GETTING THE BEST
RESULTS FROM YOUR
AIR FRYER OVEN:
Cooking time:
•
The cooking time will depend on the
size of your ingredients. Smaller sizes
may require a shorter cooking time.
•
In general the cooking times are
shorter than in a conventional oven.
Start with shorter cooking times and
then adapt the cooking times to your
personal taste.
•
Whilst becoming familiar with the
appliance it is advisable to check the
condition of the food during cooking
to ensure that it does not burn. To do
this, open the air fryer oven door or
switch on the light using the key.
Turning and rotating food:
•
“Flipping” or turning smaller sized
foods halfway through the cooking
process, assures that all the pieces are
evenly fried.
•
It may be necessary to rotate the air
flow racks during the cooking process
in order to ensure even cooking of all
foods.

Using the
Accessories
section details the heat
variations within the appliance.
Accessories:
•
If using a cooking vessel on the air
flow racks, non-stick coated or enamel
coated ovenware is recommended in
order to allow for greater heat transfer.
NOTE:
Using cooking vessels may
affect the cooking due to the
reduction in air flow.
•
If using air flow racks without a
cooking vessel keep in mind that food
residues may drip on to food items on
shelves below.
Food tips:
•
Snacks that can be prepared in an
oven can also be prepared in the air
fryer oven.
•
There is no need to add any oil to
frozen chips as most frozen products
are generally pre-fried. When
preparing frozen chips or other frozen
convenience products, follow the
manufacturer’s specifications on
the packaging. Be cautious of using
extremely greasy ingredients such as
sausages in the air fryer oven.
•
The air fryer oven can be used to
reheat food; Set the temperature to
150°C for up to 10 minutes.
