How to Use
Check the rubber pads on the bottom of the air fryer base before each use to be sure they are free of oil or other debris. If needed, wipe with a warm, soapy cloth and dry thoroughly.
- Position the air fryer on a clean, dry, level, and stable surface in the center of the countertop, away from combustible materials. Always make sure air fryer and cord are out of reach of children.
- Do not block the vents on the back of the air fryer. This disrupts the airflow, affects the final cooking results, and may cause the fryer to overheat.
- Remove the basket assembly from the air fryer by firmly grasping the basket handle, pulling it toward you, and then sliding the assembly out of the unit. Place it on the countertop.
Do not fill the pan with oil or any other liquid. Never use the basket assembly without the basket in it.
- Fill the basket up to 34 full with food. Do not overfill.
- Slide the basket assembly back into the air fryer. Plug cord into a 120VAC electrical wall outlet only.
- Touch the power button. There will be an audible signal and the unit will automatically turn on in 4 to 5 seconds. You can manually set or adjust the time and temperature at any point or select one of the food presets, even after the cooking cycle has started.
Refer to the temperature and time recommended in the recipe or the Cooking Guide on pages 9 and 10. It is normal for steam to escape around the fryer during cooking.
NOTE: When using the air fryer for the first time, a slight odor or light smoking may occur as manufacturing residue evaporates. This is normal.
- When the set time has expired, there will be an audible signal and END will appear in the display. The air fryer will stop heating and go into standby mode.
Allow prepared food to rest 5 to 10 seconds before removing the basket assembly.
- Grasping the handle, carefully slide the basket assembly out of the air fryer to make sure food is golden brown. Do not touch the basket or pan as they get hot during use.
If additional cooking time is needed, slide the basket assembly back into the air fryer and reset the time and temperature as desired.
-
Once the food is done, slide the basket assembly out of the air fryer and place it on a heat-resistant surface, such as a cooling rack. Press the basket release button and separate the basket from the assembly. Empty prepared food on to a serving plate and season to taste.
-
If preparing additional food, repeat steps 4 through 9. When cooking is complete, remove the plug from the wall outlet. Allow the air fryer to cool completely before cleaning.
Helpful Hints
- In most instances, it is not necessary to preheat your air fryer. However, preheating for 3 to 5 minutes will result in a better quality product for foods that are baked, such as muffins, cakes, and cupcakes.
- For the best results and most even browning, cut food into pieces of equal size and thickness and place in a single layer in the basket.
-
The air fryer can be used for baking many wonderful foods. The use of accessory pans or tins will be necessary for baking.
-
Use individual muffin tins, oven-safe glass custard cups, or ceramic ramekins for baking muffins, cupcakes, or egg dishes.
- Use disposable or permanent loaf-type pans measuring no more than 8 × 3% inches when baking cakes or quick breads.
- Use a 6-inch pie pan or tart pan for pies, tarts, and quiches.
• After filling the accessory pans or tins, position them in the basket.
- Frozen fries do not require oil because they have been partially fried before freezing.
- For the best results when making fries from scratch, follow these suggestions:
- Begin with the right potato. Baking-type potatoes, such as russet, will yield a fluffier, drier fry. Do not refrigerate potatoes as that will make the fries soggier.
- Soak the cut potatoes for at least 30 minutes before cooking. After soaking, drain potatoes and pat dry with paper towels.
- Spray cut potatoes with cooking oil spray or coat with 12 to 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil before cooking.
- Fill the basket with no more than 1 pound of fries.
-
Shake basket twice during cooking.
-
When cooking naturally high-fat foods, such as chicken wings, the basket assembly may become hotter than usual. This does not affect cooking results. To avoid excess smoke, empty any oil or grease that has collected in the pan between batches and clean the entire basket assembly after each use.
- Do not overfill the basket. Foods will be crispier and cook more evenly when there is plenty of room in which the air can circulate. Most foods cook better when a single layer of food is placed in the basket.
• Always pat food dry. This will allow for better browning and a crispier exterior. -
If desired, foods can be coated with breading. Be sure to firmly press the breading onto the food. To aid in getting the breading to adhere to the food, first dip the food into a mixture of 1 beaten egg and 12 cup milk. Coat with panko bread crumbs. You may also mix 1 tablespoon of oil into the bread crumbs before pressing them onto the food.
-
Many foods require shaking or flipping halfway through cooking to ensure more even cooking and browning. To shake or flip food, remove the basket assembly from the air fryer, shake or flip food, and then slide the assembly back into place. Do not press the basket release button during shaking.
- If the basket assembly is too heavy for shaking food, you may release the basket from the pan by pressing the basket release button and lifting the basket out of the pan. Shake the basket and then return it to the pan. Slide the basket assembly back into place.
- The timer may be set as a reminder to shake food. However, once food has been shaken, reset the timer for the remaining cooking time.
- Use pre-made dough to prepare filled snacks quickly and easily. Pre-made dough has a shorter cooking time than homemade dough.
- Snacks that can be prepared in the oven can also be prepared in the air fryer. As a general rule, lower the cooking temperature by 25^ and reduce the cooking time 3 to 5 minutes.
- Your favorite recipe may be adapted to the AirDaddy™ air fryer by using the cooking times provided in the Cooking Guide on pages 9 and 10 or using one of the recipes on pages 11 through 15 as a guide for determining the appropriate time and temperature.
- The air fryer can be turned off at any time by touching the power button.
Care and Cleaning
- After the air fryer has cooled completely, carefully slide the basket assembly out of the air fryer. Separate the basket from the assembly following the instructions in the "Before First Use" section on page 4.
- Wash the entire basket assembly (the pan and basket) in warm, soapy water.
For any stuck on food residue, it will be helpful to soak the basket in hot, soapy water before cleaning. Rinse and dry thoroughly. A brush may be needed to thoroughly clean residue from the basket.
It is not recommended that any part of the air fryer be washed in the dishwasher. - The outside surface of the air fryer can be wiped clean with a moist cloth. Do not use steel wool scouring pads or abrasive kitchen cleaners.
Never immerse the air fryer or plug in water or other liquid. - Once the air fryer has been cleaned, the cord can be wrapped and secured on the tab located on the back of the unit for convenient storage.
- Any maintenance required for this product, other than normal household care and cleaning, should be performed by the Presto Factory Service Department.
Do not use steel wool scouring pads or abrasive kitchen cleaners.
Cooking Guide
This guide lists the suggested food amount, temperature, cooking time, and any action required to obtain the best results. The quantity, thickness, and density of food prepared may affect cooking time, as will personal preference. Fill the basket no more than 14 full for most foods.
