Default cooking temperatures and times: these are pre-programmed as indicative settings only. Manual adjustment may be required to adjust depending on quantity, size and food temperature.

General Cooking Notes:

• At the completion of any preset cooking duration, check whether the food items are ready. If not, you can simply adjust the time and cook for an extra few minutes.
• You can also use the air fryer to reheat foods that have been stored in the refrigerator or at room temperature. To reheat, set the temperature to 180degC for 5 minutes. Heating requirements will differ depending on the volume of food to be heated and the desired temperature, closely monitor.
• Never overfill the baskets, food items should never go beyond the top of the basket. A fuller basket will require a longer cooking time and will result in food that’s not quite as crisp as a basket with a smaller amount of food.
• Adding a small amount of oil to food can make them crispier. Oil sprays are good for applying small amounts of oil evenly to food.
• Foods that are covered benefit from the convection’s even heat and will cook faster without any moisture loss.
• The high temperature air circulation produces roasted foods that are golden brown on the outside and juicy and tender on the inside.
• Even cooking means that you can use more than one rack and you do not have to turn foods or rotate baking trays.
• If you want to cook a food for a time and temperature that is not listed on the preset function menu, simply choose the closest preset function and then follow the instructions to alter the time and temperature to suit.

TROUBLE SHOOTING

mains plug into an earthed wall socket.
The food is not cooked properly| The basket has been over-filled with food| Put smaller batches of food in the air fryer basket. Smaller batches are fried more evenly.
The cooking time is too short.| Set the time to an extended temperature setting on the control panel.
The set temperature is too low.| Adjust the temperature to a higher temperature setting.
Fried snacks are not crispy when they come out of the air fryer.| You used a type of snack meant to be prepared in a traditional deep fryer.| Use oven snacks or lightly brush some oil onto the snacks for a crispier result.
A burning smell or smoke is emitted| The drip tray still contains grease residues from previous use.| White smoke can be caused by spilt oils and grease heating near the element. Make sure you clean the oven after each use.
French fries are fried unevenly in the air fryer.| The incorrect potato type was used| Use fresh potatoes and make sure they stay firm during frying.
The potato pieces were not properly rinsed before you fried them.| Rinse the potato pieces properly to remove starch from the surface. For best results, soak freshly peeled, cut and washed potato fries in water overnight to extract excess starch, this prevents fries sticking to each other & helps to achieve crispy fries.
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 fries.| Ensure the potato fries are dried before oiling them.
Cut the potato fries smaller for a crispier result.
Add slightly more oil for a crispier result.
