NOTE: When using the appliance for the first time, a slight smoke or odour may be emitted. This is normal and will soon subside. Ensure that there is sufficient ventilation around the appliance.

USING YOUR AIR FRYER

This appliance allows for just one or both drawers to be used while cooking. The two compartments, along with the dedicated 'Meal' and 'Dual' settings, allow for dual zone food preparation, allowing for different foods to be cooked simultaneously with different cooking times and temperatures, while still being ready at the same time.

AIR FRYER COOKING BASKET SAFETY SWITCH:

For your safety, this air fryer contains a safety switch in each of the drawers, designed to keep if from accidentally turning on whenever the drawers are not properly situated inside the appliance or the timer is not set. Before using your air fryer, please ensure that the grill plates are inside the drawers and the drawers are fully closed.

REMOVING THE DRAWERS:

The drawers can be removed fully from the air fryer. Pull on the corresponding handle at any time to slide each drawer out of the air fryer.

NOTE: If a drawer is removed from the main body of the fryer when in operation, the unit will automatically stop working and the digits on the LED display will flash to indicate the cooking process has been paused. When the drawer is re-inserted, the air fryer will resume operation on the latest selected settings.

TURNING THE APPLIANCE ON/OFF:

1. Plug the unit into a mains socket. There will be a sound prompt and the LED display and the indicators will briefly illuminate to show the unit has been plugged in.
2. Press the Power button on the unit's control panel to turn the unit on. There will be a sound prompt and

the LED display and the indicators for drawer 1 and the six cooking pre-sets will illuminate to show the unit has been turned on.

PRE-SET MENUS:

The appliance's cooking temperature can be set manually, from 75^ to 200^ .

1. Once the unit is on and the required drawer or drawers have been selected, select one of the unit's six pre-set cooking menus to start a cooking section. To do this, press the corresponding button on the unit's control panel. The corresponding indicator will remain lit, all other mode indicators on the unit's control panel will go out and the default temperature setting for that mode will flash on the unit's LED screen to

show which mode has been selected.

The corresponding indicator will remain lit, all other mode indicators on the unit's control panel will go out and the default temperature setting for that mode will flash on the unit's LED screen to show a different mode has been selected.

NOTE: It is not possible to change modes midway through a cooking cycle. To change modes when a cooking cycle is under way, that cycle must first be paused, cancelled or ended before the new cooking mode can be selected.

NOTE: A cooking mode MUST be selected before a cooking session can be started or any time and temperature settings can be adjusted.

NOTE: With this function, the temperature cannot be reduced. Reduce the cooking time if necessary, depending on the food.

REHEAT For reheating food that has already been cooked Temperature: 170°C (Range: 130–210°C) Cooking time: 15 min (Range: 1 – 60 min)

NOTE: The pre-set times and temperatures for each program should be adjusted if necessary to ensure the food is fully cooked. Adjustments can also be made during the cooking process. Refer to the 'Setting the Temperature' and 'Setting the Timer' sections of this instruction manual for guidance on how to manually adjust each setting.

SETTING THE TEMPERATURE:

1. Press the Temp ▲ or ▼ arrows to manually adjust the cooking temperature, by increments of 10. Press the ▲ key to increase the temperature or the ▼ key to decrease it.

NOTE: Temperature ranges will differ according to the function or mode selected.

SETTING THE TIMER:

1. Press the Time ▲ or ▼ arrows to manually adjust the cooking time from 1 to 60 minutes, by increments of 1. Press the ▲ key to increase the time or the ▼ key to decrease it.

2. Alternatively, press and hold the Time ▲ or ▼ keys to cycle through the available time options in increments of 15 minutes.

STARTING AND PAUSING THE COOKING PROCESS:

1. Once the appropriate function, time and temperature have been selected, touch the Start/Stop key on the unit's control panel to start the cooking process. Alternatively, touch the Start/Stop key without programming the time or temperature to start a cooking session on the default settings for each mode.

2. Touch the drawer selection button while the unit is in operation to pause the cooking process, and again while the unit is paused to resume it.

NOTE: If no input is made within five seconds after the appliance has been paused, it will automatically restart.

1. Alternatively, press the Start/Stop button again to interrupt and cancel the cooking cycle. The text 'End' will flash on the unit's LED display to indicate the cooking process has been ended.

COOKING WITH BOTH DRAWERS:

This unit offers a choice of two functions when cooking with both drawers simultaneously. The 'Meal' function allows you to cook separate ingredients on each drawer so that they are ready at the same time, while the 'Dual' function lets you set both drawers of the air fryer on the same settings, allowing for larger batch cooking.

COOKING SEPARATE INGREDIENTS - THE 'MEAL' FUNCTION:

1. To use either drawer of the air fryer on separate time and temperature settings, press the 'Meal' button on the unit's control panel. The corresponding indicator will illuminate to show this function has been selected.

