Cooking Tips
The higher volume of food being cooked, the longer the cooking time.
Shaking smaller food products halfway through cooks food more evenly. If you
need to shake food or turn over the food at any point of the cooking process, press
the power button , pull the pan out of the Air Fryer using the handle, then shake
or turn the food over using tongs. Reinsert the pan with frying base into the Air Fryer
and press the power button to resume the cooking process.
Add some oil to fresh potatoes for a crispier result. Please ensure you cook your
food in the Air Fryer within a few minutes of adding in the oil for best results. Mix the
oil in a bowl prior to placing into the pan. Never add oil directly into the pan.
Do not cook greasy or oily foods such as sausages in the Air Fryer.
Snacks that can be cooked in an oven can also be cooked in the Air Fryer.
For crispy, homemade chips or fries, the optimal amount of food to cook at a time
is 500g.
When making home made chips or fries, the best types of potatoes to use are the
starchy varieties (kennebec, king edward, golden delight or sebago).
For best cooking results, it is advisable to minimise the time and frequency that the
pan is taken out whilst the Air Fryer is on.The temperature inside the Air Fryer needs
to remain consistent to ensure best cooking results.
Cakes and pastries can be also cooked in the Air Fryer. Please follow your own
recipes and use a baking pan suitable for cooking in a conventional oven.
WARNING: Be careful when using metal utensils with this product as the
non-stick coating can be scratched.
WARNING: Never use your hands to touch or handle food as it will be very hot.
Ensure you use kitchen tongs or other suitable utensils.

Cleaning and Maintenance
Frequently Asked Questions
15
Problem Solution
Why won’t the Air
Fryer turn ON?
Check that the Air Fryer is correctly plugged in and
switched on at the power outlet.
Why isn’t the food
being cooked
thoroughly?
The food capacity has been exceeded, remove some food
and cook in another batch.This will cook the food more
evenly and thoroughly.
The temperature has been set too low, increase the heat.
The food has not had enough time to cook, increase the
cooking time.
Why has the food
cooked unevenly?
Certain foods may need to be shaken midway through the
cooking process.
Why won’t the pan
slide back into the
housing properly?
There is too much food in the pan, remove some food and
try again.
The pan has not been aligned correctly, align the pan with
the center groove located on the inside of the Air Fryer
housing.
Why is there white
smoke being
emitted during
cooking?
The food contained within may be too greasy. Greasy and
fatty foods will emit fat/oil into the pan of the Air Fryer and
when it is heated, may emit a white smoke.Try to avoid
cooking greasy/fatty foods in the Air Fryer.The white smoke
will not affect the cooking process.
Why aren’t the
chips crispy?
There may be a lack of oil and too much moisture. Ensure
you have dried the chips after rinsing. Possibly add more oil
to the chips before cooking.
The chip pieces may be too large, try cutting the potatoes
into smaller pieces for crispier results.
When making home made chips/fries, we recommend
you use starchy varieties (kennebec, king edward, golden
delight or sebago).
