Setup
- Unpacking: Remove all packaging materials, stickers, and labels from the appliance.
- Initial Cleaning: Clean the frying basket and pan thoroughly with hot water, some dishwashing liquid, and a non-abrasive sponge. Wipe the inside and outside of the appliance with a damp cloth. Do not immerse the main unit in water.
- Placement: Place the appliance on a stable, horizontal, and heat-resistant surface. Ensure there is at least 10 cm of free space on the back and sides, and 10 cm above the appliance to allow for proper ventilation.
- First Use (Burn-in): It is recommended to run the airfryer empty for about 10-15 minutes at 200°C before first use to burn off any manufacturing residues. A slight odor may be present during this process; this is normal. Ensure the area is well-ventilated.
Operating Instructions
General Operation
- Prepare Food: Place the ingredients into the frying basket. Do not overfill the basket; ensure hot air can circulate.
- Insert Basket: Slide the frying basket back into the appliance. Ensure it is fully inserted.
- Set Temperature: Turn the temperature control dial to your desired temperature (80°C to 200°C).
- Set Timer: Turn the timer dial to the required cooking time (up to 30 minutes). The appliance will start heating immediately. The power indicator light and heating indicator light will illuminate.
- Cooking Process: The heating indicator light will cycle on and off during cooking, indicating that the heating element is maintaining the set temperature.
- Shaking Ingredients: For some foods (e.g., fries, nuggets), it is recommended to shake the basket halfway through the cooking time to ensure even cooking. To do this, pull the basket out by the Cool Touch handle, shake it gently, and then slide it back in. The appliance will resume cooking.
- Completion: When the timer reaches zero, a bell will ring, and the appliance will automatically switch off. The indicator lights will turn off.
- Remove Food: Carefully pull out the frying basket by the handle. Place the basket on a heat-resistant surface. Do not turn the basket upside down, as excess oil may collect in the bottom of the pan.
- Serve: Transfer the cooked food to a plate using tongs.
- Cool Down: Allow the appliance to cool down completely before cleaning or storing.
Tips for Best Results
- For crispier results, lightly brush or spray food with oil.
- Smaller ingredients usually require a shorter cooking time than larger ingredients.
- A quick preheating of 3-5 minutes at the desired temperature can improve cooking results for some foods.
- Do not cook extremely greasy ingredients in the airfryer.
Maintenance and Cleaning
Clean the appliance after every use.
- Unplug and Cool: Always unplug the airfryer and allow it to cool down completely before cleaning.
- Frying Basket and Pan: The frying basket is dishwasher safe. Alternatively, clean it with hot water, dish soap, and a non-abrasive sponge. For stubborn residue, soak the basket in hot water and dish soap for about 10 minutes.
- Interior: Wipe the inside of the appliance with a damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or steel wool.
- Exterior: Clean the exterior of the appliance with a damp cloth.
- Heating Element: Use a cleaning brush to remove any food residue from the heating element.
