    • Turn the Timer Dial anti-clockwise to ‘0’. Switch the wall switch off and unplug the power cable from the wall socket. (henceforth “switching the appliance off” is intended to include the steps above).
    • Be aware that smoke will be emitted for several minutes as the oils used in the manufacturing process is burnt off. This is normal.
    • DO NOT place the hot Glass Frying Pan into running water directly after use to avoid cracking. Leave to cool to room temperature first.
    • DO NOT turn the Timer Dial and Temperature Dial too hard so as to avoid any damage.
    • Make sure to remove any label or protective sheet which may prevent its proper functioning.

16. The fat-free air fryer uses the technology of hot air heating. During the period of heating, foods containing a high level of moisture may lead to high temperature steam being emitted from the air outlet. To avoid scalding,
    DO NOT:

    • cover the appliance during functioning;
    • obstruct totally nor partially the Air Inlet & Outlet;
    • insert objects inside the protection cover of the appliance;
    • touch any part of the appliance (especially the interior) except the Handle and Temperature & Timer Dials as the appliance becomes exceedingly hot during and after operation. Do note that foods and accompanying liquids & gases inside the appliance, and the appliance itself, would still be very hot during heating and for some time after the plug has been pulled out of the wall socket;
    • place the following items in the Glass Frying Pan during heating as they may create a fire or risk of electric shock.
    • foods without removing the wrappers (including plastic, paper or metal) first;
    • oversized foods;
    • oil, grease or fat;
    • utensils or containers constructed of any materials (including but not limited to: cardboard,
    • plastic, paper, ceramic, metal or glass);
    • sealed pouches containing food/liquids as these may explode during heating; metal foil covering the holes in the Basket Tray or any part of the air fryer (e.g. over the

HOW TO USE

The fat-free air fryer can be used to cook many types of food.

1. Pull out the Glass Frying Pan carefully from the air fryer using the Handle.

2. Fill the Glass Frying Pan with 1 inch of water (pic 1).

3. Insert the Basket Tray into the Glass Frying Pan (pic 2). Put food into the Basket Tray.

4. Push the Glass Frying Pan back into the appliance using the Handle and observe that it shuts tightly.

5. To turn on the appliance:

   • Turn the Timer Dial anti-clockwise to ‘OFF’.
   • Plug the power cable into the wall socket and switch it ON.
   • Turn the Temperature Dial to the required temperature.
   • Turn the Timer Dial clockwise to a suitable heating duration, up to 60 minutes.
     ( Note: when starting with cold food, add 3 minutes to the cooking duration).
     Heating will commence and the Timer starts counting down.

6. Check to see if the food has been cooked properly as some foods require overturning in the middle of cooking. To do so, pull out the Glass Frying Pan from the fryer using the Handle, and then perform the overturn. After that, push the Glass Frying Pan back into the air fryer using the Handle.

7. Should you decide to discontinue heating before the Timer runs out, make sure to set the Timer Dial back to ‘0’; this avoids the appliance from operating with an empty load.
   Cooking tips for common ingredients

8. Once the Timer Dial reaches ‘0’, heating will stop. Switch the wall switch off and unplug the power cable from the wall socket. Pull the Glass Frying Pan out of the air fryer using the Handle, and put the pan on a heat-resistant surface.

9. Pour the food on the Basket Tray into plates or bowls. To remove bigger pieces or fragile food ingredients, you can use clamps to take them out from the Basket Tray.

10. After completing the cooking of one batch of food, the air fryer is ready to cook another batch of food.

Note:

1. At any time, opening the appliance by pulling the Glass Frying Pan out will cease heating and pushing it back in will resume heating. The Timer countdown ceases during the pause. However, DO NOT pull out the Glass Frying Pan unnecessarily during operation and always wear protective, insulated oven gloves and use a utensil with a long handle when inserting or removing items from the hot appliance.
2. Smaller pieces of food require less time for cooking.
3. During the process of cooking, overturning the smaller pieces can help distribute heat more evenly.
4. By adding small amounts of oil to the food prior to frying, the food can be made crispier. After adding the oil, set the food for several minutes before frying them in the air fryer.
5. Foods that can be cooked in the oven (e.g. chicken nuggets, French Fries and mozzarella sticks) can also be cooked in the air fryer. Optimal weight of fries is 500 grams.
6. Using pre-made store bought dough instead of homemade dough, requires a shorter cooking time.
7. According to the USDA (United States Department of Agriculture), the recommended safe cooking temperatures for the following food ingredients are as follows:

“Rest time” is the amount of time the product remains at the final temperature, after it has been removed from a grill, oven or other heat source. During the three minutes after meat is removed the heat source, its temperature remains constant or continues to rise, which destroys harmful bacter.

DO NOT preheat these foods

1. Thick pieces of frozen meat, fish or raw food that needs to be cooked all the way through.
2. Delicate foods or vegetables cut into small pieces.
3. Breads, pastries and cake.

You can preheat these foods:

1. Leftovers and smaller pieces of food.
2. Thin pieces of chicken tenders, pork chops or steaks if you want a crispy crust and sear.
3. Pre-cooked frozen foods like French fries, cheese sticks or fish sticks.

PROBLEM-SOLVING

into the wall socket

2.  The Timer was not set

| 1.  Insert the plug into the grounded wall socket

2.  Switch the appliance ON. Set the Timer to the desired cooking duration

Food ingredients cooked by the Glass Frying Pan not cooked thoroughly| 1. Excess amounts of ingredients on the Basket Tray

2.  The heating temperature was set too low

3.  The cooking time was too short

| 1.  Put the food onto the Basket Tray in small batches, so heat can be evenly distributed

2.  Set the temperature higher

3.  Set the Timer longer

Food not baked evenly on the Basket Tray| Some food should be overturned during the process of cooking| Food pieces located on the top/bottom of the Basket Tray, or joined together (e.g. fried chips), must be overturned and thoroughly mixed during the cooking process
Fried foods are not crispy| The fried foods you chose cannot be baked in an air fryer, but require a traditional fryer| Add some oil to the food items, let it stand for a few minutes before frying to increase their crispy quality
White smoke coming out of the product| 1.  You are cooking food with a high content of oil

2.  Oil from last use remains inside of the Glass Frying Pan

| High oil-content foods will release large amounts of oil which will drip onto the Glass Frying Pan / Leftover oil on the Glass Frying Pan produces white smoke. This will not affect the end result
French fries are not fried evenly inside the Glass Frying Pan| French fries were not soaked adequately before the frying Oil was not evenly coated throughout| Use fresh potatoes of the correct type and make sure that they will not break open in the process of frying

Since crispiness is decided by the moisture & oil-content in the fries:

1. Make sure to rinse & drain the fries thoroughly before adding oil to them

2. Cut the fries into smaller sizes

3. Add small amounts of oil to the fries
