Fritaire-01-GR Green Air Fryer with Glass Bowl and Self Cleaning Function User Guide

INTRODUCTION

Congratulations on your purchase and welcome to the Fritaire family!
Your purchase has freed you from the dilemma of expensive, overengineered ‘multipurpose ovens. Fritaire’s chic, and dedicated functionality lets you focus on frying and enjoy the process!
The transparent glass bowl lets you witness the convection whirlwind swirl around the edges —removing the need for you to open and close to check, and lose heat. Moreover, the dreaded cleaning becomes as easy as filling the bowl with soapy water and just switching your Fritaire ON — the hot air stream circulator rinses it and your Fritaire is ready to take on a new frying task!

CLEANING AND CARE

Always make sure you turn off and unplug the appliance before cleaning it. Always wait until the Fritaire cools down completely. Thoroughly wash the glass bowl and accessories in hot soapy water and allow it to dry completely. When washing accessories, do not soak them in water for long periods of time. Once washed, do not air dry accessories. Dry accessories thoroughly with cloth or paper towel. This preserves the surface and extends the accessories’ life.

GLASS BOWL SELF-CLEANING
If the food particles stick to the bottom and/or glass bowl’s sides, Fritaire lets you perform a self-cleaning. Pour approximately 1 to 2 inches of water into the glass bowl. Add a small amount of mild dishwashing liquid. Place lid on and plug into the electrical outlet. Set temperature control to 900 °F / 200 °C and timer to 10 minutes. Once the timer goes off, carefully open the lid and wait for the glass bowl to cool down before emptying the liquid inside. Rinse the glass bowl in dean warm water to remove the soap residue.

WARNING: Do not immerse the top burner lid with controls, cord, or plug in water or any other liquid. Do not use abrasive cleansers. Do not place the glass lid into the dishwasher. Once unplugged from the power outlet, the surface of the glass lid can be carefully wi-ped clean using a damp cloth or sponge. All parts must be dry before next use. When storing your Fritaire always make sure ALL parts are DRY, to avoid any moisture collecting in the lid.

PRO TIP: Set the Timer to % the time the recipe needs. The timer bell alerts you when it is time to flip your food. When you hear the timer bell, the pre-set preparation time has elapsed. The tables help you choose the basic settings for the ingredients selected. Add 3 minutes to cooking time when starting with a cold Fritaire.

NOTE: These settings are indications. As ingredients differ in origin, size, shape and brand, our recommendations do not guarantee the best settings for your ingredients.

COOKING WITH FRITAIRE

SETTING THE TEMPERATURE CHECKING ON YOUR FOOD

• The temperature range is from 160° F (700 C) to 380° F (200° C). The temperature interval is by 40° F (6° C). The temperature can be set by a single interval increase/decrease or by long pressing for continuous change.
• Dehydration is from 110° F (45° C) to 185° F (85° C).
• The cooking time depends on the size, weight and thickness of the food to be cooked. As most meats have recommended cooking times, those times should be used as a guide as Fritaire cooks faster than conventional ovens, so you may need to allow less time to cook the food.

SETTING THE TIMER
You can adjust the cooking times by pressing the timer buttons (6+6)1 +/-. You can set it by 1 minute interval increase/decrease or by long pressing for continuous change.

PREHEATING FOOD
Fritaire accomplishes cooking snacks normally cooked in an oven. In the case of dough, pre-made dough to prepare filled snacks quickly and easily requires a shorter cooking time than homemade dough.

• Place a baking tin or oven dish inside when baking a cake or quiche.
• A tin or dish is also suggested when cooking fragile or filled foods. You can use this product to reheat foods. Simply set the temperature to 150° C for up to 10 minutes. If at any time you need to check on the food:
• Lift the top burner lid up to pause the current cooking function.
• Place the top burner lid on a stable, heat-proof surface.
• As the appliance becomes very hot during use, we strongly recommend oven mitts when removing the top lid or when moving the glass bowl on the counter.
• If you need to remove the tumbler or rotisserie, use the Rotisserie picker and wait until the accessories are cooled off before attempting to remove the food from the tumbler or rotisserie.
• Check if food is cooked.
• To ensure the food is cooked, use a cooking thermo-meter or pierce the food with a fork to check for un-cooked juices on meats and poultry. When cooking vegetables, check for desired tenderness.
• Moisture may build up inside the appliance when cooked food is not removed soon after the timer has gone off The steam/ moisture build-up can be avoi-ded by removing the food as soon as it is cooked.
• Once checked and food still needs to be cooked, place the top burner lid back in position and press start to continue.
• When the timer control reaches the OFF position, Fritaire will turn off automatically.
• After your food is fully cooked, open the lid, place it on a heat resident surface and remove food items.
• Check to make sure the food is fully cooked.

PRO TIP: Smaller-sized food, usually, requires slightly shorter cooking time than larger ones. Flip-ping or turning smaller sized foods halfway through the cooking process, assures evenly-fried food.

b. Slide forks onto the shafts from either end into meat, then lock in place with set screws.

   a. Distribute evenly and leave some space between the food items. This allows even hot air circulation and quicker cooking time.

5. Ensure that no food is scattered on the glass bowl itself.

6. Depending on the type of food, use the accessory that best works for your need: a. Air stand: Chicken wings, legs, breasts, or meat, fish, snacks, rolls, pizza.
   b. Tumbler: Fries, nuggets, or any foods that need 360° heat and airflow.
   c. Rotisserie: Chicken, fish, meat, skewers.

Although Fritaire handles air frying frozen foods, we recommend thawing frozen foods for optimum results. Similar to regular air frying, for thawed food:

1. Close the top burner lid.
2. Plug the power cord into the 110V, dedicated outlet.
3. Although no oil is necessary to air fry food using Fritaire, misting a bit of cooking oil is suggested for a crispier result.
