NOTE
• No preheating is required when using the Air Fry
mode.
• If cooking multiple batches, the later batches
may take less time to cook.
• Wet batters and coatings will not crisp or set
when using the Air Fry mode.
Tips for Air Fry
• For best results, use the provided air fry tray.
- The mesh section of the air fry tray can be
cleaned in a dishwasher.
a Air Fry Tray
b Standard Rack
• If you don't have the air fry tray, place food on a
wire rack inside a foil-lined cookie pan.
a Broiler Pan
• For best results, cook food on a single rack
placed in positions suggested in the chart in this
manual.
• The mesh section of the air fry tray can be
cleaned in a dishwasher.
• Spread the food out evenly in a single layer.
• Use either the optional air fry tray available from
LG or a dark baking tray with no sides or short
sides that does not cover the entire rack. This
allows for better air circulation.
• If desired, spray the baking tray or air fry tray
with a pan spray. Use an oil that can be heated to
a high temperature before smoking, such as
avocado, grapeseed, peanut or sunflower oil.
• Place a foil-lined baking tray on a rack in position
2 to catch the oil falling from the food. For high-
fat foods like chicken wings, add a few sheets of
parchment paper to absorb the fat.
• Check food often and shake it or turn it over for
crisper results.
• Prepared frozen foods may cook faster with the
Air Fry mode than stated on the package.
Reduce the cooking time by about 20 percent,
check food early, and adjust cooking time as
needed.
• Use a food thermometer to make sure food has
reached a safe temperature for consumption.
Eating undercooked meats can increase your
risk of food-borne illness.
• For the crispiest results, dredge fresh chicken
wings or tenders in seasoned flour. Use 1/3 cup
flour for 2 pounds.
Recommendations When Air Frying
High-Fat Foods
Foods high in fat will smoke when using the Air Fry
mode. For best results, follow these
recommendations when air frying foods that are
high in fat, such as chicken wings, bacon, sausage,
hot dogs, turkey legs, lamb chops, ribs, pork loin,
duck breasts, or some plant-based proteins.
CAUTION
• Never cover slots, holes, or passages in the oven
bottom or cover entire racks with materials such
as aluminum foil. Doing so blocks airflow
through the oven and can result in carbon
monoxide poisoning. Aluminum foil can also
trap heat, causing a fire hazard or poor oven
performance.
• Turn on your exhaust hood at a high fan setting
before you start Air Fry and leave it on for 15
minutes after you're done.
• Open a window or sliding glass door, if possible,
to make sure the kitchen is well-ventilated.
• Clean the grease filters on your exhaust hood
regularly.
• Keep the oven free from grease buildup. Wipe
down the interior of the oven before and after
air frying (once the oven has cooled).
• Run oven cleaning cycles (Easy Clean or
SelfClean) regularly, depending on how often
and what types of food you Air Fry.
• Avoid opening the oven door more than
necessary to help maintain the oven
temperature, prevent heat loss, and save
energy.
• Air-frying fresh chicken pieces such as wings or
drumsticks with the skin left on can produce
smoke as the fat renders at high temperatures.
If the smoke is excessive, use the Convection
Roast mode instead of Air Fry.
