BEFORE USE
Check that the voltage of the appliance corresponds to the mains voltage of your home. Remove
all packaging from INSIDE and OUTSIDE and be sure you understand the controls. Therefore,
BE
SURE TO READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS FIRST BEFORE PROCEEDING
.
MAKE SURE IT IS SITUATED
IN LINE WITH THE IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
outlined in this booklet. Never use the AirChef
with anything that you would not otherwise use inside a regular oven, or are not designated as
oven-‐proof / oven ready by their manufacturer.
Wash the accessories and bowl in warm soapy water, rinse well and dry thoroughly before first
use. It is normal if some smoke or odour emanates from the appliance when first used.
BEFORE FIRST USE…practice with the Tongs, the Rotor Fryer opening hook and correctly lowering
the lid (using the safety catch). Practice with the AirChef switched off, disconnected and empty.
HOW TO OPERATE
Firstly, you must decide if you are cooking with the rack, rotisserie or Rotor Fryer. Use the rack
if you are using the AirChef as a regular halogen oven; use the rotisserie fork assembly for
rotary cooked food such as rotisserie chicken; use the Rotor Fryer accessory for chips (fresh or
frozen) and other small items such as chicken nuggets, stir fry that can be tumbled and cooked
in halogen hot air.
ALWAYS COOK WITH THE BOWL IN PLACE
.
1)
Ensure the AirChef is cool and unplugged
2)
Raise the Lid, ensure the appliance is cool.
3)
Fit the rack (choose a side), rotisserie spindle or Rotor Fryer basket (requires rotisserie
spindle but not forks). NEVER COOK without any of the above accessories in place.
4)
Close the lid, remember to activate the safety catch; press Start!
5)
Set the cooking duration and temperature or use the Guide menus (and use the + or – to
adjust the duration and temperature); set the Delay timer if appropriate.
6)
Press Start! again to initiate the cooking process
7)
Check every now and then in case the meal needs stirring or basting
8)
At the end, it will beep 3 times, cooking will stop though the fan may continue
9)
Switch off at the power supply
10)
Open the lid
11)
Serve from the bowl (if appropriate) or remove rotisserie spindle and place on the triangular
wireform rotisserie support or remove the Rotor Fryer assembly and place on that same
triangular wireform rotisserie support
12)
Keep lid open to aid cooling and help prolong the life of your AirChef
13)
When cool, the bowl and accessories can be lifted out and washed (dishwasher is OK)
14)
Refit after washing, note the bowl may require pushing in to fit (this is entirely normal)
15)
Store in a dry place…keep on your worktop to use next time!
16)
The rack can be placed either way, the long legs downwards raise it towards the heat
source; there will be little discernible difference in cooking time, but you’ll get more
browning the nearer the heat source your food is.
Using the rotisserie, take care to check that rotation is not impaired when the lid is
closed AND that the food does not contact with the heat source or its guard in the lid.
NEVER have the rotation impaired or the food
just
clearing the guard inside the head
(when closed) – you will cook unevenly and shorten the life of your AirChef (food
spatter will damage the halogen heater, not covered by your warranty).
Then fit into the AirChef; the Rotor Fryer fits in the same way (see pictures below), the
rotisserie spindle (without forks) threaded through the centre of the Rotor Fryer basket
1), 2)
3)
Assemble the rotisserie forks;
note the forks are placed with
the tightening key on either side
of the spindle.
Spear the food (typically chicken)
on the forks; tighten the forks
accordingly.
Pointed end into hole, through
bowl, by lid hinge
Square, blunt end with groove – the groove fitting
the bracket opposite on other side of bowl,
opposite to the lid hinge
