Usage Features:

Presets: The oven comes with a comprehensive list of presets, including Air Fry, Fries, Wings, Bacon, Vegetables, Snacks, Seafood, Toast, Bake, Roast, Bagel, Broil, Pizza, Reheat, Keep Warm, Dehydrate, Slow Cook, and Popcorn. Each preset has default temperature and time settings, which can often be adjusted.
Temperature and Time Controls: Dedicated "+" and "-" buttons allow users to adjust the temperature and cook time for most presets. For Toast and Bagel presets, these controls adjust the "shade" or browning level.
Preheat Functionality: Many presets include a preheat phase (indicated by "PrE" on the display) before the cooking time begins. Once preheated, the oven beeps and displays "Add Food."
Popcorn Preset: A unique feature allowing users to make popcorn. This preset requires placing unpopped kernels in the baking pan and covering them with an upside-down air fry basket in the bottom rack position.
Temperature Unit Toggle: Users can switch between Fahrenheit and Celsius by pressing and holding the "KEEP WARM" button.
Stop/Cancel Function: A "STOP/CANCEL" button allows users to pause cooking with a single tap and resume with "START," or cancel cooking entirely by tapping twice.
Accessories: The oven includes an Air Fry Basket, Oven Rack, Baking Pan, and Crumb Tray. The manual provides guidance on which accessory to use for each preset and recommended rack positions. The crumb tray should always be in the bottom of the oven during cooking.
Greasy Food Handling: For air frying greasy foods, the manual recommends using the Baking Pan instead of the Air Fry Basket to catch drips.
Cooking Tips:
- Avoid overcrowding the oven; spread food in a single layer for even cooking.
- When following standard recipes, reduce the cooking temperature by 25°F.
- Check food for doneness a few minutes before the cook time elapses.
- Always ensure raw proteins reach a food-safe temperature.
- For crispier food, use regular cooking oil in an oil mister/spray bottle instead of cooking spray, as cooking spray may damage accessories.
