Features

Cleaning

Before using your air fryer for the first time you will need to clean it to remove any residue from manufacturing:

1. Place your air fryer on a stable level heat resistant surface within easy reach of a mains socket.
   Leave approximately 10 cm of free space around the fryer.
   

2. Pull the frying basket out of the fryer.
   

3. Wash the frying basket and basket insert in warm soapy water. Rinse all of the items and dry with a soft cloth. The frying basket and insert can also be cleaned in the dishwasher.
   

4. Wipe the inside surface of the air fryer with a soft damp cloth then wipe dry with a dry cloth. Do not wipe the heating element.
   
   IMPORTANT : NEVER immerse the air fryer, power cord or plug in water or any liquid. Never use abrasive cleaning agents on any parts of the air fryer.
   IMPORTANT : Ensure the frying basket is fully dried after cleaning, before placing back into the air fryer body.

5. Slot the basket insert into the frying basket and push down until it is resting on the ledge in the bottom of the frying basket.
   

6. Slot the frying basket back into the air fryer. Push inwards until it locks in place with a ‘Click’.
   

7. Wipe the outside of the air fryer with a soft damp cloth then dry.
   

8. Your air fryer is now ready for use.
   

Using Your Air Fryer

IMPORTANT : When using your air fryer for the first time there may be a slight odour. This is normal for a new cooking appliance, we recommend operating the appliance at the maximum temperature setting for 10 minutes before adding food.

Pre-heating

1. Ensure the Temperature dial is turned anti-clockwise as far as it will go and the Time dial is set to OFF. Slot the plug on the air fryer into a mains socket and turn the power on if required.
   

2. Turn the Temperature dial to the desired cooking temperature, see the ‘Cooking guide’ on pages 11 & 12.
   

3. Turn the Timer dial to 10 minutes (10 on the dial).
   
   NOTE : If you want to turn the air fryer off, turn the time dial anti- clockwise to the OFF position.

4. When you turn the Timer dial the HEATING light will come on. The HEATING light will go out once the air fryer has heated up to the desired temperature.
   
   After 10 minutes you will hear a ‘Ping’ and your air fryer will switch off automatically.
   NOTE : The HEATING light will come on periodically, which is perfectly normal and is simply an indication the appliance is getting back up to the necessary temperature.
   Cooking

5. Pull the frying basket out of the front of the air fryer and place the ingredients into the basket.
   IMPORTANT : The frying basket will be very hot. Take care when handling and always stand on a heat proof surface.
   

6. Load the ingredients into the frying basket.
   
   NOTE : Don’t overfill the basket. For best results, only fill the basket halfway with food, such as chips. Hot air needs to circulate around the food to give even cooking results and a crispy finish. Larger quantities may require a longer cooking time and shaking more often during cooking.
   Slot the frying basket back into the fryer and turn the Timer dial to the desired cooking time, see ‘Cooking guide’ on .
   NOTE : Some foods will need to be shaken during the cooking process, see page 11 & 12.

7. When the cooking time finishes you will hear a ‘PING’.
   

8. Leave the fryer for 30 seconds then pull the frying basket out of the front of the fryer and serve the food.
   NOTE : If the food hasn’t cooked in the given time, simply put the food back into the fryer and set the timer for a few more minutes.
   

Tips

• Smaller ingredients usually require a slightly shorter cooking time than larger ingredients.
• A larger amount of ingredients only requires a slightly longer cooking time, a smaller amount of ingredients only requires a slightly shorter cooking time.
• Shaking smaller ingredients halfway through the cooking time improves the end result and can help prevent unevenly fried ingredients.
• Add some oil to fresh potatoes for a crispy result. Fry your ingredients in the air fryer within a few minutes after you added the oil.
• Do not cook extremely greasy ingredients in the air fryer.
• Snacks that can be cooked in an oven can also be cooked in the air fryer
• The optimal amount for cooking crispy fries is approximately 500 grams.
• Use pre-made dough to prepare filled snacks quickly and easily. Premade dough also requires a shorter cooking time than home-made dough.
• Place a baking tin or oven dish in the air fryer basket if you want to bake a cake or quiche or if you want to fry fragile ingredients or filled ingredients.
• You can also use the air fryer to reheat food. To reheat food, set the temperature to 150°C for up to 10 minutes.

Cooking Guide

The table below will help you to select the basic settings for the ingredients.
Note : Keep in mind that these settings are indications ONLY. As ingredients differ in size, shape as well as brand, we cannot guarantee the best setting for the ingredients you use. You can remove the fryer basket briefly from the appliance during cooking (e.g. to shake food) ; due to the hot air circulation this barely disturbs the cooking process.

IMPORTANT : If you are using the fryer from cold add 3 minutes to the time.

Troubleshooting

into a mains socket.
You have not set the timer.| Turn the timer knob to the required preparation time to switch the appliance on.
The ingredients are still raw or uncooked.| There is too much food in the frying basket.| Reduce the amount of food you are frying or cook in two batches.
The temperature is set too low.| Turn the temperature knob to a higher temperature setting (see the cooking guide on page 12 & 13 for more information).
The cooking time is too short.| Turn the timer knob to a longer cooking time (see the cooking guide on pages 12 & 13 for more information).
The ingredients are cooked unevenly.| Certain types of ingredients need to be shaken halfway through the cooking time.| Ingredients that lay 0n top  of  or across other items (e.g. fries) must be shake11 halfway through the cooking time.
Fried snacks are not crispy when they come out of the fryer.| You used a type of s11ack that can only be cooked in a traditional deep fryer.| Only use oven snacks or brush a small amount of oil onto the snacks for a crisper finish.
Fried snacks are not crispy when the come out of the fryer.| There is too much food in the frying basket.| Never overfill the basket. Only fill the basket halfway with food to give even cooking results and a crispy finish.
The basket has not been properly fitted into the fryer.| Push the basket into the fryer until you hear a click.
White smoke comes out of the appliance.| The ingredients are too greasy.| Certain foods with high fat content (e.g. sausages) cause a large quantity of oil to drain in the fryer basket, causing white smoke. Carefully drai11 any excess oil from the basket if this occurs; this food is not suited to air frying.
The pan still contains grease residues from previous use.| White smoke is caused by grease heating up in the pan. Make sure you clean the pan properly after each use.
Fresh chips have fried unevenly in the fryer| You did not use the right type of potato.| Use fresh potatoes and make sure they stay firm during the frying process.
You did not rinse the potato slices thoroughly before you fried them.| Always rinse the potato chips under running water to remove the starch before frying.
Fresh chips are not crispy when they come out of the fryer.| The crispness of the chips depends on the amount of oil and water in the fries.| Make sure you dry the potato chips properly before you add the oil.
The chips are too thick.| Cut the potato chips thi11ner (thinner fries give a crispier texture).
There is not enough oil.| Cover the chips in more oil before adding them to the fryer (around 1 tablespoon per 500g of fresh chips).
