- A lot of people are using their Air Fry Ranges incorrectly and are having issues like smoking and food burning. This video is for you if you have any questions about your Air Fry Range or you just want to learn how to use it properly. If you have any questions or problems with yours, please let me know in the comments below and I will try to answer all your questions ASAP!!
Thanks for making this video. I have been considering this range for the past two weeks but was scared due to the reviews and videos I've seen. I'm sold now. Frigidaire should pay YOU. LOL.
No problem!! Trying to help people have the best experience!! Stay safe and healthy!! 👍
I just purchased this range - burned up some frozen tater tots using the guide that came with air fryer rack but then saw in owners manual to use package directions - came out great. The instructions. are still a bit confusing tho - so far I like it
I can't even make frozen french fries with this exact set-up, 410 degree. Get too burned, cooks unevenly on airfry...
Where does oil go
@@mrberlin7777 All over the inside of the oven, apparently, lol. But I suspect a lot of people use too much of the stuff and/or fail to use parchment paper instead of aluminum foil in the drip pan they place on a lower oven rack to catch the portion of the oil that doesn't initially get blown everywhere by the convection fan.
Just wanted to put in my two bits in. I bought my Frigidaire Induction Range in 2022. My wife and I absolutely love it. I viewed this vid and thought "Oh God, this is going to be a disaster". I set up my air fryer according to the mfg.'s instructions and was ready to rock. I sprayed the rack with Pam and lined the drip pan with foil and parchment paper as advised by another poster. Crossed my fingers! My oven preheated in no time to 425. Did not use an oven temp guage. Popped my wings in and set the timer to 30 min. Kept an eye on it. Some smoke, but that was easily taken care of by my hood fan. Timer went off and I pulled the wings. Perfectly cooked. No grease mess on the interior. No 4 hours of cleaning afterwards. Me thinks Frigidaire has listened to the complaints. Happy Cooking!
Thank you for the video. We recently purchased an air fry range and appreciate the work you put into this. We also greatly enjoyed your accent and personality!
Thank you for all this information. I just got a new range and first time using the air fry. The way you explained was very throughout.
Thank you for demonstrating and explaining. This video really helped! Keep up the good work.
Excellent explanation. Thanks so much. I now feel able to air fry in my new Fridgidaire stove / air fryer function!
Have owned my Gallery Induction since April of this year. Never used "air fry" feature until yesterday. Eight bone-in skin on chicken thighs seasoned when dry were the target. Sprayed tray, placed food & put foil lined baking tray under. ThermoPro dual probe thermometer was used. Temp set to 375 on oven, probe alarm for 190. Started from cold with perfect result. Oven was a mess that steam clean could not touch. Used 3hr self clean and Bar Keeper Friend to clean window and baked on crud. Oven was spotless before air fry with 30min cleaning it was spotless after.
I have watched a lot of air frying videos, yours is the best. Thank You
Thank you! Looking at this range to purchase today! You sold me!
Just pulled the trigger on this same range. I should have it delivered in about 2 weeks. Thanks for the recommendation on the air-fry feature. I will use your recommendation to engage it in "clean mode" after initially installing the unit. I wouldn't have done this before viewing your vid. Can't wait to use the new oven!
Ummm. Frigidaire needs to HIRE you or cut you a check. You are so incredibly informative. I’m getting one because you eased my concern.
Great vid! I have been on the fence about purchasing for a few weeks and this video answered all of my concerns.
Awesome video, very informative!!
Thank you so much for this video! I tried the air fryer feature once a couple of years ago (smoked like crazy) and have not used it since. I will try again. This video was very informative!
Great concise summary. Thank you.
Thank you for taking the time to explain and offer good tips. It’s very much appreciated! ❤️
Hi and thanks so much for the video. I recently purchased this range and the first time I tried to use it, I thought gas was spewing out of the broiler. I’m running self clean now. I think that will solve the problem.
Bought this rexact stove last month and was afraid it was junk because it smoked every time. You're my hero...subscribed!
