HOW TO USE

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

1. Pull the Frying Pan out of the air fryer using the Handle.

2. Insert the Grill Plate into the Frying Pan by aligning the hook of the plate into the compartment of the pan.

3. Put food onto the Grill Plate.

4. Push the Frying Pan back into the air fryer using the Handle.

5. To turn on the appliance:

   • Insert the plug into the grounded socket and switch the socket ON.

   • Turn the Temperature knob clockwise (found at the top of the appliance) to select the desired temperature.

   • Turn the Timer knob clockwise (found at the front of the appliance) to select the desired duration of heating.
     ( Note: when starting with cold food, add 3 minutes to the cooking duration)

6. The heating light will turn on, and the Timer starts counting down. During the
   operation of the air fryer, the heating light will turn on and off continuously. This indicates that the heating elements are turning on and off in order to maintain the set temperature. The leftover oil from the food ingredients will be collected at the bottom of the Frying Pan.

7. Some foods require overturning in the middle of cooking. To do so, pull the Frying Pan out of the air fryer using the Handle, and then perform the overturn. After that, push the Frying Pan back into the air fryer using the Handle.
   Notice: DO NOT press the demounting button of the Grill Plate during the process of overturning.

8. The beeping of the Timer indicates that the frying has ceased. Alternatively, you can turn the Timer knob anti-clockwise to turn the frying off manually. Pull the Frying Pan out of the air fryer using the Handle, and put the pan on a heatresistant surface.

9. Check to see if the food has been cooked properly.

10. To pour out smaller pieces of food (e.g. chips), press the demounting button of the grill plate (1), and take the grill plate out of the frying pan (2). Pour the food on the Grill Plate into plates or bowls. To remove bigger pieces or fragile food ingredients, you can use clamps to take them out from the Grill Plate DO NOT overturn the Grill Plate before demounting for this will cause the leftover oil collected at the bottom of the frying pan to leak onto the food.

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

12. Switch the socket switch OFF and detach the 3-pin plug from the socket on the wall.

Note

1. Smaller pieces of food require less time for cooking.
2. During the process of cooking, overturning the smaller pieces can help distribute heat more evenly.
3. 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.
4. 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.
5. Using pre-made store-bought dough instead of homemade dough, requires a shorter cooking time.
6. According to the USDA (United States Department of Agriculture), the recommended safe cooking temperatures for the following food ingredients are as follows:

63 ºC (145 ºF)

|

3 min

Ground meats of Pork, Beef, Veal, Lamb|

71 ºC (160 ºF)

|

—

All poultry products, including ground chicken and turkey

|

74 ºC (165 ºF)

|

—

“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 bacteria.

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. reads, 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.

HOW TO CLEAN

1. Disconnect plug, remove the Frying Pan and wait until the appliance has cooled down completely.
2. Always clean cooking appliances soon after use. This will prevent food from sticking to the appliance and reduce the possibility of bacterial growth. It will also reduce the likelihood of the utensils being stained or discoloured.
3. The inside of the Frying Pan & Grill Plate are covered with a non-stick coat. DO NOT use metal kitchen wares or abrasive cleaning materials as these will damage the non-stick coat. DO NOT use detergents or chemicals like benzene, thinner, polishing powder.
4. Add hot water into the Frying Pan together with some detergent. Put the Grill Plate into the Frying Pan, and then soak the Frying Pan and the Grill Plate for 10 minutes. Use hot water and a non-abrasive sponge to remove the oil and detergent.
5. The outside of the appliance can be cleaned with a dishwashing agent and a damp cloth, and immediately wiped dry. DO NOT use a scrubbing brush.
6. Never run water over the appliance as malfunctions may occur if water seeps inside the appliance.
7. Use a vacuum cleaner to suck up dirt from the air intake and air outlet.
8. Use a cleaning brush to clean the heating components, sweeping away any remaining food residues.

PROBLEM-SOLVING

The frying pan does not work

|

1. The plug of the appliance is not inserted into the power socket
2.  The timer was not set

| ****

1.  Insert the plug into the grounded power socket
2. Set    the    timer    to    the    desired          cooking duration, and then turn on the power

Food ingredients cooked by the frying pan not cooked thoroughly

|

1.  Too much food ingredients on the grill plate
2.  The heating temperature was set too low
3.  The cooking time was too short

|

1.  Put the food into the grill plate in small batches, so the heat can be evenly distributed
2.  Set the temperature to the desired cooking temperature
3. Set the timer to the desired cooking duration

Food not baked evenly on the grill plate| Some food should be overturned during the process of cooking| Food pieces located on the top/bottom of the grill plate, 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 frying pan

|

1. High oil-content foods will release large amounts of oil fumes, which will drip onto the frying pan causing the temperature to be hotter than usual. This will not affect the food
2.  White smoke produced by heating the oil and fat leftover inside the frying pan. Make sure to clean the frying pan each time after using

Fresh crisps are not fried evenly inside the frying pan

| ****

Potato chips were not soaked adequately before the frying

| Use fresh potatoes, and make sure that they will not split in the process of frying.

Since crispiness is decided by the moisture & oil content in the potato chips:

1.  Make    sure    to    drain   the    potato              chips correctly before adding oil to them
2.  Cut the potato chips into smaller sizes
3. Add small amounts of oil to the potato chips
