During the Cooking/Frying Process:
- Once you turn the time and temperature wheels, the air fryer will begin counting down and begin the cooking process. NOTE: Any excess oil from food will collect at the bottom of the Pan.
- Some recipes require stirring/mixing/flipping the contents mid-way through cooking (see Cooking Time Chart on page 19). You can do this in the middle of the cooking process by simply pulling out the basket by grasping the Handle and pull forward the entire Drawer Pan. The built-in auto sensors will automatically pause the heating system to allow you to attend to the food.
- Shake, stir or flip the contents of the basket using a non-metallic utensil and then slide Drawer Pan back into the Main Fryer Base. CAUTION: During cooking, the Drawer Pan and Basket will be very hot; only use the cool-touch handles or oven mitts.
When Cooking/Frying is Complete:
- When the timer completes its countdown, the air fryer will beep and stop heating - this signals it is time to remove your food. (Please note that the fan motor will continue to operate in order to cool down the Drawer Pan and the Basket; this will stop within approximately 30 seconds). NOTE: You can also switch off the appliance manually by turning the timer down to 0 or opening the basket at any time during the cooking process.
- Carefully pull out the Drawer Pan from the Main Fryer Base by pulling forward on the handle.
- Remove the Basket from the Drawer Pan by Using the Basket handle and lifting up on the basket. CAUTION: When sliding out the Drawer Pan, be careful of hot air and steam. Keep hands and face away from the opening. CAUTION: After cooking, the Drawer Pan and Basket will be extremely hot to the touch. Do not touch surfaces of the Drawer Pan or Basket directly.
- Check that your foods are ready. If not, then place the Basket back into the Drawer Pan and set the timer for a few more minutes.
- Empty the contents of the Basket into a bowl or onto a plate. If necessary, you can also use Tongs to remove foods from the Basket. TIP: If food contents within Basket are too heavy to lift using the Basket Handle, use oven mitts to carefully pull out the whole Drawer Pan and Basket together. Place on a flat, heat-resistant surface and use Tongs to remove contents from the Basket. TIP: Do not turn the Basket and Drawer Pan upside down together, as any excess oil that has collected in the bottom of the Drawer Pan will be poured onto the foods.
- When the next batch of ingredients is ready, the air fryer is instantly ready to use again.
- When cooking is complete, remove the Power cord from the electrical outlet.
Cleaning and Maintenance
- The Air Fryer should be cleaned thoroughly after every use. Make sure the Power cord is disconnected from the electrical outlet and that the appliance has cooled down before attempting to clean. The Drawer Pan, Basket and the inside of the appliance have a nonstick coating.
- Do not use metal utensils or abrasive cleaning materials on them, as this can damage the non-stick coating. Wipe the outside of the appliance with a damp cloth.
- CAUTION: Do not allow water to seep into the LED control panel as that may damage the appliance.
- Clean the Drawer Pan and Basket with hot water, dishwashing soap and a non-abrasive sponge. You can use a degreaser to remove any stuck-on residue.
- NOTE: The Drawer Pan and Basket are dishwasher-safe (top rack only). TIP: If food residue is stuck to the Basket or the bottom of the Drawer Pan, place the Basket into the Drawer Pan and fill with dishwashing soap and water and let soak for 10 minutes. Clean the inside of the appliance with hot water and a non-abrasive sponge.
- Never immerse the power cord, plug or the appliance body in water or any other liquids.
- Dry all parts after each use, re-assemble and store in a cool, dry location.
