Notes:
- Make sure food is completely cooked before eating.
- The cooking time and temperature are given for reference; the result of cooking depends on the size and shape of the food.
- It is recommended to add 5 minutes to the cooking time if the air fryer is cold.
- In case you consider the result of the food cooking to be unsatisfactory, you can increase or decrease the cooking time/cooking temperature or the weight of the food.
Recommendations
- When you fry food in the air fryer, it is recommended to add a small amount of refined olive or vegetable oil. The oil can be applied to the food with a brush or use an oil sprayer; this option is more economical and the oil will be applied to the food more evenly.
- Do not overfill the grill (3) with food.
- For best results, some foods may need to be turned over while air frying.
- To avoid excess smoke, when cooking foods with a naturally high fat content such as chicken wings or sausages, it may be necessary to drain the fat from the tray (6), and it is recommended to cook such foods in small batches.
- Before placing food on the grill (3), make sure that it is dry; if necessary, remove excess moisture. This will help to get a crust on the food and reduce the amount of steam and smoke escaping.
- When frying breaded foods, make sure that the breading does not peel off the food and position the food pieces so that they do not touch; this will ensure good circulation of hot air between the products.
- You can reheat the food in the air fryer. It is recommended to set the temperature not higher than 140°C and the operation time no more than 10 minutes.
- To kill various harmful bacteria, it is recommended to cook such meat as: beef, lamb, etc. at an internal temperature of 63°C. Pork should be cooked at an internal temperature of 71°C, and poultry products should be cooked at an internal temperature of 77°C - 82°C.
- When reheating meat/poultry products, they should be heated up to an internal temperature of 74°C.
- Use a cooking thermometer to measure the temperature.
Memory Function
If during cooking program operation, you accidentally unplugged the power cord plug (8) from the main socket, or there is no voltage in the mains socket, the memory function will be switched on.
The memory function will remember the cooking programs for 2 hours.
Once the power supply is resumed, you will hear a sound signal, all indicators on the control panel (4) will light up for 1 second and will go out again, after that you will hear a short sound signal, and the air fryer will go into operation state.
If you need to switch the cooking program off, press and hold the ON/OFF button (13) [Power Button] for 3 seconds. The heating element will be switched on, the symbol (16) [Heating Indicator] will go out, the fan will continue to operate for 20 more seconds. After that, you will hear sound signals, and the air fryer will go into standby mode.
Troubleshooting
Malfunction | Possible Cause | Solution |
---|---|---|
The air fryer is not operating | The power cord plug is not inserted into an electrical outlet. | Insert the power plug into an electrical outlet. |
The tray is not fully inserted into the air fryer body. | Install the tray correctly. | |
You haven't turned on the air fryer. | Turn on the air fryer by pressing the on/off button. | |
Food is undercooked at the end of the cooking program. | There is too much food on the grill. | Place less food on the grill. Small portions of food cook more evenly. |
A low cooking temperature has been set. | Set the cooking temperature to a higher temperature. | |
The set time is not enough to cook the food. | Increase the food preparation time. | |
Foods are not evenly cooked in the air grill. | Some foods are recommended to be turned over halfway through the cooking time. | During cooking, it is necessary to ensure even distribution of the food on the grill and ensure free passage of hot air between the products. |
Food is not cooked until crispy. | You used food that is meant to be cooked in a traditional deep fryer. | Use oven-safe foods or lightly brush foods with vegetable oil for a crispy finish. |
Displaying the symbol 1 | Temperature sensor malfunction | Apply to the service center. |
Displaying the symbol 2 | Temperature sensor break or short circuit | Apply to the service center. |
White smoke comes out of the air fryer. | You cook fatty foods; the fat leaks out and ends up at the bottom of the tray. | When you cook fatty foods, the fat leaks out and gets to the bottom of the tray, and white smoke will be released when the tray heats up. White smoke does not in any way affect the final result of cooking products or the operation of the air fryer. |
There are residual fats on the grill or in the tray from previous cooking. | Clean the grill and tray thoroughly after each use of the air fryer. | |
Fresh French fries do not cook evenly in the fryer. | The potato variety is not suitable for cooking in the air fryer. | Choose a potato variety that will remain firm during cooking. |
Fresh French fries are not crispy after cooking. | You didn't wash your potato properly before frying them in the air fryer. | Rinse French fries to remove starch and remove excess moisture before cooking potatoes. |
The crispness of French fries depends on the variety of potato, amount of oil and moisture in the potato. | Before cooking potatoes, make sure they are dry. Cut your fries finer. Apply a small amount of vegetable oil to the fries using a brush or sprayer. |
