Safety Precautions of Using the Air Fryer 360
These precautions are the safety tips you need to be aware of before you use your air fryer. They include:
- Keep the air fryer away from children and liquids. The heating element might constitute a fire hazard for kids. Liquids can destroy the heating element.
- Before preparing any meal with the air fryer, please read the Emeril Lagasse air fryer handbook carefully. Due to inexperience with this electric equipment, overheating might create unanticipated accidents.
- Do not touch the hot metal exterior or use a moist cloth on it. The air fryer has a unique handle that prevents burns from high temperatures.
- Please clean away any excess food components on the exterior before reusing the air fryer.
- Using a salt solution on the surface of your air fryer can cause material damage. Treat it like any other appliance. After cleaning, apply some oil to the surface to make it shine and seem new.
- Preheating the air fryer for around 15 minutes after turning it on will allow the heating elements to reach the proper temperature and prevent overheating.
- Check for water drops during operation and cease using them immediately if you find them. This is so that you can avoid electric shocks caused by the water evaporating into a gas during overheating.
- Although the appliance is water-resistant, never put your air fryer in the dishwasher after use. If you want to clean it quickly, wipe it down with a wet towel, but do not submerge it for more than 1 minute. If you wish to wash your air fryer in the dishwasher, make sure to consult the handbook to know if it is dishwasher-safe.
- Never place the air fryer in direct sunlight, as this will cause material damage. The sun’s heat will force the heating element to rise up to high temperatures, which can cause unintentional mishaps.
- After using your air fryer, turn off the switch at the rear of the machine and remove the plug from the power socket. Never pull the cords during operation since this may harm the cords or heating components.
- Keep in mind that dust and dirt will impair the capacity of your air fryer to generate hot air quickly if left unchecked.
Initial Test for your Emeril Lagasse Air Fryer 360
If this is your first time using an Emeril Air Fryer, you should know that the air fryer will arrive half-charged, allowing you to test it without waiting for a complete charge.
To finish the initial setup and start cooking:
- Insert two skewers into the slots in the fryer basket stand to improve airflow.
- Remove the cap from the oil cup and fill the fryer bowl to the maximum fill line. Replace the cap securely to prevent leaks while cooking. Set aside once oiled.
- Plug in your Power Air Fryer 360 to a conventional wall socket or surge protector and turn it on.
- Wait until the Power Air Fryer 360’s power button turns solid blue and starts flashing before adding food.
You can test it by doing two things:
First, click the power button once in the center. Doing so will display a white light surrounding the power button and show the remaining cooking cycle duration in minutes or seconds.
Simply alternate tapping the power button’s center until this happens.
Second, make sure the little light under “Ready” is solid green. Not to be confused with the “Preheat” light, which remains red throughout most of the preheating procedure (and then turns off once ready).
If everything else fails, unplug and re-plug the Air fryer to reset the fryer/power outlet connection. If you still have troubles, please contact customer care.
To turn off your Power Air Fryer 360, either select “Cancel”/”Off” on the appliance or just push and release the center of the power button while cooking to stop a cycle.
How to Use the Emeril Lagasse Air Fryer 360
Using the Emeril Lagasse Air Fryer is very easy and does not require too much stress. First, put the food into the oiled fry basket, dish, or pan.
Close the cover and adjust the Temperature for your food type. Thick foods take longer to cook than thin foods or foods sliced into similar shapes.
You can check internal temperatures with an accurate thermometer inserted deep into the center of the thickest part, taking care not to hit the bone if using white meat poultry.
The oven will chime and display “On,” indicating that the timer has started counting down. When the cooking time is up, the oven will beep and display “End.”
If applicable, carefully flip the dish halfway through cooking. For even frying, rotate your Air Fryer’s pan or basket.
Remove cooked food from the Air Fryer by carefully pulling it out of the fry basket with tongs.
