`Dishwasher safe
BEFORE USING FOR THE FIRST TIME
1. Handwash the removable parts, rinse, and dry.
2. The new element may smoke a bit till it has cured, but it’s nothing to worry about . The first couple of
times you use it, ensure the room is well ventilated.
HOW IT WORKS
• A fan forces hot air round the basket, inside the basket holder, and, at the same time, the element
radiates heat, to brown the food.
• Oil is added to the food as a coating.
• By fitting the partition to the slots inside the basket, you may cook different foods together, e.g.
scampi and chips (both frozen) – cook the chips for 5 minutes, add the scampi, and cook for another
15 minutes.

HANDLE
The handle attaches to the basket holder and the basket.
To remove the basket holder from the body:
1. Steady the body with one hand
2. Grip the handle with the other hand and pull the basket holder out of the body
3. Rest the basket holder on an insulated mat.
To remove the basket from the basket holder:
1. Slide the cover away from the handle, to expose most of the lock
2. Press the lock down to unlock the handle from the basket holder
3. Lift the handle and basket up and out of the basket holder.
USING
• Sit the appliance on a heat-resistant surface.
• Put the plug into a power socket (switch the socket on, if it’s switchable).
1. Set the temperature control to the temperature you need.
2. Set the timer for 3-5 minutes, to preheat the appliance.
3. When you turn the timer from 0, the power light will come on. It’ll go out then the timer returns to 0.
4. The thermostat light will come on, then cycle on and off as the thermostat maintains the temperature.
5. When the power light goes out, remove the basket holder. Fit the partition, if required.
6. Put the food into the basket – don’t overfill.
7. Leave enough space between pieces of food to allow the hot air to circulate.
8. Slide the basket holder back into the body.
9. Set the timer to the time you need.
10. About half way through cooking, remove the basket holder, give it a shake, and/or turn the food over,
then replace the basket holder in the body.
11. The element will switch off when you remove the basket holder, then switch on again when you
replace it. The timer will continue to count down.
12. When the timer returns to 0, and the bell sounds, unplug the appliance.
13. To switch off manually, turn the timer to 0.
Once cooking is finished:
1. Remove the basket holder.
2. Check the food is cooked. If you’re in any doubt, cook it a bit more.
3. Set the basket holder on an insulated mat.
4. Press the lock down to unlock the handle from the basket holder
5. Lift the handle and basket up and out of the basket holder.

MINI SALMON FISHCAKES
• ½ onion
• 2 sprigs fresh parsley
• pinch of chilli
• 1 good sized salmon fillet
• 5-6 tbsp breadcrumbs
• 1 egg, lightly beaten
• seasoned flour
• salt and pepper
Preheat to 180ºC. Blend the onion and parsley for a few seconds, add the salmon, chilli, a generous pinch of
both salt and pepper, and blend for 5-10 seconds. Transfer to a bowl, and fold in 2 tbsp breadcrumbs.
Divide the mix into 10 portions (or 4 portions, if you want large fishcakes).
Roll each portion into a ball, coat in seasoned flour, then egg, then breadcrumbs, flatten the balls and cook
for 10-15 minutes for small fishcakes, or 15-20 minutes for large fishcakes, turning them about half way
through cooking.
CHICKEN KIEV
• 2 skinned chicken breasts
• 2 cloves fresh garlic
• 50g salted butter
• 2 sprigs fresh parsley
• 1 egg, lightly beaten
• breadcrumbs (either packet or home-made)
• pepper to taste
Preheat to 180ºC. Blend the garlic, parsley and a generous pinch of pepper for 10-20 seconds, add the
butter and blend for 15 seconds.
Slice each chicken breast along the long edge (don’t cut completely in half) and open into a butterfly
shape. Cover with cling film and hit with a rolling pin to flatten slightly.
Put a good spoonful of the mixture in the middle of each breast, then roll the chicken over the mix so it
overlaps and leaves no exit for the mix to escape. You will now have a tight roll in the shape of a chicken
breast (a fat version of its original shape). Dip the chicken into the seasoned flour, then into the egg and
finally roll in the breadcrumbs, coating the chicken completely. Repeat this for the second breast.
If you have time, leave the chicken on greaseproof paper in the fridge for an hour to rest.
Cook for 30-35 minutes. Turn after 15-20 minutes, to ensure a lovely golden colour all over.
VICTORIA SPONGE
• 100g self raising flour
• 100g soft butter
• 100g caster sugar
• 2 eggs
Preheat to 170ºC. Combine everything with a mixer for 2 minutes. Put a large paper case in the basket.
Spoon the mixture into the paper case. Smooth with a spoon or spatula, leaving a small dent in the centre,
to stop the cake from rising too much in the middle. Cook for 15-20 minutes. Don’t check till at least 10
minutes baking time has passed, or you’ll collapse the sponge.
SCOTCH EGGS
• 500g beef (for mincing), or 500g minced beef
• 1 onion
• 2 sprigs thyme
• 2 sprigs parsley
• pinch cayenne pepper
• salt and pepper
• 5 eggs (one for egg wash)
• breadcrumbs
• flour for coating
• oil for cooking
If you’re using a mincer, mince the beef and onion together. If you’ve bought mince, chop or blend the
onion finely, and mix into the mince with the salt, pepper, cayenne pepper and chopped herbs.
Boil 4 eggs till soft boiled with slightly runny yolks. Carefully peel the shells from the eggs.
Coat the eggs in flour then cover completely in the minced meat. Roll the ball in the egg, then the
breadcrumbs. Drizzle with oil. Cook at 170 for about 15 minutes, turning occasionally.

