PRIOR TO USE: IMPORTANT:
- Place the unit on a stable, heat-proof surface and make sure it is not near the edge of the table or countertop.
- Make sure that the power cord is not touching any hot surface.
- Always have enough space around the unit, so there is enough for cover when removed from the unit.
- Make sure you’ve placed the cooking racks/mesh basket inside the glass bowl prior to pre-heating and/or cooking.
- Always have the oven mitts ready to remove the lid and cooked food.
- You may use any oven safe pans, plates, tin foil, etc. that can be used inside the conventional oven.
ASSEMBLY-PLACING FOOD IN UNIT:
1. Open the glass lid and place the cooking racks inside, use one or both racks, depending on the
amount of food. Refer to Suggested Cooking Times table (pp.11-15) and recipe book for more info.
2. Place food to be cooked directly on rack or Mesh Basket (included). This will allow the hot
air to circulate around the food to be able to cook it faster and more even. When air frying foods
like french fries, onion rings, chicken or fish, use the Mesh Basket. See Diagram on right. Place
the Mesh Basket either on top of the lower or higher cooking rack. Refer to Suggested Cooking
Times table (pp.11-15) and recipe book for more info.
NOTE: Although no oil is necessary to air fry food using this unit, you have an option to use a
Sprayer (included). Just fill it with your choice of oil. Then spray it lightly over the food prior to
cooking (1 to 3 sprays).
3. You can increase the capacity of your BIG BOSS™ Digital Oil-Less Fryer when cooking large
foods such as a turkey (up to about 16 lb.). Your BIG BOSS™ Digital Oil-Less Fryer comes with
the Extender Ring that you can place on top of the glass bowl.
4. Just place the flat part of the
extender ring over the glass bowl’s
lip. The extender has its own lip
that will create a perfect seal with
the unit’s lid. See Diagrams on right.
5. Close the lid, lower the handle.
Plug the power cord into the
electrical outlet.
6. Once the unit is plugged in you will hear a short beep. Time LED display will show 0:00
and Temperature LED display will show 000.

OPERATING WITHOUT PRESETS - SETTING THE TIMER:
IMPORTANT: Make sure that the handle is down and completely flat (you will hear a click when the handle is in closed
position) before you use set time or temperature. If the handle is not completely flat, you will not be able to operate
the Digital Oil-Less Fryer. See Diagram above.
9. Use the
“+” or “-” buttons next to the time LED window (top window) to set the time. Time changes in 1 minute increments
(1 min - 1 hour 59 minutes). Refer to cooking times/temperature guide for reference (pp. 11-15). NOTE: The cooking time depends on
the size, weight and thickness of the food to be cooked. Most meats have recommended cooking times, those times should
be used as a guide as this unit cooks faster than conventional ovens, so you may need to allow less time to cook the food.
