponge.

Cooker base: Clean the cooker base and control

panel with a barely damp soft cloth or sponge.

Do not rinse or immerse the cooker base in water.