2. Once the 'Meal' function is selected, press the 'I' button on the unit's control panel to select and set one of the unit's pre-set menus for the first drawer. Refer to the 'Pre-set Menus' section of this instruction manual for guidance on how to select a pre-set menu directly from the unit's control panel. The LED screen will display the default temperature for the selected setting.

NOTE: After a pre-set has been selected, the default cooking time and temperature settings can be adjusted manually to suit individual preference. Refer to the 'Setting the Temperature' and 'Setting the Timer' sections of this instruction manual for guidance on how to select and set the required time and temperature.

1. Once the required settings have been selected on the first drawer, press the '2' button to move on to programming the second drawer. The left-hand side of the unit's LED display will show the cooking time for the selected pre-set, and the right-hand side will display '00:00'.

2. Repeat the process detailed above to select a pre-set menu and adjust cooking settings for the second drawer. When the required settings have been selected, press the Start/Stop button to start the cooking process. The unit will begin to cook the food inside each drawer on the selected setting for that drawer, and make the necessary adjustments to ensure the pre-set programs for each drawer finish simultaneously, so you can enjoy a fully cooked meal straight away. For example, if one of the pre-sets has a shorter cooking time than the other, the unit will delay the start of the shorter program until the longer program has reached the appropriate stage in its cooking process; for instance, if the program in drawer 1 has a cooking time of six minutes, and the program in drawer 2 has a cooking time of 20 minutes, the unit will delay the start of the cooking process for drawer 1 by 14 minutes, so that the two programs conclude at the same time.

NOTE: When a program is on hold, the LED display on the corresponding side of the unit will display 'Hold' to show this is the case.

COOKING LARGER BATCHES – THE 'DUAL' FUNCTION:

1. To select and set the same time and temperature settings for both drawers of the air fryer, allowing for larger batches of ingredients to be cooked at once, press the 'Dual' button on the unit's control panel. The corresponding indicator will illuminate and both sides of the unit's LED display will come on and show '00:00' to indicate the 'Dual' function has been selected.

2. Once the 'Dual' function is selected, choose the desired pre-set for each drawer and adjust the required time and temperature settings for the ingredients you wish to cook. Refer to the 'Pre-set Menus', 'Setting the Temperature' and 'Setting the Timer' sections of this instruction manual for guidance on how to select and set the required time and temperature.

3. Alternatively, you can simply select one of the unit pre-set menus for each drawer, and the unit will automatically begin cooking at the default time and temperature settings for that pre-set. Refer to the 'Pre-set Menus' section of this instruction manual for guidance on how to select a pre-set menu directly from the unit's control panel.

STARTING A COOKING SESSION:

1. Once the required settings have been selected, press the Start/Stop button to start the cooking process. The unit will automatically begin to cook the food on the selected settings.

2. When the cooking process is complete, the unit will give off a sound prompt and the text 'End' will flash on the unit's LED display to indicate the cooking process has concluded and the food is ready.

Tips:

• 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.

- A larger quantity of ingredients requires a slightly longer preparation time than a smaller quantity of ingredients.

- Shaking smaller ingredients 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 air fryer within a few minutes after you added the oil.

- The optimal amount for preparing crispy fries is 500 grams.

- Be cautious of using extremely greasy ingredients such as sausages in the air fryer.

- Snacks that can be prepared in an oven can also be prepared in the air fryer.

• 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 air fryer drawer if you want to bake a cake or quiche, or if you want to fry fragile ingredients or filled ingredients.
• The air fryer can be used to reheat ingredients. To reheat ingredients, select the 'Reheat' function from the unit's control panel, or set the temperature to 150°C for up to 10 minutes.
• If the ingredients are ready empty the cooking basket into a bowl or onto a plate. Take care if tilting the cooking basket, as any excess oil that has collected on the bottom of the cooking basket will leak onto the ingredients, and the grill plate may also detach from the cooking basket and fall onto the food.
• When a batch of food is ready, the appliance is instantly ready for preparing another batch.
• Unplug the appliance when the unit is not required for further cooking.

SETTINGS TABLE:

NOTE: Once a pre-set mode has been selected, the cooking time and temperature can be adjusted manually, to suit any number of foods. This settings table will help you to select the basic settings for a variety of popular ingredients.

NOTE: Keep in mind that these settings are indications. As ingredients differ in origin, size, shape and brand the best settings for the ingredients cannot be guaranteed.

NOTE: Because the Rapid Air technology instantly reheats the air inside the appliance, removing the drawer briefly out of the appliance during hot air frying barely disturbs the process.

NOTE: Add 3 minutes to the preparation time before you start frying if the appliance is cold.
