INTRODUCTION

Appliance that tops all ovens, stove tops and microwaves.

Traditional frying and cooking - reinvented. Introducing BIG BOSS™ Digital Oil-Less Fryer, the energy efficient tabletop cooker that combines conduction heat, convection & infrared technology leaving foods moist on the inside & browned & crispy on the outside without the use of added fats or oils.

Triple Cooking Power: Conduction, Convection & Infrared Heat

Prepares Crispy Fried Foods With Little Or No Oil

Features 8 presets for hassle-free cooking

Quickly Cooks From Frozen, No Thawing Time Needed

Mesh Basket & 2 Racks Cook Multiple Foods At The Same Time

Uses Less Energy, Cooking Up To 3x Faster

Three cooking elements working in uniform. Conduction directly heats the surface of the food for browning, roasting & flavor.

Convection circulates the hot air, evenly distributing the heat for faster cooking. Gentle infrared heat cooks food from inside out, sealing in juices. Air Fry chicken and fish, stir fry veggies, roast turkey, broil steaks, grill meats, toast breads, steam vegetables and even make dessert - all without preheating or defrosting. The all digital control panel offers 8 presets that will guide you in the cooking process and make it much easier to operate. The glass dome allows you to see the cooking process. The lid’s tight seal keeps hot air inside, so the

BIG BOSS™ Digital Oil-Less Fryer will not heat up your kitchen. Includes extender ring for more capacity, mesh basket, sprayer and 2 cooking racks (low and high) so you can prepare a whole meal at once.

USAGE-BASICS

(Refer to p. 6 for Parts Identification)

PRIOR TO USE: IMPORTANT:

- Place the unit on a stable, heat-proof surface and make sure it is not near the edge of the table or countertop.

- Make sure that the power cord is not touching any hot surface.

- Always have enough space around the unit, so there is enough for cover when removed from the unit.

- Make sure you’ve placed the cooking racks/mesh basket inside the glass bowl prior to pre-heating and/or cooking.

- Always have the oven mitts ready to remove the lid and cooked food.

- You may use any oven safe pans, plates, tin foil, etc. that can be used inside the conventional oven.

ASSEMBLY-PLACING FOOD IN UNIT:

1. Open the glass lid and place the cooking racks inside, use one or both racks, depending on the amount of food. Refer to Suggested Cooking Times table (pp.11-15) and recipe book for more info.

2. Place food to be cooked directly on rack or Mesh Basket (included). This will allow the hot air to circulate around the food to be able to cook it faster and more even. When air frying foods like french fries, onion rings, chicken or fish, use the Mesh Basket. See Diagram on right. Place the Mesh Basket either on top of the lower or higher cooking rack. Refer to Suggested Cooking

Times table (pp.11-15) and recipe book for more info.

NOTE: Although no oil is necessary to air fry food using this unit, you have an option to use a

Sprayer (included). Just fill it with your choice of oil. Then spray it lightly over the food prior to cooking (1 to 3 sprays).

3. You can increase the capacity of your BIG BOSS™ Digital Oil-Less Fryer when cooking large foods such as a turkey (up to about 16 lb.). Your BIG BOSS™ Digital Oil-Less Fryer comes with the Extender Ring that you can place on top of the glass bowl.

4. Just place the flat part of the extender ring over the glass bowl’s lip. The extender has its own lip that will create a perfect seal with the unit’s lid. See Diagrams on right.

This will activate the safety feature and turn the unit off. The unit will be very hot. If using extender ring, be extra careful as it will get very hot during cooking process. It is strongly recommended to use oven mitts when removing the glass lid.

13. When done checking, lower the handle until it snaps in. If the handle is not lowered properly, the unit will not operate.

Press the Power button to resume the operation.

14. If at any time you need to turn the unit off before the timer is up, simply press the Start/Stop button.

NOTE: Unit's conduction lamp will turn off immediately once timer counts down to 0:00, while the fan will stay on to allow the unit to cool off (approx. 1-3 min). Remove the lid. Check to make sure the food is fully cooked.

NOTE: To ensure the food is cooked, use a cooking thermometer or pierce the food with a fork to check for uncooked juices on meats and poultry. When cooking vegetables, check for desired tenderness. Moisture may build up inside the unit when cooked food is not removed soon after timer has gone off. The steam/moisture build-up can be avoided by removing the food as soon as it is cooked.

16. Use the tongs provided to lift out the hot cooking racks with food. See Diagram on right.

DEHYDRATING YOUR FRUITS, VEGETABLES AND HERBS

1. Wash the fruit or vegetables you are using and dry them. Peel the skin, if you prefer.

2. Using a sharp knife, make slices about 1 /

16 th of an inch. If using soft fruits like bananas or any other soft fruit, briefly place it in the freezer so it can harden. That will make the slicing much easier.

