Your Air Fryer can be used to cook fresh or frozen foods. Always ensure that the
ingredients are evenly coated with oil. This appliance is not intended to cook popcorn.
1. Plug the Air Fryer into an electrical outlet.
2. Turn the temperature control knob to the required temperature.
3. To switch the Air Fryer on, turn the time control knob to the desired cooking time. The
power and heating lights will illuminate.
Note:
For best results, add an additional 3-5 minutes for preheat before placing food
in the Air Fryer.
4. Use the handle to gently pull the cooking basket from the air fryer. Ensure that the
cooking tray is properly in place and place food in the cooking basket. Replace
the basket back into the air fryer properly. If the basket is not inserted properly, the
appliance will not operate.
5. To ensure crispiness, some foods require shaking halfway through the cooking process.
To do this, pull the cooking basket out of the appliance by the handle and gently shake/
stir the food. Then slide the basket back into the air fryer and continue to cook.
Note:
The removable cooking tray may move out of place when shaking/stirring food
in the basket. Ensure the cooking tray is in the proper position before returning the
basket to the air fryer to continue cooking.
6. When you hear the timer bell, the set cooking time has finished. Pull the basket out of
the appliance and place it on a heat resistant surface. Check if the foods are ready. If
not, simply put back into the Air Fryer and set the time for a few extra minutes.
7. When the food is ready, carefully pull the cooking basket from the air fryer and empty
food into serving bowl or plate. Be careful that the cooking tray does not come loose.
For larger more fragile items, use tongs to lift the food out of the basket.
8. Do not use metallic utensils to take food residues out from the cooking tray or the
cooking basket.
9. Use heat resistant, non-metallic utensils, to take out food from the removable cooking
tray.

The following table provides basic cooking guidelines for popular and frozen foods.
Please note that due to the variations in thickness and size of the foods being cooked
some experimentation may be required for the best cooking results. Always ensure that
the food is thoroughly cooked to food-safe temperature throughout before consuming.
Note:
For crispier results it is recommended to shake the fryer basket 1-2 times
throughout the cooking cycle.
