Dual Zone Technology

This air fryer features two independent cooking zones, allowing you to cook two different foods at different temperatures and times simultaneously.

• Smart Finish: This function automatically synchronizes the cooking end times for both baskets, even if they have different cooking durations. Ideal for meals where everything needs to be ready at once.
• Match Cook: Easily copy the settings (temperature and time) from one basket to the other, perfect for cooking larger quantities of the same food across both 4L baskets.
• Sync Function: Similar to Smart Finish, this ensures both baskets complete their cooking cycles at the same time, useful when foods require different cooking times.

5. Cooking Guide

Air frying offers a healthier alternative to deep frying. Adjust cooking times and temperatures based on food quantity and desired crispness.

• Max Crispy Function: Utilize the two crisper plates for extra crispy and golden results.
• Shaking: For even cooking and browning, shake the baskets halfway through the cooking process, especially for smaller items like fries or nuggets.
• Oil Usage: While not always necessary, a tablespoon of oil can enhance the crispiness and flavor of some foods.
