You can use the built-in timer to seta 3-minute countdown.6 Cook time and temperature can also be adjusted at any time during cooking. Simplypress the up and down TIME or TEMP arrows to adjust the time or temperature.2 To convert recipes designed for conventional ovens, reduce the temperature of theAir Fryer by 25 F. Check food frequently to avoid overcooking.3 For best results with fresh vegetables and potatoes, use at least 1 tablespoon of oil.Add more oil as desired to achieve the preferred level of crispiness.7 For best results, check progress throughout cooking, and shake basket frequently.Remove food when desired level of brownness has been achieved. We recommendusing an instant-read thermometer to monitor the internal temperature of proteins.Remove food immediately after the cook time is complete remove food immediatelyto avoid overcooking.4 Use the crisper plate when you want food to come out crispy. The crisper plate elevatesfood in the basket, allowing air to go under the plate and evenly crisp ingredients.8 Occasionally, the fan from the air fryer will blow lightweight food around. To alleviatethis, secure food (like the top slice of bread on a sandwich) with toothpicks.5 Make sure the basket is fully inserted during cooking. For consistent browning, arrangeingredients in an even layer on the bottom of the basket with no overlapping.6NINJA AIR FRYERninjakitchen.com7

This will help them retain their color whilethey dehydrate.4 F ruits and vegetables should be patted as dry as possible before being loaded intothe dehydrator.6 M ost fruits and vegetables take between 6 and 8 hours (at 135 F) to dehydrate.When trying a new food load, start checking doneness at 6 hours and monitoruntil it is cooked to your liking.7 T o maximize longevity, store dehydrated foods at room temperature in an air-tightcontainer for up to 2 weeks.8 W hen dehydrating meats and fish, it is recommended to Roast at 330 F for1 minute as a final step in order to fully pasteurize the food.9 For jerky, the longer you dehydrate it, the crispier it will be.5 L ay raw food flat on bottom of basket, crisper plate, and multi-layer rack. Foodshould be placed close together to optimize space but individual pieces should notoverlap or be stacked.8NINJA AIR FRYERninjakitchen.com9
