(Tip: The accessories can also be cleaned in the dishwasher)
• Wipe the inside and outside of the Air Fryer with a dry cloth. Note: The Air Fryer may make some smoke or slight odor the first time you use it. This is normal. Ensure the heating element and fan inside the Air Fryer are both clean and clear from any obstructions.
  Note: This Air Fryer must only be used with the Drip Tray securely inside the appliance.
  Do not attempt to use the Air Fryer without the Drip Tray securely inside the unit first. If using the Grill Racks, the Drip Tray must be used to catch excess oil and grease and protect the heating element at the bottom.

CAUTION

• Some parts of the Air Fryer are extremely hot during operation such as the exterior, interior, trays, and all accessories. Do not touch hot surfaces, parts, accessories, interior or exterior while cooking. Use a heat-resistant oven glove instead of touching the Air Fryer or its accessories directly to avoid bodily injury.
• The Air Fryer contains both electronic and heating elements. To avoid electrical shock, do not immerse the power cord, plug, or housing in water or put them under the tap during cleaning.
• Prevent any water or other liquids from entering the Air Fryer.
• Do not cover the air ventilation inlet and air outlet of the Air Fryer while it’s in use.
• During cooking, hot steam is released from the air outlet openings. Be sure to keep your hands, face, and all other body parts away to avoid injury. Also, be careful of hot steam and air you open the Door or remove the accessories, Rolling Cage, Racks or Rotisserie Skewer.
• Do not fill the Frying Basket or internal chamber of the Air Fryer with oil or fat as this may cause a fire hazard. The appliance uses hot air to cook.
• Always allow the Air Fryer and all parts and accessories to cool down completely before handling or cleaning.
• Do not clean with metal scouring pads or abrasive sponges and materials.
• To prevent a fire, be sure to keep the Air Fryer away from all flammable materials, such as curtains, drapes, tablecloths, cloth, wallpapers, and walls.

First use the Rotisserie Handle to lift the left side of the Rotisserie Skewer upward and pull the left side outward and downward out of the slot. Then take out the right end of the Skewer from it’s notch on the right side of the Air Fryer’s interior.

Cooking Using Rolling Cage

1. Open the Rolling Cage’s door on its Right side by compressing the latch and pulling it out.
2. Load the Rolling Cage with your ingredients, being sure not to overcrowd the Cage with too much, and allow plenty airflow.
3. Close the Rolling Cage’s door completely, making sure the latch is securely locking the door
4. Looking at the L (Left) and R (Right) markings on the Cage, place the Left side into the Left slot of the Air Fryer, then the Right side into the Right slot of the Air Fryer. You’ll notice that the Left slot is the one that rotates the Cage so it’s easiest to place that first, as then the Right side will easily slide into the Right slot.
   Tip: If there’s any difficulty securing the Cage into the slots, simply rotate the Cage until it fits in securely.
5. Set the time and temperature to the desired amounts, then press the Rotate button on the touchscreen. The Rotate button will flash when this feature is enabled.
6. Press the Start/Stop button to begin cooking and the machine will start to heat up while your Rolling Cage begins to rotate. Tip: If for some reason the Rolling Cage isn’t rotating, safely lift the Rolling Cage out of the Air Fryer using the Handle and place it back in, ensure the Left and Right sides are correct, and both ends are sitting securely in each slot.

Removing Rolling Cage
With caution and oven gloves, slide the Handle underneath each side of the Rolling Cage and us the Handle to lift the Right side of the Rollling Care upward and pull the Right side out. Next, safely do the same with the Left side of the Rolling Cage.
CAUTION: Please keep in mind that the Air Fryer, and the heating elements are inner chamber gets very hot. When using the Rolling Cage, Handle, or any accessory, exercise extreme caution to prevent bodily injury.
CAUTION: Allow the Rolling Cage to cool down completely, as it will still be very hot from cooking.

Cooking Using the Grill Rack

1. The included Grill Rack can conveniently cook a variety of foods. When using, always be sure to use the Drip Tray at lowest possible slot to catch excess oil.
2. After placing the Drip Tray to catch excess grease if needed, slide the cooking racks or trays at the next lowest available position in the Air Fryer and slide each securely and completely into the unit. The Mesh Tray can be used for cooking or dehydrating fruits and vegetables, while the Grill Rack can be used for meats, toasting bread, reheating food, and more. The Multipurpose Trays can be used for pizzas, desserts, as a drip tray, and a multitude of other ingredients.

Tip: As two Multipurpose Trays are included, we suggest using one for cooking and reserve the other as a dedicated Drip Tray.
Tip: When cooking using 2 trays, you may use a heat-resistant oven glove to switch the position of the trays midway through cooking for more even results. We do not recommend cooking with more than 2 trays at once.
Tip: When cooking using 2 slots, the higher rack will cook more quickly than the lower tray. Keep this in mind while cooking and also be sure not to overcrowd the higher rack, as this will block some airflow.
Note: The Drip Tray and Frying Basket protects the heating element at the bottom of the inner chamber and catches excess oil, fat, and grease that drips down. Do not operate the Air Fryer without the Drip Tray or Frying Basket underneath your food to catch this dripping oil.

Note: Please keep in mind that these are general guidelines. Your ingredients my differ in size or thickness so we can’t guaranty the best settings for your specific ingredients. Please keep an eye on your food while cooking to insure the best results for you.

Dehydration

You can use your Aria Air Fryer to dehydrate and preserve your favorite fruits, vegetables, and meats conveniently at home, using your own ingredients that you trust. Make delicious fruit and vegetable snacks, create meat jerky, dry herbs, and more that you can store for later!

Tips for Best Results

1. Be sure to consistently cut the fruits and vegetables as thin as possible, using a mandolin slicer if necessary.
2. To maintain the white color of fruits like apples, we recommend that you soak the slices for at least 5 minutes in water with a bit of lemon juice to prevent the oxidization process.
3. To ensure maximum air flow, do not overlap any pieces.
4. Be sure to pat dry fruits and vegeta-bles before dehydration.
5. Please be cautious that setting the time or temperature too high (please use the general guidelines below) may lead to your ingredients will not dehydrating properly, and moisture may be sealed inside your food.

Note: Your foods’ ripeness, source, and thickness will all affect the dehydration time, crunchiness, and chewiness – so please always check on your food during the cooking process to ensure it comes out just how you love it
