Caution!
Do not touch the food basket, basket holder, or the inside of the Air Fryer during and
immediately after use, as they get very hot. Only hold the food basket by its handle.
Always use oven mitts. Unit is hot!
4.
Determine the required preparation time and cooking temperature for the ingredients (see
section ‘Settings’ after this chapter).
5.
Press the red ON/OFF key to start the unit and adjust the time and temperature settings as
desired.
6.
Press the +/- time adjustment keys to increase or decrease the cooking time. A short press
will increase or decrease the cooking time by 1 minute; a long press will increase or
decrease the cooking time rapidly by increments of 1 minute.
7.
Press the +/- temperature adjustment keys to increase or decrease the cooking tempera-
ture. A short press will increase or decrease the cooking temperature by 5 degrees, a long
press will increase or decrease the temperature rapidly by increments of 5 degrees.
8.
Press the ON/OFF key again to start air frying. Alternatively, selecting a time, temperature or
preset will start the unit automatically after 5 seconds if no key is pressed afterwards.
9.
The spinning “Fan” icon will turn on and start to blink continuously indicating that the fryer is
working. The timer will start counting down the set time.
10.
During the air frying process, the fan will continue blinking indicating that the air fryer is
functioning. A noticeable click sound indicates when the set temperature has been reached
and the heating element goes off. The click sound will be heard multiple times during
operation indicating that the air fryer is maintaining the set temperature.
11.
During cooking, excess oil and cooking juices from the ingredients will collect in the basket
holder. This is to be expected.
12.
Some recipes require shaking the food in the basket halfway through the set time (see
section ’Settings’ in this chapter). To shake the ingredients, pull the basket out of the
appliance using the handle. Then gently, but firmly, shake it. Slide the basket holder back
into the Air Fryer and continue to cook.
Note:
Because the rapid hot air technology instantly reheats the air inside of the appliance, pulling
the basket briefly out of the appliance during hot air frying will not disturb the cooking
process.
Tip:
Sometimes, it is easier to divide cooking times into 2 phases for recipes that require the
basket to be shaken mid-cooking. If you set the timer to half the required cooking time, you
will hear the timer bell go off when you must shake the ingredients.
Tip
: If you set the timer to the full cooking time, the timer bell will not go off until cooking is
completed. You can pull the basket out at any time to check the cooking condition of the
ingredients. The power will shut down automatically and resume after you slide the basket
holder back into the appliance. Note that the timer stops counting down automatically in this
situation.
13.
When you hear the timer bell (5 beeps), the set preparation time has elapsed. Using oven
mitts and the basket handle, pull the basket holder out of the appliance and place it on a
heat-resistant surface.
Note
: You can also switch the appliance off at any time. To do this, simply press the ON/OFF key.
The ON/OFF icon turns red while the fan continues to function for 15 seconds, cooling down
the unit before shutting down.
14.
Check to see if the ingredients are ready. If they are not ready, simply slide the basket back i
nto the appliance and set the timer for a few extra minutes.
