Please note that due to the variations in thickness and size of foods being cooked, cooking results may vary. Always ensure that the food is thoroughly cooked before consuming.

Before First Use

Before using your Air Fryer Oven for the first time, unpack the appliance and remove all packaging, promotional materials and stickers from the product. Remove any plastic or cardboard from inside the cooking compartment. Remove all printed documents.
Clean the Air Fryer Oven and all accessories with a damp cloth, using only milk, and soapy water.

Preparing Your Air Fryer Oven

1. Place on a flat, level, heat-resistant surface.
2. Plug the cord into a 230-240V power outlet and turn Power ( ) on. All available functions will illuminate.
3. Select the Match function (1=2) then Air Fry, and press Start/Pause ( ). The Air Fryer Oven will run for 15 minutes to eliminate any remaining manufacture residue

Usage Instructions

Configuring Your Air Fryer Oven

1. The Air Fryer Oven can be used as two separate cooking compartments where each side can be programmed with different functions, times and temperatures, or as one large 11L cooking compartment by removing the Middle Partition.
2. After deciding on your configuration place the Air Fryer Oven on a flat surface and plug in.

Removing the Middle Partition

1. Ensure the Air Fryer Oven is cool. DO NOT remove the Middle Partition while the Air Fryer Oven is hot.
2. Open both compartment doors.
3. Pull the Middle Partition towards you to slide it out of the Air Fryer Oven.
4. The Large Roasting Tray or Air Fry Tray can be used when the partition is removed.
5. All functions and presets can be used when cooking in the large cooking compartment, however, ‘1’, ‘2’, ‘Sync’
   ( ) and ‘Match’ (1=2) are not relevant to the large cooking compartment and so will not be available to select.

Re-inserting the Middle Partition

1. Ensure the Air Fryer Oven is cool. DO NOT insert the partition whilst the Air Fryer Oven is hot.
2. Fully open both compartment doors.
3. There is no ‘wrong way’ when re-inserting the Middle Partition. Align into the slots at the top and bottom of the cooking compartment and push gently until it touches the back wall. Once in place the Air Fryer Oven will register it has been inserted and the user interface will allow you to set the program for the cooking compartments separately.
   NOTE: If the doors will not close properly the Middle Partition has not been inserted into the cooking compartment correctly.

Choosing Your Accessories

• When using the Air Fry Tray place the Roasting Tray on the rail below or on the bottom of the cooking compartment to collect any oil or crumbs.

• For best results when using the Roasting Trays and Air Fry Trays together in the same compartment, the Roasting Tray should be placed on the lower rail only, with the Air Fry Tray positioned above. This allows for better airflow and evenly cooked food.

• When using the Baskets ensure the airflow trays are fully inserted until the rubber feet are on the bottom of the basket.

• When cooking frozen food using all 4 trays at once, we recommend increasing your cooking time by 3-4 minutes.
  NOTE: When using the Roasting Tray on the highest shelf position, food with a high fat content can create more smoke, due to the proximity of the heating element.

• For best results and when baking larger cakes, bread and cookies, we advise baking with the Middle Partition removed and the Large Roasting Tray placed on the bottom of the oven, with the basket or your own bakeware placed on the roasting tray. This allows better airflow around your chosen bakeware.

Program – one side or large compartment only

1. Add food to your chosen accessory and place inside the cooking compartment, then close the door.
2. Press the power button ( ).
3. Press the compartment button ‘1’ or ‘2’ according to where you’ve placed the food (not required when the Middle Partition is removed).
4. Choose the desired Function or Preset, or Manual.
5. If necessary, adjust the time ( ) or temperature ( ) using the (+) and (-) buttons.
6. Press Start ( ).

Program – both sides with the same settings (MATCH available)

1. Add food to your chosen accessories and place inside the cooking compartments, then close the doors.
2. Press the power button ( ).
3. Press the Match button (1=2). The digital displays over both sides will be on during programming because these settings will apply to both sides (so you don’t have to program each side separately).
4. Choose the desired Function or Preset, or Manual.
5. If necessary, adjust the time (  ) or temperature (  ) using the (+) and (-) buttons.
6. Press Start ( ).

Program – both sides with different settings (SYNC available)

1. Add food to your chosen accessories and place it inside the cooking compartments, then close the doors.

2. Press the power button ( ).

3. Press the Button ‘1’ to program that compartment.

4. Choose the desired Function or Preset, or Manual.

5. If necessary, adjust the time (  ) or temperature ( ) using the (+) and (-) buttons.

6. Press the Button ‘2’ to program that compartment and repeat steps 4 and 5. You can even choose the same function or preset but with a different time or temperature if you wish.

7. If each side has different cooking times but you wish both to finish together, press the SYNC button ( ).
   NOTE: to ensure optimum cooking there is a maximum holding time difference allowed between each side. If you require a greater time difference than the unit will allow then delay adding your food to that side by that extra amount of time.

8. Press Start ( ).

Cooking

1. After pressing Start ( ) the cooking compartment light will illuminate, the heat and fan will switch on and the time display will count down.