Hi, I'm thinking about buying this Frigidaire range in the next couple of days. Does your range still smoke every time you use it? Even on regular baking setting not just convection/air fry setting?? TIA
@@missoli100 The only setting I am unable to use without it smoking was Air frying simply because the fan basically blew grease onto the door and it would drip to the bottom. I corrected that by buying a Nordic ware cookie sheet---the one with deep sides and I bought yogi mats so I do not have to use any cooking sprays or anything at all. Occasionally I will still get some ( very little puff) but only for about the first 5 minutes and it clears. Plus I lowered the rack. In hindsight to be honest, I would pass and get the table top fryer and skip the in oven one. Only because my experience might not be yours, or yours might be worse than mine.
@@Tinyoak2 thanks for replying!
So if you use that baking sheet, yogi mats & lower rack you still get smoke but not as bad as before? Just wanna make sure I understood right.
BTW, can you use the regular baking setting without the fan turning on? I've been reading so many reviews and I think I saw someone say something like that.
I like convection but not with every single recipe...
If I do end up getting a table top air fryer then I might not even get a new stove..ugh 😩
@@missoli100 no no. nowhere near. Before we had to open windows and everything. Now , when it happens, its more like a weak smoke, kind of like when your heat is too high on the stovetop, I guess. and it happens mostly from foods that are higher in fat like pork or chicken thighs. yes you can use it without using the fan. I wouldn't say throw your hands up. They are improving all the time. i got mine a few years ago, so by now they might have upgraded those issues too. The oven itself is good, you just have to figure out how to make that one setting work for you. Everyone has their own "hacks and tricks".
@@Tinyoak2 last question 🙈 is it really loud when you're using the oven?
I have found that a higher temp (higher than a traditional air fryer, because an oven with an air fryer feature is a bigger area usually, works better in a range with air fryer feature) and instead of using “oil”, spraying whatever you’re cooking with a cooking oil or Pam is helpful.. I’ve been searching for the best air fryer chicken wing recipe and would love to see it!!!
I airfry chicken wings plain at 325 for 20 minutes then pull out and coat with franks put back in and do 400 for 5 minutes or until crispy.
I used a recipe for "Best damn oven fry porkchops" x2 at 400 degrees for 12 min (turn at 6 min) But it took 36 minutes to get to correct pork temp with a meat thermometer. I did cook 3 chops instead of 2, but they are not 1 inch thick as recommended by recipe. I kept opening door every 6 min to check for readiness. Next time, I'm adding at least 25 degrees to this recipe and anticipate at least 30 min for 3 chops. LESS peaking & opening door. I have a new Fridgidaire airfryer OVEN using it for first time with the air fryer tray.
Thank you, just bought the electric version of this last night!
Thank you for the tips!!
Thank you. It is very helpful.
this is awesome. ive had my oven 1 year but first time wanting to try air fryer. where can we buy the wire tray and will the food get stuck in the wire when using chicken if yes should we spray the wire with cooking oil
Ok found that dang tray on Amazon and got it for free from applying for their Amazon credit card ( no annual fee). Can’t complain, but I will admit the only reason I’m here watching this video is because my wings are not coming out that great, and I honestly believe it has a lot to do with this tray just like my smaller air fryer that broke. Those wings came out amazing, RIP. So thank you for this video! The guy who sold this to me at Lowe’s could of mentioned that!! Also I do not use oil to air fry wings!! Or anything on an air fryer, I mean after all I want an healthier choice for cooking! PS I subscribed.
I agree I don't use any oil and my food taste great from air frying
I just purchased it and my chicken tasted horrible.
@@SteppingIntoPurpose7 I’m not to impressed with air flyer for wings and chicken. I keep
Messing with the temps and times, does not air fry like my old little one. RIP. But it does air fry a good steak 🥩
Great video , just purchased one will do as you say before use. Thks
Thank you, very informative.
Our first try with air frying was not good. Lots of smoke had to open windows to remove smoke to stop smoke detectors. The food turned out great but the oven was completely covered in grease and I had to do the steam clean which helped but did not get rid of all the grease. I ended up doing a full clean before another attempt at air frying. If I didn't and the oven smoked it might be because of residual grease. I worried that was this what would happen every time we air fry. So we examed all we did and eliminated spraying the wire basket, we did not spray the wings with a "light" covering of avocado oil. We waited for the oven to reach 425 using an oven thermometer (when set to 425F the oven initially reached 500F before dropping to 425). We also lined the baking sheet with tinfoil and then with parchment paper. The result was no smoke, no coating of grease in the oven it was perfect. We also covered the wings with flour to absorb the grease from the wings. The next time we will try not to use the flour. Seemed like a different oven absolutely no issues. ;)
THANK YOU SO MUCH, I will be trying your method. I got smoke and alarms setting off because my kitchen has no window. We remodeled it and did not add a window due to the cabinets position. So I have not attempted to air fry anymore but will tonight. thank you again and I will update you on my next attempt.
