Tips & Tricks

PREHEAT
The unit preheats quickly in Air Oven Mode, so prep all ingredients before preheating. Time will start counting down immediately after the unit is
preheated. To add time, simply turn the dial.

Food cooks faster with Rapid Bake, Frozen Pizza, and Air Roast, so for traditional oven
recipes, lower the cook time and temperature. For Rapid Bake and Frozen Pizza, reduce cook
time on recommended package instructions 30-50%.

With Dual Heat functions, use only the SearPlate in the bottom rails. When adding or removing food from the hot SearPlate, you may place it on a trivet on top of the
oven or other level surface.
Using other accessories in bottom rails will result in temperature inaccuracy.

For marinades containing sugar, honey, or other sweeteners, brush
onto proteins halfway through broiling to avoid burning.

For deep cleaning, let accessories soak in warm, soapy water overnight and scrub with a
non-abrasive brush or sponge.

Halfway through cooking with Sear Crisp, Air Roast, or Air Fry, pull SearPlate 3/4 out of the oven to flip ingredients for consistently
crispy results.

Spray air fry basket with nonstick cooking spray
to minimize sticking.

When using the Bagel function, place bagels cut-side
up on the rack.

Use oven mitts rated for 500�F.

For best results, place all ingredients in one layer. For sheet pan meals, cut ingredients to the same size.

To flip up, hold handles on each side of the oven. Lift and flip the oven onto its side. Leave in the upright position when storing for extra counterspace.

How to reduce smoke

When cooking greasy, drippy foods with the Air Fry Basket, place the SearPlate in the bottom rails to catch the drippings.

Avoid exceeding 400�F when using oils to limit smoke.

Clean all accessories from grease build up including crumb tray and clean interior of oven before each use.
