SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY
POWER CORD INSTRUCTIONS
A short power-supply cord or detachable power-supply cord is provided to reduce risks resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. Longer detachable power-supply cords or extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use. If a long detachable power- supply cord or extension cord is used:
- The marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance;
- The cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally; and
- If the appliance is of the grounded type, the cord set or extension cord should be a grounding-type 3-wire cord.
Do not pull, twist or otherwise abuse the power cord.
NOTICES
-
Some countertop and table surfaces are not designed to withstand the prolonged heat generated by certain appliances. Do not set the heated unit on a finished wood table.
We recommend placing a hot pad or trivet under your Air Fryer to prevent possible damage to the surface. -
During initial use of this appliance, some slight smoke and/or odor may be detected.
This is normal and should go away after a few uses.

BEFORE FIRST USE
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 all printed documents. Wash the inner cooking basket with hot, soapy
water.
Rinse then dry all of the parts. Wipe the body and lid with a damp cloth
only—see page 9 for cleaning instructions.
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.

COOKING
Your Air Fryer can be used to cook fresh or frozen foods. Always ensure that the ingredients are evenly coated with oil.
-
Plug the Air Fryer into an electrical outlet.
-
Turn the temperature control knob to the required temperature.
-
To switch the Air Fryer on, turn the time control knob to the desired cooking time. The power light will illuminate.
Note: For best results, add an additional 3-5 minutes for preheat before placing food in the Air Fryer. -
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.
-
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. -
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.
-
When the food is ready, carefully pull the cooking tray from the Air Fryer and 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.
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.
