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 use with a programmer, timer, wireless plug adapter or outlet
that allows control remotely, or connect to a circuit that is regularly switched on
and off by your energy provider.
• 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 (Cont.)
First connection
Place the appliance on a flat, level and dry surface which should also be heat-
resistant and non-flammable. Make sure:
– the rear oven wall is placed against a wall
– there is a 15 cm 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 oven to your power supply and heat the empty appliance at
maximum temperature on the Pizza setting for 20 minutes. 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 first heating process, the appliance may give off a slight odour or
smoke. This is due to the elements 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.
Opening the oven door
CAUTION:
This appliance generates
heat during use. Do not
touch hot surfaces.
Always use the handle
according to the
instructions on the left.
Fig. 1 Fig. 2
Step 1: Grab the centre
of the handle from below
with your fingertips.
Step 2: Pull down the
oven door carefully.
Removing food
Always open the door fully and remove food carefully with an oven mitt.
Display
When the oven is connected to your power supply, the display will switch off and
go into standby mode two minutes after the end of a cooking cycle, or after two
minutes of inactivity.

Getting Started (Cont.)
Changing the temperature display
The temperature can be displayed in degrees Celsius or Fahrenheit. You can
change the display when the oven is in sleep or idle mode: simultaneously hold the
[ CANCEL ] and [ TEMP + ] buttons for 2 seconds to change the display.
Heating elements
The top and bottom heating elements will
cycle ON and OFF to maintain the desired
temperature. You may not see the heating
elements glowing.
Positioning the oven rack
The air fryer oven has three support guides at
the sides of the oven cavity to accommodate a
number of cooking functions (Fig. 3). The best
position for the oven rack or baking tray will
depend on the size of the food to be cooked,
the cooking function and the desired browning
level. For example:
• For air-frying, position the air-frying basket in the baking/drip tray.
• For baking or roasting, position the baking/drip tray in the bottom or middle
guides, depending on the size of your food.
• For toasting, position the oven rack in the middle guide so your toast won't
catch fire.
• Place a baking dish on the oven rack and choose an appropriate support guide
when baking or grilling.
• Do not place food directly on the bottom of the oven cavity.
Before removing a rack from the oven, always allow the oven to cool. Grip the rack
and pull it out carefully to prevent food slipping down the rack when you pull it out.
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 (15cm)
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.

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 basket in the baking tray to catch drips.
Operation
1. Make sure the crumb tray is in place on the bottom of the oven cavity.
2. Arrange food in the air-frying basket and place the basket on the baking tray.
3. Insert the baking tray into the middle rack position. Close the oven door.
4. Set the function to Air Fry.
5. If you want to adjust the default cooking time or default temperature:
– use the temp. [ - ] or [ + ] button to adjust to the desired temperature
– use the timer [ - ] or [ + ] button to adjust to the desired time.
6. Press the [ START ] button to begin cooking. The time will start counting down.
All four top heating elements will cycle on and off to maintain the desired
temperature while the turbo fan on high helps distribute the heat evenly.
7. When the working cycle is complete, the unit will stop and emit a few beeps.
Open the door completely and carefully take out the basket.
NOTE: Toss food evenly in oil, if desired, before placing it in the air-frying basket.
CAUTION: HOT! Cooked food, the air-frying basket, baking tray and door can all
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.
IMPORTANT!
When air-frying, always place the air-frying basket on the baking tray 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 baking/drip tray. Grease will therefore accumulate on
the foil surface and may catch fire. If you choose to cover the baking/drip tray
with foil, be sure to cut the foil neatly so it fits into the pan and does not touch
the oven wall or heating elements.

NOTE:
*Air-frying does not require oil, but a light spray or brush with oil can enhance browning
and crispness. Use an oil sprayer to keep it extra light, or pour a little oil into a bowl, add
food and toss.
• The oven does not need to be preheated for air-frying.
• Cooking times are estimates and may vary based on the type of food and preparation.
Smaller quantities of food may require less time. For best results when using the air fryer
oven, check the food periodically during cooking.
• It is normal for some steam and/or condensation to escape from the door, especially
when cooking frozen foods.

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.
• Toss in oil or not? Not all foods will benefit from being tossed in oil prior
to being air-fried. Frozen foods and foods with a high fat content such as
chicken wings or bacon do not require oil. To achieve crispy and browned
results on foods such as hand-cut fries or vegetables, evenly coat food with
about one tablespoon of oil.
• 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
types of flour. 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.

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.

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 rack. Slide the rack into the middle
rack position and close the door.
3. Set the function to Toast. Two heating elements at the top and bottom will start
working once you have set the timer. They will cycle on and off to maintain the
temperature at the set level for toasting.
4. Use the temperature or timer [ - ] or [ + ] buttons to set the desired browning
level from (1–7).
5. Press the [ START ] button to begin cooking. The time will start counting
down. To cancel the operation, press the [ CANCEL ] button.
6. When the working cycle is complete, the unit will stop and emit a few beeps.
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, the oven rack and 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.

Baking tips
• Is it cooked? To check whether a cake is fully cooked, insert a clean skewer
into the middle of the dough and remove it. If the skewer is clean, the cake is
cooked, if dough sticks to the skewer, return the cake to the oven for a little
longer.
• Preheating: If you want to preheat the oven when baking, choose the required
setting (e.g. bake or convection bake), set the desired baking temperature and
then set the timer to approximately 15 minutes for preheating. At the end of the
set preheating time, place your baking dish on the oven rack in the appropriate
rack position and enter the time for the cooking cycle.
CAUTION: Take great care to avoid burns as the oven interior will be very hot.
