General Safety Instructions
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ CAREFULLY AND KEEP FOR FUTURE REFERENCE
Read this manual thoroughly before first use, even if you are familiar with this type
of product. The safety precautions enclosed herein reduce the risk of fire, electric
shock and injury when correctly adhered to. Keep the manual in a safe place for
future reference, along with the completed warranty card, purchase receipt and
carton. If applicable, pass these instructions on to the next owner of the appliance.
Always follow basic safety precautions and accident prevention measures
when using an electrical appliance, including the following:
Electrical safety and cord handling
• Voltage: Make sure your outlet voltage and circuit frequency correspond to the
voltage stated on the appliance rating label. If it does not match, contact our
after sales support centre and do not use the appliance.
• Electrical circuit: Operate the unit on a separate electrical circuit. If the circuit
is overloaded with other appliances, this appliance may not work properly.
• Connection: Insert the plug firmly into the mains wall socket. The socket must
be properly earthed and within easy reach so the plug can easily be removed.
• No timer: Do not connect the appliance to an external switching device such as
a timer or a separate remote control system.
• WARNING: Do not immerse! To protect against electric shock, do not immerse
the cord, plug or the appliance itself in water or other liquid. If it falls into water,
immediately unplug it from the electrical outlet. Do not touch it or reach into the
water. Dry the appliance and have it checked by qualified service personnel.
• Protect from moisture: Do not expose the electrical connections to water. Do
not use the appliance, or touch the plug, with wet or damp hands, on a damp
floor, or when the appliance itself is wet. Do not use it near an open window as
rain may cause electric shock.
• Short power cord: A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the risks
resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. If you must
use an extension cord, exercise due care and ensure that its marked electrical
rating is at least as great as that of the appliance. Arrange the longer cord so
that it will not drape over the benchtop or tabletop, where it can be tripped over
unintentionally or pulled on by children.
• Protect the power cord: Do not kink, squash or strain the power cord and
protect it from sharp edges and heat. Do not let the cord touch hot surfaces.
Do not place anything on top of the cord. Never pull the cord to lift up, carry or
unplug the appliance.

Getting Started
IMPORTANT!
• Please note that in standby mode, no indicator is illuminated on the LED
display. To 'wake up' the unit, please press the AIR FRY or FUNCTION
button.
• When air-frying, always place the food tray underneath the air-frying basket
to catch drips. We strongly recommend that you DO NOT use aluminum
foil for covering the accessories. If the basket or rack is covered, the foil
prevents any fat from dripping into the food tray. Grease will therefore
accumulate on the foil surface and may catch fire. If you choose to cover
the food tray with foil, be sure to cut the foil neatly so it fits into the tray and
does not touch the oven wall or heating elements.
Before first use
• Unpack: This product has been packaged to protect it against transportation
damage. Unpack the appliance and keep the original packaging materials
in a safe place. It will help prevent any damage if the product needs to be
transported in the future, and you can use it to store the appliance when it is
not in use. In the event that the packaging is to be disposed of, please recycle it
where possible.
Plastic wrapping can be a suffocation hazard for babies and young children, so
ensure all packaging materials are out of their reach and disposed of safely.
Before you discard any packaging, ensure you have unpacked all the parts
listed previously. Contact our after sales support centre if anything is missing.
CAUTION:The appliance has sharp edges which can cause injury if handled
inappropriately. Unpack and use the appliance with due care.
• Inspect: Unwind the power cord to its full length and inspect all parts of the
appliance for visual damage. Do not use it if anything appears to be damaged or
not working properly. In case of damage, contact our after sales support centre.
• Read: Make sure you have read and understood all instructions and warnings
in this manual. Refer to the Product Overview, pages 9–11, to familiarise
yourself with the product and identify all parts. Pay particular attention to the
safety instructions on the previous pages.
• Clean: Make sure the power cord is unplugged. Before first use, clean all
parts of the appliance that come into contact with food, as described in the
"Cleaning and care" section on pages 26–27. Dry thoroughly.
• Your air fryer oven is now ready for connection to your power supply.

First connection
• Place the appliance on a flat, level and dry surface which should also be heat-
resistant and non-flammable. Make sure that:
– The rear oven wall should be placed against a wall.
– There is a 10cm clear space at the back and sides of the appliance — you
may have to move it away from the wall or from any objects on the benchtop.
– There are no objects stored on top of the air fryer oven. Its exterior walls get
very hot when in use. Keep children away when using the appliance.
• Connect the air fryer to your power supply and heat the empty appliance at
maximum temperature on the Pizza setting for approximately 15 minutes (see
page 21 for detailed instructions). This will eliminate any odours from within the
appliance and also burn off any excess lubricants that may have been used in
the manufacturing process. During this process, the appliance may give off a
slight odour or smoke. This is due to the element and components being new
and is no cause for concern. It is not harmful and will disappear quickly. Ensure
good ventilation. Then switch off and unplug the appliance and allow it to cool
to room temperature.

Preparing the appliance for use
• Place the clean and dry appliance on a flat, level and dry surface which should
also be heat-resistant and non-flammable. Ensure there is sufficient free space
(10cm) above and around all sides of the air fryer oven for air circulation.
• Unwind the power cord. Check and ensure that the crumb tray is in place
and that there is nothing in or on top of the oven. Plug power cord into an
appropriate wall socket and switch on the power to the outlet.
IMPORTANT!
• Never operate the oven without the crumb tray in place.
• Always close the door when using any oven function.
• Always ensure that no food is touching the heating elements.
• CAUTION: HOT! Take utmost care when using the oven on any setting.
Accessible surfaces of the appliance can get very hot during use. Do not
touch hot surfaces! Use handles and knobs. Always use tongs and oven
mitts or pot holders when removing food.
Support guides
The air fryer oven has three support guides at the sides of the oven cavity, as
pictured below (Fig. 1).
• Place the air-frying
basket in the middle
support guide for air-
frying and the food tray
underneath to catch
drips.
• Place the pizza pan or
a baking dish on top
of the wire rack and
choose an appropriate
support guide when
baking or grilling.
• Do not place food
directly on the bottom of
the oven cavity.

