Although oil is not required, we recommend that you start with one tablespoon and adjust it for personal preference or otherwise that you use the amount of oil suggested in your recipe.  

Use the sheet pan for any cooking function. Place the air fry basket on the rails above the sheet pan when air frying foods that drip, such as marinated ingredients like chicken wings and steak.

Always keep an eye on your food while cooking.

It depends on the food. We recommend to follow package instructions.

Place the air fry basket and sheet pan on heat-safe surfaces only, and use caution when handling, as they will get hot during cooking. You can place accessories on top of the oven. Use a hot pad or trivet to prevent sliding.

Yes, but crispiness results may vary.

You can follow traditional recipes and package instructions with the Bake function. When preparing traditional oven recipes using the Pizza and Air Roast functions, food will cook faster than instructed on packages or in traditional recipes. Always keep an eye on your food while cooking. 

You can follow traditional recipes and package instructions with the Bake function. When preparing traditional oven recipes using the Air Roast function, lower cook time by 30% and temperature by 25°F. Frozen pizzas may cook faster than package instructions using the Pizza function.

For Air Roast, Air Fry, and Bake, preheating is not required but adding ingredients before preheat completes may impact cooking performance. Toast, Bagel, Broil, and Dehydrate do not have preheat.

This oven cooks faster than a traditional oven. Refer to the Inspiration Guide for guidance. 

Do not add food until recommended preheat time is complete. For best results, check progress throughout cooking, and remove food if desired level of doneness has been achieved. Remove food immediately after the cook time is complete to avoid overcooking.

There may be grease on the heating elements. Ensure you are placing the sheet pan in the bottom rails when using the air fry basket or wire rack, which will stop food from dropping onto the bottom heating elements. Also ensure that no food is directly contacting the top heating elements or the top of the cooking cavity.

If problem persists, run a Toast cycle on shade 7 with accessories removed; this will burn off any additional grease on the heating elements causing smoke.

The wrong cooking oil may have been used. Ensure that you are using one of the recommended oils: Canola, Refined Coconut, Avocado, Grapeseed, and Vegetable. Not recommended: Olive Oil, Butter, Margarine.
 
The marinade may have been heated for too long. If you are using a marinade, ensure that you are applying it halfway through the cooking cycle; applying it earlier will result in smoking/burning of the marinade.

The temperature may be set too high for the food getting cooked. Cook any fatty foods at 375°F or lower.

If units are smoking due to fatty foods, incorrect oil, lack of cleaning, or marinade added earlier than halfway through the cooking cycle, they should not be replaced.
