WARNING
Before using your new Vortex Plus air fryer, read all instructions, including the Safety and Warranty document. Failure to follow the safeguards and instructions may result in personal injury and/or property damage.

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

WARNING
Safety Instructions
At Instant, we want you to feel comfortable using our products. This Instant Vortex Air Fryer was designed with your safety in mind.
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, personal injury/or property damage.
Read all instructions before using and only use this appliance as described in the in-box materials. Failure to follow these safeguards and instructions may result in personal injury and/or property damage, and can void your warranty.
Placement

  • DO place the appliance on a countertop only. Always operate the appliance on a stable, non-combustible, level surface.
  • DO NOT place the appliance on or close to a hot gas or electric burner, or a heated oven.
  • DO NOT use the appliance near water or flame.
  • DO NOT use outdoors. Keep out of direct sunlight.
  • DO NOT place on anything that may block the vents on the appliance.
  • DO make sure all parts are dry and free of food debris before use.

GENERAL USE

  • DO NOT touch the appliance’s hot surfaces, or any accessories during or immediately after cooking because they will be hot.
  • DO use the appliance’s handles and knobs.
  • DO use oven mitts when removing accessories.
  • DO place hot accessories on a heat-resistant surface or cooking plate.
  • DO NOT cover the cooking tray or any part of the oven with foil. This will cause the oven to overheat.
  • DO NOT move the appliance while it is in use.
  • DO NOT allow children or persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities to operate this appliance. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used near children and individuals with reduced capabilities. Children should not play with this appliance.
  • DO NOT use the appliance for anything other than household use. It is not intended for commercial use.
  • DO NOT leave the appliance unattended while in use.
  • DO NOT use the appliance for more than 60 minutes in a 2-hour period.

AIR FRYING CAUTIONS
When the air fryer is in operation, hot air is released through the air vents. Keep your hands and face at a safe distance from the air vents and take extreme caution when removing hot accessories from the appliance. Failure to do so may result in personal injury or property damage.
While cooking, the internal temperature of the appliance reaches several hundred degrees. To avoid personal injury, never place unprotected hands inside the appliance until it has cooled to room temperature.

  • DO NOT use a ceramic-coated or stoneware pot for air frying.
  • DO NOT block the vents on the air fryer. Leave at least 13 cm of space around the air fryer when in use.
  • DO NOT place the appliance on a hot stove.
  • DO NOT operate the appliance on or near combustible materials  such as tablecloths and curtains.
  • DO NOT cover the air vents while the air fryer is in operation. Doing so will prevent even cooking and may cause damage to the appliance.
  • DO NOT overfill the air fryer. Overfilling may cause food to contact the heating element, which may result in fire, property damage, and/or personal injury.
  • DO NOT use cooking oil or cooking spray on the cooking container. If needed, directly spread food lightly with non-stick cooking spray. Using cooking oil or spray on the cooking container could result in personal injury and/or property damage.
  • DO use caution with cooking containers made of materials other than metal or glass. Failure to do so may result in fire, personal injury, and/or property damage.
  • Should the unit emit black smoke during use, press Cancel and unplug the appliance immediately. Wait for smoking to stop before opening the basket, then clean thoroughly. For further information refer to ‘Troubleshooting’ in this User Manual.
  • DO use extreme caution when moving the appliance containing oils or other hot liquids.
  • DO use extreme caution when removing the tray or disposing of hot grease.
  • DO NOT use this appliance for deep frying foods.

ACCESSORIES

  • DO use only accessories or attachments authorised by Instant Brands LLC. The use of parts, accessories or attachments not recommended by the manufacturer may cause a risk of personal injury, fire, electric shock and/or property damage.
  • DO NOT use the included accessories in a microwave, toaster oven, convection or conventional oven, or on a ceramic cooktop, electric coil, gas range or outdoor grill.

CARE AND STORAGE

  • DO let the appliance cool to room temperature before cleaning or storage.
  • DO NOT store any materials in the appliance when not in use.
  • DO NOT place any combustible materials in the appliance, such as paper, cardboard, plastic, Styrofoam or wood.
  • DO NOT clean the appliance with metal scouring pads or steel wool. Pieces can break off and touch the electrical parts, causing a risk of shock, burns or other personal injury.

POWER CORD
A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the hazards resulting from grabbing, entanglement and tripping. This appliance has a 3-prong earthed plug. To reduce the risk of electric shock or personal injury:

  • ONLY plug the power cord into an earthed electrical outlet.

COOKING
The Instant Vortex Plus VersaZone air fryer uses EvenCrisp™ rapid air circulation to crisp and cook food, from the top down giving your meals all the rich, crispy flavour of deep frying, with little to no oil.
WARNING
HOT SURFACES

The air fryer will be hot during and after cooking. Always exercise extreme caution when removing food or accessories, like the cooking tray and divider, from the hot cooking chamber. Touching hot surfaces may result in personal injury, and/or property damage.
MUST ALLOW AIR FLOW
To prevent personal injury, DO NOT block air intake or air vents.

What to cook in
The cooking tray is perforated to allow air to flow under and around your food, and should be used for most foods, like wings, fries and cauliflower bites.
You can place food right on the cooking tray, without using foil or other coverings.
For the Baking programme only, you can use a metal or glass baking dish to hold things like batter for cakes and dough for breads. Place the baking dish directly inside the cooking zone for baking.
Introduction to Zone Cooking
The Instant Vortex Plus VersaZone™ Air Fryer lets you choose how you want to cook and how much, by using different cooking zones.
Single Zone: Lets you cook food in the large 8.5 L zone, ideal for things like a whole chicken or a family-sized batch of fries.
The Vortex Plus VersaZone air fryer uses Single Zone cooking by default. See instructions on switching between Single Zone and Dual Zone below.
Dual Zone: Lets you cook two foods in two zones, three different ways:

  1. Use both zones with different smart programmes: Cook in both zones at the same time, using different programmes and settings.
  2. SyncCook: Cook in both zones at the same time, using the same programme and settings for both.
  3. SyncFinish: Cook in both zones at the same time, using different programmes and settings for each, but finish cooking at the same time.
