Using Your Air Fryer

Understanding the Control Panel

The control panel features a digital display, a control dial, and various function buttons. The control dial allows you to select cooking functions, adjust temperature, and set time. The display shows selected function, temperature, and remaining cooking time.

Dual Zone Technology

The Dual Zone Technology allows you to cook two different foods in two separate zones with different settings, and have them finish cooking at the same time. This is ideal for preparing a main dish and a side simultaneously.

Cook two different foods, two different ways, both finishing at the same time.

• SYNC Function: Use the SYNC button to ensure both zones finish cooking at the same time, even if they have different cooking times and temperatures.
• MATCH Function: Use the MATCH button to instantly apply the settings from Zone 1 to Zone 2, perfect for cooking larger quantities of the same food.

FlexDrawer and MegaZone

The FlexDrawer feature allows you to transform the two independent cooking zones into one extra-large 10.4L MegaZone. This is perfect for cooking larger items like a whole chicken, a leg of lamb, or traybake meals.

Remove the divider to create one large cooking zone for bigger meals.

To use the MegaZone, simply remove the divider from the drawer before inserting food. The air fryer will automatically detect the single large zone.
