LAKELAND TOUCHSCREEN AIR FRYER

Thank you for choosing the Lakeland Touchscreen Air Fryer.

Please take a little time to read this booklet before getting started and keep it in a safe
place for future reference.

Our Touchscreen Air Fryer helps you cook your favourite food the healthier way, using little
or no oil.

Versatile, quick and convenient, the top grill circulates hot air to cook your food
evenly from all directions, so you can cook meat, fish, poultry and seafood to perfection.
Fantastic for frozen foods like French fries and scampi too, and you can fry up to 500
grams of crisp, delicious, guilt-free home-made chips with just a single teaspoon of oil.

With a more compact footprint than other air fryers, there’s no messy oil to change and
less of the odours associated with traditional deep fat fryers. It’s simple to use with an LED
touchscreen control panel, and a clear countdown timer helps you keep track of progress.

Here at Lakeland, our award-winning family-owned business still offers the same excellent
quality, value for money and exceptional customer service as when we founded the
company back in the 1960s.

Our products are hand-picked and thoroughly tested so you can be sure that everything
you purchase will be a pleasure to use for many years to come.
