Before Using For The First Time

Handwash the removable parts, rinse, and dry.
When using your air fryer for the first time, you may notice smoke or a slight odor for the first few minutes of cooking. This is normal. Ensure the room is well-ventilated.

Preparation

Set the appliance on a stable, level, heat-resistant surface.
Leave a space of at least 50mm all around the appliance.
Have oven gloves (or a tea towel) on hand, use heat-resistant plastic tongs, and a heat-resistant mat or dinner plate to rest the basket on.
Do not use metal tongs as they may scratch the coating. We recommend using only heat-resistant plastic or silicon-coated tongs.

Grip the basket handle with the other hand.
Slide the basket out of the body (Fig. A).
Rest the basket on a heat-resistant mat.

Making Adjustments

When first connected to the power outlet, the digital touchscreen icons will all illuminate for several seconds. Following this, only the on/off icon (H) will be illuminated.
Touch the on/off icon (H) to turn on your air fryer. Your air fryer will be in manual cooking mode and the default cooking time and temperature (15 minutes, 200ºC) will be displayed.
You can now select an auto-cooking function or use the manual cooking mode.

Select an auto-cooking function

Tap the menu (E) icon to step through the cooking modes.
Each tap of the menu icon will advance the cooking mode and the icon applicable to that mode will be illuminated.

Select Manual Cooking Mode

Tap the menu (E) icon until none of the auto-cooking icons are illuminated.

Adjusting the cooking time or the temperature

Once you have selected the desired cooking mode, tap the (L) icon and then tap the (G)and(F) icons to increase or decrease the cooking temperature as desired.
To adjust the cooking time, tap the (M) icon and then tap the (G)and(F)icons to increase or decrease the cooking time as desired.

Preheating

We recommend preheating your air fryer for 5 minutes when using the manual mode, or whenever preheating is necessary.

Select manual cooking mode if it is not already selected.
Set the cooking time to 5 minutes.
Tap the on/off icon (H) to start the preheating cycle.
Your air fryer will show the cooking time and the temperature alternately.
When the cooking time reaches zero, your air fryer will beep 5 times and switch off.

Cooking

Place the crisping plate inside the basket.
Place desired food into the cooking basket. Do not overfill the basket, to leave space for the hot air to circulate between pieces of food.
Slide the basket back into the air fryer body, ensuring it clicks into place and sits flush within your air fryer body. Your air fryer will not work unless the basket is properly inserted.
Select the desired cooking settings.
Tap the on/off icon (H) to start cooking.
To stop cooking at any time tap the (H) icon.
Halfway through cooking, remove the basket, shake it, and/or turn the food over, then place the basket back into the body to resume the cooking cycle. This ensures the food is evenly cooked and crispy all over.
Once the cooking time has elapsed, the timer will beep 5 times and the unit will switch off.
Slide the basket out of the body and check that the food is cooked.
Place the basket on an insulated mat.

Notes

To remove food from the basket, we recommend using tongs. We do not recommend tipping the basket upside down as oil residue will drip out.
Hot oil from the ingredients may gather at the bottom of the basket. Be careful when removing the crisping plate from the basket.
Unplug the appliance, once all cooking is complete.
Your air fryer will switch off when you remove the basket.
Your air fryer will switch back on when you replace the basket with the body and will automatically resume the cooking cycle from where it stopped.
During the last minute of the cooking cycle, ‘00’ will be flashing on the display screen, indicating that there is less than 1 minute of cooking remaining

Note

High-fat foods (e.g. pork) may create smoke. This is normal as oil residue is cooked at a high temperature. Reducing temperature may decrease the effect of smoke.

Care And Maintenance

Unplug the appliance.
Leave everything to cool down.

Basket and Crisping Plate

Once the air-fryer has cooled, remove the basket from the air-fryer body for cleaning.
Wipe the body’s interior to remove any crumb or residue, but DO NOT wipe the heating elements at the top.
Remove the crisping plate from the basket.
Dispose of food residue and oils, and wipe the crisping plate and basket with a damp cloth before washing them in warm to hot soapy water. Dry thoroughly before placing it back in the air fryer body.

The basket and crisping tray can also be washed in a dishwasher.

Exterior Surfaces

Clean the exterior with a damp cloth or sponge. Dry thoroughly
