Dualit DAF1 Air Fryer

CONGRATULATIONS ON PURCHASING YOUR AIR FRYER
Enjoy delicious food while saving time, energy and money using your powerful Air Fryer. Designed to the highest specifications, the Air Fryer uses convection heating (circulating hot air around the food), as opposed to frying, to provide a healthy alternative to deep fat fryers. All without compensating on flavour. With a large capacity (5.5L) but small footprint, this mighty appliance will supercharge your cooking, enabling you to fry, bake, roast, dehydrate, grill and reheat at the touch of a button. Our thoughtfully designed non-stick coated Crisper Tray maximises the amount of food you can cook, while also allowing for easy cleaning in the dishwasher. With the flexibility to choose one of the Air Fryer’s useful Presets or Manual Mode cooking, there are countless meal options to choose from.

TIPS FOR USING YOUR AIR FRYER

ENSURE YOU HAVE READ ‘IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS’ AND FOLLOWED THE STEPS ON ‘SETTING UP YOUR AIR FRYER’ AND ‘PREHEATING YOUR AIR FRYER’. REFER TO THE ‘MANUAL MODE COOKING AND RECOMMENDED COOKING GUIDELINES’.

ROASTING
- Select a joint/cut with even thickness. Ensure it fits into the Crisper Tray, leaving at least 2cm from the top of the meat to the top of the Crisper Tray and 4cm around the sides of the meat for air flow.
- Reduce the meat’s packaging fan oven timings by approximately 20% and temperature by 10°C.
FRYING
- Evenly distribute food on the Crisper Plate. Ensure a 2cm gap between food and top of Crisper Tray. Do not squash food. See ‘Maximum Weight of Food Per Cycle’. Risk of fire.
- To achieve even cooking results, we recommend turning/ shaking food several times during the cooking cycle. To do so, pull out the Crisper Tray, shake/ turn food and reinsert the Crisper Tray. Cooking will automatically resume. Risk of injury.
REHEATING
- Evenly distribute food on the Crisper Plate. Ensure a 2cm gap between food and top of Crisper Tray. Do not squash food. See ‘Maximum Weight of Food Per Cycle’. Risk of fire.
- If reheating dry food such as chips, pizza or bread, we recommend sprinkling a small amount of water onto the food to prevent it from drying out.
BAKING
- Note, when baking in the Air Fryer, the outside of the food will cook faster than the inside.
- Never exceed a maximum load of 0.375kg cake mix per cooking cycle. Risk of fire. You will need to cook two layers (0.375g each) separately.
- Ensure cake moulds are non-flammable, smaller than 7 inches/ 18cm in diameter and a maximum height of 2.5 inches/ 7cm. Allow 3.5cm around the edge of the mould. Place the cake moulds on the Crisper Plate within the Crisper Tray. Risk of fire.
GRILLING
- Select food with even thickness. Ensure it fits into the Crisper Tray, leaving at least 2cm from the top of the meat to the top of the Crisper Tray and 4cm around the sides of food for air flow.
- If using metal skewers, take caution when removing, as the skewers will be hot. Risk of injury. Never use wooden skewers in the Air Fryer. Risk of fire.
DEHRYDRATING
- Cut the food into 0.5cm slices, the thickness and size will depend on the food being dehydrated. Spread out the pieces evenly on the Crisper Plate.
- We recommend turning the food regularly (e.g. each time you have to reset the cooking cycle). This allows you to monitor the dehydration process and decide how much longer is needed.

CLEANING & MAINTENANCE

BEFORE CLEANING MAKE SURE THE APPLIANCE IS SWITCHED OFF, UNPLUGGED AND ALLOWED TO COOL FOR ONE HOUR BEFORE CLEANING. RISK OF INJURY. DO NOT SUBMERGE THE BODY, POWER CORD OR PLUG INTO WATER OR OTHER LIQUID, OR POSITION UNDER A WATER TAP.* RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK & INJURY.

evenly coated prior to cooking. Risk of fire.

FRENCH FRIES ARE NOT CRISPY WHEN THEY COME OUT OF THE AIR FRYER.
The crispiness of the fries depends on the amount of oil and water in the potato slices.| Ensure you sure you pat dry the potato slices with kitchen towel thoroughly before adding the oil. Cut the potatoes into thinner slices for a crispier result. While oil is not necessary, if adding oil, ensure no more than 30ml is used and that the potatoes are

evenly coated prior to cooking. Risk of fire.

THE INGREDIENTS USED IN THE AIR FRYER ARE NOT COOKED.
The Air Fryer has been overloaded with food.| Put smaller batches of ingredients into the Crisper Tray. Smaller batches are fried more evenly.
The Crisper Tray and appliance have not been adequately preheated.| Always preheat the Crisper Tray and appliance for 3 minutes before inserting food.
The set temperature is too low.| Adjust the settings to the required temperature setting (see section ‘Settings’).
The cooking time is too short.| Adjust the settings to the required preparation time (see section ‘Settings’).

AIR FRIED SNACKS ARE NOT CRISPY WHEN THEY COME OUT OF THE AIR FRYER.
The Air Fryer is not hot enough/ the food has not been cooked for long enough.| Increase the temperature and time of the cooking cycle.
You used a type of snack meant to be prepared in a deep fat fryer.| Use snacks made to be prepared in the oven, or lightly brush oil (never more than 30ml or oil/ lard) onto the snacks for a crispier result.
FOOD DOES NOT COOK EVENLY.
You are not shaking food frequently enough during the cooking cycle.| Tips for shaking: if a recipe calls for 20 minutes cooking time and you want to shake the food half way through, set time to 10 minutes, then shake at end of cycle. Then put on again for another 10 minutes.

You have recently run/ started a cooking cycle.| The fan stays on to cool the product after cooking. This is normal and to be expected.
THE AIR FRYER COMES ON AND STARTS COOKING WHEN PLUGGED IN.
