Operation

Control Panel

The control panel features buttons for temperature and time adjustment, power, start/pause, and specific cooking modes.

• ON/OFF Button ⏻: Powers the appliance on or off.
• START/PAUSE Cycle Button: Starts or pauses the cooking cycle.
• INCREASE/DECREASE BUTTON ➕/➖: Adjusts temperature and time settings.
• TEMP TIME: Displays and adjusts temperature and time.
• TURN: Used for zone selection.
• START: Initiates cooking.
• MATCH: Automatically sets the same time and temperature on both sides.
• SYNC: Allows both sides to stop working at the same time, accommodating different cooking durations.
• ZONES 1 & 2: Indicates the two cooking zones.
• THAW: Setting for defrosting.

Setting Time and Temperature

The temperature control ranges from 50-200°C. Each press of the ➕ or ➖ buttons increases or reduces the temperature by 10°C. Pressing ➕ at 200°C loops back to 50°C. Pressing ➖ at 50°C loops back to 200°C.

The timer range is from 1 to 60 minutes. Each press of the ➕ or ➖ buttons increases or reduces the time by 1 minute. Pressing ➕ at 60 minutes loops back to 1 minute. Pressing ➖ at 1 minute loops back to 60 minutes.

Once a temperature or time is selected, the digits will flicker 3 times then remain static.

Press the START button to activate your settings. The digits will begin to flicker, a sound will 'beep', and the appliance will start to work.

Pre-heating: It is recommended to pre-heat the Air Fryer for 3-5 minutes before adding any ingredients.

Pausing/Continuing: The appliance can be paused at any time by pressing the START/PAUSE button once during use. Simply press the button once more to continue cooking.

Stopping: To stop the Air Fryer completely, press the ON/OFF Button ⏻. After several 'beeps', the Air Fryer will stop and enter standby mode.

Cooking Modes

Sync Cook: To cook two different foods at different temperatures.

Dual Cook: To cook the same food and 'match' them.

Zones 1 and 2 can work individually or at the same time. For a single zone, press the ON/OFF Button ⏻ to enter the menu and select the zone number (1 or 2) before selecting your desired time and temperature. Press START/PAUSE to begin.

For both zones, follow the steps for Zone 1, then press 2 before selecting the time and temperature for the food placed into Basket 2. Finally, press START/PAUSE to begin the cooking cycles.

The default temperature and time are set at 180°C/15 minutes. These can be adjusted using the ➕ and ➖ buttons.

Pre-set Cooking Programs

Alternatively, you can select any of the food icons that match the type of food you wish to cook. Each icon has its own set time and temperature, which can be adjusted.

Note: Add 3 minutes to the preparation time before you start frying if the appliance is cold.

Cooking Process

1. Once the pre-heating cycle is completed, place the silicone liners into the baskets and add your desired ingredients. Drizzle with oil if required. IMPORTANT: Ensure the rack and silicone liners are placed inside the baskets as this will help any oils/fats drip from the food and be collected at the bottom of the basket.
2. Slide the Frying Basket into the Air Fryer and select the required program. The LED screen will display the temperature setting and the remaining working time.
3. During use, you can remove the Frying Basket to check on food, gently shake the contents, or add more ingredients. The Air Fryer will pause while the basket is removed. Simply re-insert the basket to resume cooking. Take extra care when handling the basket as the surfaces will be very hot.
4. When you hear the timer sound, the cooking program has elapsed. Remove the Frying Basket from the Air Fryer and carefully place on a heat-resistant surface. Check the food is completely cooked. If more cooking is required, simply re-insert the basket and cook for a few more minutes.
5. To remove food from the basket, it is highly recommended to use cooking tongs as the surfaces of the basket are extremely hot. DO NOT turn the basket upside down to remove food, as all oils and fats collected at the bottom will dispense onto your food.
6. If you wish to cook more food, simply follow the instructions from step 1 to cook another batch.
7. Once cooking is completed, switch the appliance off and disconnect from the mains. Allow to cool for 30-60 minutes before cleaning.

Tips and Suggestions

• Always position the appliance on a flat and stable surface with sufficient space around all sides.
• Ensure the area the appliance is positioned in is fully ventilated.
• Set the time and temperature and allow 5-10 minutes to pre-heat.
• Smaller ingredients only require shorter preparation (cooking times) than larger food items.
• All ingredients added must be pre-prepared beforehand.
• DO NOT attempt to slice any ingredients whilst positioned inside the appliance.
• Shaking ingredients or turning them halfway through their cooking cycle will reduce uneven cooking results.
• Thin-cut potatoes can be drizzled with cooking oil for crispier results.
• Foods such as sausages are not suitable for Air Frying. Any foods that can be cooked in an oven are suitable for this appliance.
• Pre-made dough for baking is recommended; this also requires less preparation.
• If the Pan is removed during a set cooking time, the appliance will automatically pause until the Pan is reinserted.
• Temperatures can be adjusted at any time during operation if required.
• If more cooking time is required, simply adjust the timer once the appliance has completed cooking.
• To reheat items of food, simply reinsert the Cooking Basket and set the timer for 10 minutes at 150°C (dependent on the food).
• Avoid touching any part of the appliance once in operation; the surfaces will get very hot. The use of an oven mitt is highly recommended.

Cleaning and Maintenance

Ensure the Air Fryer is disconnected from the mains and is completely cool before cleaning.

DO NOT IMMERSE THE APPLIANCE IN WATER. ??

Wipe the inside of the appliance with a damp cloth. Ensure this is done thoroughly.

Remove the Rack from the centre of the Basket and wash with warm, soapy water. If there are any stubborn food stains/residue, we recommend leaving them to soak in warm, soapy water for 10 minutes before gently scrubbing.

Note: Although these items are dishwasher safe, hand washing is recommended.

Ensure the removable components are completely dry before re-inserting into the Air Fryer.

Wipe the outer surface of the appliance with a damp cloth.
