Operation
Why won’t
my unit
turn on?
Make sure your unit is plugged into a functional outlet.
Make sure the AirFryer basket is securely in place in the unit.
Call Consumer Service at 1-800-726-0190.
Cooking
Why are fried
foods not crispy
or fried evenly?
Some foods may require more oil than others. If not crispy
enough, lightly spray, brush, or rub more oil on the food.
Make sure food is spread evenly in a single layer in the
AirFryer basket with no overlap. If food still overlaps, toss
or ip food halfway through cooking cycle; use the Toss
Reminder for an audio alert.
Put the food in for additional cooking time. Make sure to
check frequently until food reaches desired brownness.
Why is
my food
undercooked?
If you put too much food in the basket, it may not cook in the
suggested time. Try using smaller batches of food and single
layers, rather than stacking food items on top of each other.
If the temperature is too low, the food may not fully cook.
For AirFrying, the ideal temperature is around 400ºF.
Cleaning
How do I clean
tough-to-remove
food residue from
the basket/
crisper plate?
To remove baked-on grease, soak the accessories in hot,
sudsy water or use a nonabrasive cleaner. We recommend
hand-washing these parts in hot, sudsy water with a nylon
scouring pad or nylon brush and then thoroughly rinsing them,
or washing in a dishwasher.
Error
code
Why am I seeing
an “out” error code
on the display?
If “out” is ashing on your display, make sure the AirFry basket
is securely in place before selecting a function or preset.
This chart recommends cooking times, temperatures, and portions for foods that
can be cooked in the Cuisinart
®
Basket AirFryer. If portions exceed recommenda-
tions, toss or ip foods while cooking to ensure the crispiest, most even results.
Smaller amounts of food may require less time. For best AirFry results, periodically
check on food through viewing window.
Do not discard. Read before operating your new Cuisinart
