For best results, cook food on a single rack placed in positions suggested in the chart in this manual.
Spread the food out evenly in a single layer.
Use either an air fry tray or a dark baking tray with no sides or short sides that does not cover the entire rack. This allows for better air circulation.
If desired, spray the baking tray or air fry tray with a pan spray. Use an oil that can be heated to a high temperature before smoking, such as avocado, grapeseed, peanut or sunflower oil.
Place a foil-lined baking tray on a rack in position 1 to catch the oil falling from the food. For high-fat foods like chicken wings, add a few sheets of parchment paper to absorb the fat.
Check food often and shake it or turn it over for crisper results.
Prepared frozen foods may cook faster with the Air Fry mode than stated on the package. Reduce the cooking time by about 20 percent, check food early, and adjust cooking time as needed.
Use a food thermometer to make sure food has reached a safe temperature for consumption. Eating undercooked meats can increase your risk of food-borne illness.
For the crispiest results, dredge fresh chicken wings or tenders in seasoned flour. Use 1/3 cup flour for 2 pounds of chicken.
Foods high in fat will smoke when using the Air Fry mode. For best results, follow these recommendations when air frying foods that are high in fat, such as chicken wings, turkey legs, lamb chops, ribs, duck breasts, or some plant-based proteins.
Never cover slots, holes, or passages in the oven bottom or cover entire racks with materials such as aluminum foil. Doing so blocks airflow through the oven and can result in carbon monoxide poisoning. Aluminum foil can also trap heat, causing a fire hazard or poor oven performance.
Open a window or sliding glass door, if possible, to make sure the kitchen is well-ventilated.
Keep the oven free from grease buildup. Wipe down the interior of the oven before and after air frying (once the oven has cooled).
Run oven cleaning cycles (EasyClean or Pyrolysis) regularly, depending on how often and what types of food you Air Fry.
Avoid opening the oven door more than necessary to help maintain the oven temperature, prevent heat loss, and save energy.
Air-frying fresh chicken pieces such as wings or drumsticks with the skin left on can produce smoke as the fat renders at high temperatures. If the smoke is excessive, use the Roast mode instead of Air Fry.
