• If you don't have the air fry tray, place food on a
wire rack inside a foil-lined broiler pan.

• 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 the provided 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.
Recommendations When Air Frying
High-Fat Foods
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, bacon, sausage,
hot dogs, turkey legs, lamb chops, ribs, pork loin,
duck breasts, or some plant-based proteins.
CAUTION
• 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