Thank you. My oven is cleaning right now because of my mess after air frying.
Can I put foil paper at the bottom of the oven, because when I did air fry my chicken wings and did a self clean after that all the water and oil collected at the bottom of the oven and it was hard cleaning the mess. Should I put something at the bottom of the oven?
I already have and gotham steel pro crisper tray, basket included. Can I use this in the frigidaire oven, I have air fryer with this stove. Thank you
We just received our oven today. Can't wait to use the air fryer. We will put our other air fryer away now
Thanks for the video. I haven't purchased the tray/basket yet. Does Air fry option work without the basket?
Absolutely. You can use any pan when using air fry. You may have to flip your food.
I never realized I needed the rack. Ive just been putting my food into regular pans and hoping it would airfry
Great video, thank you!
Thank you for this video.... our stove just arrived and my wife burned the first thing she put in there...
It takes a bit of getting used to. Try turning down your oven temperature 25 degrees less than the recipe says. Do you have the gas version or electric?
I can’t even cook anything on mine
I bought the Samsung rage with airfryer & it's excellent 👌 And with the Samsung it comes with the tray .
Many Samsung range models with the Airfryer feature do not come with the tray, and this has been an on going complaint to Samsung. The Samsung tray is $55 but is also hard to find. It's not available on Amazon and out of stock in stores.
Aloha...I have the electric model and am wondering if I can use a wire grid roasting rack with 1” legs set in a jelly roll pan in place of the setup in your video. Does that 1” height allow enough air to “fry” the bottom of the food? Great video, btw.👍
it will do if u can get it up higher to say 2-3 inches it would be better i use a stackable cooling rack that have folding feet using 1 of those and a wire basket holding ur food but spend the $50 for this rack it will be even better
@@nebskram3080 Where can I buy that rack please!!
Thanks for the video I have a lg airfry it stay smoking a lot yes I have the basket still so much smoke!! Please help
what is the next step after you put the tray in? What knobs do you turn on?
No one has mentioned the oily splatter all over the oven. Can I use anything to cover the rack? Frigidaire states not to use foil any where in the oven. I also got smoke coming out using the frigidaure rack. Although I used a smaller air fryer tray from a different brand and my oven never smoked.
DO NOT run a self clean. Self cleaning and oven is one of the worst things you can do for your oven. I don't know how many times I've had customers self plain and damaged before Thanksgiving. If you are going to use that feature, use it months in advance before a major cooking event. All you need to do is bake at 400ﾟ for 30 minutes with nothing in it and that will take care of it
Makes sense, same thing with any BBQ PIT. Just an initial burn off for 30 mins to an hour. So this makes sense to just do a high heat burn off
@@jarispe32 30 minutes? I only do like 10 lol. But good advice
My oven lit on fire in self cleaning mode 😅
@@kdkkat hahaha I'm sorry. Guess my comment was a little late
Mom has been telling me to not use the self-clean function on an oven for well over 40 years, lol. I'll be sure to mention that her advice is still valid - she'll get a kick out of that.
How’s the energy usage on the air fryer function?
Hi, I am considering buying the new Frigidaire PCFE3078AF that has an air fryer built in. My only concern is how well it self cleans. I currently have a big counter top Ninja that can bake and air fry, but I mostly air fry. I have only had it a year and it is covered in a black baked on substance that I can't get off. The manufacturer says you can only use mild detergent to try to clean it but that doesn't work. I just want to know if the self cleaning mode on the Frigidaire stove gets rid of that. I don't want to buy this stove if its going to end up looking like my counter top air fryer.
The self clean setting will literally burn everything in the oven down to ash that can just be wiped out. It would really really well and the oven looks practically brand new when done. However, make sure you do it on a day you can open your windows as it does get really hot and smoky but other than that, it’s fantastic!! :)
Thank you for the video. I haven't had much success with mine. I have the special tray. I line the stove top with paper towel then put the mesh tray on top. So when I put frozen French fries on it crumbs and ice crystals are contained.