Troubleshooting Guide
| Problem | Possible cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| The air fryer does not work. | The appliance is not plugged in. | Plug the power cord into an electrical outlet. |
| The appliance is defective. | Contact your store for return/replacement. | |
| Food not completely cooked/fried. | There is too much food in the Basket. | Use smaller batches of food in the Basket. Small batches of food will cook more evenly. |
| The cooking temperature is set too low. | Increase the temperature setting. Check "Cooking Time Chart" found in this manual. | |
| The cooking time is too short. | Increase the time setting. Check "Cooking Time Chart" found in this manual. | |
| Food cooked is uneven. | Certain foods need to be stirred/mixed mid-way through the cooking process. | Foods that overlap inside the Basket need to be stirred mid-way through cooking. Go to section: 'During the Cooking/Frying Process' in this manual. |
| Fried snacks are not crispy. | You used a type of snack meant to be prepared in a traditional deep fryer. | Use oven snacks or lightly brush some oil onto the snacks for a crispier result. |
| I cannot close the Drawer Pan properly. | The Basket is too full. | Do not fill the Basket above the MAX level. |
| The Basket is not aligned correctly. | Make sure the Basket is flush with the Drawer Pan. | |
| The Drawer Pan is not properly placed into air fryer. | Make sure there is no obstruction for the Drawer Pan to close properly. | |
| White smoke is emitted out of the appliance during use. | You are preparing food with a high oil content. | When cooking with oily foods, oil will drain into the Drawer Pan. When the air fryer heats up, the pan heats up the oil and produces white smoke. This does not adversely affect the air fryer or your cooking process. |
| The pan has built-up oil residue from previous uses. | White smoke is caused by oil leftover in the Drawer Pan. Make sure to thoroughly clean the Drawer Pan after every use. | |
| Home-made French fries are coming out unevenly cooked. | Your potatoes are not fresh or are frozen. | Make sure to use fresh and firm potatoes. Not frozen potatoes for home-made French fries. |
| Potato strips were not thoroughly rinsed prior to frying. | Thoroughly rinse sliced potato to remove all starch prior to frying. | |
| Your home-made French fries are not crispy after air frying. | Crispy results are directly linked to the amount of oil and water content of the fresh potato strips. | Potato strips need to be thoroughly dried before adding oil. Slice potato strips thinner if you want them crispier. Use a bit more oil on the potato strips prior to frying if you want crispier results. |

Mexican Chicken Burgers
- Blender
- 4 Chicken Breasts skin and bones removed
- 1 Small Cauliflower
- 1 Large Egg beaten
- 3 Tbsp Smoked Paprika
- 1 Tbsp Thyme
- 1 Tbsp Oregano
- 1 Tbsp Mustard Powder
- 1 Tsp Cayenne Pepper
- 1 Jalapeno Pepper
- Salt & Pepper
Preheat your air fryer to 180°C. In a blender add all your seasonings and your cauliflower and blend until it resembles breadcrumbs. Remove ¾ of it from your blender and place it into your mixing bowl ready for later. In another bowl add your beaten egg to also save for later. In the blender add your chicken breasts and blend with the ¼ of your ingredients from later. Add a little extra salt and pepper. Remove from the blender and make into burger shapes. If it is not binding properly add some extra cauliflower crumbs. Get each burger and roll in the cauliflower crumbs, the egg and then the cauliflower crumbs again. Do this for each of them. Once they are all done place them onto a baking mat and cook in the air fryer for 20 minutes at 180°C. Flip them over and then cook for a further 10 minutes on the other side so that both sides will become crispy and delicious. Serve with coleslaw, pickles and crisps.
Buffalo Cauliflower
- 4 cups cauliflower florets
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs mixed with 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/4 cup melted vegan butter (1/4 cup after melting)
- 1/4 cup vegan Buffalo sauce
Melt the vegan butter in a mug in the microwave, then whisk in the buffalo sauce. Holding by the stem, dip each floret in the butter/buffalo mixture, getting most of the floret coated in sauce. It's fine if a bit of the stem doesn't get saucy. Hold the floret over the mug until it pretty much stops dripping. A few drips are OK, but if it's raining sauce, your panko is going to get clumpy and stop sticking as well. Dredge the dipped floret in the panko/salt mixture, coating as much as you like, then place in the air fryer. Air fry at 350°F (do not preheat) for 14-17 minutes, shaking a few times, and checking their progress when you shake. Your cauliflower is done when the florets are a little bit browned. Serve with your dipping sauce of choice.
Spinach and Artichoke White Pizza
- olive oil
- 3 cups fresh spinach
- 2 cloves garlic, minced, divided

- 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
- 1½ teaspoon dried oregano
- salt and freshly ground black pepper
Heat the oil in medium sauté pan on the stovetop. Add the spinach and half the minced garlic to the pan and sauté for a few minutes, until the spinach has wilted. Remove the sautéed spinach from the pan and set it aside. Pre-heat the air fryer to 390°F. Cut out a piece of aluminum foil the same size as the bottom of the air fryer basket. Brush the foil circle with olive oil. Shape the dough into a circle and place it on top of the foil. Dock the dough by piercing it several times with a fork. Brush the dough lightly with olive oil and transfer it into the air fryer basket with the foil on the bottom. Air-fry the plain pizza dough for 6 minutes. Turn the dough over, remove the aluminum foil and brush again with olive oil, air-fry for an additional 4 minutes. Sprinkle the mozzarella and Fontina cheeses over the dough. Top with the spinach and artichoke hearts. Sprinkle the Parmesan cheese and dried oregano on top and drizzle with olive oil. Lower the temperature of the air fryer to 350°F and cook for 8 minutes, until cheese has melted and is lightly browned. Season to taste with salt and fresh ground black pepper.
