Some cooking appliances, like our Slow Cooker, come with a little booklet that includes a handful of recipes, so you can get started. The only thing included with my air fryer is a chart that indicates which dishes should be cooked with the grid and which shouldn't.  If you've had an air fryer for a while maybe none of this will...