Does anyone have any recommendations for temp and time for tater tots and/or crinkle cut fries?
Another question. Are we supposed to season the grill?
So I recently got a Frigidaire oven w air fry. I bought a cookie cheet like you have below but my open rack fits in the cookie sheet would that work?
I bought Fridgiaire electric stove with air fryer and when try to bake cupcakes the upper element doesn't lid. Is that normal? Or it should lid Red?
Any tips for cooking pizza on a sheet? For some reason the bottom isn’t blowing like it used to in my old oven
First off, thank you for making this. I am lost with this new technology. Second, while using this stove, and reading directions, am I not suppose to set it at the degree in the recipe. I am burning EVERYTHING!!! Even brownies. I currently have them at 150 and it's better.
Where do you buy that tray?!
Have you air fried fish in your oven, if so what temp do you use and what is the cooktime. I want to fry catfish fileit in it
I like this more category you got going on.
where can I purchase the rack for my air fryer oven and second aare the flames suppose to come on when air frying also thee knobs on the stove are getting to hot to handle
What about carrying the air fryer grid with the food on it that has breadcrumbs from the counter to the oven?
Do I have to remove the racks if I am steam cleaning the oven?
Lmfaoooooo the end was so cute. This is so innocent and yes kids are more “grown up” these days but kids have also always dressed up and did stuff like this. Just because you didn’t doesn’t mean they shouldn’t.
Where do I find the tray to buy so that the oven don’t smoke.
Where can you purchase the tray
Excellent video. Thanks
Do you sell the basket and rack at your store?
Can you please tell me how to set the time you want to cook the food?
I know this is a 3 year old post. But my gas stove i just got installed Saturday shows to put air fryer rack in position 3 and the rack 1 for drip pan. Best to put foil and parchment paper on top of foil for smoke control. Sure its different for different models.
Where can you get the airfryer basket?
I just got mine and the buttons for the “burners” are aggravating!
Same!!!!
Hi. It was not clear to me if you had the wire tray in while preheating. It is quite awkward to manipulate when very hot. My least favorite thing about this oven is the oven rack slides. They are not smooth & tip easily. Thanks for the tips, especially the cleaning recommendations. 👍
Did you try rubbing cooking oil on the side walls where the racks slide? I just got my oven and that was recommended in the instructions before your first use. Hope hat helps you out.
Do people leave the air fry tray in the oven all the time? I just don’t know where I will store mine.
Can you advise how long it takes for the fan to start spinning ? Was trying to just test it and after 3-4 min it still wasn’t spinning . I did choose air fry and confirmed it was on but no fan spin
Sean Buchanan If you have a gas range, the fan will turn on approximately 6 minutes after air fry is started.
I have the Frigidaire Air-fry/Convection gas range, what is the difference between Air-fry and convection settings? Is there a heating element with the fan on gas models?
Yes (according to the employee at Home Depot).
Thanks for the video. I picked up one of these oven earlier this week, air fried 2 dozen home made chicken wings in it last night. The wings were great, but the mess was not worth it. Grease all over the over and the racks. I probably did 4+ hours of clean up. Any tips on how to contain the mess? I barely used any oil and did have a pan underneath.
APPROX how long & temp did you THANKS in advance!!
Have you tried adding water to the pan underneath? The "drip pan" I would call it. It should keep the oil that lands on it from smoking.
@@rdeleon101 Er... The water won't boil off?
I tried wings for the first time in my air fryer range. I didn’t think I had to much oil on them but it did have a good amount of smoke come out of the top of the range. Which made my smoke alarm go off. Should I only use a spray on the fryer pan. Not on the wings to make my dry run stick? Any tips would be appreciated. Thanks
It’s not just the use of oil it’s actually the smoke temperature of the oil. Avocado oil has the highest smoke temperature and leaves no flavor on your food. You can get it in a spray bottle. I spray the wings with oil and use the oil to help the seasoning stick. Try that and let me know what you think. 😃
You honestly don't need to add anymore oil to the wings. They have lots of grease in them and fry up nice
I just bought a maytag with air fryer and convection. Is it normal for the fan to go for a few seconds and then off, on and off continually, I would think it needs to be going steady?
