Adjust the cooking time and temperature depending on the thickness of the
bread or bakery product and how well browned you like it. For best results and
even toasting place up to 4 slices of bread in the wire rack. The more pieces
in the slots the longer the toasting process takes and the bread will require
turning. Thicker bread works better than pre-cut medium/ thin sliced bread.
Thinner bread will produce very crisp toast. For larger bread and bakery
products place the item horizontally on the toast rack so that the bread or
bakery product does not touch the top of the oven. Sit the wire rack on the
drip tray before inserting into the base of the air fryer.

GETTING THE BEST RESULTS FROM YOUR AIR FRYER OVEN:
Cooking time:
· The cooking time will depend on the size of your ingredients. Smaller sizes
may require a shorter cooking time.
· In general the cooking times are shorter than in a conventional oven. Start
with shorter cooking times and then adapt the cooking times to your personal
taste.
· Whilst becoming familiar with the appliance it is advisable to check the
condition of the food during cooking to ensure that it does not burn. To do
this, open the air fryer oven door or switch on the light using the key.
Turning and rotating food:
· “Flipping” or turning smaller sized foods halfway through the cooking
process, assures that all the pieces are evenly fried.
· It may be necessary to rotate the air flow racks during the cooking process
in order to ensure even cooking of all foods. Air Flow Racks in the Using the
Accessories section details the heat variations within the appliance.
Accessories:
· If using a cooking vessel on the air flow racks, non-stick coated or enamel
coated ovenware is recommended in order to allow for greater heat transfer.
NOTE: Using cooking vessels may affect the cooking due to the reduction in air
flow.
· If using air flow racks without a cooking vessel keep in mind that food
residues may drip on to food items on shelves below.
Food tips:
· Snacks that can be prepared in an oven can also be prepared in the air fryer
oven.
· There is no need to add any oil to frozen chips as most frozen products are
generally pre-fried. When preparing frozen chips or other frozen convenience
products, follow the manufacturer’s specifications on the packaging. Be
cautious of using extremely greasy ingredients such as sausages in the air
fryer oven.
· The air fryer oven can be used to reheat food; Set the temperature to 150°C
for up to 10 minutes.

Cleaning and care
Warning! Do not immerse the appliance in water or any other liquid.
Clean the main unit and the used accessories after each use. DO NOT allow food
residues to dry on. Food residue could start to burn and possibly cause
faults. 1. Unplug the appliance from the mains
and allow it to cool down. NOTE: Open the air fryer oven door to let it cool
down more quickly. 2. Wipe the main unit clean with a damp cloth and a little
detergent. 3. Clean all other used accessories with detergent and warm water.
In the case of stubborn dirt, soak the accessories in warm water and detergent
beforehand. NOTE: DO NOT clean the appliance with metal kitchen utensils,
caustic or abrasive cleaning agents or scouring sponges. NOTE: Allow all parts
to air dry completely or dry with a tea towel before reusing or storing.
Removing the Door
The air fryer oven has a removable door, which can be detached from the
appliance for easier cleaning.
To separate the door from the air fryer oven: 1. Push the door as far down as
it will go
(about 70 degrees).
2. Push the grooved latch on the righthand side of the hinge horizontally to
release the door.
3. Once the door has been released, pull it downward to separate it from the
body of the appliance.
To reinstall the door:
1. Push the locking tab to the side to unlock the pins on either side of the
door.
2. Position the door underneath the air fryer oven and bring it up and
inwards, aligning the pin on the left-hand side of the door in first.
3. Once the left pin is securely slotted into place, insert the right-hand
pin into its corresponding hole in a similar manner.
4. Release the locking tab to secure the door into place.
NOTE: ALWAYS take care to come in from the bottom of the unit and move from
left to right when installing the door. Attempting to install the door from
the top down or moving from right to left will cause it to be incorrectly
fitted, and may cause damage to the hinge mechanism.
Storage
· Once cool, clean and dry store the appliance upright, in a cool, dry place.

Troubleshooting
PROBLEM
The air fryer does not work The air fryer is emitting smoke
Foods are overcooked or burned The fried ingredients are not done
French fries are fried unevenly in the air fryer French fries are not crispy
when they come out of the air fryer
POSSIBLE SOLUTION
Plug the appliance into an earthed wall socket
Press the to switch on the appliance
White smoke is caused by grease heating up inside the appliance. Clean the
appliance properly after each use.
Dark smoke suggests food is burning. Immediately unplug the appliance. Wait
for smoke to clear before opening the oven door.
Decrease cooking temperature or time
Ensure food items are not too large and are not touching the heating elements
Put smaller batches of ingredients in the air fryer. Smaller batches are fried
more evenly
The set temperature is too low. Adjust the temperature. Refer to the Settings
and Pre-set Programs section under Cooking with the Air Fryer Oven for a
temperature reference guide
The cooking time is too short. Adjust the cooking time (Refer to the Settings
and Pre-set Programs section under Cooking with the Air Fryer Oven for a timer
reference guide)
Use fresh starchy potatoes and make sure they stay firm during frying
Rinse the potato sticks properly to remove starch from the outside
The crispiness of the fries depends on the amount of oil and water in the
fries.
Dry the potato sticks properly before you add the oil.
Cut the potato sticks smaller for a crispier result.
Add slightly more oil for a crispier result.
