No. Do not insert lightweight ingredients or parchment paper into the appliance.
The Rapid Air technology relies on unobstructed air circulation. Paper or lightweight items can get sucked up against the heating element or block the air vents, creating a fire hazard and ruining your food. Always place food directly in the basket.
If that didn't work: If you're worried about sticking, make sure the basket and pan are clean and the non-stick coating is intact. You can lightly coat food with oil instead.
Heads up: Never cover the air circulation openings while the appliance is operating. Never leave the appliance unattended while in use.