Toasting tips
• Make sure that the crumb tray is properly in its place on the bottom of the
oven cavity.
• Always position your bread product(s) in the middle of the rack for even
toasting. For example, if toasting four items, place two at the front and two at
the back. If toasting six items, place three at the front and three at the back.
Ensure no food is touching the heating elements.
Toast
You can use the air fryer oven for toasting various types of bread and similar
products. When toasting, you do not set a time and temperature but a browning
level, as different types of bread require different levels of browning. Lighter breads
and waffles require a lighter browning level; darker breads, crumpets and English
muffins require a darker setting.
Operation
1. Make sure the crumb tray is in place on the bottom of the oven cavity.
2. Place the food to be toasted on the oven wire rack. Slide the rack into the
middle support guide of the oven and close the door.
3. Press the FUNCTION button and then turn the setting knob to Toast.
4. Press the TIME/Darkness or TEMP/Darkness button and then turn the setting
knob to set the desired browning level (1–6).
NOTE: Temperature and time options are not available on this setting. They are
adjusted automatically according to the browning level you selected.
5. Press the START/CANCEL button to start the operation. The time will start
counting down.
6. To cancel the operation, press the START/CANCEL button. There is no pause
setting.
7. When the working cycle is complete, the unit will stop automatically and return
to standby mode. Open the door completely and remove the food immediately,
otherwise the heat remaining in the oven will continue to toast and dry out your
toast.
CAUTION: HOT! Cooked food, oven utensils and the oven door can be very
hot, handle with care. To check or remove the food, always use an oven mitt or
pot holder when touching a hot accessory or hot food. Do not leave the oven
unattended.

Air-Fry
Air-frying helps you cook a variety of foods to crispy perfection but without
large amounts of oil — a healthier alternative to deep-frying. A fan circulates
hot air around the food at high speed, cooking the food and producing a crispy,
browned layer with only a small fraction of the oil used for shallow or deep-frying.
The supplied air-frying basket is designed for use with the Air-Fry function. Always
place the food tray in a support guide underneath the basket to catch drips.
Operation
1. Press the FUNCTION button and then turn the setting knob to Air-Fry, or press
the AIR FRY button to select this function.
2. Press the TEMP/Darkness button and then turn the setting knob to the desired
temperature for air-frying.
3. Press the TIME/Darkness button and then turn the setting knob to the desired

4. Press the START/CANCEL button to start preheating the oven: "PrE" will be
shown on the LED display.
5. When the preheating cycle is complete, the unit will start beeping and "PrE"
will blink on the LED display. Place the food to be air-fried in the air-frying
basket. Slide the basket into the middle support guide of the oven and the food
tray in a support guide underneath. Close the oven door.
6. Press the START/CANCEL button to start the operation. The time will start
counting down.
NOTE: Time and temperature cannot be adjusted during the preheating and
cooking process.
NOTE: To cancel the operation, press the START/CANCEL button. There is no

7. When the working cycle is complete, the unit will stop automatically and
start beeping. The LED display will show "00:00" until you press the START/
CANCEL button. Open the door completely and carefully take out the basket.
CAUTION: HOT! Cooked food, oven utensils and the oven door can be very
hot, handle with care. To check or remove the food, always use an oven mitt or
pot holder when touching a hot accessory or hot food. Do not leave the oven
unattended.

Air-frying tips
• Which food? Many foods that are traditionally fried can be air-fried using only
a fraction of the oil required for other frying methods. Air-fried foods will taste
lighter and less greasy than deep-fried foods.
• Which oil? You can use most oils for air-frying. Olive oil will give you a richer
flavour. Vegetable, canola or grapeseed oil has a lighter, milder flavour. For a
crispy, golden result, brush a small amount of oil evenly on the food to be air-
fried, or use an olive oil or non-stick cooking spray.
• Crumbed or battered? You can use a variety of coatings to add flavour and
texture to the food you are air-frying, for example, breadcrumbs (seasoned or
plain), panko breadcrumbs, cornflakes, potato chip crumbs, quinoa or various
flours. Press the dry coating firmly onto the (battered and/or seasoned) food
pieces to ensure good adhesion during air-frying.
• Flip or shake it? Most foods do not need to be flipped during cooking, but
larger items, like chicken fillets, should be flipped halfway during cooking to
ensure quick, even cooking and browning. When air-frying large quantities of
food that crowd the basket, toss the food halfway through the cooking cycle
to ensure even cooking and browning.
• Which temperature? Use higher temperatures for foods that cook quickly,
like bacon and thinly sliced vegetable crisps, and lower temperatures for
foods that take longer to cook, like crumbed chicken pieces.
• Which size? Food pieces cook more evenly if they are cut to the same size.
• Condensation? Most foods release water when they are being cooked. If
the door of the oven has condensation droplets during cooking, wait until the
appliance has stopped operating, then wipe the droplets off the door. When
cooking large quantities for an extended period of time, condensation may
build up, which could leave some moisture on your benchtop.
