LAKELAND TOUCHSCREEN AIR FRYER
Thank you for choosing the Lakeland Touchscreen Air Fryer.
Please take a little time to read this booklet before getting started and keep it in a safe
place for future reference.
Our Touchscreen Air Fryer helps you cook your favourite food the healthier way, using little
or no oil.
Versatile, quick and convenient, the top grill circulates hot air to cook your food
evenly from all directions, so you can cook meat, fish, poultry and seafood to perfection.
Fantastic for frozen foods like French fries and scampi too, and you can fry up to 500
grams of crisp, delicious, guilt-free home-made chips with just a single teaspoon of oil.
With a more compact footprint than other air fryers, there’s no messy oil to change and
less of the odours associated with traditional deep fat fryers. It’s simple to use with an LED
touchscreen control panel, and a clear countdown timer helps you keep track of progress.
Here at Lakeland, our award-winning family-owned business still offers the same excellent
quality, value for money and exceptional customer service as when we founded the
company back in the 1960s.
Our products are hand-picked and thoroughly tested so you can be sure that everything
you purchase will be a pleasure to use for many years to come.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
• PLEASE NOTE: This is an oil free fryer that works on hot
air DO NOT fill the pan with oil or any other liquid. Do
not exceed the ‘MAX’ mark when putting your
ingredients into the basket.
• Place the Air Fryer on a flat heat resistant surface near a socket. The Air Fryer must be
used in a well ventilated area, at least 30cm away from walls and other surfaces to
allow sufficient airflow.
• When using the Air Fryer for the first time you may notice a slight burning smell. This is
normal for a new heating element and will disappear after a few uses.
• Plug in and switch on the Air Fryer at the socket, the appliance will beep, the display
will briefly illuminate and the power light will illuminate blue.
• Press and hold the ON/OFF button , there will be a beep.
• The control panel will illuminate and show the default
temperature of 180°C. The default time of 15:00 minutes
will be flashing.

minute increments up to 60:00 minutes. You can press and hold the (+) or (-) buttons
to skip quickly through the time.
• NOTE: When setting the cooking time add around 2 minutes to allow the Air Fryer to

from 80-200°C. You can press and hold the (+) or (-) buttons
to skip quickly through the temperatures.
• When setting your cooking cycle, if no buttons are pressed for 5 seconds, the

Excess oil from your food is drained through the basket into the pan during cooking.
• Slide the pan and basket back into the Air Fryer, when the pan is replaced the cooking
cycle will automatically continue.

11
CHECKING YOUR FOOD
• We recommend checking your food during cooking and shaking ingredients gently
halfway through to prevent unevenly cooked food.
• Slide the pan and basket out of the Air Fryer using the handle.
• The Air Fryer will automatically go into ‘pause’ mode and the display lights will
go out, gently shake your ingredients. When the pan is replaced the cycle will
automatically continue.
• Do not use metal utensils with the pan and basket, this will damage the non-stick
coating, use heat resistant plastic or wooden utensils if you need to turn your food.
• When checking ingredients, place the pan and basket on a heat resistant
board.
• Temperatures and timings can be altered during the cooking
cycle if your food needs longer.

increase the temperature if needed.

cooking cycle.

the time will flash 00:00.
• Check your food is ready. If not, slide the pan back into the cooking cavity and set the
time for an additional 5 minutes.
• When removing food, do not turn the pan and basket upside down as any hot oil
residue which has drained into the bottom of the pan will spill onto your food. Place
the pan on a heat resistant surface, remove the basket from the pan and tip your food
onto a plate or remove with tongs.
• Press and hold the POWER button until the Air Fryer turns off and the power light
goes out.
• The motor fan may continue to run until the appliance has cooled down. When the fan
has stopped, switch off and unplug at the socket.
• Allow the appliance to cool down completely before moving, cleaning or storing.

12
A GUIDE TO INGREDIENTS and HINTS AND TIPS
• Do not cook extremely oily or greasy food, such as sausages, in the Air Fryer.
Hot oil can spit onto the heating element and cause the appliance to smoke.
• You can cook snacks that would normally be cooked in an oven in the Air Fryer.
• You can use the Air Fryer to reheat ingredients, set the temperature to 150°C
for 10 minutes.
• Cut food into even sizes for even cooking.
CHIPS
We recommend Maris Piper and King Edward potatoes for making chips. Store them in a
dark cellar or in a cool cupboard away from light.
When you have peeled your potatoes, wash them thoroughly before cutting, and wash
again once they have been cut - this will remove the starch.
Dry the chips using a highly absorbent clean tea towel or kitchen towel.
Coat your chips in oil and cook within a few minutes of adding the oil.
The thinner the chips, the crispier they will be. The thicker the chips, the fluffier on the
inside they will be.
Change the cooking time according to the thickness of your chips. If you prefer chips to
be crispy, try cooking for a couple more minutes.
To add a different taste to your chips, you can coat them in different types of oil.
You can also cook frozen chips in the Touchscreen Air Fryer, as they are pre-cooked there is
no need to add oil.

13
A GUIDE TO COOKING TIMES
Here is a guide to cooking times for different types of food.
This is a guide only, times will vary depending on whether the food is in season, its size,
thickness and your preference on how well you like your food cooked (e.g. steak).
For frozen food, use the cooking times and temperatures on the packet.
Whilst you are getting to grips with cooking times, monitor your food and cook for a
couple more minutes if needed.
Ensure food is thoroughly cooked before serving.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Question: Why is the Touchscreen Air Fryer not working?
Answer: Check that the appliance is plugged in and switched on at the socket and the
power light is illuminated.
The Touchscreen Air Fryer has overheat protection. If the inner temperature
has exceeded a safe working temperature of 380°C there is a fault and the
fuse has cut out. Contact the Lakeland customer care team.
Question: Why is my food not cooked properly?
Answer: There may be too much food in the basket – check the recommended
amount on the table on page 13. Alternatively, put smaller batches into the
Air Fryer – this will ensure food is cooked more evenly.
The temperature may be too low, increase the cooking temperature.
The cooking time may not be long enough, cook for another 5 minutes.
Question: Why is the food cooked unevenly?
Answer: Some foods, such as chips and nuggets, need to be shaken half-way through
cooking.
Question: Why are the home-made chips not crispy?
Answer: Ensure you use the right type of potato (some give better results). When
preparing the chips, make sure they are the same size, wash and dry them
before putting in the Air Fryer to remove the starch and lightly coat with oil
to obtain a crisper result.
Question: Why will the pan not slide into the Air Fryer?
Answer: The basket is overfilled – remove some of the food and make sure it does not
exceed the ‘MAX’ mark.
The basket may not be placed into the pan correctly. Push the basket down
into the pan until you hear it click.
Question: Why is there excess steam coming out of the Air Fryer?
Answer: The ingredients you are cooking are too greasy to be cooked in the Air Fryer,
the oil and fat from the ingredients may have splashed onto the heating
element. Switch off the Air Fryer and clean - see ‘Care and Cleaning’.
There may be residues from previous cooking, make sure the basket and pan
are cleaned properly after each use.

15
