The Farberware Digital Oil-Less Fryer, model FT 43479 W, is a versatile kitchen appliance designed to prepare a variety of foods and snacks in a quick, healthy, and easy way. This fryer utilizes a combination of heat and high-speed air circulation to cook ingredients from all sides simultaneously, allowing for tasty dishes without the addition of excess oils or fats to most ingredients.
The core function of this appliance is to air-fry food, offering an alternative to traditional deep frying with less oil. It can also be used for baking, grilling, and roasting, making it a multi-functional tool for a busy kitchen. The fryer features digital controls for both cooking time and temperature, providing precise management over the cooking process. An intuitive digital control panel includes eight preset menu options for common dishes, simplifying operation. The temperature can be adjusted within a range of 150°F to 400°F (65°C to 200°C), while the timer can be set from 1 to 60 minutes. A convenient auto shut-off feature ensures that the unit turns off automatically once the timer reaches "0," preventing overcooking and enhancing safety. The appliance has a capacity of 2 lbs, suitable for preparing meals for individuals or small families.
Operating the Farberware Digital Oil-Less Fryer is designed to be straightforward. Before first use, all packaging materials, labels, and transportation means should be removed, and the package content checked for completeness and damage. The appliance should always be used with the basket securely placed in the basket holder. It is recommended to operate the fryer for at least 20 minutes on its highest setting until no odor or smoke is present, ensuring ample ventilation during this initial run.
To begin cooking, the appliance should be placed on a clean, flat, and heat-resistant surface, ensuring a minimum distance of at least 6 inches from other objects, cupboards, and walls for proper air circulation. The basket (10) is inserted into the basket holder (6), and food is then placed into the basket. It is crucial not to overfill the basket, ensuring the food does not exceed the MAX marking. The appliance is equipped with a safety switch (5) that prevents it from operating if the basket holder (6) is not correctly placed in the housing (2).
Once the food is in place, the power cord (3) is plugged into a wall outlet, and the on/off button (16) will light up blue. Pressing the on/off button (16) switches the appliance on, displaying default settings (400°F and 15 minutes). Users can select one of the eight preset cooking programs using the select program button (15) or manually adjust the temperature and time using the increase/decrease temperature buttons (13, 14) and increase/decrease time buttons (17, 18). Pressing and holding these buttons allows for faster adjustments. The start/pause button (19) initiates the cooking program, with the fan symbol on the display (12) blinking blue until the set temperature is reached, then remaining continuously on. During cooking, the fan symbol will blink periodically to indicate heating and maintain a consistent temperature.
For optimal results, especially for golden and crispy foods like fries, vegetables, chicken, and fish, it is recommended to coat leaner foods with just a tablespoon of oil before placing them in the basket. Some foods may require shaking halfway through the cooking time to ensure even cooking. The appliance can be paused at any time by pressing the start/pause button (19), allowing for adjustments to time, temperature, or program selection before resuming. Once the set time has passed, the appliance will beep, signaling the end of the cooking process. The appliance can also be switched off manually by pressing the on/off button (16).
When removing food, the basket holder (6) is carefully pulled out using the handle (7) and placed on a clean, flat, heat-resistant surface. To separate the basket (10) from the holder (6), the release button cover (9) is pushed forward to expose the release button (8), which is then pressed while lifting the basket upwards by the handle (7). Food can then be carefully poured onto a dish using suitable utensils. It is important to note that the basket holder may contain hot liquids or food residues, so caution is advised.
Proper maintenance is essential for ensuring many years of service from the Farberware Digital Oil-Less Fryer. The appliance should be cleaned after every use. Before cleaning, the appliance must be turned off by pressing the on/off button (16) and unplugged from the wall outlet. All parts should be allowed to cool completely.
The power cord with plug (3) and the appliance housing (2) should never be immersed in water or any other liquids. Abrasive cleaners, steel wool, or scouring pads should not be used, as they can damage the appliance. The inside and outside of the appliance can be wiped with a slightly damp, soft cloth and mild detergent if needed. Special care should be taken when cleaning near the heating element (4) to avoid damage.
The basket holder (6) and basket (10) are designed for easy cleaning. They can be washed in hot soapy water or placed in a dishwasher. It is crucial to ensure that all food residue is removed from the basket and basket holder, as leftover residue can cause odors and smoke emissions during subsequent use. After cleaning, all parts and surfaces must be thoroughly dried before reassembling or storing the appliance to prevent water from entering the housing.
For storage, the appliance should be completely cool, clean, and dry. It is recommended to store it in a dry place, on a stable shelf or in a cupboard, ensuring that both the appliance and its power cord are beyond the reach of children or pets to prevent accidents. The appliance contains no user-serviceable parts, and any servicing or repairs should be handled by qualified personnel.
