Using the appliance
The air fryer can prepare a large range of ingredients.
Hot air frying
1. Plug the air fryer into the mains power.
2. Carefully pull the pan out of the fryer. (fig 1)
3. Put the ingredients into the basket. (fig 2)
Never fill the basket beyond the MAX indicator, as
this could affect the quality of the end result.
4. Slide the pan back into the fryer. (fig 3)
Never use the pan without the basket in it.
Caution: do not touch the pan during use or immediately
after, as it gets very hot. Only
hold the pan by the handle.
5. Turn the temperature control knob to the
required temperature. (fig 4)
6. Determine the required preparation time for the ingredients.
7. To switch the appliance on, turn the timer knob to the
required preparation time. (fig 5)
Add 3 minutes to preparation time if the air fryer is cold.
Note: You can preheat the air fryer without ingredients
inside. To do this, turn the timer knob to 3 minutes longer
than the required time and wait until the heating-up light
goes out. Then fill the basket with the ingredients and check
that the timer is still at the correct time.
• The power-on light and the heating-up light go on. (fig 6)
• The timer starts counting down.
• During the hot air frying process, the heating-up light comes on and goes out from time to
time. This indicates that the heating element is switching on and off to maintain temperature.
• Excess oil from the ingredients will collect on the bottom of the
pan.
8. Some ingredients will require shaking halfway through the
preparation time. To shake the ingredients, pull the pan out
of the appliance by the handle and shake it. Then slide the
pan back into the
fryer. (fig 7)
Caution: Do not move the safety lock while shaking pan. (fig 8)
Tip: to reduce weight, you can remove the basket from the pan and shake the basket
only. To do so, pull the pan out of the appliance, place it on a heat-resistant surface, push
the safety lock forward and press the button on the handle and carefully lift the basket
out of the pan.
Tip: if you set the timer to half of the preparation time, you will hear the timer bell when
you have to shake the ingredients. However, this means
that you will need to remember to set the timer for the
remaining preparation time.
9. When the bell rings, the set preparation time has elapsed.
Pull the pan out of the appliance and place it on a heatresistant surface.
Note: you can also switch the appliance off manually by turning to temperature control
knob to 0. (fig 9)
10. Check that the ingredients are ready. If the
ingredients are not ready, simply slide the pan back into
the appliance and set the timer for a few extra minutes.
11. To remove ingredients, press the basket release button and lift the basket out of the pan.
(fig 10)
Do not turn the basket upside down with the pan still attached to it, as any excess oil that
has collected in the bottom of the pan will leak onto the ingredients.

12. Empty the basket into a bowl or onto a plate. (fig 11)
Tip: to remove large or fragile ingredients, use a pair of tongs
to lift the ingredients out of the basket.
13. When a batch of ingredients is ready and out of the basket,
the air fryer is ready to prepare another batch of food instantly.
Settings
The table below will help you to select the basic settings for the ingredients you want to
prepare. Keep in mind that these settings are suggestions, as ingredients differ in origin, size,
shape as well as brand, so we cannot guarantee the best settings for your actual ingredients.
Due to Rapid Air technology instantly reheating the air inside the appliance, pulling the pan
briefly out of the appliance during hot air frying barely disturbs the process.
Tips
• Smaller ingredients usually require a shorter preparation time than larger ingredients.
• A larger amount of ingredients only require a slightly longer preparation time than a smaller
amount of ingredients.
• Shaking smaller ingredients halfway through the preparation time optimises the end result and can
help prevent unevenly fried ingredients.
• Add a few drops of oil to fresh potatoes for a crispy result. Fry your ingredients within a few
minutes after you have added the oil.
• Do not prepare extremely greasy ingredients such as sausages in the air fryer.
• Snacks that can be prepared in an oven can also be prepared in the air fryer.
• The optimal amount for preparing crispy fries is 500g.
• Use pre-made dough to prepare filled snacks quickly and easily. Pre-made dough also requires a
shorter preparation time than home made dough.
• Place a baking tin or oven dish in the air fryer basket if you want to bake a cake or quiche, or if you
want to fry fragile ingredients.
• You can also use the fryer to reheat ingredients. To reheat ingredients, set the temperature to
150°C for up to 10 minutes.

basket.

Wipe the outside of the appliance with a moist cloth.
Clean the pan and basket with hot water, washing-up liquid and a non-abrasive sponge.
You can use a degreasing liquid to remove any remaining dirt.
Tip: if food/oil is stuck to the bottom of the pan or basket, fill the pan with hot water and
washing-up liquid. Put the basket in the pan and leave them to soak for approximately 10
minutes.

Troubleshooting
If you need service or further information, please contact the Kogan customer service team.
Problem Possible Cause Solution
Air fryer not working Appliance is not plugged in. Plug the power plug into a wall socket.
You have not set the timer. Turn the timer knob to the required preparation time.
Ingredients fried in the
air fryer are not cooked
The amount of ingredients in the
basket is too much.
Put smaller batches of ingredients into the basket. Smaller
batches will fry more evenly.
The temperature set is too low. Turn the temperature knob to the required temperature
setting.
Preparation time is too short. Turn the timer knob to the required preparation time.
Ingredients have fried
unevenly in the fryer
Certain types of ingredients need
to be shaken halfway through
preparation.
Ingredients that lie on top of, or across each other in the
basket (ie fries) need to be shaken halfway through
preparation.
Fried snacks are not
crispy after cooking
You used a type of snack that
requires a traditional deep fryer.
Use oven-ready snacks, or lightly brush some oil onto the
snacks for a crispier result.
I cannot slide the pan
into the fryer properly
There is too much ingredients in
the pan already.
Do not fill the basket beyond the MAX indicator.
The basket is not placed in the
pan correctly.
Push the basket down into the pan until you hear a click.
White some is coming
out of the fryer
You are preparing greasy
ingredients.
Why you fry greasy ingredients in the air fryer, a large
amount of oil will leak into the pan. The oil produces white
smoke, and the pan may heat up more than usual. This
does not affect the appliance or the end result.
The pan still contains grease
residue from previous use.
White smoke can be caused by old grease heating up in
the pan. Make sure you clean the pan after each use.
Fresh fries are frying
unevenly in the fryer
You did not use the right potato
type.
Use fresh potatoes and ensure they stay firm while
cooking.
You did not rinse the potato
sticks properly before frying
them.
Rinse the potato sticks properly to remove all starch from
the outside of the sticks.
Fresh fries are not
crispy when they come
out of the fryer
The crispness of the fries
depends on the amount of oil and
water in the fries.
Make sure you dry the potato sticks properly before you
add the oil.
Cut the potato sticks small for a crispier result.
Add slightly more oil for a crisper result.
