COOKING GUIDELINES
Temperature Control Dial
Select air frying temperatures of between 140°C to 200°C. The temperature can
be adjusted during cooking. Once your desired temperature is reached the green
heat light will come on. Countdown Timer Dial (30 Minutes)
Once the timer dial is set, the red power light will show the air fryer is cooking. You can open the frying drawer halfway through your cooking time to make sure the food is ok. If needed you can give chips etc a shake in the basket.
IMPORTANT: When you pull the drawer out from the air fryer it will turn off (the red power light will go out) but the timer will keep going.
Once the drawer is replaced the air frying will continue to cook. When the timer has reached zero it will make a beeping sound and the air fryer will turn off automatically. Once you’re finished cooking turn the temperature control dial to min and the timer to 0 (off).

TROUBLESHOOTING

into a socket | Check your connection – connect the power cable to an earthed |
wall socket
The drawer s not correctly positioned| Check that your drawer clicks into
place when inserting it into the housing.

full| Do not fill the basket beyond the MAX indication
Fried snacks are not crispy when they come out of the air fryer| The food you
cooked needs to be prepared in a traditional deep fryer| Use oven snacks or
lightly brush some cooking oil onto the snacks for a crisper result
White smoke comes out of the air fryer| You are frying greasy ingredients|
When you are frying ingredients that are greasy, a large amount of excess oil
will leak into the pan. The cooking oil will produce white smoke and the pan
may heat up more than normal. This does NOT affect the appliance or your end
cooking results.
The air fryer still contains grease reisdues from your previous use| White
smoke is caused by grease bulding up in the apppliance. We would recommend
cleaning the appliance before your next use
Fresh ingredients are fried unevenly and not cripsy| Using Fresh Ingredients
is different to Frozen| Add more cooking oil or water in with the Fresh
Ingredients or increase cooking time
