COOKING GUIDELINES
Temperature Control Dial
Select air frying temperatures of between 140°C to 200°C. The temperature can be adjusted during
cooking. Once your desired temperature is reached the green heat light will come on.
Countdown Timer Dial (30 Minutes)
Once the timer dial is set, the red power light will show the air fryer is cooking. You can open the frying
drawer halfway through your cooking time to make sure the food is ok. If needed you can give
chips etc a shake in the basket.
IMPORTANT: When you pull the drawer out from the air fryer it will turn off
(the red power light will go out) but the timer will keep going.
Once the drawer is replaced the air frying will continue to cook. When the timer has reached zero it will
make a beeping sound and the air fryer will turn off automatically. Once you’re finished cooking turn
the temperature control dial to min and the timer to 0 (off).
