Before First Use

1. Remove all of the packaging materials. Check that there are no parts missing. Some stickers, such as the mode guide, are to be permanently kept on the unit.
2. Clean the outside of the main unit by wiping it with a wet well-wrung sponge or cloth.
3. Clean the trays with warm water and dishwashing liquid. Dry thoroughly.
4. Position the main unit on a dry level heat-proof surface away from other sources of heat.
5. Plug in the power cable into the nearest wall socket. DO NOT let the cable hang over the edges of worktops or touch hot surfaces.
6. Do not put anything on top of the appliance or covering the air outlets or inlets; this will disrupt the airflow and can affect the air-frying result.

How to Use

• Wash all components before use and make sure they have been thoroughly cleaned and dried.
  • Make sure the air fryer grill is on a flat, stable, heat-proof surface and then plug in to the mains.
• Place the outer tray inside the main unit. Always cook with the outer tray inside the unit.
• Put the inner basket or grill plate inside the outer tray, or use the outer tray alone as a roasting tin.
• Fill with your food. If you want to cook chips, vegetables or fish fingers, use the inner basket. If you want to grill chicken or fish, place the grill plate inside the outer tray instead and put your ingredients on top of that.
• Pull the cover down and press the power button.
• Follow the instructions for 'Manual Select', 'Quick Select', or '6 Preset Modes'.

DURONIC

Cleaning and Maintenance

Clean the appliance after every use.

The trays and the inside of the unit have a non-stick coating. Do not use metal kitchen utensils or abrasive cleaning materials to clean them, as this may damage the non-stick coating.

1. Unplug the appliance from the wall socket and let the appliance cool down. Remove the drawers to let the air fryer grill cool down more quickly.

2. Wipe the outside of the appliance with a moist cloth. Then wipe again with a dry cloth.

3. Clean the trays with hot water, washing-up liquid and a non-abrasive sponge. Alternatively, the trays are all dishwasher-safe.

If there is stubborn dirt stuck to the trays, fill a basin with hot water and some washing up liquid. Put the tray into the basin and leave to soak for approximately 10 minutes. Use the cleaning brush to help remove the stubborn dirt.

CAUTION:

DO NOT immerse the main unit in water or any other liquid. Do not clean the main unit in a dishwasher. The main unit is to be wiped clean only according to the above instructions.

1. If needed, clean the splash guard with the cleaning brush to remove any food residue. Be careful not to damage any of the parts.

2. Ensure that every part is dried completely before re-assembling and using the air fryer grill.

Troubleshooting

Problem Probable Cause Solution
The air fryer does not work	The appliance is not plugged into the mains.	Put the mains plug in an earthed wall socket.
	You have not set the timer.	Press the Timer button +/- buttons to the required preparation time, then press the Start/Pause button to switch on the appliance.
Food is not fully cooked	The amount of the ingredients in the tray is too much.	Put smaller batches of ingredients in the tray. Smaller batches are fried more evenly.
	The set temperature is too low.	Press the Temperature +/- buttons to adjust the temperature.
	The preparation/cooking time is too short.	Press the Timer button +/- buttons to adjust the length of cooking time.
The ingredients are fried unevenly in the air fryer	Certain types of food need to be shaken or turned halfway through the cooking time.	Ingredients that lie on the top of or across each other (e.g. fries) need to be shaken halfway through the cooking time. Other foods such as sausages may require turning or flipping.
Fried foods are not crispy when they come out of the air fryer	You use a type of food meant to be prepared in a traditional deep fryer, for example chips, chicken wings, nuggets etc.	Use oven-ready foods or lightly brush some oil onto the freshly prepared food for a crispier result.

Troubleshooting (continued)

Problem Probable Cause Solution
White smoke comes out of the appliance	You are preparing greasy ingredients.	When frying greasy ingredients ensure that you do not cook at temperatures over 180°C.
	The tray still contains greasy residues from the previous use.	White smoke can be caused by grease heating up in the tray and air fryer grill. Make sure you clean the tray and air fryer grill properly after each use.
Fresh potato fries are fried unevenly in the air fryer.	You did not soak the potato fries properly before you fried them.	Soak the fries in a bowl of water for at least 30 minutes; take them out and dry them with kitchen paper.
	You did not use the right potato type.	Use fresh potatoes to ensure that the fries stay firm during frying.
Fresh potato fries are not crispy when they come out of the air fryer.	The crispiness of the fries depends on the amount of oil and water in the fries.	Make sure you dry the potato sticks properly before you toss them in a light coat of oil.
		Cut the potato into thinner sticks for a crispier result.
		Add slightly more oil for a crispier result.
Why do some ingredients move or blow around when air frying?	Occasionally, the fan from the air fryer will blow lightweight foods around.	Use toothpicks to secure loose lightweight food, like the top slice on a sandwich.
