CLEANING & MAINTENANCE

HELPFUL TIPS

Cleaning Your Air Fryer

NOTE: NEVER immerse the main unit in

water or any other liquid. NEVER clean the main unit in a dishwasher.

The unit should be cleaned thoroughly after every use.

1 Unplug the unit from the wall socket

before cleaning.

2 To clean the main unit and the control

panel, wipe them clean with a damp cloth. Do not use a scouring pad.

3 The pan, crisper plate, and any

accessories can be washed in the dishwasher.

4 If food residue is stuck on the crisper

plate or pan, place them in a sink ﬁlled with warm, soapy water and allow to soak.

5 Air-dry or towel-dry all parts after use.

1 For consistent browning, make sure

ingredients are arranged in an even layer on the bottom of the pan with no overlapping. If ingredients are overlapping, make sure to shake them halfway through the set cook time.

2 Cook time and temperature can be

adjusted at any time during cooking. Simply press the up and down TIME or TEMP arrows to adjust the time or temperature.

3 To convert recipes from your conventional

oven, reduce the temperature of the Air Fryer by 10°C. Check food frequently to avoid overcooking.

4 We recommend 3 minutes of preheating.

You can use the built-in timer to set a 3-minute countdown.

5 Occasionally, the fan from the Air Fryer

will blow lightweight foods around. To alleviate this, secure foods (like the top slice of bread on a sandwich) with cocktail sticks.

6 The crisper plate elevates ingredients

in the pan so air can circulate under and around them for even, crisp results.

7 After a cooking function is selected, you

can press the START/STOP button to begin cooking immediately. The unit will run at the default temperature and time.

8 For best results, remove food

immediately after the cook time is complete to avoid overcooking.

9 For best results with fresh vegetables

and potatoes, use at least 1 tablespoon of oil. Add more oil as desired to achieve the preferred level of crispiness.

10 For best results, check progress

throughout cooking, and remove food when desired level of brownness has been achieved. We recommend using an instant-read thermometer to monitor internal temperature of foods. After the cook time is complete, remove food immediately to avoid overcooking.

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE

• Why won’t the temperature go any higher?

The max temperature is 240˚C for Max Crisp. The max temperature is 200˚C for all

other functions.

• How long does it take to preheat, and how will I know when it’s done?

We recommend 3 minutes of preheating. To preheat, select desired function and

temperature, set time to 3 minutes, and press Start/Stop

• Should I add the ingredients before or after preheating?

For best results, let the unit preheat for 3 minutes before adding ingredients.

• When should I use Max Crisp instead of Air Fry?

For best results, use Max Crisp when cooking prepackaged frozen foods such as french

fries or chicken nuggets.

• Do I need to defrost frozen foods before air frying?

It depends on the food. Follow package instructions.

• How do I pause the countdown?

The countdown timer will pause automatically when you remove the pan from the unit.

Pressing Start/Stop during cooking will stop the cooking function and reset the timer.

• Is the pan safe to put on my worktop?

The pan will heat during cooking. Use caution when handling, and place

on heat-safe surfaces only.

• How do I know when to use the crisper plate?

Use the crisper plate when you want food to come out crispy. The plate elevates the

food in the pan so that air can ﬂow under it to cook ingredients evenly.

• Why do some ingredients blow around when air frying?

Occasionally, the fan from the Air Fryer will blow lightweight foods around. Use

toothpicks to secure loose lightweight food, like the top slice on a sandwich.

• Can I air fry fresh battered ingredients?

Yes, but use the proper breaded coating technique. It is important to coat foods ﬁrst

with ﬂour, then with egg, and then with bread crumbs. Be sure to press the bread crumbs onto the food so they stick in place. Loose coating may be blown o by the unit’s powerful fan.

• Why is the unit beeping?

The cooking function is complete.

• The screen went black.

The unit is in standby mode. Press the power button to turn it back on.

• An “E” message appears on display screen.

The unit is not functioning properly. Please contact Customer Service at

AU 02 8801 7666 – NZ 0800 112 660

• My food didn’t cook.

Make sure the pan is fully inserted during cooking. For consistent browning, make sure

ingredients are arranged in an even layer on the bottom of the pan with no overlapping. Shake to toss loose ingredients for consistent crispiness. Cook time and temperature can be adjusted at any time during cooking. Simply press the TIME or TEMP buttons and rotate the dial.

• My food is over-cooked.

For best results, check progress throughout cooking, and remove food when desired

level of brownness has been achieved. Remove food immediately after the cook time is complete to avoid overcooking.
