COOKING
The Vortex Plus uses rapid air circulation to crisp or cook food, giving
your meals all the rich, crispy flavour of deep frying, with little to no oil.
HOT SURFACES
The air fryer will be hot during and after cooking. Always exercise
extreme caution when removing food from the hot cooking
chamber. Touching hot surfaces may result in personal injury,
and/or property damage.
MUST ALLOW AIR FLOW
To prevent personal injury, do not block air intake or air vents.
What to cook in
The cooking basket and cooking tray are perforated to allow air to flow
under and around your food, and should be used for most foods, like
wings and cauliflower bites.
You can place food right on the cooking tray, without using foil or other coverings.
For the Baking programme only, you can use a metal or glass baking
dish to hold things like batter for cakes and dough for breads. Place the
baking dish inside the cooking basket for baking. Leave approximately
2.5 cm of space around all sides of the baking dish to allow heat to
circulate evenly.
How to cook
These instructions explain how to cook using one basket at a time.
See below for information on using both baskets.
Prep
Thaw, cut, season or batter your ingredients according to your recipe.
