COOKING

The Vortex uses rapid air circulation to crisp or cook food, giving your

meals all the rich, crispy flavor of deep frying, with little to no oil.

HOT SURFACES

The air fryer chamber will be hot during and after cooking.

Always exercise extreme caution when removing food from the

hot air frying basket and cooking chamber. Touching hot surfaces

may result in personal injury, and/or property damage.

MUST ALLOW AIR FLOW

To prevent personal injury, do not block air intake or air vents.

What to cook in

• The cooking basket with cooking tray is perforated to allow air

to flow under and around your food, and should be used for most

foods, like wings and cauliflower bites.

You can place food right on the cooking tray, without using foil or

other coverings.

• For the Baking program only, you can use a metal or Pyrex®baking

dish to hold things like batter for cakes and dough for breads.

Place the baking dish inside the cooking basket for baking.

Prep

Cut, chop, season, marinate or batter your ingredients according

to your recipe.

Cook

1. Place your food into the air frying basket, according to your recipe.

2. Insert the air frying basket into the cooker.

When the air frying basket is inserted securely, the front of the basket is

flush with the front of the cooker.
