Instructions for Use

Before First Use

• Remove all the packaging material.
• Remove any stickers or labels from the Unit.
• Before initial use, wipe the inside and outside of the Unit with a warm, moist cloth and mild detergent. Handwash all cooking accessories.
• Before cooking food, preheat the Power AirFryer XL for a few minutes to allow the Unit to burn off the manufacturer’s protective coating of oil. Wipe the Unit with warm, soapy water and a washcloth after this burn-in cycle.
• Place the Unit on a stable, horizontal, and level surface. Do not place the Unit on a surface that is not heat resistant. Ensure that the Unit is used in an area with good air circulation and away from hot surfaces and any combustible materials. Do not place on the stove top.
• Place the Fry Tray in the Outer Basket. Slide the Outer Basket into the Unit. If the Basket is placed properly, it will click into place.
• The Power AirFryer XL cooks using hot air. Do not fill the Outer Basket with oil or frying fat.

   are cooking.
7. When the timer beeps five times, the set cooking time has elapsed. Pull the Outer Basket out of the Unit and place it on a heat-resistant surface.
8. If the food is fully cooked, use tongs to remove food. CAUTION: Do not turn the Outer Basket upside down because any excess oil that has collected on the bottom of the basket will leak onto the ingredients.
9. If the food is not fully cooked, simply slide the Outer Basket back into the Unit and add a few minutes to the cooking time.
10. The Unit is instantly ready for preparing another batch.

Instructions for Use

Shaking

To ensure even cooking, some foods require shaking during the cooking process. Remove the Outer Basket from the Unit. Gently shake the contents as needed and place them back in the Unit to continue cooking.

CAUTION: The Outer Basket will be hot. Wear an oven mitt during this procedure.

1. Place the Outer Basket on a heat-resistant surface.
2. Shake the ingredients in the Basket.
3. Return the Outer Basket to the Unit to finish cooking.

Tips

• Foods that are smaller in size usually require a slightly shorter cooking time than larger foods.
• Large quantities of food only require a longer cooking time than smaller quantities.
• Shaking smaller-sized foods halfway through the cooking process ensures that all the pieces are fried evenly.
• Adding a bit of vegetable oil to fresh potatoes is suggested for a crispier result. When adding oil, do so just before cooking and add only a small amount onto the potato.
• Snacks normally cooked in an oven can also be cooked in the Power AirFryer XL.
• Use premade dough to prepare filled snacks quickly and easily. Premade dough also requires a shorter cooking time thanhomemade dough.
• You can use the Power AirFryer XL to reheatfoods. Simply set the temperature and time to however warm you want your food.

  with warm, soapy water.
• Wipe the inside and outside of the Base Unit with a clean, moist cloth. NEVER wash or submerge the Heating Element, Electric Fan, or Base Unit in water or liquid of any kind.
• Finally, heat up Unit for a few minutes to burn off any residue.

Using the Power XL Smokeless Grill

2. Assemble the Unit as shown on page 6.
3. Add about 2 cups water to the Collection Pan.
4. Leave ample air space on all sides of the Unit to facilitate air flow.
5. Plug the Power Cord into a dedicated outlet.

8. Select the cooking temperature, add the food, put the Lid* in place, and grill to your personal taste. Turn the food as needed.

• Cooking with the Lid on the Unit is recommended because it maintains the cooking temperature, seals in flavor, and prevents splatter.

CAUTION: The glass lid and handle get very hot. Always use oven mitts.

Removing the Electric Fan

If you are thoroughly cleaning the Base Unit with water and detergents, remove the Electric Fan. When reinserting the Fan, make sure to insert the two-prong connection into the receptacle.
CAUTION: Unplug Unit before removing fan. Fan blades are sharp; use care when removing and reinserting.

Switching Out the Grill and Griddle Plates

To remove the Grill Plate or Griddle Plate from the Power XL Smokeless Grill, use two hands to hold the two metal handles on each side of the Plate. Pull straight upward to remove the Plate from the Power XL Smokeless Grill.

NOTE: If the Power XL Smokeless Grill was recently used to cook food, the Plate and its handles will be hot. Use oven mitts to handle the Plate.

To attach the new Plate, use two hands to hold the two metal hands on each side of the Plate. Lay the Plate evenly on top of the Heating Element and let go of the handles.

Tips

• Be careful not to transfer germs from raw meat to cooked meat. Use separate utensils and platters for raw and cooked meat.
• Always marinade in a tightly covered nonmetal dish and turn the food occasionally. Be sure to refrigerate all meats while marinating.
• If leftover wet marinade is to be used as a sauce with the cooked food, be sure to place it in a small pan and heat to a rolling boil before serving to eliminate bacterial growth.
• Similar to a stove top frying pan, grease from high-fat foods, such as bacon or sausage, may splatter on the countertop. Protect the countertop as necessary.
• Before grilling, partially cook bone-in chicken, ribs, and uncooked smoked or fresh sausages for best results. If not partially cooked, these meats may become overbrowned on the outside before the center is done.
• To prevent scratching the coating, use only nonmetallic utensils. Do not cut food on the Grill Plate using sharp utensils, such as forks or knives, that can scratch the cooking surface.
• Do not use steel wool or other metal pads. They could leave coarse scratches. Always rinse thoroughly and dry immediately with a soft towel.

Cooking Chart

• Use a meat thermometer to check internal meat temperature.
• Cooking times are suggested and will vary depending on the thickness of the food and personal preferences. Foods can be grilled at maximum temperature. However, you may wish to reduce the temperature for certain items. Low temperatures will keep foods warm once cooked.

Troubleshooting

If Your Unit Is Not Working Properly: 

• Make sure the Power Cord is plugged into an electrical socket.
• Make sure the Power Cord is properly connected to the Heating Element.
• Make sure you have set the temperature higher than 120° F.
• The Unit may not be able to draw enough operating power from the outlet.
  Try switching the Power Cord to an outlet that has no other appliances attached to it.
• If food is undercooked or overcooked, change the cooking time and temperature accordingly.
• If the Electric Fan is not working, the assembly may not be fully connected. Disassemble the Unit and reattach the Fan component. Follow instructions on page 8.

Care & Cleaning

• Before cleaning, be sure to unplug the cord from the outlet. If necessary, wipe the cord with a damp cloth.
• Allow the appliance to cool completely before cleaning. The Grill Plate, Drip Tray, Collection Pan, and Glass Lid can be placed in the bottom rack of the dishwasher or washed by hand. The Base Unit can be washed by hand with a warm, damp cloth and mild cleaning liquid. For more thorough cleaning of the Base Unit, remove the Electric Fan.
• Always be sure to wash the Grill surface after each use to remove any grease that may have accumulated. To keep grease from dripping outside of the base, always ensure that you are using your Grill on a level surface and that the Drip Tray is completely clear of food particles.
• Do not use scouring pads or harsh cleaners on this unit. If necessary, use a nylon bristle brush or plastic scrubbing pad.
• Any other servicing should be performed by an authorized service representative