3. Place fruit slices in a lemon juice solution of ½ cup water with ½ cup lemon juice for 10 minutes. When soaking banana slices, soak only for 5 minutes. Do not soak vegetables.

4. Place the high cooking rack in first, then place the Mesh Basket over it.

5. Place the slices close together (but not touching) in one layer. Do not stack one on top of the other.

6. Close the lid. Lower the handle until it snaps in. IMPORTANT: Make sure that the handle is down and completely flat

(you will hear a click when the handle is in closed position) before you use set time or temperature. If the handle is not completely flat, you will not be able to operate the Digital Oil-Less Fryer.

7. Choose the THAW/WASH/DEHYDRATE preset. Refer to individual cooking times on p.14-15. If you need to adjust the temperature or time, simply press “+” or “-” buttons to change the temperature (changes in 5 °F increments for range of 120 °F - 480 °F ) or time

(changes in 1 minute increments for range of 1 min - 1 hour 59 minutes). To go back, just press the same preset again.

8. Press the Power button to turn on the unit.

9. It is recommended to check on the food every 15 minutes or so. Simply lift the handle up to turn the unit off. When done checking-lower the handle until it snaps in. Press the Power button to restart the unit.

10. Most fruit will be pliable or leathery when done (you can bend it and it won’t break). To check - tear a piece of dried fruit in half and if no moisture beads up on the inside and there is no stickiness on the outside, it’s done.

PRE-HEATING

NOTE: Make sure to insert the trays/mesh basket inside the unit prior to pre-heating. If pre-heating is required, use the “+” or “-” buttons next to the time LED window (top window) to set the time to 10 minutes (1 minute increments). Set the temperature according to the recipe.

CAUTION: Before removing the glass lid always bring the handle to its upright position. This will activate the safety feature and turn the unit off. The unit will be very hot. If using extender ring, be extra careful as it will get very hot during cooking process. It is strongly recommended to use oven mitts when removing the glass lid.

Follow the usage directions on pp. 7-10 for complete instructions.

THAWING

Although you can cook from frozen using this unit, we offer you an option to thaw frozen foods. This way it is done in most efficient way without changing the quality or texture of the food.

ADAPTING RECIPES:

You can try your favorite recipe that is intended for conventional oven or fryer. Keep the cooking temperature the same, just reduce the cooking time, as it will cook much faster in this unit. You may use a meat thermometer to make sure the food is cooked.

Refer to Internal Food Temperature guide below.

Internal Food Temperatures Guide

When cooking poultry, always cook to the internal temperature of 170-180ºF. Another sign for cooked poultry is when the juices run clear. Fish is done when it looks opaque and flakes easily with a fork. Shellfish such as shrimp, crab, or lobster will turn reddish pink on the outside and opaque on the inside.

You may also refer to the markings on your meat thermometer.

CLEANING AND CARE

Make sure you turn off and unplug the unit before cleaning it. Always wait until the unit cools down completely.

Thoroughly wash the glass bowl, plastic base, extender ring, cooking racks, mesh basket, tongs and sprayer in hot soapy water and allow to dry completely. You may also place the glass bowl and cooking racks into the dishwasher.

When washing cooking racks, do not soak them in water for long periods of time. Once washed, do not let air dry; dry racks thoroughly with cloth or paper towel. This will preserve the surface and will extend the life of the cooking racks.

WARNING: Do not immerse the lid, cord, or plug in water or any other liquid. Do not use abrasive cleansers. Do not place glass lid into the dishwasher.

Once unplugged from the power outlet, the surface of the glass lid can be carefully wiped clean using a damp cloth or sponge.

All parts must be dry before next use. When storing the unit, always make sure ALL parts are DRY, to avoid any moisture collecting in the lid.

SELF CLEANING OF GLASS BOWL

If the food particles seem to be stuck to the bottom and/or sides of the glass bowl, you can perform a self cleaning.

1. Pour approximately 1 to 2 inches of water into the glass bowl, add a small amount of mild dishwashing liquid.

2. Place lid on and plug into the electrical outlet. Lower the handle until it snaps in. IMPORTANT: Make sure that the handle is down and completely flat (you will hear a click when the handle is in closed position) before you use set time or temperature. If the handle is not completely flat, you will not be able to operate the Digital Oil-Less Fryer.

3. Press the THAW/WASH/DEHYDRATE preset button. The Time and Temperature will display automatically. Once the preset button is pressed, change the cooking time to 10 min using the adjustment buttons (+/-), leave the temperature setting as is (260°F)

4. When the timer on LED display counts down to 0:00, the oven will beep several times and will turn off automatically.

NOTE: Unit's conduction lamp will turn off immediately once timer counts down to 0:00, while the fan will stay on to allow the unit to cool off (approx. 1-3 min). Carefully open the lid and wait for the glass bowl to cool down before emptying the liquid inside.

5. Rinse the glass bowl in clean warm water to remove the soap residue.
