Frequently Asked Questions - Healthy Choice AF350 Lenoxx

What is the maximum capacity of the Lenoxx Healthy Choice AF350 air fryer?

The maximum capacity is 3.5 liters. However, it is recommended not to fill the frying basket beyond 3/4 of its capacity for optimal cooking.

Can I use oil in the air fryer?

No, do not fill the frying basket with oil or any other liquid. The air fryer uses hot air to cook food. For crispy results, you can coat fresh potatoes with a little oil before adding them.

How do I preheat the air fryer?

You can preheat the appliance without food by setting the timer to a little more than 3 minutes and the chosen cooking temperature. Wait until the timer light goes out (after 3 minutes), then add food and set the required preparation time.

Why is white smoke coming out of the air fryer?

White smoke is normal when cooking greasy ingredients as oil leaks to the bottom of the frying basket. It does not harm the appliance or affect food safety.

How do I clean the air fryer?

Unplug and allow to cool. Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth. Clean the frying basket and grill tray with hot water, dish soap, and a non-abrasive sponge. For stubborn residue, soak for 10 minutes. Lightly brush the heating element to remove crumbs.

Can I put the basket and tray in the dishwasher?

Yes, the frying basket and grill tray are dishwasher safe.

What should I do if the food is not cooked thoroughly?

Possible causes: too much food in the basket (reduce batch size), temperature too low (adjust), or cooking time too short (increase time). Also ensure the appliance is preheated if needed.

Is it safe to place the air fryer on a bench top?

No, do not place directly on bench top. Use a heat-proof material and ensure a minimum 20 cm clearance from walls and heat-sensitive surfaces. Hot air up to 160°C expels from the rear vent.

How do I manually switch off the air fryer?

Turn the timer knob anticlockwise to 0. The fan will continue running for up to 30 seconds to cool down the appliance.

Can I use the air fryer to reheat food?

Yes, set the temperature to 150°C and the timer for up to 10 minutes.

The grill tray needs to be inside the frying basket when the air fryer is being used.

The silicone rubbers stay on the grill tray, they are food safe and will not melt.

1. Place the appliance on a stable, horizontal and level surface that is also heat resistant.

2. Place the grill tray in the frying basket.

3. Do not fill the frying basket with oil or any other liquid.

4. Do not put anything on top of the appliance. This disrupts the airflow.

USING THE AIR FRYER:

This is an air fryer that works on hot air. Do not fill the fry pot with oil or frying fat.

1. Plug in the appliance to the mains power supply.
2. Carefully pull the frying basket out of the air fryer. Ensure the grill tray is inside the frying basket. Put the food into the frying basket.

- Note: Never fill the frying basket beyond the amount indicated in the table shown in the section. COOKING TIMES AND TEMPERATURES, as this could affect the quality of the food. Never cook food without the grill tray in place.

- Tip: If you set the timer to half the preparation time, you hear the timer bell when you have to shake the ingredients. However, this means that you have to set the timer again for the remaining

preparation time after shaking.

2. Note: You can also switch off the appliance manually. To do this, turn the timer knob anticlockwise to 0.

COOKING TIMES AND TEMPERATURES:

• This table helps you to select the basic settings for the food you want to prepare.
  Note: Keep in mind that these settings are only for reference. As ingredients differ in origin, size, shape as well as brand, we cannot guarantee the best setting for your ingredients.
• Due to the Rapid Air Technology instantly reheating the air inside the appliance, pulling the frying basket out during hot air frying will disturb the process.
• Shaking smaller ingredients halfway through the preparation time prevents uneven cooking.
• You can coat fresh potatoes with a little oil for a crispy result.
• Do not prepare extremely greasy foods such as sausages in the air fryer.
• Snacks like frozen spring rolls that can be prepared in an oven can also be prepared in the air fryer.

TIPS:

• A smaller amount of food requires a slightly shorter preparation time; a larger amount of food needs a slightly longer preparation time.
• It is recommended not to fill the frying basket of the air fryer beyond 3/4 of its capacity. The maximum amount of ingredients that can be prepared depends on the kind of food you want to prepare.
• Shaking smaller ingredients halfway through the preparation time optimizes the end result and can help prevent unevenly fried ingredients.
• Use pre-made dough to prepare filled snacks quickly and easily. Pre-made dough also requires a shorter preparation time than home-made dough.
• Place a baking tin (not included) or oven dish (not included) in the air fryer 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 air fryer to reheat ingredients. To reheat ingredients, set the temperature to 150° C for up to 10 minutes.
• If you use oven-ready snacks, do not add oil because they are usually pre-fried and become golden brown and crispy when prepared in the air fryer.
• If you use oven-ready snacks and they do not become crispy and stay pale, please check the following:

a. The amount of ingredients: Put smaller batches of ingredients in the fry pot. Cover the bottom of the fry pot with just one layer. Smaller batches are fried more evenly.

b. The preparation time: If you have not preheated the appliance before you put in the snacks, make sure you add 3 minutes extra to the preparation time when you set the timer.

c. Most snacks need the preparation time indicated for the oven to become fully cooked.

d. If your croquettes or snacks burst when you prepare them in the air fryer, choose a shorter preparation time.

CLEANING:

Clean the appliance after every use. The grill tray, frying basket and the inside of the appliance have a non-stick coating. Do not use metal kitchen utensils or abrasive cleaning materials to clean these parts, as this may damage the non-stick coating.

1. Unplug the appliance from the mains power supply and allow it to cool down.
2. Wipe the outside of the appliance with a moist cloth.
3. Clean the frying basket and grill tray with hot water, some dish washing liquid soap and a non-abrasive sponge. You can use a degreasing liquid to remove stubborn spots. If food residue is stuck to the frying basket or the grill tray, fill the frying basket with hot water and some dish washing liquid soap. Put the grill tray in the frying basket and let the grill tray and the frying basket soak for approximately 10 minutes.
4. Lightly brush the heating element with a cleaning brush to remove any crumbs.

STORAGE:

1. Unplug the appliance from the mains power supply and allow it to cool down.
2. Make sure all parts are clean and dry.
3. Store in an upright position with the frying basket closed.
