CLEANING & MAINTENANCE

CLEANING YOUR AIR FRYER

NOTE: NEVER immerse the main unit in
water or any other liquid. NEVER clean
the main unit in a dishwasher.
The unit should be cleaned thoroughly
after every use.
Unplug the unit from the wall socket
1
before cleaning.
2 To clean the main unit and the control
panel, wipe them clean with a damp
cloth. Do not use a scouring pad.

HELPFUL TIPS

For consistent browning, make sure
1
ingredients are arranged in an even
layer on the bottom of the pan with
no overlapping. If ingredients are
overlapping, make sure to shake them
halfway through the set cook time.
2 Cook time and temperature can be
adjusted at any time during cooking.
Simply press the up and down TIME
or TEMP arrows to adjust the time or
temperature.
3 To convert recipes from your
conventional oven, reduce the
temperature of the Air Fryer by
10°C. Check food frequently to
avoid overcooking.
4 We recommend 3 minutes of preheating.
You can use the built-in timer to set a
3-minute countdown.
5 Occasionally, the fan from the air fryer
will blow lightweight foods around.
To alleviate this, secure foods (like
the top slice of bread on a sandwich)
with cocktail sticks.

3 The pan, crisper plate and any
accessories can be washed in
the dishwasher.
4 If food residue is stuck on the crisper
plate or pan, place them in a sink
filled with warm, soapy water and
allow to soak.
5 Air-dry or towel-dry all parts after use.
6 When cleaning heating element or
scrubbing is necessary use a
non-abrasive cleaner or liquid detergent
with a nylon pad or bristles.
6 The crisper plate elevates ingredients
in the pan so air can circulate under and
around them for even, crisp results.
7 After a cooking function is selected, you
can press the START/STOP button to
begin cooking immediately. The unit will
run at the default temperature and time.
8 For best results, remove food
immediately after the cook time is
complete to avoid overcooking.
9 For best results with fresh vegetables
and potatoes, use at least 1 tablespoon
of oil. Add more oil as desired to achieve
the preferred level of crispiness.
10 For best results, check progress
throughout cooking and remove food
when desired level of brownness
has been achieved. We recommend
using an instant-read thermometer to
monitor internal temp of foods. After
the cook time is complete remove food
immediately to avoid overcooking.

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE

• Why won't my temperature go any higher?
The max temperature is 210˚C.
• How long does it take to preheat and how will I know when it's done?
We recommend 3 minutes of preheating. You can use the built-in timer to set
a 3-minute countdown.
• Should I add my ingredients before or after preheating?
It is recommended to let the unit preheat for 3 minutes before adding ingredients.
• Do I need to defrost frozen foods before air frying?
It depends on the food. Follow package instructions.
• How do I make the countdown pause?
Press START/STOP.
• Is the pan safe to put on my worktop?
The pan will heat during cooking. Use caution when handling and place
on heat-safe surfaces only.
• How do I know when to use the crisper plate?
Use the crisper plate when you want food to come out crispy. The crisper plate allows
for food to be elevated in the pan allowing for air to go under the plate and evenly
crisp ingredients.
• My food didn't cook .
Make sure the pan is fully inserted during cooking. For consistent browning, make sure
ingredients are arranged in an even layer on the bottom of the pan with no overlapping.
Shake loose ingredients for even crispiness. Cook time and temperature can be adjusted
at any time during cooking. Simply press the up and down TIME or TEMP arrows to
adjust the time or temperature.
• My food is over-cooked .
For best results, check progress throughout cooking and remove food when desired
level of brownness has been achieved. Remove food immediately after the cook time
is complete to avoid overcooking.
• Why is my food blowing around when air frying?
Occasionally, the fan from the air fryer will blow lightweight foods around. To alleviate
this, secure foods (like the top slice of bread on a sandwich) with cocktail sticks.
• Can I air fry wet battered ingredients?
Yes, but use the proper breading technique. It is important to coat foods first with flour,
then with egg and then with bread crumbs. Be sure to press the bread crumbs onto the
food with your hands. Because the air fryer has a powerful fan as part of its mechanism,
breading can sometimes be blown off. Pressing the bread crumbs firmly on will help
them adhere.

Your food is done cooking.
• The screen went black .
The unit is in standby mode. Press the power button to turn it back on.
• An "E" message appears on display screen .
