11. After the cooking time and temperature are set, touch the POWER button again to start the
cooking.
a. The rotating fan indicator light (blue) and heating indicator star (red) will light up.
b. The timer starts counting down the set preparation time.
c. During the process, the ‘heating-up’ light comes on and goes out from time to time. This indicates
that the heating element is switched on and off to maintain the set temperature.
12. During the cooking process, oil 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.
13. For cooking of some ingredients, it requires you to toss contents of the basket during the cooking
process to ensure even cooking and avoid charring of ingredients positioned at the top of the basket.
When tossing is needed, you can remove the pan and basket without affecting the timer. The
appliance will stop heating when the pan and basket are pulled out. After tossing, place the pan and
basket back into the appliance to resume cooking.
WARNING! Do not press the basket release button when tossing the ingredients to keep the pan
attached. Otherwise, the pan could fall out and cause serious injuries to the user or splashing hot oil
from the pan.
TIP You can set the timer for half of the cooking time. When time has elapsed and the beeping sound
activates, remove the pan from the appliance to toss the ingredients. When placing the pan back in
the appliance again, reset the timer for the balance of the cooking time.
14. When you hear the ‘beep’ sound 5 times, the set time has elapsed and the cooking cycle is
completed. The appliance is now in standby mode.
15. 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.
16. Remove the pan from the appliance, only holding by the handle as other surfaces are hot and
place it on a heat-resistant surface. Press the basket release button to remove the basket and tip
contents onto a dish. To remove large or delicate ingredients from the basket, do not tip them out.
Pick them up with a pair of tongs.
17. After you have completed using your appliance, remove the plug from the wall socket immediately
and allow it 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 and could drip out.
NOTE You can manually switch off the appliance by touching the power key at any time during the
cooking process if you are unable to supervise. The red heating indicator star will go out and the blue
rotating fan indicator will still keep lighting for 15seconds. Then you will hear the ‘beep’ sound 5
times, and the appliance will stop working. The appliance is now in standby mode.
IMPORTANT! NEVER LEAVE THE UNIT UNATTENDED WHEN IN USE.
OPERATION (cont.) SETTINGS
To assist with selection of cooking times and maximum basket volumes for specific ingredients, refer
to the cooking manual in this booklet.
NOTE 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 for the time and temperature set to achieve
your desired 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 ingredients during the cooking process barely disturbs the process.
TIPS
- Small ingredients usually require a slightly shorter preparation time than larger ingredients.
- A larger amount of ingredients only requires a slightly longer preparation time, a smaller amount of
ingredients only requires a slightly shorter preparation time.
- Shaking smaller ingredients halfway during the preparation time optimizes the end result and can
help prevent unevenly fried ingredients.
- Do not prepare extremely greasy ingredients such as sausages in the air fryer.
- Snacks can be prepared in an oven can also be prepared in the air fryer.
- The optimal amount for prepare crispy fries is 1.1 lbs / 500 grams. For best results with home-made
fries, soak the cut fries 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 fries are coated.
- Use pre-made dough to get snacks quickly and easily. Pre-made dough also requires a shorter
preparation time than home-made dough.
- Please a baking tin or oven dish in the fryer basket if you want to bake a cake or quiche or if you want
to fry fragile ingredients or filled ingredients.
- Pre-packed snacks like bread crumbed fish or chicken drumsticks only need to be coated lightly with
olive oil.
- You can also use the air fryer to heat ingredients. To heat ingredients, set the temperature to 302°F
for up to 10 minutes.
