Getting started

Open and close hood
Open: Grip the handle and open the hood fully in 90 angle so it steadily stands.

Close: Grip handle and carefully lower down the hood until it touches the middle rim.

Remove: Using your thumb, push the tab located on the left towards the hood to release the splatter shield then, gently pull it out from the slots using your other hand.
WARNING: DO NOT attempt to remove the splatter shield immediately after cooking. Allow unit to completely cool before removing or taking off accessories.

To store, insert the cooking pot into the base and place the air fryer basket followed by the grill plate.

Using the thermometer
The thermometer works by constantly monitoring the internal temperature of the food while cooking until it matches the target temperature for each preprogrammed setting.
There are no time adjustments. Cooking cycle depends entirely on the internal food temperature.
NOTE: The thermometer included DOES NOT replace an external food thermometer. ALWAYS check your food to ensure that it is cooked based on the recommended temperatures.

1. Inspect the thermometer cord and make sure that it is free of knots and any damage.
2. While unit is on standby mode, plug in the thermometer in the probe jack (hole) located at the right side of the control panel.

For Steaks, Lamb chops, Chicken breasts, Fish fillets (salmon), Burgers, Tenderloins Insert the thermometer horizontally (without an angle) into the center of the thickest section of your food. The tip of  the thermometer must reach the  middle of the thickest section to achieve the desired doneness results.
Ensure the tip of the thermometer is not touching the bone or fat.
For Whole Chicken
Insert thermometer horizontally (without an angle) into the thickest section of the chicken breast without touching the bone.
To achieve the desired doneness, always ensure the tip of the thermometer is inserted into the middle of the thickest section of the breast.
NOTE:
ALWAYS ensure that the thermometer will not touch any of the heating elements.

SmartTemp for Fries and Samosa
The FRIES and SAMOSA options have our breakthrough SmartTemp Technology that automatically adjusts the temperature halfway through the cooking program. Both programs have a preset temperature of 180°C for the first half of  the cooking time that automatically changes to 200°C for the remaining half of the cooking time.
Our unique SmartTemp Technology cooks fries/samosa at a lower temperature of 180°C for the first half of the cooking time which allows the food to be cooked tenderly on the inside. For the second half of the cooking time, the temperature automatically increases to 200°C which makes your fries/samosa super crispy on the outside.
