Using your air fryer

The appliance is suitable for frying, roasting, baking, grilling, or warming food.

COOKING WITH THE AIR FRYER:
DO NOT put anything on top of the appliance, as this will disrupt the airflow and the hot air frying will be affected as a result

• This air fryer operates using hot air and requires very little to no oil.
• Rapid Air technology instantly reheats the air inside the appliance therefore pulling the drawer out briefly during hot air frying barely disturbs the process.

1. Connect the plug to a mains wall socket.
2. Remove the drawer.
3. Place food inside the drawer.
   NOTE: DO NOT exceed the MAX line.
4. Slide the drawer back in to the air fryer.
5. Determine the required cooking time for your ingredients (refer to the Settings section). Turn the time and temperature control dials to the required settings.
6. The fan will start to work and the indicator light will illuminate to show that the unit is operating. The timer will start to count down the set cooking time.
   NOTE: During the air frying process, the working lights will turn on and off from time to time. This indicates that the heating element is being switched on and off to maintain the set temperature
   NOTE: Cooking times and temperatures can be adjusted, even while the air fryer is in operation.
   
   During the frying process, food will get very hot and steam may escape from the appliance.
7. Pull the drawer out of the appliance and place it on a suitable heat resistant surface and check if the food is ready.
   
   DO NOT touch the drawer immediately after use. Only hold the drawer by the handle Always wear oven gloves and use suitable accessories such as tongs to remove food, as required.
   DO NOT turn the drawer upside down, as any excess oil that has collected may drip onto the food.
   
   Before serving, ensure meat and poultry are thoroughly cooked.
8. If the food is not ready, simply place it back into the air fryer and set the timer for a few extra minutes.
9. Once food is cooked and the appliance is not required for further cooking, remove the plug from the mains power socket.

10. Allow the used accessories and appliance to cool down before cleaning them (refer to the cleaning and care section).

SETTINGS

• The settings table will help you to select the basic settings for the ingredients.
• Settings are indications; as ingredients differ in origin, size, shape and brand, we cannot guarantee the best settings for your ingredients.
• Settings can be adjusted to meet personal preference in the finished result. However, always ensure food is cooked and piping hot before serving.

PRE-HEATING:
It is recommended to add 3 minutes to the cooking time if the appliance is cold. Alternatively, pre-heat the appliance without any food inside:

1. Place the empty drawer into the unit.
2. Adjust the timer to 3 minutes and the temperature to the required cooking temperature.
3. Once pre-heated remove the drawer and add food.
4. Place the drawer in to the unit and adjust the timer to the required cooking time.

GETTING THE BEST RESULTS FROM YOUR AIR FRYER:
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.

Turning and rotating food:

• "Flipping" or turning smaller sized foods halfway through the cooking process, assures that all the pieces are evenly fried.
• Some food requires shaking halfway through the cooking time (refer to the settings table). To shake the food, pull the drawer out of the appliance by the handle and shake it. Then slide the drawer back into the fryer.

Accessories:

• If using a cooking vessel in the drawer, 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.

Food tips:

• Snacks that can be prepared in an oven can also be prepared in the air fryer.
• 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.
• Add some oil to fresh potatoes for a crispy result. Fry the potatoes in the air fryer within a few minutes of adding the oil.
• The air fryer can be used to reheat food; Set the temperature to 150°C for up to 10 minutes.
