Electric Air Fryer / Oven

Introduction

With the electric air fryer/oven, you can prepare delicious, healthy meals in considerably less time to that of

traditional methods through the forced circulation of hot air around the food. The air fryer improves upon

traditional ovens in the following ways:

•The appliance uses a circular pot with a lid mounted fan and heating element that circulates hot air all

around the food. This creates a tornado-like flow of super-heated air that cooks and browns food quickly

and thoroughly.

•The appliance uses cooking racks that allow you to cook two separate items at once. In addition, when

meat, poultry, or fish is cooked, fats and oils are drained away. You will cook lighter, more nutritious

meals.

•The appliance cooks food from all sides to provide even cooking and is generally 50% faster than

traditional oven cooking.

•The appliance lid is glass, so you can clearly see the food being cooked.

Before Use Check List

Cooking Guidelines

Always ensure that food is adequately cooked before consumption. • Ensure that you use the

supplied tongs, heat resistant mitts or other appropriate utensils to remove food and cookware from

the appliance. Do not touch the food or the appliance or any of the internal accessories as they may be

extremely hot. • Cooking time and temperature settings may need to be adjusted for food size/quantity, food

manufacturer instructions, and /or individual taste. All cooking settings can be adjusted at any time.

1. Before cooking, it is suggested that you lightly coat the inside of the bowl and racks etc with cooking

spray. This will help prevent food sticking and also make cleaning easier.

2. Place the bowl inside the appliance base, ensuring it is central and sits flat. The bowl has a protrusion on

one side that prevents it from being placed in an incorrect position.

3. Place the food to be cooked into the bowl using the appropriate accessory (rotisserie, rack etc). The type

of accessory used will be dependent on the type of food being cooked. When using the rack, the high

position (rack standing on long legs) is best for grilling, broiling, crisping or cooking well done cuts of

meat; the low position (rack standing on low legs) is best for baking, roasting etc.

4. Once the food has been placed into the appliance, place the lid on the appliance. Ensured the lid is

seated correctly and is secure. If the lid is not placed correctly, the appliance will not function.

5. Plug the appliance into the wall socket and switch it on. The display will show "88:88".

6. Use the control panel to set the required cooking functions. Once the settings are confirmed, the

appliance will start.

7. At the end of the cooking time, the appliance will beep, cooking will cease and the heating element will

switch off. Depending on the temperature of the unit, the fan may remain on in order to dissipate the

remaining heat.

Pausing Cooking - If you need to pause cooking, remove the lid – the appliance will stop automatically and

pause the current cooking settings. If you place the lid back on the appliance within 3 minutes, the appliance

will start automatically, resuming the original cooking settings. If you take longer than 3 minutes to resume

cooking, you may need to press the Confirm button.

Changing Cooking settings - If the cooking settings need to be changed or restarted, press and hold the

Confirm button for 2 seconds. The program will return to the default settings and you can then restart the

cooking process

Using Cooking Pre-Sets

The appliance includes pre-set cooking time and temperature settings for a range of popular food types. This

makes setting up the appliance for cooking easier – select the required pre-set, then adjust the settings, if

"88.88", then:

1. Press Menu repeatedly until the indicator lamp next to the required pre-set illuminates; for example,

"meat".

2. Press Confirm – the appliance beeps and begins operating and will apply the pre-set temperature and

time settings. Using "meat" as an example, the temperature will be 250°C and the time will be 10

minutes. To adjust settings:

•To change temperature, press Temp – the appliance defaults to "60°C" and the display indicator for

setting temperature illuminates. Press +or –as required (maximum = 250°C) until the desired

temperature is reached, then press Confirm.

Using Cooking Accessories

Roasting Using the Rotisserie or Rotary BBQ

The rotisserie and rotary BBQ accessories are used to rotate the food during cooking, and is especially

suited to roasting whole chickens and larger cuts of meat. Place the food on to the rotisserie by passing the

rotisserie shafts through the food item, then attach the other end of the rotisserie to the shafts and secure it

using the thumbscrews (rotate right). With the rotary BBQ, hold the food item in position using the prongs to

pierce it. Place the rotisserie/food into the bowl – ensure that the end of the rotisserie shaft is properly

engaged with the appliance and the groove in the other end of the shaft is resting on the support bracket

inside the bowl.

NOTE: Roasting time may vary depending on the type of meat or other food, type of cut, amount of fat,

thickness and/or weight of the item. • It is not necessary to use oil for roasting, but you may do so for foods

that tend to become dry when cooked. • Ensure that the food item, when on the rotisserie or rotary BBQ,

does not contact either the lid or the food bowl when it rotates.

Baking

Use any oven-proof baking dish, preferably non-stick, that will fit comfortably inside the appliance bowl and

place it on the cooking rack in the low position (rack standing on short legs). Take special care when baking,

as it can be easy to over-cook. It is recommended to occasionally rotate the food item a little to help ensure

even browning.

Steaming Using the Steaming Tray

Add a cup (approximately 250ml) of water to the appliance bowl and season etc. Place the food item on to

the steaming tray and place it on the cooking rack in the high position (rack standing on long legs) inside the

bowl. For steaming vegetable whilst cooking other items, place the vegetables in an aluminium foil pouch,

add a few drops of water to the pouch and seal it.

Defrosting

You can use the appliance to defrost foods more evenly than a microwave oven. To defrost, set the

temperature to 100°C and check the food every 5 to 10 minutes.

"Frying" Using the Cage

You can get the effect of frying without cooking in oil by using the cage attachment and rotisserie. The

rotisserie rotates the cage during cooking. To assemble, slide the cage onto the rotisserie shaft. Place the

rotisserie/cage into the bowl – ensure that the end of the rotisserie shaft is properly engaged with the

appliance and the groove in the other end of the shaft is resting on the support bracket inside the bowl. It is

recommended to spray the food, for example, potato chips with a little cooking oil before placing it in the

cage.

Cleaning and Maintenance

Never immerse the appliance lid or base in water or any liquid. • Always ensure that the

appliance is disconnected from the mains electrical supply before performing any cleaning

or maintenance tasks. • After cleaning, do not use the appliance again until it is completely dry. • Do NOT

clean the appliance until it has cooled down. • Do NOT clean the appliance with metal scouring pads,

abrasives, flammable materials or solvents.

•Switch OFF and disconnect power from the appliance.

•Allow the appliance to completely cool.

•Wipe the appliance lid and fan housing using a dishcloth or damp sponge and mild dish washing

detergent – do not allow water to enter the fan housing.

•Wash the bowl and any accessories (cooking rack, rotisserie etc) using mild dish washing detergent and

warm water, then rinse thoroughly. For metal parts, if scrubbing is necessary, use a nylon or polyester

mesh pad. The bowl and accessories can also be safely cleaned in a dishwasher.

•Before storing, ensure that the entire appliance is completely dry.

Self-Cleaning

The appliance bowl can be cleaned using the self-cleaning function:

1. Add some water to the bowl ensuring it is no more than a few centimetres in depth.

2. Add a small amount of mild detergent to the water.

3. Connect the appliance to mains power and place the lid on it.

4. Set the temperature to 80°C and the timer to 10 minutes.

5. Press Confirm to begin the cleaning process.

6. The appliance will heat and swirl the water around the bowl - this will clean off most stains.

7. Rinse and dry as normal.
