Dos and don'ts

DO:

Check that the cooking compartments are securely fitted before use. Not doing so will prevent the air fryer from operating.

Only hold the cooking compartments by the cooking compartment handle.

Take care when removing the cooking compartments, as steam may be emitted.

Ensure there is a sufficient gap between the unit and any obstructions.

DON'T:

Invert the cooking compartments, as hot oil or fat may pour out of the air vents at the rear of the cooking compartment. Always keep the cooking compartments upright to avoid injury.

Cover the air fryer or block its air inlets, as this will disrupt the airflow and may cause overheating or inconsistent cooking results.

Fill the cooking compartments with oil or any other liquid.

Touch the cooking compartments during or straight after use, as they will be hot; only hold each cooking compartment by the cooking compartment handle.

WARNING: ENSURE THAT THE AIR FRYER OVEN HAS AT LEAST 20 CM OF FREE SPACE IN ALL DIRECTIONS BEFORE USE.

Automatic switch-off

The air fryer is fitted with an automatic switch-off. This will activate when the set cooking time has elapsed, causing the timer to sound and the air fryer to turn off.

NOTE: If the air fryer needs to be turned off before the set cooking time has elapsed, switch off and unplug it from the mains power supply.

Care and maintenance

Before attempting any cleaning or maintenance, switch off and unplug the air fryer from the mains power supply and allow it to fully cool.

STEP 1: Wipe the air fryer main unit with a soft, damp cloth and dry thoroughly.

STEP 2: Clean the non-stick coated cooking trays and cooking racks in warm, soapy water, then rinse and dry thoroughly. Clean the cooking compartment with a soft, damp cloth and dry thoroughly.

Never use harsh or abrasive cleaning detergents or scourers to clean the air fryer or its accessories, as this could cause damage.

NOTE: The air fryer should be cleaned after each use.

Instructions for use

Before first use

Clean the air fryer following the instructions outlined in the section entitled 'Care and maintenance'.

NOTE: When using the air fryer for the first time, a slight smoke or odour may be emitted. This is normal and will soon subside. Allow for sufficient ventilation around the air fryer during use. It is advised to run the air fryer without food for approx. 10 minutes before first use; this will prevent the initial smoke or odour from affecting the taste of the food.

STEP 2: Press the power button to switch on the air fryer; the LED display and control panel will illuminate, indicating the air fryer is ready to be programmed.

STEP 3: Remove the cooking compartments by pulling them out of the air fryer using the handles. Position the cooking compartments onto a flat, stable, heat-resistant surface.

STEP 4: Place the ingredients onto the non-stick coated cooking tray. For cooking on four levels, place the cooking racks on top of the cooking trays, ensuring that the handles are on the left and right sides of the cooking compartment.

STEP 5: Slide the cooking compartments back into the air fryer main unit to close it.
STEP 6: Following the instructions in the section entitled 'Using the control panel', use the digital control panel to set the cooking time and temperature as required for the ingredients. Time and temperature settings can also be set using the preset functions, which automatically cycle between time and temperature presets for cooking various foods when pressed. These presets can then be adjusted using the time and temperature adjustment buttons as required.
STEP 7: Some ingredients may require shaking halfway through the cooking time. If required, press the turn reminder button before cooking. Halfway through the cooking time, the air fryer will beep several times as a reminder to turn/shake the ingredients. Remove the cooking compartments from the air fryer main unit using the cooking compartment handle. Shake the cooking compartments gently and then slide back into the air fryer main unit to continue cooking. Do not invert or tilt the cooking compartment, as hot oil or fat may pour out of the rear air vents.
STEP 8: Once cooking is complete and the preset time has elapsed, the air fryer will beep several times and switch off. Check whether the ingredients are ready; if the ingredients are not cooked, close the cooking compartments and replace back into the air fryer main unit. If the food is cooked, transfer the contents into a bowl or onto a plate using a heat-resistant utensil.

NOTE: If the cooking time or temperature setting needs to be changed during use, use the time and temperature adjustment buttons as required.

CAUTION: Do not tip the food directly into a bowl or onto a plate, as excess oil or fat may collect at the bottom of the cooking compartments and leak onto the ingredients or serving bowl. Exercise caution when opening and closing the cooking compartments during use, as they will become very hot.

WARNING: Nominal voltage is still present even when the air fryer is switched off. To permanently switch off the air fryer, switch off and unplug from the mains power supply.

Storage
