Cooking with the air fryer lid
Stage 3: Cooking
01 During Air Fry and Roast, the
multicooker beeps partway through
cooking and the display shows
turn Food.
Some food doesn't need to be
ipped. If you don't remove the lid
after the turn food indicator appears,
cooking continues after 10 seconds.
02 If you want to turn or toss your food,
lift the lid off the cooker base and
place it on the protective pad
Carefully turn, ip, or rotate your food
items, then place the air fryer lid back
on the multicooker base to resume
cooking.
If the lid is left off for longer than 3
minutes, the multicooker goes back to
standby mode and shows OFF.
03 When one minute remains, the display
counts down by seconds.
04 When the Smart Program completes,
the cooker beeps and the display
shows End. The fan may keep blowing
for up to 5 minutes or until you lift the
lid.
05 The air fryer lid beeps to remind you
that cooking has ended 5 minutes,
20 minutes, and 60 minutes after
cooking nishes.
Cooking tips
Cook all your favorite fresh and frozen oven-baked and deep-fried snacks — fast!
• Preheating is an important step! Wait for the Add Food message to appear before
adding food to the inner pot.
• For coated food, like onion rings or deep-fried pickles, use an egg wash with
breadcrumbs rather than liquid-based batters to make sure that batter sticks to
the food.
• Spray food items with cooking oil before adding seasoning to get the seasoning to
stick well.
• For super crispy fries, soak your fresh cut potato sticks in ice water for 15 minutes, then
pat them dry and spray them lightly with oil before cooking.
• Patting dry moist food items before cooking prevents excess steam and splatter and
gives you crispier results.

CAUTION
When cooking meat, always use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal
temperature reaches a safe minimum temperature. Refer to the USDA’s
Safe Minimum Internal Temperature Chart or Health Canada's Cooking
Temperatures Chart for more information.
