Shaking Food
Cooking Guide
How to Shake
• During cooking, take the basket out of
the oven and shake, mix, or flip the food.
A. To shake food:
1. Hold the basket just above a
heat-resistant surface for safety
purposes.
2. Shake the basket.
B. If the basket is too heavy to shake:
1. Place the basket on a heat-resistant
holder or surface.
2. Carefully shake the basket.
Overfilling
• If the basket is overfilled, food will cook
unevenly.
• Food should not be filled over the “MAX”
line in the basket. Do not pack in food.
Using Oil
• Adding a small amount of oil to your
food will make it crispier. Use no more
than 2 US tbsp / 30 mL of oil.
• Oil sprays are excellent for applying small
amounts of oil evenly to all food items.
What to Shake
• Small foods that are stacked, such as fries
or nuggets, will usually need shaking.
• 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.
• Certain functions use a Shake Reminder
(see Cooking Functions Quick
Reference Charts, page 13).
Shake Reminder
• The Shake Reminder will alert you with
5 beeps, and “(Shake)” will blink on the
display. This will repeat every 60 seconds
until you open the oven door to shake
food or press SHAKE to remove the
Shake Reminder.
C. If the basket is too heavy to shake and
there are hot liquids present:
1. Place the basket on a heat-resistant
holder or surface.
2. Use tongs to mix or flip the food.
• When you open the oven door, the oven
display will show “OPEN” and the oven
will pause cooking automatically. You
will not be able to press
to continue
cooking until the door is closed.
• When you replace the basket and close
the door, cooking will automatically
resume.
• Avoid shaking longer than 30 seconds,
as the oven may start to cool down.
