chicken or roast, 1.5-2kg.
WARNING: Forks, skewers and other metal parts with this unit are sharp and
will get extremely hot during use. Great care should be taken to avoid personal
injury. Wear mitts or gloves.

OPERATION
Note:
Never wash or submerge the cooking unit in water.
WARNING: Never use a cooking vessel filled with cooking oil or any other
liquid with this unit. Fire hazard or personal injury could result.
WARNING:
•Never place anything on top of the appliance.
•Never cover the air vents on the top and back of the cooking unit.
•Never fill any cooking vessel with oil or liquid of any kind. This unit cooks with
hot air only.
•Never use the air fryer door as a place to rest a hot fry basket filled with
food. The hot fry basket could damage the air fryer door or cause the unit to
tip. Personal injury could result.
•Always use oven mitts when removing hot air fryer racks.

Cooking with the rotisserie air fryer
1. Place the ingredients on airflow rack, one of the rotisserie accessories or in the
rotating mesh basket.
2. Put the airflow rack, rotating mesh basket or rotisserie spit, into the unit and shut
the air fryer door. Plug the power cord into a dedicated 220V outlet.
3. When rotating mesh basket or rotisserie and food is in place, press the power
button once (Page 8)
4. Select a Preset function as shown on page 8 or manually set the Temperature and
then the Time (Page 8 fig. 4, 5, 6, 7). Refer to the detailed control panel instructions
on page 8.
5. Press the power button to begin cooking cycle.
Tips:
•Foods that are smaller in size usually require a slightly shorter cooking time than
large ones.
•Flipping or turning smaller sized foods halfway through the cooking process will
help ensure all the pieces are evenly fried.
•Misting a bit of vegetable oil to fresh potatoes is suggested for a crispier result.
When adding a little oil, do so just before cooking.
•Snacks normally cooked in an air fryer can also be cooked in the rotisserie air fryer.
•Use the pre-made dough to prepare filled snacks quickly and easily. The pre-made
dough also requires a shorter cooking time than homemade dough.
•Place a baking tin or air fryer dish in the rotisserie air fryer when baking a cake or
quiche. A tin or dish is also suggested when cooking fragile or filled foods.
•You can use the rotisserie air fryer to reheat food; simply set the temperature to
150°C.
Note:
You may open the air fryer door to view the rotisserie at any time during the process
to check the progress.
Note:
Consult the charts in this manual or the recipe guide to determine the correct
settings.
