HOW TO USE

1. Now that you have removed all the packing material and have familiarized yourself with the features of this item, take another moment to read the two informational stickers on your product. The first is alerting you to make sure you place the Air Fryer 5 or more inches away from any wall when the Air Fryer is in use. This allows the air to exit the unit safely. Next you will find a sticker that will instruct you on how to easily remove the frying basket from the cooking pot (see features 8 and 9).

BEFORE FIRST USE

COOKING WITH YOUR AIR FRYER - HELPFUL TIPS

1. Traditional recipes can be converted to be used with Air Fry cooking. Suggested accommodations for Air Frying include lowering the temperature by 25-50 degrees and cutting the cooking time by about 20 percent.

2. Cooking small items requires less cooking time than larger items.

8MODEL: RJ38-P1

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

3. The difference in cooking times for large quantities of food versus smaller quantities is not significant making air frying an efficient and time saving method of cooking.

4. Shaking the cooking basket halfway through the cooking process optimizes your cooking results.

5. Spraying oil on foods from a spray bottle will help brown and crisp your ingredients.

6. Open your Air Fryer as often as you like to check on your ingredients.

7. Don’t overcrowd. If you put too much in the cooking basket, your food will not crisp and brown evenly.

8. If you are making fatty or greasy foods put some water on the bottom of the cooking pot. The cooking basket is perforated, and therefore, the fat from foods will drain through the basket and into the cooking pot away from the food.

9. Water can be added to the cooking pot to create a moist cooking environment.

10. You can reheat food in your Air Fryer. Select a temperature that is safe for your leftovers.

11. To remove delicate or hard to place foods, aluminum foil can be folded into a strip that is placed under a pan, cake, or baking dish in the cooking basket or pot. Tuck the ends into the cooking basket. Lower the food into the Air Fryer and when your cooking is done, unfold the ends and use the foil as a sling to raise the food out of the Air Fryer.

12. You can use oven safe baking dishes or pans in your Air Fryer. This expands your cooking menu to include cakes and quiches. Small dishes may be or fragile and you may want to protect them from breakage in the pot. Caution should be taken to remove these dishes, and an aluminum foil sling can be used.

13. You can bake dough filled snacks in your Air Fryer. Remember to adjust the cooking time for the Air Fryer. Homemade dough takes longer to cook than a purchased dough product.

14. You can even proof your raw dough. Proofing is a step needed to make a yeast based dough rise. Put 1 cup of water in the bottom of your cooking pot. Pre-heat the Air Fryer to 400 degrees for a few minutes. Turn off the Air fryer. Place the dough in a greased bowl in the cooking basket. The dough can sit and proof until you are ready to use it.

15. Clean the cooking pot and basket after every use.