MUSTARD AND HONEY PORK LOIN WITH ROASTED VEGETABLES
• 1 piece pork loin, about the thickness of 4
chops
• 2 carrots, peeled and cut into chunks
• 2 parsnips, peeled and cut into chunks
• 2 red onions, quartered
• 6 large cherry tomatoes
• 2 courgettes, cut into chunks
• 2 tbsp grainy mustard
• 1 tbsp runny honey
• 1 tbsp oil
• salt and pepper
Preheat to 170ºC.
Stir the vegetables in a bowl with the oil, salt and pepper, ensuring all are well coated.
Mix the mustard and honey in a dish, then smear all over the loin.
Put the loin in the centre of the basket, and spoon the vegetables round it. Cook at 170 for 40 minutes to 1
hour, depending upon the size of the loin. Turn the loin after 15 minutes and stir the vegetables. Check
again at 30 minutes.
CHICKEN SCHNITZEL
• 2 large chicken breasts
• 1 large egg
• 2 tbsp seasoned flour
• 75g breadcrumbs
• dried zest of ½ a lemon
• 15g parmesan, grated
• 1 heaped tbsp parsley, finely chopped
• 1 tbsp oil
• salt and freshly ground black pepper
Preheat to 180ºC.
Slice each chicken breast along the long edge (don’t cut completely in half) and open into a butterfly
shape. Cover with cling film and hit with a rolling pin to flatten slightly.
Beat the egg in a bowl. Sprinkle the seasoned flour on a plate. Mix the breadcrumbs with the lemon zest,
parmesan and parsley. Coat each piece of chicken in flour, then beaten egg, then the breadcrumb mixture.
Drizzle a little oil over the schnitzels and cook at 180 for 15-20 minutes.
VEAL/PORK SCHNITZEL
Follow the recipe for chicken schnitzel, but substitute 2 pieces of breast of veal or two pieces of pork,
bones and fat removed.
YORKSHIRE PUDDING BATTER
• 1 egg
• 85g plain flour
• 25ml milk
• 1 tsp oil
• 1 tsp butter
• salt and pepper
Whisk the egg, then whisk in the flour, oil, butter, salt and pepper to create a thick paste. Whisk in the milk
till it becomes a thin batter. Rest in the fridge for a couple of hours, or overnight if possible. This allows the
batter to thicken, however if it is too thick when it comes out of the fridge, you can add a drop of milk.
Preheat to 200ºC.
Pour a little oil into small metal cake containers or foil pastry cases and heat in the basket for 2 minutes.
Carefully pour the batter into the containers, till they are about a third full. Cook for 10-15 minutes,
depending upon the size and number in the fryer. Turn to 165 after 5 minutes. They should be golden
brown and double in size.
Top tip: Freeze the Yorkshire puddings and bring out when required. Just pop them in the fryer for a
couple of minutes to heat through.
