Hints & Tips
Airfrying Tips:
nAirfrying is a healthly alternative to frying. Many foods that can be fried,
can be airfried without using excess amounts of oil. Airfried foods will
taste lighter and less greasy, than deep-fried foods.
nMost oils can be used for airfrying. Olive oil is preffered for a richer
flavour. Vegetable, canola or grapeseed oil is recommended for a mild
flavour.
nDistribute oil evenly on food, to achieve the crispiest and most
golden results. Oil can be sprayed or brushed onto foods for airfrying.
Alternatively, olive oil and non-stick cooking sprays can be used.
nAn assortment of coatings can be used on airfry foods. Some examples of
different crumb mixtures include: breadcrumbs, seasoned breadcrumbs,

15
panko breadcrumbs, quinoa and various flours.
nMost foods do not need to be flipped during cooking, but larger items,
like chicken fillets, should be flipped halfway during cooking to ensure
quick, even cooking and browning.
nWhen airfrying large quantities of food, that crowd the pan, toss food
halfway through cooking, to ensure even cooking and colouring.
nUse higher temperatures for foods that cook quickly, like bacon and
chips and use lower temperatures for foods that take longer to cook,
like breaded chicken.
nFoods will cook more evenly, if they are cut to the same size.
nLine the baking tray with aluminum foil, for easier cleaning.
nPlease note that when most foods cook, they release water. When
cooking large quantities for an extended period of time, condensation
may build up, which could leave moisture on your countertop.
Baking Tips:
nSelect bake for more deliciate items like custards, cakes and eggs.
nMost baked goods, as well as larger items like chicken, are cooked in
rack position 1.
nUse the baking tray in rack position 1 for fresh pizza. For frozen pizza,
place directly onto the oven rack, in position 2, to cook.
Roasts & Pizzas Tips:
nSelect roasts & pizzas for baked goods, which require even browning,
such as scones and breads, as well as for roasts and poultry. Roasts &
pizzas is also perfect for baking evenly browned and cripsy homemade
pizzas.
nMost recipes recommend reducing heat or temperature by 3 - 4˚C, when
convection baking.
nAlways check to ensure food is cooked properly, at least 10 minutes
before the end of the suggested cooking time.
Grilling Tips:
nFor best results, use the provided airfryer basket, fitted inside the baking
Tray, to grill.
nNever use glass oven dishes to grill.
nBe sure to keep an eye on food – items can burn easily, when grilling.

16
Cleaning & Maintenance
nBefore first use and after every use, clean each part thoroughly.
nAlways allow the oven to cool completely before cleaning.
nAlways unplug the oven from the mains.
nDo not use abrasive cleaners, hard implements or a scourer, as this may
cause damage to the finish. Simply wipe the exterior with a clean, damp
cloth and dry thoroughly. Apply the cleaning solution to a cloth, not
directly onto the toaster oven, before cleaning.
nTo clean the interior, use a damp cloth and a mild liquid soap solution or
a spray, onto a sponge. Never use harsh abrasives or corrosive products.
These could damage the oven surface. Never use steel wool pads or
metal scourers on the interior of the oven.
nThe oven rack, baking tray, airfryer basket and crumb tray should be
handwashed in hot, soapy water. They are NOT dishwasher safe.
nAfter cooking greasy foods and after your oven has cooled, always clean
the top interior of the oven. If this is done on a regular basis, your oven
will perform like new. Removing the grease will help keep the tasting
consistent, cycle after cycle.
nTo remove crumbs, slide out the crumb tray and discard crumbs. Wipe
clean and replace. To remove baked on grease, soak the tray in hot,
sopay water. Never operate the oven without the crumb tray in place.
nNever wrap the cord around the outside of the oven. Use the cord
storage cleats on the back of the oven.
N.B. Do not use abrasive cleaners, hard implements or a scourer, as this
may cause damage to the non-stick coating.

Airfrying Guidelines
The chart below lists recommended cooking times and portions, for various
types of foods that can be airfried in the AirFryer Mini Oven. If portion

require less time. For best airfry results, use the oven light to regularly
