Air Fryer Components Air Fryer Accessories

The Wool stead Pro Swift Digital Air Fryer Oven comes with a handy range of accessories including:

• 1 x non-stick drip tray
• 2 x non-stick air fryer racks with perforated holes
• 1 x rotating mesh air fryer basket
• 1 x rotating rotisserie spit
• 1 x rotisserie handling fork

The interior of the Wolstead Pro Swift Digital Air Fryer Oven has three rack slots – upper, middle and lower for use with the drip tray and air fryer racks.
The interior of the oven also has a rotisserie rack for use with the rotating mesh air fryer basket and rotisserie spit.
CAUTION: Always use the oven mitts when handling the accessories after use in the air fryer oven

Non-Stick Drip Tray
Use the non-stick drip tray when using the air fryer racks, rotating mesh air fryer basket, or rotisserie spit. The drip tray will collect excess grease, oil and crumbs to ensure a quick easy clean up after cooking.
To use, simply slide the drip tray into the bottom slot of the oven or place in the base of the air fryer if more room is required inside the oven cavity. Be sure to wash the drip tray thoroughly after every use.
The drip tray can also be used as a baking tray and placed higher up in the oven. When using the drip tray for baking, we recommend placing it on the middle or lower oven slots. Cooking with the baking tray on the highest slot may cause the foot to cook too fast.

Using the Non-Stick Air Fryer Racks

Use the air fryer racks for cooking a variety of foods such as chicken breast, fish or steak.
Use the air fryer racks on the top, middle or bottom oven slots. Before using, insert the drip tray on to the bottom slot of the oven or into the base of the oven cavity.
Place air racks into the oven by aligning the slots on the racks with the slots in the interior of the oven. Slide gently until the rack is securely positioned inside the oven.
For best results, rotate the air fryer racks during the cooking process. If using only one air fryer rack, use on the top slot for crispier results.
If required, line the air fryer racks with baking paper before use. This is recommended when cooking foods with loose crumbs or a high sugar content.

Rotisserie Handling Fork

Use the rotisserie handling fork to place and remove the rotating mesh basket and the rotisserie spit onto the rotisserie rack in the center of the oven.
Using the Rotating Mesh Air Fryer Basket Use the rotating mesh basket to cook fries or chips, roast nuts and cook chicken wings or vegetables. Use for foods that benefit from shaking or tumbling during the cooking process.
Before beginning, insert the drip tray into the base of the oven to collect any oil or crumbs.
Add food to the mesh air fryer basket and lock the metal lid into place by turning the lid clockwise, following the direction of the arrow on the top of the lid. Open the door of the oven and align the exterior pin of the mesh fryer basket with the black rotisserie holder on the left wall of the oven. Then align the pin on the opposite side of the basket with the right rotisserie holder.
Once the air fryer basket is in place, securely close the oven door. Set the desired cooking temperature and time by referring to the operating instructions below.
Switch the rotate function on using the  button on the touchscreen control panel and press the power button to begin cooking, or the appliance will start cooking automatically after 5 seconds.
Once the cooking process is complete, carefully remove the mesh frying basket with oven gloves or the rotisserie handling fork.

Using the Rotating Rotisserie Spit
Use the rotating rotisserie spit for foods that benefit from being rotated during the cooking process. For example, the rotisserie spit is ideal for cooking a whole chicken and ensures even browning and
caramelization of the meat.
To use the rotisserie spit, insert the rod through the center of the chicken and then slide the spikes down either side of the rod and embed into the meat. Secure the spikes by turning the thumbscrew in a clockwise direction at either end.
Open the door of the oven and align the exterior pin on the rotisserie spit with the black rotisserie holder on the left wall of the oven. Then align the pin on the opposite side of the basket with the right rotisserie holder.
Once the rotisserie spit is in place, securely close the oven door. Set the desired cooking temperature and time by referring to the operating instructions below.
Switch the rotate function on using the button on the touchscreen control panel and press the power button to begin cooking, or the appliance will start cooking automatically after 5 seconds

Food Cooking Guide

The below table provides a guide with settings for cooking a selection of popular foods in the Wolstead Pro Swift Air Fryer.

