Using Air Fry Mode

Using the Air Fry Mode

  1. Touch the Air Fry button, enter weight or servings, and press "Select" to confirm.
  2. Insert the air fry basket and food when prompted.
  3. Press the "Start" button to start cooking. And turn/flip food when prompted.

Reminders:

  • Microwave oven cavity, inside of the door, air fry basket, and glass tray will be hot.
  • During or after cooking, the air fry basket will be hot; always use mitts to remove and handle the hot air fry basket.
  • The feet of the air fry basket are foldable. Please do not use the feet of the basket when handling the basket; otherwise, there is a risk of tipping.
  • Before cooking, kindly remind yourself to open the foldable feet and put the air fry basket in the center of the turntable.
  • When cooking juicy meats, a microwave-safe dish can be placed on the turntable and under the air fry basket as a grease pan.
  • When taking out the basket from the cavity, pay attention to whether there is any dripping juice in the basket, so as to avoid scalding or causing the table surface to be dirty.

Manual Air Fry

Manual air fry: This function uses forced air combined with the grill function to obtain a deep-fried effect in a microwave oven environment instead of submerging the food in oil. For better performance we recommend using auto recipes to fry food first. If there is no recipe, you can try the manual function.

  1. Open the foldable feet of the air fry basket.
  2. Place the air fry basket on the center of the turntable and turn the turntable to make sure the air fry basket does not touch the cavity wall.
  3. Air fry default temperature is 425°F (218°C). Use number pads to enter a different temperature, 400°F (204°C) to 450°F (232°C).
  4. Touch Time/Power, and enter time in minutes and seconds, up to 99:59. Default time is 30 minutes.
  5. Touch Start to cook. Allow to turn food if needed.
