Getting Started

Initial Setup

“Notice the small things. The rewards are inversely proportional.” – Liz Vassey.

1. Pull that Instant™ Vortex™ Mini Air Fryer out of the box!
2. Remove the air fryer basket and check the cooking chamber for loose packing material before first use. Don’t remove the silicone supports from the removable cooking tray.
3. You may be tempted to put the air fryer on your stovetop — but don’t do it! Place it on a stable, level surface, away from combustible material and external heat sources. Do not place your air fryer on top of another appliance. Make sure to leave at least 13 cm of space above and around all sides of the appliance.
4. Follow the Care, Cleaning & Storage instructions to wash your new air fryer before using it. Don’t remove the safety warning stickers or the rating label from the air fryer.

Initial Test Run
Do you have to do the test run? No — but getting to know the ins and outs of your Instant™ Vortex™ Mini Air Fryer prepares you for success in the kitchen! Take a few minutes to get to know how this little baby works.

Stage 1: Setting up the air fryer for cooking

7. Touch Start to begin!
   The display shows On and the cooking status shows Preheat. The first few times you use your air fryer, you may notice a strong plastic smell. This is normal, non-toxic, and goes away quickly.

Stage 2: “Cooking” (…but not really, this is just a test!)

1. When the air fryer is hot enough, the display shows Add Food. For this initial test, do not add food to the air fryer basket. Carefully remove and re-insert the air fryer basket. The displayalternates between the cooking time and temperature, and the cooking status shows Cook.
2. Part way through cooking, the display shows turn Food. Wait 10 seconds for the program to resume automatically, or, remove and re-insert the air fryer basket to pause and resume the program manually.
3. When 1 minute remains, the display counts down the remaining cooking time in seconds. When the Smart Program completes, the display shows End and the fan blows for a little while to help cool the air fryer.
4. Press the dial or remove and re-insert the air fryer basket to return to standby mode and start cooking for real! If you forget this last step, the air fryer will beep to remind you about it after 5, 30, and 60 minutes.

   Cook
10. When the pressure is ready, your Instant Pot Duo will beep once and starts cooking.
11. The cooking time starts counting down.
12. When the timer reaches 00:00, the cooker will beep 5 times, and the cooking stops.

You can press Cancel to stop a Smart Program at any time.
Release steam
Choose from the steam release method that works for your recipe.
See ‘How to release steam’ below for full details
Using liquid to create steam
Pressure cooking requires liquid in the inner cooking pot to produce the steam needed. Depending on the size of your Instant Pot Duo, here are the minimum amounts you’ll need:

*Unless otherwise specified in the recipe.
Pressure cooking liquids should be water-based, such as broth, stock, soup, or juice. If using canned, condensed, or cream-based soup, add water as directed above.
How to lock the lid
For pressure cooking, the lid must be securely locked into place to prevent steam from escaping. When you place the lid on the cooker base:

1. Line up [triangle symbol] on lid with [open padlock symbol] on the cooker base.
2. Turn lid clockwise until [triangle symbol] on lid lines up with [triangle symbol] on cooker base.

How to release steam
Instant Pot Duo can release steam in 2 different ways. Use the one that best fits the type of food you’re cooking.
Natural steam release
Releases steam gradually over time (up to 40 minutes or more) after cooking stops.
Use for: Foods that can simmer, like stews, chili, pasta, oatmeal, beans, and grains.

1. After cooking, leave the steam release switch in the Sealing position until all pressure is released.
2. The float valve drops into the lid when all steam is released.
3. After steam release, turn the lid counterclockwise and remove the lid.

Quick steam release
Quickly releases steam after you press the steam release switch.
Use for: Foods that tend to overcook, like vegetables and seafood.

1. After cooking, set steam release switch to Venting position and wait for all pressure to release.
2. The float valve drops into the lid when all steam is released.
3. After steam release, turn the lid counterclockwise and remove the lid.

