Important Safeguards

When using electrical appliances, in order to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock and/or injury to persons, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including:
For Your Safety
Read all instructions carefully, even if you feel you are quite familiar with the appliance.

Electrical safety and cord handling

• Voltage: Make sure your outlet voltage and circuit frequency correspond to the voltage stated on the appliance rating label. If it does not match, contact our after-sales support line and do not use the appliance.
• Connection: Insert the plug properly into an earthed mains socket. Make sure the socket is within easy reach so the plug can easily be removed if necessary.
• Electrical circuit: To avoid an electrical circuit overload do not use a high wattage appliance on the same circuit as the Steam Air Fryer.
• Do not immerse: To protect against electric shock, do not immerse the cord, plug, or the electric base in water or other liquid. If the base is accidentally immersed, immediately unplug the power plug, dry the appliance and have it checked by qualified service personnel.
• Protect from moisture: Do not expose the electrical connections to water. Do not use the appliance, or touch the plug, with wet or damp hands, on a damp floor, or when the electric base is wet.
• Power cord: A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the hazards resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. However, if an extension cord must be used, make sure its marked electrical rating is the same as the product. Arrange the extended cord so it will not drape over the table or benchtop where it can be pulled on or tripped over accidentally. Do not kink, bend, squash, strain, or damage the power cord and protect it from sharp edges and heat. Do not let the cord hang over the edge of a table or benchtop, or touch hot surfaces.
• Damage: Check the power cord regularly for visible damage. If it is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its authorized service centers, or similarly qualified personnel in order to avoid any hazards. Do not pick up or operate an appliance with a damaged cord or plug, or after the appliance malfunctions or has been dropped or damaged in any manner. In case of damage, call our after-sales support line for advice on repair or return of the damaged product.
• Unattended: Do not leave the appliance unattended when plugged in.
• After use: Unplug the appliance after use. Wait until it has cooled completely before attempting to move or clean it.
• Disconnect: Always unplug the power cord when the appliance is not in use. When unplugging the appliance, grip by the plug, do not pull by the cord.
• RCD: Unless your home is already fitted with a residual current device (safety switch), we recommend installing an RCD with a rated residual operating current not exceeding 30mA to provide additional safety protection when using electrical appliances. See your electrician for professional advice.

CAUTION: Hot Surfaces & Steam!

The Steam Air Fryer and accessories will become very hot during use. Do not come into contact with heated parts while or after using the Steam Air Fryer! Only touch the handles and control knobs while the Steam Air Fryer is in operation or immediately after it has been switched off. The appliance needs approximately 30 minutes to cool down. Wait until the Steam Air Fryer has cooled down and make sure all components are clean and dry fully before it is transported, cleaned, or stored away. Use oven gloves if necessary when handling the hot accessories. Remove the basket! Also, be careful of hot steam and air when you remove the basket from the appliance.

• Free space: Do not place the appliance against a wall or against other appliances. Hot air up to 160 Degrees and hot steam expels through the rear vent of the appliance. Leave at least 30cm clearance around the entire appliance, including directly above it. Additional care should be taken when placing appliances on bench top surfaces or near splashbacks where such materials (Acrylics, timber, etc.), do not have the high heat resistant properties, so advised to place them on top of a heat-resistant material between bench and appliance and further away from wall surfaces/splash backs.
• Safe distance: During the cooking process, hot steam and hot air are released through the air outlet openings. Keep your hands and face at a safe distance from the steam and form the air outlet openings.

Note! For cooking of some ingredients, it requires you to toss the contents of the basket halfway during the cooking process to ensure even cooking and to avoid charring of ingredients positioned on the top of the basket. Where indicated to do so, you can remove the basket without affecting the timing and, after tossing, place it back into the appliance to resume cooking.

Tips

• Generally, it is not necessary to preheat the Steam Air Fryer. When preparing food that is to be ready “on the dot”, it is advisable to extend the cooking time by 3-5 minutes.
• Cooking times are dependent on the size and quantity of the food and on the cooking temperature. However, in general, the cooking times are shorter than in a conventional oven. Start with shorter cooking times and then adapt the cooking times to your personal taste.
• Generally, no oil is required for preparing food. You can add oil to your food to enhance the taste by spraying your food with a little oil from the oil atomizer (not included).
• The steaming function mainly uses high-temperature steam to cook the food, keeping your food fresh and tender. It also fully preserves the nutritional components of the food.
• When preparing mass-produced frozen products, you should follow the times and temperatures specified by the manufacturer. Before the specified cooking time elapses, check whether the food is already cooked through because the cooking time can be slightly shorter than in a conventional oven.
