• Do not overfill the frying basket with food. NEVER fill any frying basket more than 2/3 full. When air frying
  fresh vegetables, we do not recommend adding more than 3 cups of food to the frying basket.
• For best results, some foods need to be shaken vigorously or turned over during the air fry time.
  Consult the Air Frying Chart following as a general guide.
• To avoid excess smoke, when cooking naturally high-fat foods, such as chicken wings or sausages, it
  may be necessary to empty fat from the frying basket drawer between batches.
• Always pat food dry before cooking to encourage browning and avoid excess smoke.
• Air fry small batches of freshly breaded foods. Press breading onto food to help it adhere. Arrange
  in the frying basket so that food is not touching to allow airflow on all surfaces.

AIR FRYING CHART

WARNING! ALWAYS USE A MEAT THERMOMETER TO ENSURE THAT MEAT, POULTRY AND FISH ARE
COOKED THOROUGHLY BEFORE EATING. The following chart is intended as a guide only. The quantity of
food air fried at one time, the thickness or density of the food, and whether the food is fresh, thawed, or
frozen may alter the total cooking time necessary.

1. To ensure even cooking/browning, open the frying basket drawer halfway through the cooking time. Check, turn, or vigorously shake foods in the frying basket. This chart lists the average total air frying time,
   the time at which some action is required, and what action is to be taken for best results.
2. Remember, frying smaller batches will result in shorter cooking times and higher food quality. Adjust air frying temperatures and times as necessary to suit your taste.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Unless food is pre-packaged and pre-oiled, for browned and crispy results, all foods
should be lightly oiled before air frying.

• Oil may be sprayed or brushed onto foods.
• Spray oils work well as oil is evenly distributed and smaller quantities of oil are needed.
• To ensure crispy results, make sure foods are dried before adding oil.
• Cut pieces smaller to create more surface area for crispier results.
• Blanching is a term that refers to pre-cooking foods at a lower temperature before the final air fry.
• Add 3 minutes to the AIR FRY TIME to allow the Air Fryer to preheat.

FAQs

What is the Orbegozo FDR 24 Professional Air Fryer used for?

The Orbegozo FDR 24 Professional Air Fryer is a high-capacity, oil-free cooking device that fries, grills, bakes, or roasts food using quick hot air circulation. It uses up to 80% less fat than conventional frying techniques while still producing crispy results.

How does the air fryer work?

Using Rapid Air Technology, this air fryer quickly circulates hot air over your meal. It produces crispy, evenly cooked food with little to no oil, which makes it a healthier option than deep-frying.

What is the capacity of the Orbegozo FDR 24?

The 2.4-liter cooking basket that the Orbegozo FDR 24 normally comes with is perfect for two to three servings of baked items, chicken, fries, or veggies. It’s ideal for fast meals or small homes.

Does it need preheating?

Although it’s not always required, run the air fryer empty for three to five minutes before adding food for crispier results.

Is the air fryer noisy during operation?

Like a tiny oven, the fan does provide a low buzzing sound as hot air circulates. This is typical and shows that the device is operating correctly.

Can I open the basket while cooking?

Indeed! In order to inspect or shake your food, you can remove the basket in the middle of the cycle. When the basket is put back in, the heating automatically stops and starts again.

How do I prevent food from sticking to the basket?

Before cooking, lightly mist the basket or meal with a little oil spray. Use pure oil misters instead of cooking sprays that contain additional propellants.

Can I bake or roast in the air fryer?

Of course! In essence, the Orbegozo FDR 24 is a miniature convection oven that can roast vegetables or tiny slices of meat in addition to baking cakes, muffins, and pastries.
