Initial test run
Do you have to do the test run? No — but getting to know the ins and outs of your
Vortex Plus prepares you for success in the kitchen! Take a few minutes to get to
know how this little guy works.
Stage 1: Setting up the air fryer
for cooking
01 Connect the power lead to a
220–240V power source.
The air fryer is in standby mode and
the display shows OFF.
02 Remove the air fryer basket from the
cooking chamber.
03 Place the cooking tray on the bottom
of the air fryer basket (if it is not
already installed).
Make sure the little indicator arrows
on the cooking tray point towards the
back or the front of the air fryer basket.
04 Place the air fryer basket back into
the cooking chamber.
05 Touch Air Fry.
06 Touch Temp, then turn the dial to adjust
the cooking temperature to 205ºC.
Each Smart Programme automatically
saves the adjustments you make to
the time and temperature when you
touch Start.
07 Touch Start to begin!
The display shows On and the cooking
status shows Preheat.
The first few times you use your air
fryer, you may notice a strong plastic
The air fryer and air fryer basket will be hot during and after cooking. To avoid the risk of
burn injury, DO NOT touch hot surfaces. Allow the air fryer to cool to room temperature,
then clean the appliance according to Care, cleaning and storage instructions.

smell. This is normal, non-toxic, and
goes away quickly.
Stage 2: "Cooking" (...but not really,
this is just a test!)
01 When the air fryer is hot enough,
the display shows Add Food.
For this initial test, do not add food
to the air fryer basket.
Carefully remove and re-insert the air
fryer basket. The display shows the
cooking time and temperature, and
the cooking status shows Cook.
02 Part-way through cooking, the display
shows turn Food.
Wait 10 seconds for the programme to
resume automatically, or, remove and
re-insert the air fryer basket to pause
and resume the programme manually.
03 When 1 minute remains, the display
counts down the remaining cooking
time in seconds.
When the Smart Programme is
complete, the display shows End and
the fan blows for a little while to help
cool the air fryer.
04 Touch Cancel to return to standby
mode and start cooking for real!
If you forget this last step, the air fryer
will beep to remind you about it after
5, 30 and 60 minutes.
