INTRODUCTION
The air fryer provides an easy and healthier way of cooking your favorite foods. By applying rapid air
circulation from all directions additional to a top grill, it is able to cook a variety of dishes without
adding any oil or adding just a little oil to specific ingredients in the table shown in this booklet.

HOW TO USE YOUR AIR FRYER

Ensure the following before using the product:
1. Remove all the packing materials including any in the pan and basket.
2. Slide out the basket and pan, place on a flat surface, slide forward the button cover, and separate
the basket from the pan by pressing down the basket release button. Clean both basket and pan with
a non-abrasive sponge, with hot water and dish washing liquid. Rinse with clean water and set aside
to dry.

3. Wipe clean the inside and outside of the appliance with a moist soft cloth.

Preparing for use:

1. Place the appliance on a stable, horizontal, flat and heat resistant surface.
IMPORTANT! To prevent heat damage, place the appliance on a heat-resistant surface only. Not
recommended to use directly on laminated / Vinyl bench top. Placing the air fryer on an insulated
heat pad is recommended.

5
2. Remove the pan and basket from the appliance and place on a flat surface.
CAUTION! After use the basket will be hot. Do not press the basket release button to remove the
basket from pan until it is placed on a flat, firm and heat-resistant surface.

Using the appliance:

This appliance is able to cook a variety of dishes. Refer to the ‘Cooking Manual’ for reference and
respective cooling times.
1. Connect the supply cord plug into a mains power outlet socket. The appliance is now in standby
mode.
2. Place the ingredients into the basket.
IMPORTANT! Do not fill beyond the MAX mark in the basket.
Do not fill more than 2.5kg food in the basket.
3. Slide the pan and basket back into the appliance.
CAUTION! Never operate the appliance without the basket placed in the pan. Do not touch the
pan and basket during use or immediately after use, the pan and basket gets very hot. Only hold
by the handle.
4. Touch the power button to light up the control panel.
5. Select a preset function or set the time and temperature manually, then touch the power button to start
cooking.
6. For cooking of some ingredients, it may be required to turn the contents in the basket or add small
quantity oil in the cooking ingredients during the cooking process to ensure even cooking and avoid
charring of ingredients positioned at the top of the basket. When this is needed, you can pull out the pan
and basket. The appliance will stop heating automatically. After turning or adding oil, place the pan and
basket back into the appliance to resume cooking.
WARNING! Do not press the basket release button when turning the ingredients. Otherwise, the
pan could fall onto the floor with the possibility of striking and cause serious injuries and damage
to the floor and/or splashing hot contents from the pan.
NOTE: You may slide out the pan and basket to check at any time during the cooking process. The
appliance will pause when the pan and basket is taken out or powered off. The appliance will continue
the cooking process if the pan and basket is slide in or power on again.
7. You can reset the time and temperature during cooking process according to the actual condition.
8. When you hear the “beep-beep” sound, the set time is elapsed, and the cooking cycle is completed.
The appliance is now in standby mode.
9. Check if the ingredients are cooked to your satisfaction. If not, set the timer for a few more minutes
until it cooked to your satisfaction.
10. Remove the pan and basket from the appliance. Only hold by the handle as other surfaces will be
hot. Press the basket release button to remove the basket and tip contents onto a dish or place the pan
and basket on a flat firm and heat-resistant surface. During the cooking process, oil from food will drip
and be collected on the bottom of the pan. This can be cleaned at the end of the cooking process when
the pan has cooled down.

6
11. After using your appliance, remove the plug from the wall socket immediately and allow the
appliance to cool down completely.
CAUTION!
Do not press the basket release button to remove the basket from the pan until it is placed on a
flat, firm and heat-resistant surface.
Beware of escaping steam from the pan, as there is a danger of scalding.
Do not turn the basket with ingredients upside down with the pan attached when tipping the
contents onto a dish. Excess oil may have collected in the pan, it could drip out and cause scalding.
IMPORTANT! NEVER LEAVE THE UNIT UNATTENDED WHEN IN USE.

Tips:
1. Smaller ingredients usually require a shorter cooking time than larger ingredients.
2. A larger amount of ingredients are required a longer cooking time.
3. Turning smaller ingredients halfway during the cooking process optimizes the end result and can
help prevent unevenly fried ingredients.
4. To remove large individual or delicate ingredients from the basket, do not tip them out. Pick them
up with a pair of tongs.
5. Do not prepare extremely greasy ingredients such as sausages with the air fryer.
6. Snacks that can be prepared in an oven can also be prepared in the fryer.
7. Place a baking tin or oven dish in the air fryer basket if you want to bake a cake/quiche or if you
want to fry fragile ingredients or filled ingredients.
8. You can also use the air fryer to reheat ingredients. To reheat ingredients, set the temperature to
150℃ for up to 10 minutes.
9. For best results with home-made chips, soak the cut chips in water for 30 minutes to remove
excess starch. Dry on kitchen paper and toss in 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil (or lightly spray with
olive oil spray) until the chips are coated.
10. For a crispy home-made coating, mix fine breadcrumbs with a tablespoon of olive oil.
11. Pre-packed snacks like bread crumbed fish or chicken drumsticks only need to be coated lightly
with olive oil.

SETTINGS
To assist with selection of cooking times and maximum basket volumes for specific ingredients, refer
to the cooking manual section in this booklet.
NOTE: Please keep in mind that the cooking manual is indicative and for your reference only.
Variation in size, shapes and brands may require an increase or decrease of cooking time and
temperature setting to achieve the desired and best cooking outcome.
This type of heating technology reheats the air inside the appliance instantly, so pulling the pan briefly
out of the appliance to toss/turn ingredients during cooking will barely disturb the process.
