Frequently Asked Questions - Alchemy EK6642 SALTER

How to preheat the Salter Alchemy EK6642 air fryer?

Select the desired program and set the temperature. The appliance heats up quickly. For optimal preheating, let it run empty for 3 to 5 minutes before adding food.

Do I need to use oil with this air fryer?

Oil is not necessary, but a light coating (with a spray or a spoonful of oil) improves crispiness. Do not pour excess oil into the basket.

What are the preset cooking programs?

Programs include Steak, Fish, Fries (Chips), Vegetables (Vegetable), and Manual. They automatically adjust temperature and time.

Can I open the drawer during cooking?

Yes, you can remove the basket at any time. The appliance stops automatically and resumes when you put it back.

How to clean the basket and grill?

Allow to cool, then wash the basket and grill with warm soapy water or in the dishwasher. Wipe the inside of the appliance with a damp cloth.

What is the maximum capacity?

The basket has a capacity of 5.5 liters. Do not fill beyond the Max mark for even cooking.

Can I make frozen fries?

Is the appliance noisy?
