  9. DO NOT place the appliance in any container or small confined space while the appliance is heated or in operation.
  10. ALWAYS operate the appliance on a horizontal surface that is level, stable, and noncombustible with adequate space for airflow.

  11. Before using your appliance on any countertop surface or other fragile surface, such as a glass tabletop, check with your countertop manufacturer or installer for recommendations about using appliances on your surfaces. Some manufacturers and installers may recommend protecting your surface by placing a hot pad or trivet under the appliance for heat protection. Your manufacturer or installer may recommend that hot pans, pots, or electrical appliances should not be used directly on top of the countertop. If you are unsure, place a trivet or hot pad under the appliance before using it.

  12. DO NOT operate any appliance if it has a damaged cord or plug, if it is not working properly, or if it has been damaged or dropped. Return the appliance to an authorized service facility for examination, repair, or adjustment.
  13. This appliance should be serviced only by qualified service technicians. Contact Customer Service using the information located in the back of this manual.
  14. NEVER immerse the main unit housing in water. If the appliance falls or accidentally becomes immersed in water, unplug the appliance from the electrical outlet immediately. Do not reach into liquid if the appliance is plugged in and immersed.

Instructions for Use

Before First Use

  1. Read all material, warning stickers, and labels.
  2. Remove all packing materials, stickers, and labels from the appliance.
  3. Please go to www.prodprotect.com/powerxl to register your warranty.
  4. Before initial use, wipe the inside and outside of the appliance with a warm, moist cloth and mild detergent. Handwash all cooking accessories.
  5. Place appliance on a heat-resistant surface or use heat protection. Do not place the appliance on a surface that is not heat resistant. Ensure that the appliance is used in an area with adequate air circulation. Do not place on the stove top.
  6. Before cooking food, preheat the appliance for a few minutes to allow the appliance to burn off the manufacturer's protective coating of oil. Wipe the appliance with warm, soapy water and a dishcloth after this burn-in cycle.

Shaking/Flipping

To ensure even cooking, some foods require shaking or flipping during the cooking process. Some of this appliance's functions and presets include a halfway timer, which is a timer that will beep and the Shake Icon on the Control Panel will blink when the cooking cycle has reached its halfway point. At the halfway point in the cycle, carefully use oven mitts to remove the hot Fry Basket from the appliance. For food with high moisture content, use tongs to flip the food. Otherwise, gently shake the Fry Basket.

NOTE: If you do not remove the Fry Basket and shake or flip the food, the Shake Icon on the Control Panel will remain illuminated.

Tips

  • Foods that are smaller in size usually require a slightly shorter cooking time than larger foods.
  • Snacks normally cooked in an oven can also be cooked in this appliance.
  • Use premade dough to prepare filled snacks quickly and easily. Premade dough also requires a shorter cooking time than homemade dough.
  • Adding a bit of vegetable oil to breaded items can help produce a crispier result. When adding oil, do so immediately before cooking and add only a small amount onto the breaded items.

Using the Paper Liners

The Paper Liners can be used when cooking delicate or sticky food; they help prevent food from sticking to the Fry Tray, making clean-up easier. Lay a Paper Liner on top of the Fry Tray before adding your ingredients to the Fry Basket.

The Paper Liners are heat resistant up to 450°F.

The holes in the Paper Liners help air circulate around your food.

When using a Paper Liner, make sure you add enough food to keep the Paper Liner in place during the cooking process.

The Paper Liners should not be reused. After using one to cook, throw it away.

Using the Appliance

  1. Plug the appliance into a dedicated electrical outlet.

  2. Pull the Fry Basket out of the appliance. Ensure the Fry Tray has been placed in the Fry Basket. Place the ingredients inside the Fry Basket (see Fig. A). If you are using an accessory, such as the Grill Plate, place the accessory on the Fry Tray before adding ingredients.

  3. Use the Handle to push the Fry Basket into the appliance (see Fig. B).

  4. Press the Power Button on the Control Panel. Use either a Cooking Function Button, a Cooking Preset Button, or the Time and Temperature Control Buttons to set the appropriate time and temperature for your recipe (see Fig. C). Press the Start/Pause Button to begin the cooking process.

  5. When the timer beeps two times, the appliance is reminding you to shake or flip your food (see "Shaking/Flipping" in "Instructions for Use"). When the timer beeps one time, the set cooking time has elapsed. Pull the Fry Basket out of the appliance and place it on a heat-resistant surface.

  6. When removing food from the Fry Basket, avoid contact with hot excess oil or any hot cooking accessories. To avoid being burned, use silicone-tipped tongs or carefully tip the food out of the Fry Basket (see Fig. D). The Fry Tray is not secured and can fall out, and hot liquid might be located underneath the Fry Tray.

  7. If the food is not fully cooked, simply use the Handle to slide the Fry Basket back into the appliance and add a few minutes to the cooking time.

  8. When cooking multiple batches of food, drain any grease or liquid from the Fry Basket.

CAUTION: The holes in the sides of the Fry Basket (see Fig. B) help the appliance cook food faster and more evenly, but grease or other liquids can leak out of the holes in the side of the Fry Basket if the basket is tipped. Always keep the Fry Basket level to avoid leaking.