Unfortunately, your not going to like my answer but for the model you have, it’s normal. However, I think it’s absolutely ridiculous and it should definitely run constantly for proper air frying and evidently, Maytag and Whirlpool don’t think so. You see the problem here? Multiple people have been complaining about this for years about their convection and air fry ovens and apparently, Whirlpool doesn’t care. I’m not saying the oven you have is bad at all but the air fry and convection features definitely have huge design flaws.
I was using my Air Fry at a 500 degree temp and my oven shut off and it won't start up again. Is because it got too hot or have I just destroyed my brand new oven?
The Manuel for the Frigidaire induction air fry says to take all racks out when steam or self cleaning. This is different than any previous stove I have had. Why is that required? Also, how does one get the racks clean? I’ve hand washed many times but that does not get off baked on grease. Help.
Thanks for reaching out. The racks must be removed during self cleaning due to the high temperatures. Otherwise, they will rust and discolor. To clean your rack, soak them in hot soapy water overnight then scrub with a sponge. Hope this helps.
Is it okay to store the air fryer tray in the oven when not using it, in other words keep it in the oven when not air frying, just baking? I have very limited storage space in my kitchen.
Unless its kept super-clean, it’s not recommended to leave it in there 24/7. It will get darker and darker which changes the thermal characteristics. It’s also not quite as robust as the racks so it will not tolerate excessive thermo-cycling as well. It may unravel quicker, thus shortening its operational life. Warping so it doesn’t lie flat on the rack.
I've used my air fryer twice to make a whole chicken....don't have the frigidaire brand tray. My oven is a mess afterwards and both times have to "clean" the oven. What am I doing wrong?
How high do you put rack
You say to check the food during air fry to make sure it isn't over-cooking/burning. My oven door is black, so I can't see through it. Are you suggesting we open the door during air fry?
Turn oven light on?
I would love to air fry legs and thighs. Will that work in this oven?
Can you reheat food with the air fryer??
Do you have a link on how to use baking?? In so confusedddddd
How do you keep juices and other food from dripping on the oven racks and coils?
Seriously? There’s literally a sheet pan underneath to catch things in the video. Not exactly big brain plays here
I have this oven for 1.5 years- just getting around to considering buying the air fry basket.... where do you find it for $50? cheapest I found is Wmart @ $65.25.
I got mine for $50 direct from Frigidaire. But that was a year ago.
I was told by repairman to not run self clean much. It blows out the ceramic igniter which happened to my oven. I just bought this Frigidaire a week ago and am waiting for delivery.
I would agree. Plus the electronics get hot and that is not good either
My Husband air fried chicken no oil ,
He did not put anything underneath
So now everything is down below and I can’t seem to clean it ?
Any tips every time I turn on my Oven smoke comes out because of same problem that my Smart husband did!!
How do you take food out of the oven when using the air fryer tray? What do you put the tray on? I get the drip tray in the oven but struggling with taking out food when it's done & not creating a mess
Tip: Be sure to pull the "lower drip tray" oven rack out simultaneously with the upper air fryer basket rack! This prevents drippings from the air fryer basket falling directly on the open oven door when ready to or while removing the cooked food. Also, I use a pair of insulated oven mittens to either remove the entire air fryer basket from the holding rack to a pre-positioned cutting board or parchment paper on the counter. I grab each side of basket and lift it out of the rack, or I use a pair of tongs to remove the food directly from the basket to a serving dish or platter without moving it from the holding oven rack. For me, either way leaves no oven mess. Hope this helps.
@@jlking225 Thanks for the tip.
Can i put foil oaper at yhe bottom of the oven
Where do you put the oil?
What's that ting up to the corner that looks as if something can screw on to
I bought the MAYTAG 7700LZ0 COOKING APPLIANCE . NO INSTRUCTION MANUAL .
do you think I can apply your information to my air fryer stove. ?
I have same complaint-no instructions for all the features, getting a little help on RUclips.
They say in the user book not to use aluminum in the oven... An opinion? Also, would you be kind enough to give me recipes with the air fryer? Best regards...
does a AirFry oven make a lot of noise when running? Great video.
You can hear the fan running but it’s not loud at all. Quieter than a countertop air fryer for sure.
