AIR FRYING TIPS

• Please check on the cooking of your food as our air fryer oven cooking technology will cook food quicker than that of convectional ovens.
• Pat the food dry before cooking to encourage browning and to avoid excess smoke. To ensure even cooking/browning, always open the air fryer oven halfway through the cook time and check, turn foods if required. Some recipes call to brush or spray oil halfway through cooking. Adjust the temperature or time if needed.
• Frying small batches will require shorter cooking times and yield crispier results.
• To avoid excess smoke when cooking foods high in fat (e.g bacon, chicken wings or sausages), it may be necessary to empty the fat gathered in the air fryer oven drip tray between batches.
• Create a more spaced out surface area to allow more air to pass through by cutting food into smaller pieces. This can yield crispier foods.
• Press breading/coating onto food to help it stick. Refrigerate breaded foods for at least 30 minutes before frying. This allows the coating to be slightly absorbed and ensures the coating sticks to foods when cooking. We recommend NOT using the rotating basket for breaded or coated foods.
• To improve crispiness in meat, coat the meat lightly with cornflour or rice flour and spray with oil.
• Arrange breaded coated foods on grill racks so that food is not touching to allow air flow on all surfaces.
• Spray oils work best with this air fryer oven. The spray distributes the oil more evenly and less oil generally needed. However, canola, olive, avocado, coconut, grape seed, peanut or vegetable oil work well too.
• When baking or using wetter foods it is best to use a baking tin or oven dish lined with parchment paper.
• For best results with fresh chips use King Edward, Maris Piper, Romano, Désirée, or Russet potatoes. Make sure they have been washed and dried. this will help create a crispier chip.
• Air Frying Pre-Packaged Frozen Foods
• Depending on the type and amount of food being cooked, suggested cook times may differ. Always check food halfway through cooking time to determine the final cook time and temperature.
• Once the time is up, ensure the food is fully cooked.
• Refer to the table below for the recommended settings. The times given are for guidance only. They may vary depending on the amount, the food itself or your own preferences and taste.

Grill rack
Use the grill rack for dehydrating, grilling, preparing crispy foods or cooking pizza. You can use two grill racks at the same time.

• Prepare the food according to the recipe and place the food in the centre of the grill rack.
• Place the grill rack in one of the two upper guide rails and push it fully inside.
• Always put the drip tray at the bottom of the air fryer oven when using the grill racks.

Please note: The higher the guide rail selected, the higher the temperature. This means that the cooking process is accelerated. As such, check the food occasionally throughout the cooking process to prevent burning.

Rotating basket

The cooking time and cooking temperature have not been set.| Set the cooking time and cooking temperature and press the power button to begin cooking.
The appliance door is not closed properly.| Check whether the appliance door is closed, remove obstructions.
The food is undercooked.| The appliance has been overfilled.| Cook smaller portions to achieve a more consistent result.
The temperature set is too low.| Select a higher cooking temperature.
The cooking time is too short.| Select a longer cooking time.
The food is cooked unevenly.| The rotating basket/rotisserie spit is not inserted correctly.| Guide the rotating basket/ rotisserie spit properly into the lock position on the guide rail.
Food has not been turned halfway| Ensure food is turned half way.
Food is overcooked/burnt.| Cooking temperature is set too high.| Check cooking temperature and lower the thermostat accordingly.
Cooking time too long.| Check cooking time of product and be aware air fryer may cook quicker than conventional ovens.
Fried snacks are not crispy when they are finished cooking.| Check type of food as it may only be prepared in a traditional deep fryer.| Otherwise see tips.
White smoke is coming out of the appliance.| The food is very fatty or greasy.| When preparing fatty/greasy foods, the fat and oil drips into the drip tray. This causes a higher temperature than usual to

develop in the drip tray. This does

not effect the appliance or the cooking result.

The drip tray still contains food residue from a previous cooking process.| Smoke is caused by grease heating up in the drip tray. Make sure you clean the pan properly after each use.
Problem| Possible Cause| Possible Solution
