Operating Instructions
Control Panel Overview
The Aigostar Air Fryer features a digital touch screen for easy operation. It includes 10 preset cooking programs and 3 special functions: DIY, Preheating, and Defrost.
Smart Preheating Function
This air fryer is equipped with a unique smart preheating function. Unlike traditional preheating, it automatically adjusts the preheating time based on the actual internal temperature of the fryer. This intelligent feature helps save energy and time while ensuring optimal cooking conditions.
Cooking Process
- Prepare Food: Place your ingredients in the frying basket. Do not overfill the basket to allow for proper air circulation.
- Insert Basket: Slide the frying basket back into the air fryer until it clicks into place.
- Power On: Plug the air fryer into a grounded electrical outlet. The display will light up.
- Select Program:
- Preset Menus: Choose from 10 preset programs for common foods like frozen french fries, chicken drumsticks, pizza, fish, shrimp, steak, vegetables, cakes, barbecue, and bacon. Simply touch the corresponding icon.
- DIY Mode: For custom cooking, select the 'DIY' function. You can then manually adjust the temperature and time using the '+' and '-' buttons.
- Special Functions: Use the 'Preheating' button for smart preheating or 'Defrost' for thawing food.
- Start Cooking: Press the start/pause button to begin the cooking cycle.
- Monitor Progress: The transparent visual window and independent lighting allow you to monitor the cooking progress without opening the basket, ensuring consistent temperature and saving energy.
- Shake Reminder: For some recipes, the air fryer may beep to remind you to shake the basket for even cooking.
- Finish: Once the cooking time is complete, the air fryer will beep. Carefully pull out the basket and transfer the food to a plate.
Maintenance
Cleaning
- Always unplug the air fryer and allow it to cool completely before cleaning.
- The non-stick frying basket and baking tray are easy to clean. Wash them with warm soapy water and a soft cloth or sponge. Avoid using abrasive cleaning materials or metal utensils, as these can damage the non-stick coating.
- Wipe the exterior of the appliance with a damp cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Clean the interior of the air fryer with a damp cloth and mild detergent.
- Ensure all parts are completely dry before storing or using again.
Storage
Store the cleaned and dried air fryer in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture.
Troubleshooting
- Appliance does not turn on: Check if the power cord is securely plugged into a grounded outlet. Ensure the frying basket is correctly inserted into the main unit.
- Food is not cooked evenly: Ensure the basket is not overloaded. Shake the basket halfway through the cooking process for smaller items.
- White smoke coming from the appliance: This is usually caused by grease from previous use. Clean the basket and tray thoroughly. If cooking fatty foods, place a piece of aluminum foil at the bottom of the basket to catch excess oil.
- Food is not crispy: Ensure the temperature and time settings are appropriate for the food type. For best results, pat food dry before cooking.
