Initial Heating Settings

First HeatingManually set temperature and time195°C / 15min

After about 7 minutes, flip the food over and resume cooking for the remaining time. Check the core temperature when finished. Measure the core temperature at the thickest part and note the holding time. Transfer any items that meet the completion criteria to a clean plate. If the food does not meet the criteria, and provided there is no burning or other abnormalities, remove the temperature probe, return the food to the air fryer, and resume cooking for the remaining time originally set. If the food is still not done after the set time has elapsed, stop cooking and proceed to the final check. Do not resume cooking if the food has started to burn. If you notice smoke, an unusual odor, or an error message, stop the appliance immediately, discontinue use, and follow the instructions in the user manual.

If the food has not met the completion criteria after the initial heating, and there is no burning or other abnormality, perform only 1 additional heating step. If it still fails the recheck, do not eat it.manual195°C / 1min

Instructions for preheating, mid-cooking checks, and how to check for doneness are included in the preparation instructions.

Butterfly the chicken breasts thinly and season them. Return the chicken to the refrigerator while the air fryer is preheating.

Check Before Cooking
  • Slice open any thick sections and trim the entire piece so that it is no more than 20mm thick. Do not use this method for whole chicken thighs or those with the skin still on.
  • If using frozen meat, put it in a leakproof bag or container and thaw it thoroughly in the refrigerator, including the center. Once thawed, prepare and cook it immediately. Do not thaw it at room temperature.
  • Attach the Crisp plate and arrange the ingredients in a single layer without stacking them. If they do not fit, do not start heating; proceed to the “Arrangement” section in the conditions. The 4.7L specification does not indicate a maximum food weight limit.
  • The instructions call for preparing the unit while it is cool, preheating it to 195℃ using the “Preheat” function, and then adding the ingredients. The standard preheating time for this temperature is 3 minutes.
  • Do not place food or paper inside while the appliance is preheating. Do not use the water-addition mode, and do not let water, oil, or sauce accumulate in the basket. Ensure proper ventilation of the plate.
  • Cover ingredients that will be used later and refrigerate them.
  • Have a food-grade internal thermometer ready. Do not rely solely on the initial cooking time, surface color, meat juices, or photographs to determine whether the food is cooked through.
  • Before heating, arrange the specified amount for one batch in a single layer with gaps, and check that everything fits. If it does not fit, do not start; choose an official procedure for the same model that matches the amount and thickness. Do not split it into batches while keeping the original time or scale the time in proportion to the weight.
  • If you pull out the basket while holding down the basket release button, the heating and timer will pause. Place the basket on a trivet to check it; when you return it, the cycle will automatically resume. To stop the cycle while it is running, press the Start/Pause button. Remove the food once it is ready; if it is not yet ready but shows signs of burning or other abnormalities, do not return the basket to resume the cycle.
  • Using a food thermometer and a timer, ensure that the center of the thickest part of each ingredient remains at 75℃ or higher for at least 1 continuous minute. Do not place the tip against bones, and measure vegetables that have come into contact with raw meat under the same conditions. Remove standard thermometers before reheating, and clean them after each measurement.

  1. 01

    Make sure the meat is all the same thickness

    Do not wash the chicken breast; simply pat it dry, then use a knife to cut horizontally and open up the thicker sections. Sprinkle with salt and lightly brush the surface with rice bran oil. Once prepared, refrigerate until the oven is preheated.

  2. 02

    Make the finishing sauce

    In a small bowl that has not come into contact with raw meat, mix together lemon juice, olive oil, black pepper, and dried parsley. Do not use this mixture as a marinade for raw meat.

  3. 03

    Preheat the unit

    Properly attach the Crisp plate to the basket and return it to the unit without adding any food. Select “Preheat,” set the temperature to 195℃, and start the cycle. Wait for the 3-minute preheat cycle—which is set automatically—to complete. Prepare a heat-resistant surface where you can place the hot basket.

  4. 04

    Arrange them in a single layer and heat manually.

    Once preheating is complete, remove the basket and arrange the ingredients on the tray with space between them, avoiding overlapping. Return the basket to the unit, manually set the temperature to 195℃ and the time to 15 minutes, and start the cycle. Do not use the preset’s default time. After approximately 7 minutes, flip the ingredients and resume cooking for the remaining time. To check on the food during cooking, follow the “Completed,” “Not Completed,” or “Abnormal” indicators in the cooking stage section, and use the controls in the conditions section to stop or resume the process.

  5. 05

    Check the core temperature and holding time

    Once cooking is complete, select several thick pieces and insert a clean food thermometer from the side toward the center to take the temperature. If there are bones, do not let the tip touch them. Verify that the center temperature remains at 75℃ or higher continuously for at least 1 minute. Simply reaching 75℃ once is not sufficient to confirm the holding time. Do not consider the dish done based on color or photos alone.

  6. 06

    Verify the completion criteria

    If the meat does not meet the doneness criteria, stop cooking and proceed to the final check. If the surface begins to burn, stop cooking; if the center does not meet the doneness criteria, proceed to the final check. Slice the meat—after confirming it is cooked through—on a clean cutting board and drizzle with the lemon sauce prepared separately.

    What to check if the food is not yet done

    If the core temperature of the chicken breast and the holding time do not meet the completion criteria, stop cooking and do not eat it. If you cannot confirm settings for 220g of skinless chicken breast (maximum thickness 20mm, starting from refrigerated) in the official instructions or product labeling in the “References” section, do not repeat the heating process based on guesswork. Do not refrigerate the chicken breast while it is still cooking and finish cooking it at a later date.

    Discuss these instructions

Check the results

Make sure the center reaches at least 75℃ and remains at that temperature for at least 1 minute before eating. Browning is only a supplementary check of texture.

If you get stuck along the way

The surface dries out

Stop heating once the center is cooked through. Next time, ensure the thickness is uniform, and record the temperature and cooking time to make adjustments.

I want to double the amount of meat

If the food does not fit, do not begin cooking; proceed to the “Placement” section in the “Conditions” tab. Do not double the cooking time; when finished, check the core temperature and let it rest for the specified time.

The original source does not specify a thickness. The 220g, 20mm specification and the lemon sauce are my own design; reducing the thickness does not guarantee a safe cooking time.
