Preparation for use:
Before using the air fryer for the first time:
Warning: when using for the first time, the air fryer may emit slight odour which is not
harmful and will disappear after a few minutes. This is because a protective oil was
applied to protect parts from possible friction in transport.
Carefully unpack the air fryer and remove all the packing materials.
Place the air fryer on a flat, heat-resistant non-flammable surface.

Use a soft sponge and soapy water to remove any dust on the surface that may happen
during packing and transport. Allow the air fryer to dry before use.

4. Slide the cooking basket securely into the air fryer.
Caution: Do not touch the inside of the cooking basket or grill pan during and about 30
minutes after each use, as it gets very hot. Only hold the cooking basket by the handle.
5. Press the button and the digital display will illuminate. Select a cooking program
with the button. Press the button to manually adjust the cooking time and
temperature. Press + to increase the cooking time or temperature and press – to
decrease the cooking time or temperature. Press the button to begin cooking. The

6. Some foods require shaking halfway through the cooking process. To shake the food,
pull the cooking basket out of the appliance by the handle and shake it for a couple of
seconds. Slide the cooking basket back into the air fryer immediately after shaking it.
7. When you hear 3 consecutive beeps, the set cooking time has come to an end. Pull
the cooking basket out of the air fryer and place it on a heat resistant surface. Only
hold the cooking basket by the handle and do not touch inside of it for about 30
minutes after use.
8. Check if the food is ready. If it is not ready, slide the cooking basket back into the air
fryer and add an extra few minutes on the timer dial.
9. When the food is done cooking, empty the cooking basket’s contents into a bowl or
onto a serving plate. The air fryer will be instantly ready for preparing the next batch
of food.
Tip: To remove large or fragile foods, use a pair of tongs (not included) to lift the food out
of the cooking basket. Do not turn the cooking basket upside down. Turning the cooking
basket upside down will cause the excess oil that has collected on the bottom of the
cooking basket to spill out and leak onto the served food.

Making homemade chips:
For the best results, we advise to use pre-baked chips. If you want to make home-made
chips, follow the steps below:
1. Peel the potatoes and cut them into sticks.
2. Soak the potato sticks in a bowl of water for at least 30 minutes, take them out and
dry them with kitchen paper.
3. Pour ½tablespoon of olive oil in a bowl, put the sticks on top and mix until the sticks
are coated with the olive oil.
4. Remove the sticks from the bowl and put the sticks into the air fryer.
5. Cook the chips for 18 – 25 minutes at 180°C. Remember to shake the basket to flip
the chips halfway through cooking.
Helpful cooking tips:
• Foods that are smaller in size usually require a slightly shorter cooking time than
larger foods.
• Large quantities of food only require a slightly longer cooking time than smaller
quantities.

• Flipping or turning smaller sized foods halfway through the cooking process ensures
that all the pieces are evenly fried.
• Misting a bit of vegetable or olive oil on fresh potatoes is suggested for a crispier
result. When adding a little oil, do so just before cooking.
• Snacks normally cooked in an oven can also be cooked in the air fryer.
• Use premade dough to prepare filled snacks quickly and easily. Premade dough also
requires a shorter cooking time than homemade dough.
Frequently asked questions:
1. Can I prepare foods other than fried dishes with my air fryer?
– You can prepare a variety of dishes including steaks, chops, burgers, and baked goods.
2. Is the air fryer oven good for making or reheating soups and sauces?
– Never cook or reheat liquids in the air fryer.
3. Does the air fryer need time to heat up?
– Preheating is needed when you are cooking from a cold start, add 3 minutes to the
cooking time to compensate for this.
4. Is it possible to shut off the air fryer oven at any time?
– Press the on / off button to stop the air fryer.
5. Is the air fryer dishwasher safe?
– Only the cooking basket and grill pan are dishwasher safe. The appliance itself
containing the heating coil and electronics should never be submersed in liquid of any
kind or cleaned with anything more than a hot, moist cloth or nonabrasive sponge, with a
small amount of mild detergent.
6. What happens if the air fryer still does not work after I have tried all the
troubleshooting suggestions?
– Please contact our customer service team.
