This product features the exclusive Copper Infused DuraCeramicTM coating from Sunbeam®. This specialised natural ceramic coating is designed to transfer heat quicker and more efficiently than standard non-stick coatings – meaning faster cooking times for your delicious home‑cooked meals. In addition, the Copper Infused DuraCeramicTM coating is scratch resistant and is PTFE and PFOA free, so not only is this exclusive coating durable and easy to clean, it’s also natural and super safe for the whole family.

NOTE: Never immerse any part of the air fryer body, power cord or plug in water or any other liquid. Before assembling or disassembling your air fryer, ensure it is unplugged and all parts are cool.

Unpack the appliance and remove all packaging, promotional materials and stickers. Remove the cardboard from underneath the air fry basket. Remove all printed documents. Wash the inner basket. Basket handle in hot soapy water. Rinse then dry all of the parts. Wipe the body and lid with a damp cloth only—see page 7 for cleaning instructions.

We recommend that you wash the inner basket by hand only, in order to preserve the Copper Infused DuraCeramic™ coating.

Guide To Oils And Fats

Using your Air Fryer to cook food will help you to reduce the amount of oil needed in some recipes, which may benefit your diet.
The table below lists some of the more widely available, popular oils. All of them can be used in your Air Fryer. However, for best results, we recommend Vegetable or Rapeseed oil.

Adds a nutty flavour.
Grape Seed oil| Shallow, deep and stir frying.
You can also use low calorie cooking spray in your Air Fryer.| Always ensure that the ingredients are evenly coated with oil.

Cooking Guide

Your Air Fryer can be used to cook fresh or frozen foods. Always ensure that the ingredients are evenly coated with oil.

1. Plug the Air Fryer into an electrical outlet.

2. Turn the temperature control knob to the required temperature.

3. To switch the Air Fryer on, turn the time control knob to the desired cooking time. The power and heating lights will illuminate.

4. Use the handle to gently pull the cooking tray from the Air Fryer. Place food in the removable cooking basket and replace the tray back into the air fryer properly. If the tray is not inserted properly, the appliance will not operate.

5. To ensure crispiness, some foods require shaking halfway through the cooking process. To do this, pull the cooking tray out of the appliance by the handle and gently shake/stir the food. Then slide the tray back into the air fryer and continue to cook.
   Note: Do not press the basket release button on the handle while shaking the cooking tray. Make sure the basket release shield is in place to prevent accidental release of the basket from the tray.

6. When you hear the timer bell, the set cooking time has finished. Pull the tray out of the appliance and place it on a heat resistant surface. Check if the foods are ready. If not, simply put back into the Air Fryer and set the time for a few extra minutes.

7. When the food is ready, carefully pull the cooking basket from the Air Fryer and place on heat resistant surface, then push the clear basket release shield forward with your thumb. Press the basket release button and lift the basket out of the tray. Empty basket of food into serving bowl or plate. For larger or fragile items, use tongs to lift the food out of the basket.

8. Do not use metallic utensils to take food residues out from the cooking tray or the cooking basket.

9. Use heat resistant, non-metallic utensils, to take out food from the removable cooking basket.

Cooking Popular, Convenience And Frozen Foods

The following table provides basic cooking guidelines for popular, convenience and frozen foods. 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, we’ve kept the 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 fryer basket 1-2 times throughout the cooking cycle.
