PowerXL Air Fryer Grill Instructions

Your PowerXL air fryer grill is the perfect appliance for rekindling the happiest dinner table memories and providing your family with healthier and more delicious meals.

To deliver that happiness for many years, you need to follow guidelines that ensure safety and well-cooked meals. 

Our top recommendation will be to get your user manual and read it entirely. Your appliance’s operation and safety precautions protect you and your loved ones. But if you cannot trace where you kept your PowerXL air fryer grill operator’s manual, you have this guide. 

Read every instruction with zeal to cook safely and prevent injuries in your home;

1. Do not leave any unknowledgeable person to use your air fryer grill, including your children, the mentally sick, or untrained persons.

Before you allow visitors or your domestic helpers to use your grill oven, train them first so that they will know the dos and don’ts of this appliance. Be ready to supervise your children or any other unknowledgeable person to prevent injuries and damage to your air fryer.

2. Keep your oven on a flat and stable surface. Your kitchen countertop is the ideal place to position your PowerXL air fryer grill. Ensure that the surface is heat resistant.

To protect your countertop from extreme heat, you can use silicon, hot pad, or wood mats under your PowerXL air fryer grill.

3. Electronic appliances are not water friendly. Keep your countertop surface dry by ensuring that it is not near the sink or a faucet. In addition, position your PowerXL grill on free space but not on top of other appliances like your refrigerator and microwave oven. Keep the top of your grill free of other items. 

4. Place your PowerXL air fryer away from the stovetop and other electric or gas burners. Operating your grill near an open fire poses a danger as the grill too generates extreme heat.

On the same note, ensure no hanging pieces of clothes like draperies and chats near your oven. They can catch fire and injuries and also cause heavy losses. 

5. Use your grill in a well-ventilated space. Operating your unit in enclosed spaces and cabinets can emit steam which damages cabinets and causes molds. Besides, the cabinet material could be combustible and ignite a fire.  

6. When not in use, ensure you unplug the oven from the electrical outlet. Wind the cord carefully so that it does not hang around. And also, when in use, secure the cable out of your way.

7. While cooking, use the knobs/handles to reduce the risk of burning. Stay away from your grill’s hot surface. Use your kitchen mitts to prevent burns when touching hot grill plates, trays, etc.

When emptying oil and food juices from the tray, watch out as hot spills can cause severe burns. Do not move your PowerXL air fryer while cooking. Hot liquids can spill on your skin.

8. Whenever you encounter a troubleshooting issue with your PowerXL air fryer and do not know how to resolve it, call the customer care desk for assistance. Their contacts are always at the back of the operation manual.

9. Clean your oven while not in use and after unplugging. Wait for the unit to cool down to prevent burns. Do not submerge your air fryer and its plugs in water. The electronic parts will get damaged. Only wash the accessories like the grill plate, racks, baskets, and mats.

Read your appliance’s operation manual to determine the dish-washable accessories and those that require handwashing.  

10. Your PowerXL air fryer grill does not require scouring with metal bands. The pads can damage the touch screen and other buttons. There are soft non-metallic scrubbers that will gently clean your unit without damage. 

11. Use your PowerXL air fryer grill professionally. The only way to do this is to the user only for its purpose. When you follow the instruction manual, your unit will last for many years on your countertop.

In addition, your warranty will be in place and come in handy if there are any manufacturer faults. You can use the guarantee to claim a new grill for such defects.

12. Take note of your PowerXL air fryer grill model to cook the right amount of food. Overloading will give you undone food. It can damage your oven’s food compartment if your force the basket in and cause a lot of spills.

13. Read the recipe procedures for your PowerXL air fryer. That will ensure that you do not cook too oily or juice foods. Air fryers will produce smoldering smoke if you use oil and water. 

14. Metal, glass, and some plastic utensils are not air fryer-friendly. Use the recommended utensils and accessories to minimize the risk of fire or electric shock. Keep an eye on the suitable material per your unit’s user manual.

Also, you cannot use cardboard and foil materials unless the recipe guidelines state so. Aluminum foils can cause overheating.
