Preparing to Air-Fry:
Find the right place for your Air Fryer Toaster Oven in your kitchen. Make sure you
have some clearance around the oven so that the hot air can escape from the
vent at the back.
The Baking and Warm functions require pre-heating before adding your food. For
all other oven functions, pre-heating is not required as the appliance heats up so
quickly. Sometimes a recipe requires a hot start and putting food into a less than
hot oven will give you less than perfect results. For instance, pastry bakes better
if cold pastry is placed into a hot oven. Pizza dough works better with a burst of
heat at the beginning of baking. It only takes a few minutes to pre-heat the oven,
so unless you’re in a real rush, just wait to put your food inside.
Invest in a kitchen spray bottle. Spraying oil on the food is easier than drizzling or
brushing, and allows you to use less oil overall. It will be worth it! Always spray
before placing your food in the oven. Spraying oil directly into a hot oven could

then the breadcrumbs. Be diligent about the breadcrumbs and press them onto

If you’re cooking very fatty foods, add a little water to the Baking/Drip Pan below
the Air Fryer Basket to help prevent grease from getting too hot and smoking.
Don’t overcrowd the Air Fryer Basket, but cook foods on one layer instead. It’s
tempting to try to cook more at one time, but over-crowding will prevent foods
from crisping and browning evenly and take more time over all.
Spray with oil part way through. If you are trying to get the food to brown and crisp
more, try spritzing it with oil part way through the cooking process. This will also
help the food to brown more evenly. Always remove food from oven, spray your
food then place back in the oven. Spraying oil directly into a hot oven could cause
When using the air fry function, place delicate items lower in the oven so they don’t
over brown or brown too quickly. Foods with ingredients like cheese or pastry on
top can get too hot being too close to the upper element, so take advantage of
the versatility of your Air Fryer Toaster Oven and move the food lower in the oven.
When air-frying lightweight foods, use a lower fan speed in the Air-Fry mode so
that the food doesn't blow around. This is helpful when melting cheese on top of
an open faced sandwich, or air-frying vegetable or tortilla chips. Take advantage
of the versatility of your Air Fryer Toaster Oven and use the lower fan speeds.
After You Air-Fry:
Always make sure the Air Fryer Basket is placed in the Baking/Drip Pan, otherwise
grease and crumbs will drip or fall down on the oven door or countertop.
Don’t pour away the juices from the Baking/Drip Pan too soon. It collects a lot of
juices from the cooked foods above and catches any marinades that you pour
as a sauce to pour over the food. You can also de-grease this liquid and reduce it
Always use caution when moving a pan containing hot liquids. Use oven mitts or
a kitchen towel as pan is hot.
Always clean your oven according to the care and cleaning section of this manual
after each use to prevent grease from building up inside your Air Fryer Toaster
Oven.
