Air Fry
Air frying is an alternative to deep frying for crispy results, with the use of less oil. Not all
foods will benefit from being tossed in oil prior to being air fried. Frozen foods and foods
with a high fat content such as chicken wings or bacon do not require oil. To achieve crispy
and browned results on foods such as hand-cut fries or vegetables, evenly coat food with
about one tablespoon of oil. Large quantities of food can benefit from being tossed halfway
through the cooking cycle to ensure even cooking and browning.
Your Air Fryer Oven has 3 Air Fry Presets: FRIES, WINGS, VEGGIES where the 2 heating
elements, extra air fryer heater and a powerful fan are turned on in these settings. You
can also air fry other foods by adjusting the time and temperature on the AIR FRY preset
as required.
Guide to oils and fats when air frying
Using your Air Fryer Oven to air fry food will help you to reduce the amount of oil needed
in some recipes.
The table below lists some of the more widely available, popular oils. All of them can
be used in your Air Fryer Oven. However, for best results, we recommend Vegetable or
grapeseed oil.

Convection
Ideal for roasting dinners, cooking big meats or evenly browning your food. The upper and
lower heating elements are turned on and hot air is circulated gently and evenly to achieve
a moist but crispy outcome.
Pizza
Cook fresh or frozen pizza in your air fryer oven.
Bake
Suitable for baking homemade biscuits, cakes, cookies and muffins.
Toast
Use this setting for sandwiches or open melts. Both the upper and lower heating elements
are switched on to achieve a toasted sandwich on both sides. For best results, place the
wire rack in the middle position. Toasting times will vary depending on the type of bread
used. Sweet and fruit breads generally take less time than white or wholemeal bread.
Grill
Use this setting for grilling sausages and other types of meats. The upper heating element
is switched on to achieve a controlled temperature for a range of rare to well done cooking
of meats.
Dehydrate
Dehydrating fruits, herbs and flowers removes moisture from food so you can enjoy these
for a longer period of time and when stored in air-tight storage jars depending on the type
of food and climate.
Defrost
Use this setting to defrost frozen meats. The default time is 65 degrees but can be
adjusted depending on the size and thickness of food.
Keep Warm
Keep your food warm after grilling, baking, or toasting prior to serving.