The below cooking times are a guide only and may vary depending on the quantity and density of the food being cooked. It is recommended that all meat is checked with a meat thermometer after the preset time has expired. If more time is required, continue cooking for short intervals until the food has reached desired temperature.

Unless food is pre-packaged (e.g. frozen chips) or pre-oiled, it is recommended that a small amount of oil is added to foods for crispier results

Making Home-Made Chips

For best results, it is recommended that frozen chips or fries are used in the air fryer.

To make home-made chips using fresh potatoes, follow the instructions below.

1. Select a starchy potato that is recommended for making chips, such as King Edward,
   Maris Piper, Romano, Desiree, or Russet potatoes.

2. Peel the potatoes and cut into desired thickness. Ensure all the chips have an equal thickness.

3. Soak the chips in a bowl of cold water for 30 minutes, then drain and dry on a clean tea towel. Pat dry with a paper towel. Excess moisture will prevent the chips from becoming crisp, so ensure that the chips are completely dry.

4. Add the chips to a bowl along with ½ tablespoon of oil (such as olive or vegetable) and mix thoroughly so the chips are coated with oil.

5. Using tongs or a slotted spoon, remove the chips from the bowl and add to the air frying basket. Do not tip the contents of the bowl into the air fryer basket, as excess oil should not be added to the air fryer basket.

6. Cook chips at 200°C for 15-20 minutes, shaking 2-3 times during the cooking process. Check progress throughout cooking time.

Air Fryer Cooking Tips

• Any food that can be prepared in a traditional oven can be prepared in the Wolstead
  Pro Swift Digital Air Fryer Oven.

• Frying in smaller batches will result in shorter cooking times and better cooking results.

• Smaller foods and smaller quantities of food typically require shorter cooking times than larger foods or larger quantities of food.

• To avoid food sticking to the surface of the air frying racks or the rotating mesh basket, add some cooking oil spray to the surface prior to adding the ingredients.

• Always pat wet food dry before cooking to encourage browning and ensure a crispy result.

• Rotating the air fryer racks halfway through the cooking time optimizes results and can help prevent uneven cooking.

• Add a small amount of oil to fresh potatoes when making home-made chips.

• Do not cook extremely greasy foods in the air fryer.

• Allow cooked foods to rest for 3-5 minutes after cooking is complete. Remove the frying basket and set on a flat, heat resistant surface prior to serving.

• To avoid excess smoke when cooking naturally high fat foods such as bacon, chicken wings or sausages, it may be necessary to empty collected fat from the drip tray during cooking and between batches.

• When using the Air Fryer Oven for baking, place the baking tin or oven dish on top of the air frying rack or drip tray and then position in the oven.

Care & Cleaning

Make sure the appliance is cleaned after each use.

Always allow the air fryer to cool completely before cleaning.

Once the air fryer is cool, unplug the appliance from the wall outlet.
Wash the accessories in hot soapy water. Do not use metal utensils or abrasive cleaners or cleaning products as this may damage the non stick coating on the accessories.
The air fryer accessories are dishwasher safe. For best results, place in the top rack of the dishwasher.
To clean the body and cavity of the air fryer oven, wipe with a non-abrasive damp cloth and dry with a paper towel. Never use abrasive cloths or cleaning products, such as steel wool or metal scouring pads to clean the oven cavity.
Never immerse the appliance in water or other liquids
When cleaning the outside of the oven, do not allow liquids to enter the air inlet at the top of the air fryer oven

Storage

Prior to storing, ensure the air fryer is cool and that all parts are clean and dry. Never store the air fryer while it is hot or wet. Store the air fryer in a clean, dry place.
