This document describes the Defy DAF7003B Air Fryer, a small appliance designed for home use and food preparation. It emphasizes safety, proper usage, and maintenance to ensure optimal performance and longevity.
The air fryer's primary function is to cook food using hot air, offering a healthier alternative to traditional deep frying. It features a removable basket system that allows for easy placement and removal of food, as well as convenient cleaning. The appliance is equipped with both a timer and a temperature control button, enabling users to precisely adjust cooking settings according to the specific food being prepared. A power indicator and a heat indicator provide visual cues regarding the appliance's operational status. The design includes a protection cover and a basket release button for safe handling of the hot basket drawer. An air outlet ensures proper ventilation during operation, and a power cord connects the appliance to the mains supply.
Before its initial use, the air fryer requires a preparatory cleaning process. All packaging materials must be removed, and the appliance should be placed on a stable, flat, clean, dry, and non-slip surface. The basket drawer and the removable basket should be thoroughly cleaned with warm soapy water and then dried completely. This ensures that any manufacturing residues are removed before food contact. The manual explicitly states that the basket drawer should never be used without the frying basket inserted. During the cleaning process, it's crucial to allow the appliance to cool down completely before handling any parts, especially the frying basket and drawer. The outer surface of the appliance can be cleaned with a damp cloth and then dried. To prevent the accumulation of foreign material, the bottom of the frying basket and drawer should always be kept clean.
When it comes to usage, the air fryer is designed for straightforward operation. After preparing the appliance, food should be placed in the frying basket. For best results, it is recommended to blend the food with a small amount of oil before cooking. The manual warns against overfilling the cooking pan or exceeding the maximum food level, and it specifies that the appliance is not suitable for recipes containing large amounts of liquid. Once the food is in place, the basket is attached to the appliance, ensuring it fits completely. The user then plugs in the appliance and sets the desired cooking time using the timer knob and the temperature using the temperature control knob. The appliance will begin to warm up, indicated by the red power indicator light. The green heat indicator light will illuminate once the set temperature is reached. If the appliance is cold, a preheating step of 5 minutes is recommended by turning the timer knob to +5 minutes. The appliance will not heat up unless the timer dial is set. To ensure uniform cooking, especially for certain foods, the user may need to remove the basket drawer and shake the food, adjusting the temperature if necessary. The manual provides a crucial warning: when shaking food, the basket must be in the locked position, and the basket release button should not be pressed. The cooking process can be stopped at any time by turning the timer knob to 0.
Upon completion of the set frying time, a warning tone will sound, and the appliance will automatically shut down. The user should then remove the frying drawer to check the food's color and state. If further cooking is needed, the frying time can be extended. After cooking, it's important to let the food rest for 5 to 10 seconds before removing it from the frying basket. Tongs are recommended for removing large or soft foods. The manual advises that since hot or filtered oil can accumulate at the bottom of the pan, the basket with ingredients should always be removed from the pan before serving. The appliance is instantly ready for another batch of food once the previous one is complete. If necessary, the inner container can be removed from the appliance and placed on a trivet. The manual also highlights a continuous time function, indicated by a specific icon, which allows for extended operation until the timer switch is manually turned to the off position.
Safety is a paramount concern, and the manual provides extensive instructions. It emphasizes that the appliance complies with international safety standards and is intended for home use only, not professional use. Users are warned that the appliance may emit some smoke during its first use, which is normal. It is not intended for use by persons with reduced physical, sensory, or mental capabilities, or lack of experience, unless supervised. Children should be supervised to ensure they do not play with the appliance. The handles of cooking appliances should be positioned to prevent hot liquids from spilling. Users must ensure the appliance's voltage matches the mains voltage and use it with a grounding plug, avoiding extension cords. The appliance should not be placed near heat sources. To prevent power cord damage, it should not be pinched, crimped, or rubbed against sharp edges. The appliance should not be unplugged by pulling the cord, nor should the appliance or its power cord be immersed in water. It should not be left unattended while plugged in or disassembled. Only original or manufacturer-recommended parts should be used. Before cleaning, the appliance must be unplugged, and all parts dried completely afterward. In case of fire, the appliance should be unplugged, and water should not be poured on it due to electric shock risk. The appliance should not be operated with an external timer or remote control system. The oil level, if applicable, must be within specified maximum and minimum levels. Only metal kitchenware with insulated handles should be used. Nothing should be placed on the appliance while it is operating or hot. To disconnect, both the timer and temperature dials should be turned to the off position before unplugging. Packaging materials should be kept out of reach of children. The manual also warns against touching hot surfaces to avoid burns and advises allowing the appliance to cool down in a safe place out of reach of children. Air inlet and outlet openings should not be blocked during operation, and users should not lean over the appliance while it is in use, as hot air rises. Adequate room ventilation is also recommended during use.
For storage, if the appliance will not be used for a long time, it should be unplugged, allowed to cool, and stored in a cool, dry place, out of reach of children. During transport and shipping, the appliance should be carried in its original packaging to protect it from physical damage. Heavy objects should not be placed on the appliance or its packaging, as this may cause damage. If the appliance is dropped, it may not operate or could suffer permanent damage.
The manual also includes a recipe section with various food items, their recommended amounts, shapes, temperatures, cooking times, and whether shaking is required. This provides a practical guide for users to get started with their air fryer.