My fan dosent work when I use air frayer why?
Question, when our oven is on bake only the fan still runs, I thought it only ran during convection bake and air fry, what gives?
Thanks for asking. It is normal for the fan to run during preheating on standard bake and then pulse on and off after preheat. Don’t worry. It only comes on very low speed during the bake setting and it’s just to help keep heat even in the oven. It will not effect temperature or time on standard bake. I don’t see why you wouldn’t want it to come on as it makes practically no noise and it’s just helping to keep heat even and it’s such a low speed for such a short period of time that it will not effect the way items bake. When using convection bake, convection roast, or air fry, the fan runs constantly at a higher speed. Here is a video of normal operation. ruclips.net/video/ruvXOH8wB1o/видео.html
What are the dimensions of the grease collecting tray that is positioned under the air fry tray? Frigidaire is unable to provide an answer and has discontinued their grease collecting tray.
We just used our oven for the first time, ran a 30 min bake cycle prior (per manu instructions) and it smoked like nothing I’ve never seen before. Pan with foil underneath so I assume just the drippings that are causing it but we’ll always have that. My entire house is filled, smoke alarms going off even with doors open. Help!
It smoked after 30 min? I’m getting this oven w my new home , used to a double wall oven, I’m nervous 😩
@@sabrinazeidman2353 Did you have any issues with it?
I've had mine for about a month & on the fence about buying the special tray. I have a baking tray with a rack that sits on top that is easy clean that I've been using. Also I've put veggies and meats to roast right onto a sheet pan and it's worked great. What are your thoughts?
Mia Bunker That’s totally fine! I honestly did the same thing until I was able to get a tray.
You’ll get better air flow around the food with the Frigidaire air fryer rack.
I actually bought an air fryer rack at Costco, way cheaper and it works great.
Air fryer mode lmfao. Marketing is fascinating. So... Convection bake...
I do this all the time with a regular wire rack 1 level above a baking tray. Right there on top of normal rack. Don't need the special rack (though that's cool and I can see wanting that in the future)
U have video on cooking steak ?
Does anyone know if this particular stove has a “timed cook” feature? Not to be confused with the timer/stopwatch feature. Rather, once you put the item(s) in the oven, you can set the time and the oven will “shut off” once that timer has expired? Thanks
I won't know until the end of the month (backordered). If I am remembering correctly, while I was helping my mother research gas ranges, I saw on the product's page on the Home Depot website that the owner's manual was available (in .PDF format) for reading/downloading, so you could probably find the answer to your question that way. However, there's "a little issue" with trying to use an automatic shutoff function on an oven - it's still going to be at whatever temperature you set it at, after it shuts off. And it will cool down *slowly* , meaning whatever you've got in there will continue to cook. And that means you'll almost certainly want to remove the food from your oven as soon as it has been properly cooked. And, when you do... you can simply press the button to turn the oven off.
Can you post the link where you bought the air fryer tray?
www.frigidaire.com/Filters--Accessories/Bakeware-and-Cookware/AIRFRYTRAY/
I like to make toast in the oven on broil but when I put it on broil the top elliment does not come on and it does not broke my toast
I have no instructions to show how to use any of the buttons for air fryer or convection oven and its necessary when you have never had an air fryer!! Not even sure how timer works either. I’m not a happy camper with my new Maytag range so far. Help me find info we need to use this range before I go nuts.
What is the difference between the air fryer and a convection oven?
Adrian Abshire Well to be honest, the concept is the same. Fan forced hot air but Frigidaire’s technology plays a difference. First of all, the air fry ranges have a 900 watt convection element compared to the 350 watt element you get in the non air fry ranges. Also, the convection fan is more powerful than the non air fry models. Second is the algorithm. When you select the air fry option and set the temperature, the oven will actually preheat about 100 degrees hotter than the temperature you set and hold that hot temperature for the first few minutes after you open and close the door to put your food in. This allows the outside of your food to get crispy and sear. Then, the oven will gradually cool down to your set temperature and maintain it while the convection fan circulates the hot air and this allows for the inside of your food to get cooked. Again, the concept is the same but the algorithm and the more powerful fan and element is really what makes this oven special. I’m sure you could similar results in a normal convection oven. It would just take longer and the results may not be perfect.