Pressure Cooking Caution
This appliance uses pressure to cook. Allow the appliance to release all excess pressure and steam before opening the lid. Opening the lid before pressure is released may result in burns, injury, and/ or property damage. Read more in the Safety, Maintenance, and Warranty document.
Pressure Cooking Smart Programs
These Smart Programs are designed to pressure cook specific types of food. You can adjust the settings as your recipe directs.
Soup/Broth

Tip
The soup/broth remains clear due to a lack of boiling motion. Use Natural Release for soups with higher starch content.
Meat/Stew

Tip
Allow meat to rest for 5-30 minutes after cooking to retain juices.
Beans/Chili

Tips
Choose to set based on desired bean texture or adjust the cooking time manually. When cooking beans or legumes, always use the Natural Release Method.
Make sure dry beans are completely submerged in water.
Poultry

Tip
Allow meat to rest for 5-30 minutes depending on size. It will retain cooking juices for tender, succulent meat
Rice

Tip
The Instant Pot Duo automatically adjusts cooking time depending on the volume of rice; the display will show Auto. You can adjust cooking time and setting to achieve desired texture. Use a 10-minute timed steam release for fluffy rice.
Multigrain

Tip
The More setting will add an additional 45 minutes for soaking grains/beans with 60 minutes of pressure cooking
Porridge

Tips
Adjust cooking time as the recipe directs. Use Natural Steam Release when cooking foods that expand.
Steam

Tips
Use the provided steam rack to elevate food above cooking liquid. Use Quick Steam Release to avoid overcooking food.

Cooking Tips

Instant Air Fryer Ovens can cook all your favorite fresh and frozen oven-baked, and deep-fried snacks—fast!

• Use the Smart Programs as a starting point and experiment with cooking times, and temperatures to get the results your prefer.
• Rotisserie-cooked foods and rotisserie accessories, and foods must be placed in the oven before touching Start
• With the exception of rotisserie-cooked foods, most foods will benefit greatly from a preheated oven. Wait for the display to read “Add Food” before inserting food into the cooking chamber.
• When cooking coated food items, choose breadcrumb batters over liquid-based batters to ensure that the batter will stick to the food.
• Flip or rotate food items when the display indicates “turn Food” to ensure they are evenly cooked on both sides.
• For crispy, golden fries, soak fresh potato sticks in ice water for 15 minutes, pat dry and spray lightly with cooking oil before inserting them to the oven.
• When baking cake, pie, quiche, or any food with filling or batter, use an oven-safe baking dish and cover food with foil or an oven-safe lid to prevent the top from overcooking.
• The drip pan doubles as a flat cooking tray. Use the drip pan when cooking fragile or filled foods.
• When cooking pizza, insert both cooking trays into the oven and place the pizza on the bottom cooking tray.
• Pat moist food items dry before cooking to prevent steam, splatter and excess steam.
• Air frying can cause oil and fat to drip from foods. To prevent excess smoke, carefully remove and empty the drip pan periodically throughout cooking.
• To ensure seasoning adheres to food items, spray food items with cooking oil before adding seasoning.
• Feel free to use any oven-safe cookware in your Air Fryer Oven.

Initial test run

Do you have to do the test run? No — but getting to know the ins and outs of your Vortex prepares you for success in the kitchen! Take a few minutes to get to know how this little guy works.

Stage 1: Setting up the air fryer for cooking

Cooking tips

Give all your favorite fresh and frozen oven-baked and deep-fried snacks a fighting chance!

• Preheating is an important step! Wait for the Add Food message to appear before adding food to the air fryer basket.
• When baking muffins, buns, quiche, and other treats, cover your oven-safe baking dish to prevent the top from overcooking.
• For coated food, like onion rings or deep-fried pickles, use an egg wash with breadcrumbs rather than liquid-based batters to make sure that batter sticks to the food.
• Spray food items with cooking oil before adding seasoning to get the seasoning to stick well.
• For super-crispy fries, soak your fresh-cut potato sticks in ice water for 15 minutes, then pat them dry and spray them lightly with oil before cooking.
• Patting dry moist food items before cooking to prevents excess steam and splatter and gives you crispier results.
• Air frying can cause oil and fat to drip from foods. To prevent excess smoke, carefully remove and drain the air fryer basket as needed.

7. Touch Start to begin!
   The display shows On and the cooking status shows Preheat. The first few times you use your air fryer, you may notice a strong plastic smell. This is normal, non-toxic, and goes away quickly.

Stage 2: “Cooking” (…but not really, this is just a test!)

1. When the air fryer is hot enough, the display shows Add Food. For this initial test, do not add food to the air fryer basket. Carefully remove and re-insert the air fryer basket. The display shows the cooking time and temperature, and the cooking status shows Cook.
2. Part way through cooking, the display shows turn Food. Wait 10 seconds for the program to resume automatically, or, remove and re-insert the air fryer basket to pause and resume the program manually.
3. When 1 minute remains, the display counts down the remaining cooking time in seconds. When the Smart Program completes, the display shows End and the fan blows for a little while to help cool the air fryer.
4. Press the dial or remove and re-insert the air fryer basket to return to standby mode and start cooking for real!

