OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
HELPFUL HINTS
18. Leave cooked food inside for about 5-10 minutes before removing it from the basket or
removing the drawer.
19. After frying, remove the basket from the appliance and place it on a flat, heat-resistant
surface. Then remove the basket from the drawer.
20. After serving, return the basket back into the drawer or continue frying if required.
21. Disconnect the power plug from the power supply when not in use.
NOTE:
Programs can be selected by pressing the START/STOP button or by
removing the basket from the appliance. To resume the program, press the
START/STOP button once more or insert the basket into the appliance again
22.
WARNING:
Use extreme caution when handling the fry basket drawer while it is hot.
WARNING:
Beware of hot steam escaping when opening the lid.
23.
CAUTION:
Always wear oven mitts when handling the hot fry basket.
24.
CAUTION:
Hot oils can collect at the bottom of the drawer. To avoid bums or personal
injury or to prevent oil from contaminating cooked food. Do not overturn the frying basket
before remove the food from the basket, as this will cause any excess oil collected at
the bottom of the frying basket to spill onto the food. Always empty cooked food from the
frying basket into bowls or plated by using tongs to pick food items from the frying basket.
1. Olive oil spray or vegetable oil works well for air frying.
2. The appliance can cook pre-packaged foods with a fraction of the oil, in a fraction of
time. As a general rule, lower the recipe baking temperature by 10 ̊C depending on the
food and amount.
3. Do not overfill frying basket with food. NEVER fill any frying basket more 2⁄3 full.
4. It is not recommended to add more than 3 cups of food to the frying basket when air
frying fresh vegetables.
5. For best results, some foods need to be shaken vigorously or turned over during air
frying.
NOTE:
Consult the Air Frying Chart as a general guide.
6. It may be necessary to empty fat from the frying basket drawer when frying between
batches to avoid excess smoke when cooking naturally high-fat foods such as chicken
wings or sausages.
7. Always pat food dry before cooking to encourage browning and avoid excessive smoke.
8. Air fry small batches of freshly breaded foods. Press breading onto food to help it adhere.
Arrange in frying basket so that food is not overlapping to allow even air flow on
all surfaces.
9. The appliance can be used to reheat food by setting the temperature to 150 ̊C for up to
10 minutes.
AIR FRYING CHART
WARNING! ALWAYS USE A MEAT THERMOMETER TO ENSURE THAT MEATS,
INCLUDING POULTRY AND FISH ARE THOROUGHLY COOKED BEFORE EATING.
The following chart is intended as a guide only.The quantity of food air fried at one
time, the thickness or density of the food, and whether the food is fresh, thawed, or
rozen may alter the total cooking time necessary.
1. To assure even cooking/browning, open the frying basket drawer halfway through the
cooking time.
2. Check, turn or vigorously shake foods inside the frying basket. This chart estimates
average total air frying time, the time at which some action is required, and what action is to
be taken for best results.
3. Remember, frying smaller batches will result in shorter cooking times and higher food
quality. Adjust air frying temperatures and times as necessary to suit your taste.
