Shaking Food
How to Shake
During cooking, take the baskets out of the air
fryer and shake, mix, or flip the food.
a.
To shake food:
1. For safety purposes, hold the
baskets just above a heat-resistant
surface. Do not press the basket
release button.
2. Shake the baskets.
b.
If the baskets are too heavy to shake:
1. Place the baskets on a heat-
resistant holder or surface.
2. Separate the baskets. Make sure
no liquids are dripping from the
inner basket.
3. Carefully shake the inner basket.
Note: Do not use this method if there is a risk of
hot liquids splashing.
c.
If the baskets are too heavy to
shake and there are hot liquids
present:
1. Place the baskets on a heat-
resistant holder or surface.
2. Use tongs to mix or flip the
food.
Note:
•
When you take the baskets out, the air
fryer will pause heating.
•
When you replace the baskets, heating will
automatically resume.
•
Avoid shaking longer than 30 seconds, as
the air fryer may start to cool down.
•
The timer will continue counting down
even when the baskets are taken out.

What to Shake
•
Small foods that are stacked will usually
need shaking, such as fries or nuggets.
•
Without shaking, foods may not be
crispy or evenly cooked.
•
You can flip other foods, such as steak,
to ensure even browning.
When to Shake
•
Shake or flip food once halfway through
cooking, or more if desired.
