FRYING TIPS

AIR FRYING TIPS

• Smaller ingredients require a shorter amount of cooking time

than larger ingredients.

• Shaking smaller ingredients halfway during the preparation

time optimizes the end result and can avoid unevenly fried

ingredients.

• Never overll, as this will damage the air fryer. Use caution when

removing the cooking chamber from the unit, as contents will be

very hot.

• A small amount of water (3-4 tbsp.) can be added to the

cooking chamber for steaming food. Use caution when removing

the cooking chamber from the unit, as ingredients and any

remaining steam or water will be very hot.

• Frozen foods, such as fries, chicken nuggets and sh sticks can

be prepared by following the cooking chart.

• Snacks that can be prepared in an oven can also be prepared

in the air fryer.

• Place an oven safe dish in the air fryer cooking chamber when

baking a cake or quiche.

• For a crisp texture- spray oil over ingredients in the cooking

chamber.

• Use the air fryer to reheat food by setting the temperature to

300ºF for up to 10 minutes.

Note: Because the rapid hot air technology instantly reheats the air

inside the appliance, pulling the pan out of the appliance during use,

for a short amount of time, will not eect the process.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Put the main plug in an earthed wall socket.

Tap the timer control icon to the required prepara-

tion time to turn on the appliance.

Slide the pan into the appliance properly.

Put smaller batches of ingredients in the basket.

Smaller batches are fried more evenly.

Tap the temperature control icon to the required

temperature setting.

(see ‘Settings Chart’on page 12).

Tap the timer control icon to the required

preparation time.

(see ‘Settings Chart’on page 12).

Ingredients that lie on top of or across each other

(e.g.fries) need to be shaken halfway through the

preparation time.

(see ‘Settings Chart’on page 12).

Use oven snacks or lightly brush some oil onto the

snacks for a crispier result.

Do not ll the basket beyond max line

(see ‘Settings Chart’on page 12).

Push the basket down into the pan until you hear

a click.

When you fry greasy ingredients in the air fryer, a

large amount of oil will leak into the pan.The oil

produces white smoke and the pan may heat up

more than usual.This does not aect the appliance

or the end result.

White smoke is caused by grease heating up in the

pan- make sure you clean the pan properly after

each use.

Use fresh potatoes and make sure they stay rm

during frying.

Rinse the potato sticks properly to remove starch

from the outside of the sticks.

Make sure you dry the potato sticks properly

before you add the oil.

Cut the potato sticks smaller for a crispier result.

Add slightly more oil for a crispier result.

correctly.

You are preparing greasy ingredients.

The pan still contains grease residues

from previous use.
