Overview

The PowerXL Air Fryer Oven is a versatile kitchen appliance designed for air frying, dehydrating, and more, offering a healthier way to cook a variety of foods. It operates with a powerful 1700W motor and features an LED touch screen for intuitive control.

Function Description:

The PowerXL Air Fryer Oven utilizes rapid air technology to cook food by circulating hot air, resulting in crispy textures similar to deep-frying but with significantly less oil. Beyond air frying, it also functions as a dehydrator, allowing users to make dried fruits, vegetables, and jerky. The appliance is designed for household use and is not intended for commercial or retail environments. It includes various cooking presets for common dishes like French fries, steaks, fish, shrimp, chicken, baking, rotisserie, and dehydration, simplifying the cooking process. Users can also manually adjust time and temperature settings to suit specific recipes or preferences. A unique rotisserie function allows for even cooking of larger items like whole chickens or roasts, with accessories like a rotisserie shaft, forks, and a rotating mesh basket. An internal light enables users to monitor cooking progress without opening the door, and an automatic shut-off feature enhances safety by turning off the appliance when the timer reaches zero or if overheating occurs.

Important Technical Specifications:

  • Model Number: CM-001
  • Supply Power: AC 120V 60Hz
  • Rated Power: 1700W
  • Capacity: 10 qt. (577 cu in.)
  • Temperature Range: 90° F–400° F (32° C–204° C) for most modes; 90° F–170° F (30° C–75° C) for dehydration.
  • Display: LED Touch Screen
  • Timer: 1–60 minutes for most modes (1-minute intervals); 2–24 hours for dehydration (30-minute intervals).
  • Temperature Control: Adjustable in 5° F (2.7° C) increments.
  • Safety Features: Overheating protection, automatic shut-off, polarized plug.
  • Dimensions: Not explicitly stated, but implied to be a countertop appliance.

Usage Features:

The appliance is designed for ease of use with a digital control panel featuring a Power/Start-Stop Button, Temperature Control Buttons, Time Control Buttons, an Internal Light button, and a Rotation Button for rotisserie mode. Cooking presets (7-14) offer one-touch convenience for popular dishes, with default time and temperature settings that can be overridden. The LED Digital Display shows temperature and remaining time. Running lights blink during operation and for 20 seconds after shut-off to indicate cooling.

Accessories include Air Flow Racks for multi-level cooking and crisping, a Drip Tray to catch excess oil and crumbs, a Rotisserie Shaft with Forks and Set Screws for roasting, a Rotating Mesh Basket for fries and snacks, Adjustable Skewer Racks, Skewers for kabobs, and a Rotisserie Fetch Tool for safe removal of hot rotisserie items.

When placing food, the Drip Tray should always be at the bottom. Air Flow Racks can be positioned at different levels, with higher positions for faster cooking and crispier results. For rotisserie cooking, the shaft is inserted into the left-side socket and then placed on the right-side hanger, ensuring it engages for rotation. The Rotisserie Fetch Tool is crucial for safely handling hot rotisserie accessories.

Tips for optimal use include:

  • Smaller food items require shorter cooking times.
  • Flipping or turning food halfway through the cooking process ensures even frying.
  • Misting fresh potatoes with vegetable oil can enhance crispiness.
  • Premade dough for snacks cooks faster than homemade dough.
  • Fragile or filled foods, as well as cakes and quiches, can be cooked in baking tins or oven dishes placed inside the appliance.
  • The appliance can be used to reheat foods by setting the desired temperature and time.
  • Adding 3 minutes to the cooking time is recommended when starting with a cold appliance.
  • The door can be opened during cooking to check food progress without interrupting the cycle.

Maintenance Features:

Cleaning and storage are straightforward:

  • Always unplug the appliance and allow it to cool completely before cleaning.
  • The Main Unit Housing, which contains electrical components, should never be submerged in water or rinsed under a tap. It can be wiped clean with a warm, moist cloth and mild detergent.
  • All cooking accessories (Rotating Mesh Basket, Air Flow Racks, Rotisserie Shaft, Skewers, etc.) are made of durable stainless steel and are dishwasher safe. However, hand-washing is recommended for caked-on food, which can be soaked in warm, soapy water for easier removal.
  • Abrasive cleaners or utensils should not be used on any surfaces.
  • The inside of the appliance can be cleaned with hot water, a mild detergent, and a nonabrasive sponge. Heating coils should not be scrubbed as they are fragile.
  • Unwanted food residue can be removed with a soft nylon bristle brush.
  • The door can be removed for easier cleaning of the appliance interior and windows. To remove, open the door slightly (about 1 in./2.5 cm) and gently lift it off the hinge. To reattach, align the hinge joints with the slots while the door is slightly open. The door should not be cleaned in a dishwasher.
  • After cleaning, ensure all components are dry before storing the appliance in a clean, dry place.

The manual also provides a troubleshooting guide for common issues like food not cooking evenly, white smoke, or the appliance not working, along with error codes (E1, E2) that indicate thermal sensor issues, requiring customer service contact.
