CLEANING & MAINTENANCE
HELPFUL TIPS
1
For consistent browning, make sure
ingredients are arranged in an even
layer on the bottom of the drawer
with no overlapping. If ingredients are
overlapping, make sure to shake them
halfway through the set cook time.
2
Cook temperature and time can be
adjusted at any time during cooking.
Simply select the zone you want to
adjust, then press the TEMP arrows
to adjust the temperature or the TIME
arrows to adjust the time.
3
To convert recipes from your conventional
oven, reduce the temperature by 10°C.
Check food frequently to avoid overcooking.
4
Occasionally, the fan from the air fryer
will blow lightweight foods around.
To alleviate this, secure foods (like the
top slice of bread on a sandwich)
with cocktail sticks.
5
The crisper plates elevate ingredients
in the drawers so air can circulate
under and around ingredients for
even, crisp results.
6
After selecting a cooking function, you
can press the START/STOP button to
begin cooking immediately. The unit will
run at the default temperature and time.
7
For best results with fresh vegetables
and potatoes, use at least 1 tablespoon
of oil. Add more oil as desired to achieve
the preferred level of crispiness.
8
For best results, check progress
throughout cooking and remove food
when desired level of brownness has
been achieved. We recommend using
an instant-read thermometer to monitor
the internal temperature of meat & fish.
After the cook time is complete, remove
food immediately to avoid overcooking.
9
For best results, remove food
immediately after the cook time is
complete to avoid overcooking.
The unit should be cleaned thoroughly after every use. Unplug the unit from the plug
socket and wait until the unit is fully cooled before cleaning.

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
• How do I adjust the temperature or time while using a single zone?
Select the active zone, then use the TEMP arrows to adjust the temperature or the
TIME arrows to adjust the time.
• How do I adjust the temperature or time while using dual zones?
Select the desired zone, then use the TEMP arrows to adjust the temperature or the
TIME arrows to adjust the time.
• Does the unit need to pre-heat?
The unit does not need to be pre-heated.
• Can I cook different foods in each zone and not worry about cross contamination?
Yes, both zones are self-contained with separate heating elements and fans.
• How do I pause the countdown?
The countdown timer will pause automatically when you remove the drawers from the
unit. Reinsert drawer within 2 minutes to resume cooking or the unit will automatically
switch off.
• How do I stop one zone when using both zones?
To stop one zone, first press the zone button then press START/STOP. To stop both
zones simply press the START/STOP button.
• Is the drawer safe to put on my worktop?
The drawer will heat up during cooking. Use caution when handling, and place on heat
resistant surfaces only.
• When should I use the crisper plate?
Use the crisper plate when you want food to come out crispy. The plate elevates the
food in the drawer so that air can flow under and around it to cook ingredients evenly.
• Why didn’t my food cook fully?
Make sure the drawer is fully inserted during cooking. For consistent browning, make
sure ingredients are arranged in an even layer on the bottom of the drawer with no
overlapping. Shake drawer to toss ingredients for even crispiness. Cook temperature
and time can be adjusted at any time during cooking. Simply use the TEMP arrows to
adjust the temperature or the TIME arrows to adjust the time.
• Why is my food burned?
For best results, check progress throughout cooking and remove food when desired
level of brownness has been achieved. Remove food immediately after the cook time is
complete to avoid overcooking.
• Why do some ingredients blow around when air frying?
Occasionally, the fan from the air fryer will blow lightweight foods around. Use wooden
cocktail sticks to secure loose lightweight food, like the top slice of bread on a sandwich.
• Can I air fry wet, battered ingredients?
Yes, but use the proper breading technique. It is important to coat foods first with flour,
then with egg, and then with bread crumbs. Press breading firmly onto the battered
ingredients, so crumbs won’t be blown off by the fan.
• Why is the unit beeping?
The food is done cooking or indicates that the other zone started cooking.
• Why did the display screen go black?
The unit is in standby mode. Press the power button to turn it back on.
• Why is there an “E” message on the display screen?
The unit is not functioning properly. Please contact Customer Service at 0800 862 0453.
