ADDITIONAL SAFETY TIPS

IMPORTANT: During the first few minutes of initial use, you may notice smoke and/or a slight odour. This is normal and should quickly dissipate. It will not recur after appliance has been used a few times.
During operation, hot steam is released from the air vent. Keep hands and face away from the air vent. Be careful when removing food drawer once the cooking cycle has completed. Never fill the ingredients in the food drawer beyond MAX fill line.

BEFORE YOUR FIRST USE

Carefully unpack your air fryer and remove all packaging materials. Pull food drawer out of the air fryer using the handle. Remove the cooking rack by lifting up the center tab.
Refer to Fig. 1.

As this air fryer functions with hot air, the food drawer does not need to be filled with oil.

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR AIR FRYER

HELPFUL HINTS BEFORE AIR FRYING

• To ensure optimal cooking performance, always preheat your air fryer. Refer to preheating instructions on page 5.
• French fries and other small ingredients usually require a slightly shorter cooking time than larger ingredients, such as chicken fingers. Larger ingredients only require a slightly longer cooking time.
• Remove the food drawer halfway through the cooking cycle and shake smaller ingredients to prevent uneven air frying. This optimizes cooking performance. See guide on page 7 for cooking suggestions. If food is difficult to shake, use a pair of heat-safe nylon or silicone tongs to stir food instead of shaking.
• To safely remove large or fragile foods, lift the food out of the food drawer using a pair of heat-safe nylon or silicone tongs.
• Avoid air frying extremely greasy foods in the air fryer.
• Excess oil and liquids from your air-fried foods will collect below the removable cooking rack.
• When the timer shuts off and your cooking cycle ends, the air fryer is immediately ready for another cooking cycle.
• Snacks or hors d’œuvres that can be prepared in an oven can also be prepared in your air fryer.
• Use your air fryer to reheat food. Set timer to 10 min and cook at 150°C.
• It is recommended to defrost some frozen foods prior to cooking to shorten the cooking time.

HELPFUL HINTS FOR MAKING FRIES

• When air frying fresh potatoes, rinse and dry the potatoes thoroughly to remove excess moisture and starch. The perfect amount of fries is 0.45 kg or less.
• Remember to shake and/or stir smaller ingredients halfway through the cooking cycle to optimize the cooking performance and for even frying. Resume air frying until fries reach your desired crispiness.
• As soon as your first batch is complete, you are ready for the next batch.

HELPFUL HINTS FOR BAKING

• Pre-made dough requires a shorter cooking time than homemade dough.
• For baking, small silicone baking cups are recommended for the best results.
• Place small baking tins, small silicone baking cups or a small oven dish in your air fryer when preparing cakes, quiche, fragile foods, or foods with liquid centers.
• If baking ingredients that contain rising agents, the baking tin should not be filled to more than 2/3.

HELPFUL HINTS FOR MEAT AND POULTRY

• When cooking large pieces of meat or poultry with excess fats and oil that collect in the bottom of the food drawer, use a pair of heat-safe nylon or silicone tongs to remove the piece of meat or poultry from the food drawer. Avoid flipping the food drawer over, as this will cause fats and oil residue to leak onto your serving plate or countertop

USING YOUR AIR FRYER

CAUTION: Place your air fryer on a clean, flat, heat resistant surface, such as a table or countertop. Ensure that if you place the air fryer on a delicate surface, basic precautions should be taken. Material placed beneath the air fryer must be made of a heatresistant, protective surface to prevent heat transfer or melting.
Do not place the air fryer against a wall or against other appliances. Leave at least 10 cm of space on the back, sides, and above the air fryer. Do not cover the air vent located at the back of the air fryer. This appliance requires 1000 Watts and should be the only appliance operating on the circuit.

    CAUTION: Extreme caution must be used not to touch the food drawer and removable rack as they will be hot when the air fryer is used.

14. Once air frying is complete, carefully pull out the food drawer by its handle, and remove any larger foods, such as chicken or meat, that will require the use of heat-safe nylon or silicone tongs. For smaller foods, such as fries, vegetables or foods with no excess oil, simply use the food drawer and carefully pour out your food contents onto a serving dish.

15. Unplug unit and allow to cool before cleaning and storing.

CAUTION: Never place the hot food drawer and cooking rack directly on a tabletop or countertop to avoid surface damage.
Use a heat-resistant trivet or cutting board. Food, food drawer and cooking rack will be very hot. Do not attempt to remove food from drawer without using oven mitts or a pair of heat-safe nylon or silicone tongs.
The table below will assist you in selecting the basic setting for some of your favorite foods.
NOTE: The settings are general indications only. As foods differ in origin, size, shape and brand, we cannot guarantee the best settings for your foods. As convection air technology reheats the air inside the air fryer instantly, pulling the food drawer out of the air fryer briefly during hot air frying barely disturbs the process.
NOTE: Add 3 minutes to the cooking time when you start frying while the air fryer is still cold.
