AIR FRYING TIPS

• Please check on the cooking of your food as our Air fryer cooking technology will cook food quicker than conventional ovens
• Pat the food dry before cooking to encourage browning and to avoid excess smoke
• To ensure even cooking/browning, always open the basket halfway through the cooking time to check, turn or shake food. Some recipes call to brush or spray oil halfway through cooking. Adjust the temperature or time if needed.
• Frying small batches will require shorter cooking times and yield crispier results.
• To avoid excess smoke when cooking foods high in fat (e.g bacon,chicken wings or sausages), it may be necessary to empty the fat gathered in the air fryer basket between batches
• Create a more spaced out surface area to allow more air to pass through by cutting food into smaller pieces. This can yield crispier foods
• Press breading/coating onto food to help it adhere. Refrigerate breaded foods for at least 30 minutes before frying. This allows the coating to be slightly absorbed and ensures the coating sticks to foods while cooking.
• To improve crispiness in meat, coat the meat lightly with cornflour or rice flour and spray with oil.
• Arrange breaded coated foods in air fryer basket so that food is not touching to allow air flow on all surfaces.
• Spray oils works best with this air fryer. The spray distributes oil more evenly – less oil is generally needed. However, canola, olive, avocado, coconut, grape seed, peanut or vegetable oil work well too. When baking wetter foods, it is best to use parchment paper.
• AIR FRYING PRE-PACKAGED FROZEN FOODS
• Depending on the type and amount of food being cooked, suggested cook times may differ. Always check food halfway through cooking time to determine the final cook time and temperature.
• Once the time is up, ensure that the food is fully cooked.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

• Before cooking, please note that the air fryer cooking technology cooks food quicker than that of convectional ovens. Please check food whilst cooking to ensure you don’t overcook it. Ensure the air fryer is placed on a flat, stable, and heat-resistant surface.
• Do not overfill the basket with food. This could result in uneven cooking or potential damage to the air fryer. Do not fill the basket with more than 1.8 kg of food or 2/3 of the basket.

• The baking/cooking time of some foods might be affected because the air flow is also affected.

CLEANING & MAINTENANCE

• WARNING: Before cleaning, always unplug the appliance from the electrical outlet and allow it to cool down completely.
• WARNING: To avoid electrical hazards, never immerse the main unit, power cord or plug in water or any liquid. Never rinse them under the tap.

Clean the air fryer after every use.

DO NOT CLEAN WHILST STILL HOT

• Unplug unit from the electrical outlet and allow each part to cool down before starting any cleaning procedures. Remove containers to make the unit cool down faster.
• Do not place the air fryer in water. Try to prevent splashes of water or other liquids from reaching the unit.

Troubleshooting

Problem		Possible Cause		Solution
The air fryer does not work		The appliance is not plugged in	Put the mains plug in an earthed wall socket
		You have not set the Timer	Turn the timer knob to the required peroration time to switch on the appliance
The ingredients fried with the air fryer are not done		The amount of ingredients in the basket is too big.	Put smaller batches of ingredients in the basket. Smaller batches are fried move evenly
		The set temperature is too low.	Turn the temperature control knob to the required Temperature setting (see section Settings’ in chapter ‘Using the appliance’).
The ingredients are fried unevenly in the air fryer		Certain types of ingredients need to be shaken halfway through the cooking time	Ingredients that lie on top of or across each other (e.g. fries) need to be shaken halfway through the cooking time. See section ‘Settings’ in chapter ‘Using the appliance’
Fried snacks are not crispy when they come out of the air fryer		You used a type of snacks meant to be prepared in a traditional deep fryer	Use oven snacks or lightly brush some oil onto the snacks for a crisper result.
I cannot slide the pan into the appliance properly		There are too many ingredients in the basket	Do not fill the basket beyond the MAX indication
		The basket is not placed in the pan correctly	Push the basket down into the pan until you hear a Click.
White smoke comes out from the appliance		You are preparing greasy ingredients	When you fry greasy ingredients in the fryer, a large amount of oil will leak into the pan. The oil produces white smoke and the pan may heat up more than usual. This does not affect the appliance or the end result.
		The pan still contains grease residues from previous use	White smoke is caused by grease heating up in the pan. Make sure you clean the pan properly after each use.
Fresh fries are fried unevenly in the air fryer		Wrong type of potato (not for frying) is being used.	Use fresh, firm, yellow potatoes. Use cut sticks and pat dry to remove excess starch. Make sure that they stay firm during frying.
		You did not rinse the potato sticks properly before you fried them.	Rinse the potato sticks properly to remove starch from the outside of the sticks.
Fresh fries are not crispy when they come out of the air fryer		The crispiness of the fries depends on the amount of oil and water in the fries.	Make sure you dry the potato sticks properly before you add the oil.
			Cut the potato sticks smaller for a crispier result
			Add slightly more oil for a crisper result.
