Using Your Appliance

Removing the Inner Pot

To remove the inner pot from the unit, lift up the cover, grip the drawer by its handle and pull it up and away from the main body of the unit until it detaches.

Installing and Removing the Splash Guard

This unit comes complete with a splash guard, to help protect the top of the appliance while cooking.

Installing and Removing the Splash Guard

  1. To install the splash guard, slide it gently into its corresponding slot underneath the unit's lid, then fasten the rear tab to the clip at the back of the lid and push it upwards until it clicks into place.
  2. To remove the splash guard, use a finger to lift the clip at the front of the lid, then, with the clip still pushed up, pull one of the other tabs towards you to release the splash guard, as shown in the figure below. Once the splash guard has been released, carefully pull it out of its slot in the body of the unit until it is fully detached.


Always allow the splash guard to cool down fully before attempting to remove it.

Note: Remove the splash guard from the unit after every use. Installing the Inner Pot:

Note: Always ensure the inner pot is installed and firmly secured into place before using the unit.

To install the inner pot, simply place it inside the appliance, ensuring the ident on the pot is aligned with the corresponding notch in the body of the unit.

Note: When using the unit in Grilling mode, take care to place the grilling plate over the top of the inner pot before starting the cooking process.

Turning the Appliance On and Off

  1. Once the splash guard has been correctly installed, plug the unit into the mains and press the Power On/Off button to turn it on. There will be a sound prompt and the unit's LED screen will come on to indicate the unit has been turned on.
  2. Press the Power On/Off button at any time while the unit is in operation to turn it off. The unit will stop working, and the LED screen and all indicators will go out to show the unit has been turned off.

Starting the Cooking Process

  1. Once the unit has been turned on, press the Start/Stop button to start the cooking process. The unit will begin to pre-heat, and the LED screen will display 'PRE' to show this process is under way.
    Note: The unit will normally take 3-4 minutes to pre-heat, depending on the cooking mode selected.
    Note: Though highly recommended for ideal results, the pre-heating process can be manually skipped when in Bake, Roast or Air Fry mode. To skip the pre-heating process when cooking in these modes, press the corresponding key on the unit's control panel while the unit is pre-heating. The unit's LED display will show the 'Add Food' prompt to indicate pre-heating has been skipped.
    Note: In Dehydrate mode, the unit will not need to pre-heat, and the cooking process will begin directly after the mode is selected.
  2. When the unit has finished pre-heating, the LED screen will display 'ADD FOOD', to indicate the unit is ready to cook. Lift the lid, insert the required food into the unit, close the lid, and press the relevant setting button on the unit control panel to choose the desired cooking mode. The corresponding indicator will light up and the cooking time will begin counting down on the unit's LED display, to show the cooking process has been started.
  3. Press the Start/Stop key again while the cooking process is under way to pause it, and again when cooking is paused to resume it.

The Temp ACE Functionality

This unit is equipped with a smart Temp ACE functionality, which automatically detects the ideal cooking temperature for each ingredient with the help of a temperature probe.

  1. To use the Temp ACE functionality, begin by pressing the corresponding key on the unit's control panel. The corresponding indicator will light up to show this function has been activated.

Using the Temperature Probe

The unit comes complete with a temperature probe, to be used in conjunction with the Temp ACE functionality.

  1. To use the temperature probe, begin by choosing the desired cooking mode and setting the cooking time and temperature, as detailed in the relevant sections below.
  2. Once the correct settings have been programmed, plug the temperature probe into the corresponding socket on the right-hand side of the control panel, taking care to ensure the cord is not kinked.
  3. With the probe in place, open the unit's lid and place the relevant ingredients inside, ready for cooking.
  4. Once the ingredients are in place, press the Start/Stop key to begin the pre-heating process, as described above. While the unit is pre-heating, insert the temperature probe into the thickest part of the largest protein item, in a horizontal position, as shown in the figure below.
    Using the Temperature Probe

Note: The probe will not provide accurate readings unless placed into the item correctly. DO NOT insert the probe into the item vertically or at an angle.

Note: When measuring the temperature of meat or fish, the probe should be placed close to, but not touching the bone.

Note: When using the Temp ACE setting and temperature probe to select cooking temperatures, food should be allowed to rest inside the unit for approximately five minutes once the cooking time elapses. This is because, in this cooking mode, the inner temperature of food steadily rises as it is left to stand, ensuring the ingredients are fully cooked throughout. The table below shows the recommended Temp ACE and carry-over temperatures for a variety of common ingredients:

FOOD SET TEMP ACE TO (°C) ALLOW FOOD TO CARRY-OVER COOK TO (°C)
Fish 60 65
Poultry 75 75 or higher
Pork 60 65
Beef: 50 52
Rare 55 58
Medium Rare 60 65
Medium Medium Well 6s 66
Well Done 70 72
Ground Pork 70 72
Ground Turkey 70 74

The probe can also be used to measure the inner temperature of ingredients, even if no cooking program has been selected. To do this, insert the probe into the food, as detailed above, then press the Temp ACE button for approximately two seconds. The inner temperature of the food will be displayed on-screen for about five seconds.

Note: If the Temp ACE function is accidentally triggered, press any function keys, the unit will resume regular operation. If the unit is entered preheat mode after pressing start /stop key, press power on/off key to cancel the Temp ACE function.

To turn off the probe function, press the Power On/Off button. This will reset all settings, including the Temp ACE function.

Mode Selection

This unit is equipped with a choice of five functionalities:

  • Grill mode;
  • Bake mode;
  • Roast mode;
  • Air-Fry mode;
  • Dehydrate mode.

Tips:

  • If the food is cold, increase the cooking time by 3 minutes.
  • To remove large or fragile ingredients, lift the ingredients out of the drawer with a pair of tongs.
  • The cooking time will depend on the size of your ingredients. Smaller sizes may require a shorter cooking time.
  • Shaking smaller ingredients and turning food halfway during the cooking time optimises the end result and can help prevent unevenly fried ingredients.
  • For perfectly fluffy fries, it is recommended that potatoes be parboiled before frying.
  • Add some oil to fresh potatoes for a crispy result. Fry your ingredients in the unit within a few minutes after you added the oil.
  • Be cautious of using extremely greasy ingredients such as sausages in the unit.
  • Snacks that can be prepared in an oven can also be prepared in the unit.
  • Use pre-made dough to prepare filled snacks quickly and easily. Pre-made dough also requires a shorter cooking time than home-made dough.
  • Place a baking tin or oven dish in the inner pot if you want to bake a cake or quiche, or if you want to fry fragile ingredients or filled ingredients.
  • You can also use the unit to reheat ingredients. To reheat ingredients, set the temperature to 150°C for up to 10 minutes.

Settings Table

Note: The table below will help you to select the basic settings for the ingredients. Keep in mind that these settings are indications. As ingredients differ in origin, size, shape and brand, the best settings for your ingredients cannot be guaranteed. Because the Rapid Air technology instantly reheats the air inside the appliance, pulling the drawer briefly out of the appliance during hot air frying barely disturbs the process.

    Note: Use the progress indicator on the unit's control panel to check cooking status at any time.
    Note: Food should be checked regularly throughout the dehydration process, to prevent it from losing too much moisture and becoming inedible.
  5. When the cooking process is done, the unit will give off a sound prompt and the LED display will show 'End' to indicate cooking has ended. When this occurs, open the unit's lid, remove your food and allow it to stand for a few moments before enjoying.