If you forget this last step, the air fryer will beep to remind you about it after 5, 30, and 60 minutes

CAUTION: The air fryer and air fryer basket will be hot during and after cooking. To avoid the risk of burn injury, DO NOT touch hot surfaces. Allow the air fryer to cool to room temperature, then clean the appliance according to Care, cleaning and storage instructions.

Cooking tips

Give all your favorite fresh and frozen oven-baked and deep-fried snacks a fighting chance!

• Preheating is an important step! Wait for the Add Food message to  appear before adding food to the air fryer basket.
• When baking muffins, buns, quiche, and other treats, use an oven safe baking dish covered with foil (or an oven-safe lid) to prevent the top from overcooking.
• For coated food, like onion rings or deep-fried pickles, use an egg wash with breadcrumbs rather than liquid-based batters to make sure that batter sticks to the food.
• Spray food items with cooking oil before adding seasoning to get the seasoning to stick well.
• For super crispy fries, soak your fresh-cut potato sticks in ice water for 15 minutes, then pat them dry and spray them lightly with oil before cooking.
• Patting dry moist food items before cooking to prevents excess steam and splatter and gives you crispier results.
• Air frying can cause oil and fat to drip from foods. To prevent excess smoke, carefully remove and drain the air fryer basket as needed.

How does an air fryer work?

Air fryers use convection heat to cook foods so that they are browned and crispy on the outside but remain moist and tender on the inside. Cooking with an air fryer takes less time and makes less of a mess than deep frying or traditional oven roasting. Another plus is that air frying also uses minimal oil.

Do air fryers use a lot of electricity?

Air fryers are much more energy-efficient than most convection ovens because they cook food much faster, though they do use electricity which is typically more expensive than gas.

What is the disadvantage of air fryer?

The downside Air-frying also produces high temperatures at a very rapid rate, thus making it extremely easy to burn food. And charred food may be carcinogenic. In addition, Cucuzza adds, because most devices cook 1 to 3 pounds of food at a time, it can be challenging to air-fry meals for a large family.

What does red light mean on air fryer?

ºF/°C SWITCHABLE
Temperature readings are available in the Fahrenheit or Celsius scale (Tit; located in the upper right corner of LCD.) With the unit off, press and hold the On/Off Button for approximately 2 seconds to change the current setting.

DIRECTIONS

1.  Press the On/Off Button next to the LCD display. A tone will sound as the screen shows; BRE, followed by the last recorded temperature. After showing the self-test temperature, the thermometer is now in testing mode.
2. Position thermometer in the desired location (mouth, rectum, or armpit.)
   a) Oral Use: Place thermometer under tongue as indicated by ” d ” position shown in Figure 2. Close your mouth and breathe evenly through the nose to prevent the measurement from being influenced by inhaled/exhaled air. Normal temperature between 96.37 and 99.17 (35.7 °C and 37.3 °C).
   b) Rectal Use: Lubricate silver probe tip with petroleum jelly for easy insertion. Gently insert sensor approximately lcm (less than 1/2 “) into the rectum. Normal temperature between 97.2°F and 99.97 (36.2 rands 37.7 °C).
   
   c) Armpit Use: Wipe armpit dry. Place the probe in the armpit and keep arm pressed firmly at the side. From a medical viewpoint, this method will always provide inaccurate readings, and should not be used if precise measurements are required. Normal temperature between 95.4°F and 98.1°F (35.2 °C and 36.7 °C).
3. The degree sign flashes throughout the testing process. When flashing stops an alarm will beep for approximately 10 seconds. The measured reading will appear on the LCD simultaneously. The minimum measurement time until the signaling tone (beep) must be maintained without exception. The measurement continues even after the buzzer notification. So that in order to achieve better body temperature measurement results, recommend to keep the probe in the mouth and rectum for about 2 minutes, or in the armpit for about 5 minutes regardless of the beep sound and at least 30 seconds measurement interval should be maintained.
   *Note: Normally the buzzes are ” Bi-Bi-Bi- Bi-“; Alarm beeps more rapidly when the temperature reaches 100°F (37.8°C) or higher, and the buzzes are “Ri-Ri-Ri Ri-Ri-Ri Bi-Bi-Bi”
4. To prolong battery life, press the On/Off Button to turn the unit off after testing is complete. If no action is taken, the unit will automatically shut off after around 10 minutes.
