CAUTION:
TO AVOID DAMAGE TO YOUR BENCHTOP AND SPLASHBACK, DO NOT PLACE AIR FRYER DIRECTLY ON THE BENCH TOP.
Please use air fryer on heatproof material and on a dry, level, and even surface. Leave a minimum distance of 20cm from walls and other heat-sensitive materials.
Do not place the appliance against a wall or against a wall or against another appliance. Hot air up to 160 Degrees expels through the rear vent of the appliance. Leave at least 20cm clearance around the entire appliance, including directly above it. Additional care should be taken when placing appliances on benchtop surfaces or near splashbacks where such materials (Acrylics, timber, stone etc.) do not have high heat resistant properties. Place the appliance on top of a heat-resistant material between bench and appliance and further away from wall surfaces/ splashbacks.

PREPARATION FOR USE:

Before using the Air Fryer Convection Oven for the first time:
Warning: when used for the first time, the appliance may emit a slight odor that is not harmful and will disappear after a few minutes. This is because a protective oil was applied to protect parts from possible friction in transport.
Carefully unpack the Air Fryer Convection Oven and remove all the packing materials.
Place the Air Fryer Convection Oven on a flat, heat-resistant non-flammable surface.
Use a soft sponge and soapy water to remove any dust on the surface that may happen during packing and transport. Allow the Air Fryer Convection Oven to dry before use.

PRODUCT USE AND ACCESSORIES:

Choose an accessory to use for different cooking styles.

Crumb tray and Baking tray/ Drip tray:
Always keep the crumb tray comes in the bottom position while using the appliance. The baking tray can also be used as drip tray. Slide it into one of the lower rack slots in the oven.
Always keep the tray in the lowest layer inside the oven for gathering oil from fried food.
Wire rack, Mesh basket:
Each of the above can be used for a wide range of foods. Each can slide into the Oven. Ideal for multi-level cooking. Rotisserie fork set: Use for roasts or a whole chicken. Force the shaft lengthways through the meat and center. Slide the forks onto the shaft from either end into the meat. Then lock it into place with the screws. There is an indentation point on the shaft for a screw. Ensure the other screw is fitted tightly to the stick. You can adjust the screws closer to the middle if needed, but never outwards towards the ends. Ensure that the roast meat or chicken is not too large and is able to rotate freely inside the Oven.

Tie up the chicken or other roast meat with cooking string to hold it tightly around the rotisserie stick.

Tray Handle:
Use to remove the drip tray, wire rack, and basket.
Fetch tool:
Use to remove cooked roasts or chicken which have been cooked using the rotisserie. Place under the rotisserie shaft and then lift gently.

Note: Please use your own oven mitts to remove accessories after the cooking is complete.

Rolling cage:

  • Great for fries, roasted nuts, popcorn and other snacks.
  • Use the rotisserie stick and one of the included screws from the rotisserie fork set to secure the baking cage to the rotisserie stick at the indentation point on the rotisserie stick.
  • Twist the screw to secure the baking cage to the rotisserie stick.

Note:

  • The ingredients inside may increase in size during the cooking process, ensuring that the heated volume of food will not touch the inside walls of the air fryer.
  • Only when the door is closed, the air fryer will operate.

MAKING HOMEMADE FRIES:

For the best results, we advise using pre-baked fries. If you want to make home-made fries, follow the steps below:

  1. Peel the potatoes and cut them into sticks.
  2. Soak the potato sticks in a bowl of water for at least 45 minutes. Take them out and dry them with paper towels.
  3. Pour 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil in a bowl, put the sticks on top and mix until the sticks are coated with oil.
  4. Remove the sticks from the bowl with your fingers or with a kitchen utensil so that excess oil stays behind in the bowl. Put the sticks on the mesh rack. 5. Fit the mesh rack inside the Air Fryer Convection Oven. 6. Cook the fries for 12 — 18 mins at 200 Degrees.
USING THE ROTISSERIE:
  • When the rotisserie stick is fitted inside the slots in the middle of the Air Fryer Convection Oven, use the BROIL or ROAST or AIRFRY pre-set mode for turning of the rotisserie.
    The rotisserie will only turn when BROIL or ROAST or AIRFRY is used.

  • The rotisserie fork is a great way to cook a roast chicken inside the Air Fryer Convection Oven as it allows even circulation and thorough cooking.

  • The max weight for the rotisserie is 3 KG.

Note: The total weight of a chicken/meat cooked using the rotisserie stick should not exceed 2.5 kg, as the rotation will scrape the drip tray (use baking tray) in the bottom of the Air Fryer Convection Oven.
Please use the mesh tray or wire rack if cooking a large chicken. Bind the legs and wings of the chicken with cooking string.

TIPS:

  • Foods that are smaller in size usually require a slightly shorter cooking time than larger ones.
  • Large quantities of food only require a slightly longer cooking time than smaller quantities.
  • Flipping or turning smaller-sized foods halfway through the cooking process ensures that all the pieces are evenly cooked.
  • Misting a bit of vegetable oil on fresh potatoes is suggested for a crispier result. When adding a little oil, do so just before cooking.
  • Snacks normally cooked in an oven can also be cooked in the Air Fryer Convection Oven.
  • Use the premade dough to prepare filled snacks quickly and easily. Premade dough also requires a shorter cooking time than homemade dough.
  • Place an oven-safe baking tin or dish (not included) inside the Air Fryer Convection Oven when baking a cake or a quiche. A tin or dish is also suggested when cooking fragile or filled foods.

TROUBLESHOOTING:

Problem Possible Cause Solution
The Air Fryer Convection Oven does not work. The appliance is not plugged
into the mains’ power. Put the mains plug in an earthed wall socket.
The oven door is not closed.  Ensure the door is closed.

The ingredients
fried with the Air Fryer Convection Oven are not done.| There are too many ingredients.| Use smaller batches for more even cooking.
The temperature is set too low.| Increase the cooking temperature.
The preparation time is too short.| Increase the cooking time.
The ingredients are fried unevenly in
the Air Fryer Convection Oven.| Certain types of ingredients need to be turned during the cooking process.| Turn the ingredients during cooking.

Chips /fries are not cooked evenly.| You did not soak the potato sticks properly before cooking.| Soak the potato sticks in a bowl of water for at least 30 minutes, then take them out and dry them with paper towels.
You did not use the right potato type.| Use fresh potatoes and make sure they stay firm during frying.
Fresh potato fries are not crispy when they come out.| The crispiness of the fries depends on the amount of oil and water in the fries.| Make sure you dry the potato sticks properly before you coat them with oil.
Cut the potato into thinner sticks for a crispier result.
White smoke comes out of the appliance.| You are preparing greasy ingredients.| Pay attention that the temperature
is well-controlled to be under 180°C, when you fry greasy ingredients in the Air Fryer
There is excess oil inside the Air Fryer Convection Oven.| Wipe down the inside of the Air Fryer Convection Oven to remove excessive oil.
