It looks like there might be some kind of coating on the pan as that temperature for such a short time to have that result is strange. The pan's thickness might also be at play here.

Yes of course, I meant that the "standard" width is 12 inches

I've met with the electrician and all the wiring is done.
A thought while the electrician was there - 220 volt socket - you'll never know if you'll ever need/use it.

Compared to my VP112
Less weight, no need for fussy two handed opening
Only accepts 12" X 12" bags vs 12"W x 14"L
4.7 inch vs 5 inch chamber height
Cheaper price stateside, wonder what that will equate in $CAD

I'd worry about storing with oil in it as it doesn't seem to have some kind of airtight cover (bugs etc)

Usually the shoe is on the other foot or in culinary terms the souffle never rises.

Zehrs (Loblaws) here in Orillia has a decent seafood department and as it's a supermarket their prices are as well

Re killing pests - probably, but you realize that they'll still be there, just dead 👅

To get an impregnable seal the area to be sealed must be clean and dry. Amazon US sells a Vacmaster multi-ring stand for $68.23 USD - I can't imagine the price in CDN dollars - mind you it comes with a "prep stand".😛
Cheap (free) substitute - cut a 1 litre plastic bottle so that it is wide enough to accommodate the food and the other end small enough to fit the bag you are using. Not to be snobbish but I find the Perrier 1 litre bottles ideal for this. You can either wash or toss as it was free to start with.
I'm sure everyone is aware of this - items that are opened, sealed, used and the re-sealed (cheese blocks) - use a large bag so that there is extra space at the top to re-seal.
Anyone else with hints not covered in the manual?

I have an Air Fryer (Chefman 6.8 qt) with a non-stick interior. It's not Teflon or a facsimile, but rather a "painted" on finish that is indeed non-stick. The manufacturer claims it to be dish washer safe. My concern is that dishwashers tend to be like "sandblasting" your utensils.
My question would using an oven cleaner such as "Easy Off" be a reasonable alternative. Aside from a good washing afterwards are there other concerns? Would it harm the non-stick coating. What research I've done indicates ceramic is a commonly used Teflon alternative but unsure if that is what has been used.
I've tried scouring with as coarse a grade pad as I could find and the polymers are there to stay.
Any help with this would be thankfully accepted.

I don't know why it's $150 CDN cheaper in Canada!

Regarding glue traps, yes they are gross and inhumane, but if you have scissors they can be reused.

That certainly works but after you click off a corner of the container you have no way to reseal it. After I had it seems like the milk would go bad faster and pick up other odors.
It's a very small cutting, just enough to let a stream of milk out. Obviously the size of the cut corner determines the flow. I've had no problems with spoilage or odor.
I also buy "pure filtered milk" which lasts considerably longer - I bought 4 litres of milk on Jan 2 with an expiry date of Jan 29 - the brand was Lactantia.

Bags would be my choice, even if I had a choice. The jugged bag takes up less room than a plastic 4 litre container and the other two bags can be squirreled away in a back corner.

I'm partial to the Börner V-7000WH VPower V-Slicer which I've had for years. I find the geometry of a "v" blade gives me easy cutting with less effort/force. Aside from the usual things I find it slices salami types of meats quite nicely. Expensive but worth it.
