USING YOUR AIR FRYER PROGRAMS

The Air Fryer is equipped with eight pre-programmed cooking functions. The following chart is intended as a guide only. The quantity of food air fried at one time, the thickness or density of the food, and whether the food is fresh, thawed, or frozen may alter the total cooking time.

Note: Either remove the entire Drawer, or carefully use plastic or wooden utensils to turn and remove your food.

TIPS FOR YOUR AIR FRYER

• Take into account the food to be cooked before you select the frying temperature. As a general rule, pre-cooked food needs a higher cooking temperature than raw food.
• Cook food thoroughly. Remember that food may begin to turn golden brown before it is cooked inside.
• Select your cooking utensils with care. Do not use utensils that may melt. Do not use metal utensils as they may damage the Drawer and Frying Rack coatings.
• Your Air Fryer has a maximum cooking capacity. This is dependant on food type. As a guide do not fill the basket more than half full.
• Smaller ingredients usually require a shorter frying time than larger ingredients.
• A larger amount of ingredients requires only a slightly longer frying time than a smaller amount of ingredients.
• Do not leave the Drawer out for too long. The temperature will drop.
• The optimal amount for preparing crispy French Fries is 500g.
• Use pre-made dough to prepare filled snacks quickly and easily. Pre-made dough also requires a shorter frying time than homemade dough.
• You can also use the Air Fryer to reheat ingredients. To do this, set the temperature to 150°C for up to 10 minutes. Check that food is hot before eating.
• If you find that food is undercooked or overcooked, be prepared to manual adjust the temperature setting up or down by 10°C to achieve the results you want.
• It is recommended to use a meat thermometer when cooking meat, poultry and fish to ensure food is cooked correctly before consuming.
• To assure even cooking/browning, open the Drawer halfway through the cooking time. Check, turn or vigorously shake foods in the Drawer.
• Adjust air frying temperatures and times as necessary to suit your taste.
• Unless food is pre-packaged and pre-oiled, for golden, crispy results, all foods should be lightly oiled before air frying.
• Oil may be sprayed or brushed onto foods. Spray oils work well, as oil is evenly distributed and smaller quantities of oil are needed.
• To ensure crispy results, make sure foods are dried before adding oil. Cut pieces smaller to create more surface area for crispier results. Blanching is a term that refers to pre-cooking foods at a lower temperature before the final air fry.
• Add 3-5 minutes to the cooking time to allow the Air Fryer to pre-heat or follow the pre-heat steps below.
• Press the On/Off Button (A) once, then Press the Temperature Mode Button (B) once and press the Decrease Temperature Button (D) to set the pre-heat temperature to 180°C, then press the Time Mode Button (B) once and press the Decrease Time Button (D) to set the pre-heat time between 3-5 minutes, press Start/Pause (F). This will pre-heat the Air Fryer. When the pre-heat is complete, it will beep 5 times with the display will show “0:00”, then automatically switch off the Air Fryer after 20 seconds.

TROUBLESHOOTING

• If the Air Fryer fails to turn on, check the appliance is plugged in correctly and the Drawer is fully in place.
• If food has not been cooked thoroughly, check that the drawer capacity has not been exceeded and adjust the cooking time.
• If food has cooked unevenly, certain types of food may need to be shaken during the frying process.
• If circuit alarm fault codes ‘E1’ or ‘E2’ appear on the display, the appliance needs to be returned to place of purchase, if under warranty, or discarded.

CARE & CLEANING

• WARNING: Allow the Air Fryer to cool fully before cleaning.
• Unplug the Air Fryer and allow the Frying Rack & Drawer to cool completely before removing.
• Wash the Frying Rack & Drawer in hot soapy water. Do not use metal kitchen utensils or abrasive cleansers or cleaning products as this may damage the non-stick coating.
• The Drawer is dishwasher safe. For best results, place in the top rack of your dishwasher to clean.
• Wipe the Air Fryer housing with a soft, non-abrasive damp cloth to clean.
• Make sure the Air Fryer is unplugged and all parts are clean and dry before storing.
