Just like an oven, your air fryer needs to warm up. Use the dual knob operation on the model to set the right temperature and give it 3-5 minutes to preheat. This ensures even cooking.

The 3D three-dimensional hot air baking system works best when food is turned. While the 1500W power ensures thorough cooking, shaking the basket halfway through helps achieve uniform crispiness on all sides.

While air fryers need less oil, a light coating helps achieve better browning. The non-stick coating basket in the Haier model needs just a light spray or brush of oil for optimal results and easy cleaning.

Each recipe needs specific heat. The Haier's adjustable temperature control lets you customize settings. Don't just guess - follow recommended temperatures for different foods to avoid under or overcooking.

The air fryer isn't designed for wet, drippy batters. When using the Haier's 5L basket, opt for dry coatings or modify wet batters to be thicker. This prevents mess and ensures better cooking results.

Don't just set and forget! While it offers a 12-hour appointment cooking, different foods need different times. Start with shorter intervals and check food to prevent burning until you learn timing.

While it handles various recipes, extremely fatty foods can create excessive smoke. Use the air fryer for healthier cooking options and ensure proper ventilation when cooking fattier items.

Even with the powerful 1500W heating system, always verify the internal temperature of meats. While it cooks efficiently, food safety should never be compromised - use a meat thermometer when needed.
