Adjust Oven Rack so food is at least 1 inch (2.5 cm) from heating element. 3. Turn Temperature Dial to desired temperature. 4. Rotate Function Dial to AIR FRY. 5. Rotate Timer clockwise past 10, then to desired baking time. Or, rotate to Stay On while pressing and holding buttons on side of Dial. 6. If time is selected, Timer will sound when selected time is complete. 7. Unplug. Cooking Guide NOTE: Foods may need to be flipped, stirred, or rotated during cooking. Foods that cannot be flipped might need to be lightly covered with foil, if getting too brown. Cooking times are suggestions. Cook food until crisp and golden brown. TOAST Mode Use for browning and toasting breads, bagels, and English muffins. Place traditional breads on Oven Rack in upper rack position. When toasting breads or bagels with numerous seeds, place food on Bake Pan in upper rack position to prevent seeds from falling onto lower heating elements; if toasting both sides of bread is desired, flip halfway through toast cycle. This may increase toasting time slightly. 1. Plug into outlet. Turn Temperature Dial to Broil/Toast and then turn Function Dial to TOAST. 2. Select shade of browning by turning Timer clockwise past 10, then back to desired toast color. A bell will sound when cycle is complete. 3. Rotate Timer to OFF ( ) to end cycle at any time. 4. Unplug. TIP: The number of slices of bread and bread freshness will affect toast color. For example, toasting 4 slices of bread will require a darker toast color setting than 2 slices of bread. Adjust TOAST mode based on desired color.