2. The light button ( ) can be pressed during cooking if you need to check your food with the door closed. It will automatically switch off after 30 seconds.

3. Press the Start/Pause button ( ) at any time to pause cooking, which suspends the time and switches off the heat. Re-press the button to continue cooking.

4. Opening the door during cooking will pause the program, suspend the timer and switch off the heat. Closing the door will automatically restart the program and continue cooking.

5. An audible alert will sound (5 times) and display ‘FLIP’ halfway through your programmed time as a reminder to turn your food or shake the Basket for even cooking (see Cooking Guide for more details).
   NOTE: If your food does not require turning you can ignore the beep. The audible alert will not sound when the bake or roast function are in use because foods cooking under these settings are unlikely to require turning.

6. Both compartment lights will illuminate 1 minute before the end to alert you that cooking is almost finished.

7. When cooking is finished an audible alert will sound (3 times) and the compartment lights will illuminate for 10 seconds before the Air Fryer Oven automatically turns itself off.

8. Press the Power button ( ) at any time to cancel cooking or to re-program.

Additional Functions

• Turbo Crisp: If your food needs a final crisping, you can use the Turbo Crisp function for an additional 10 minutes of cooking: when normal cooking has finished press this button (it defaults to 10 minutes) and press Start ( ).
• SYNC ( ): Automatically syncs both cooking compartments to finish cooking at the same time even if they have different cooking times. The compartment with the longest cook time will start first, then the shorter cook time will begin, allowing both compartments to finish at the same time. This is ideal for cooking fast food-style items, whether frozen or chilled. The maximum time difference between each side is pre-set to a maximum of 45 minutes, to allow the finished food quality of both compartments to be at their optimum. If a time difference greater than 45 minutes is set the display will flash bot timers will return to zero, and the air fryer will not start. Simply re-program the timers to be within a maximum difference of 45 minutes, press Sync, and then Start.
• MATCH (1=2): The match button automatically sets both cooking compartments to the same time and temperature. This function can be used if you are cooking a large amount of the same food or different foods with the same cooking time and temperature. NOTE: When using the Sync or Match function both cooking compartments will pause cooking if only one door is opened. This is to allow the food to finish cooking at the same time. Once both doors are closed cooking will continue.

Helpful Tips

• During cooking, if the door is left open for 5 minutes or more the Air Fryer Oven will go to sleep. Press the Power ( ) button to wake.

• To remove the Baskets from the Air Fryer Oven use the Removable Handle. Squeeze the Handle to insert into the clasp on the Basket and use the same action to remove the Handle.
  CAUTION: Do not remove hot Baskets without the handle.

• Use a thick kitchen towel or oven-proof gloves to remove Trays from the warm cooking compartment.

• After cooking remove food with a heat-safe cooking utensil. Do not put hot Baskets, Trays or food onto a non-heatproof surface. Use caution when tipping the Baskets to remove food to avoid spilling oil or hot liquids.

• When not in use, the large and small Roasting Trays and large Air Fry trays will nest together and be stored in the Storage Drawer.

• The Baskets and small Air Fry Trays will be stored in the Cooking Compartments when not in use.

• If one side is already cooking and you wish to add food to the other side, press Start/Pause ( ), then program the other side as per instructions “Program – one side or large compartment only”. Add food and press Start/Pause( ). Both sides will now cook together.

• Do not use metal utensils in combination with the accessories. Silicone-based utensils are recommended.

• When baking, we recommend placing bakeware on top of the Roasting Trays. This allows air to flow underneath the bakeware. The Baskets, with Airflow Trays removed, are also suitable for baking.

Care and Cleaning

To clean after use
Caution: Always unplug your air fryer oven and allow it to cool completely before cleaning it. NEVER immerse the oven, power cord or plug in water or any other liquid.
The air fryer oven interior can be wiped with a damp cloth using warm, soapy water.

CAUTION: Do not immerse in water.

• Using abrasive cleaners, scrubbing brushes and chemical cleaners will damage the unit.
• Empty the Baskets and Trays frequently to avoid an accumulation of crumbs.
• Baskets, Trays, Removable Dividers and Handles are all dishwasher safe.

Cooking

Guide to cooking popular foods in your air fryer oven

• The table on the next page provides basic cooking guidelines for popular foods that can be cooked using the food functions and presets:
  • Functions: Air Fry, Turbo Crisp, Roast, Grill, Bake, Reheat.
  • Presets: Fries, Chicken, Meat, Vegetables.
• Please note that due to the variations in thickness and size of the foods being cooked some experimentation may be required for the best cooking results. Always ensure that the food is thoroughly cooked to food-safe temperature throughout before consuming.
• When cooking fresh fries, keep oil quantities as low as possible for the healthiest results. However, if you feel the fries are a little pale and require further browning, increase the quantity of oil slightly.
  Note: For crispier results, it is recommended to shake the basket 2-4 times throughout the cooking cycle.
  For larger quantities, (1kg) increase cooking times and toss food more frequently.
