Convection Baking Tips:

Select Convection Bake for hearty baked goods that require even browning such

as scones and breads as well as for roasts and poultry. Convection Bake is also

perfect for baking evenly browned and crispy homemade pizzas.

Most recipes recommend reducing heat or temperature by 25°F when using

Convection Bake.

Always check for doneness 10 minutes before end of suggested

Fit provided Baking Pan or Oven Rack into upper rack position.

Set the Temperature Dial to Warm. Set the Function Dial to Warm. Then turn the ON/

Oven Timer Dial to the desired warming time to start the oven and begin warming.

The power light will illuminate. The timer will ring once when the cycle is complete

and the oven will power off when the time expires.

To stop warming mid-cycle, turn the ON/Oven Timer dial to the OFF position.

Fit Oven Rack into upper rack position. If toasting two items, center them in the

middle of the Oven Rack. Four items should be evenly spaced – two in front, two in

back. Six items should be evenly spaced – three in front, three in back.

Important Note on Toasting

The Oven Rack must be in the upper rack position as indicated in the diagram on

page 5.

(Refer to chart on page 8 for recommended cooking times and temperatures

for various types of foods.)

Place the AirFryer Basket onto the Baking Pan. AirFry in the upper rack position.

turn the ON/Oven Timer Dial to the desired cooking time to turn on the oven and

begin AirFrying.

The oven power light will illuminate. The timer will ring once when the cycle is

Most oils can be used for AirFrying. Olive oil is preferred for a richer flavor.

Vegetable, canola or grapeseed oil is recommended for a mild flavor.

Distribute oil evenly on food to achieve the crispiest and most golden results. Oil can

be sprayed or brushed onto foods for AirFrying. Alternatively, olive oil and nonstick

cooking sprays can be used.

An assortment of coatings can be used on AirFry foods.

Some examples of different crumb mixtures include breadcrumbs, seasoned

breadcrumbs, panko breadcrumbs, cornflakes, potato chip crumbs, graham

cracker crumbs, quinoa, various flours, etc.

Most foods do not need to be flipped during cooking, but larger items, like chicken

Foods will cook more evenly if they are cut to the same size.

Line the Baking Tray with aluminum foil for easy cleanup.

Please note that when most foods cook, they release water. When cooking large

quantities for an extended period of time, condensation may build up, which could

leave moisture on your countertop.

Place the Grill/Griddle Plate on the baking tray and place in the oven in the lower

rack position.

Set the Function Dial to Grill. Set the Temperature Dial to desired temperature.

Then turn the ON/Oven Timer Dial to the recommended cooking time to turn on

OFF position.

Grilling Tips:

Flipping foods halfway through cooking time ensures even cooking and

grill/griddle marks.

Temperature should be set according to recipe. Grill recipes will be cooked

at 450°F, griddle recipes will vary in temperature.

Always allow the oven to cool completely before cleaning.

Always unplug the oven from the electrical outlet before cleaning.

Do not use abrasive cleaners, as they will damage the finish. Simply
