COOKING GUIDE
A new healthier way to cook your favourite foods. No need to deep fry anymore. Most foods do not require oils
at all. The air fryer uses hot air circulated by high speed fan and heat from an overhead grill element.
Tips
1. When cooking large quantities smaller sized ingredients are best producing shorter cooking time and
more consistent finished product.
2. Do not over fill the baskets. Overfilling the basket with food will lengthen the cooking time and effect the
air circulation, hindering consistent cooking.
3. When cooking items such as fries shake the basket once or twice during cooking. This ensures even
cooking
4. Warning! Do not place oils into the cooking bowls. Apply oils, cooking sprays to food item if required
pre-cooking. There is no need to cook with oils in the pan. Apply a small amount to the bottom of basket
if required to stop food sticking only.
5. If there is a large amount of smoke remove the cooking pan assembly and drain excess oils that may
have occurred. If using foods that are high in fat reduce the amount in the basket.
6. When first using always undercook until you are familiar with the appliance.
Times are a guide only dependent on size and freshness of food choice. If cooking from cold it is recommended
to add 2-3 minutes to the cooking time also or alternatively pre-heat the appliance before cooking by heating for
2-3 minutes.
Warning! Handle hot surfaces with care use heat protectant gloves or similar.
