This document describes the Healthy Choice AF1200 12 Litre Digital Air Fryer, a versatile kitchen appliance designed for household use.

Function Description:

The AF1200 is a 12-litre digital air fryer that utilizes "turbo air" technology to cook food with minimal oil, circulating superheated air up to 200°C. It functions as a multi-purpose cooking device, capable of grilling, roasting, frying, and baking. The appliance features a fully digitized display with 10 in-built cooking programs, offering a healthier, low-fat, low-calorie, and fast-cooking alternative to traditional methods. These preset programs include options for chips, beef, prawn, bake, chicken pieces, steak, fish, whole chicken, dehydrator, and defrost. Users can also manually set cooking times and temperatures. A unique feature is the rotisserie 360° food rotating option, ideal for achieving crispy results with items like chips or roasted nuts. The air fryer includes a secure, retro glass viewing window that is removable for cleaning, allowing users to monitor cooking progress. It also offers three layers of rack levels for simultaneous cooking of meals and sides.

Usage Features:

The air fryer comes with a comprehensive set of accessories to support various cooking styles:

• Rotisserie Fork Set: Used for roasts or whole chickens up to 1 kilogram. Installation involves forcing the shaft length-ways through the meat and centering it, then sliding forks onto the shaft from either end and locking them with screws. Cooking string is recommended for tying chicken or roast meat tightly around the stick.
• Three Mesh Racks: Ideal for dehydrating snacks, cooking crispy snacks, or reheating foods like pizza. They support multi-level cooking and slide along rack shelves for installation and removal.
• Mesh Tray: Functions as a protection cover to prevent food from contacting the top heating element. It is installed by placing the wire handle face down and sliding it along the top plastic shelf.
• Drip Tray: Placed at the bottom of the air fryer to collect oil from fried food, ensuring easy clean-ups.
• Cage Tongs: Used for safely removing hot rotisserie items or the rolling cage from the air fryer.

The control panel features a digital display showing time and temperature.

• Power/Start-Stop Button: Turns the screen on (hold for 3 seconds), activates cooking at default settings (180°C, 15 minutes) with a second press, or shuts down the air fryer (hold for 2 seconds) during operation.
• Food Icon Buttons: Allow selection of preset cooking programs. The chosen icon blinks until the power button is pressed to start.
• Internal Light Button: Illuminates the interior to check cooking progress. Opening the door pauses cooking and automatically illuminates the light.
• Rotation Button: Activates the rotisserie function for the rotisserie fork set or rolling cage, indicated by a blinking icon.
• Time Control Icons (+/-): Adjust cooking time within specified ranges.
• Temperature Control Icons (+/-): Adjust cooking temperature within specified ranges.

• Do not use extension cords or power boards; plug into a dedicated power point.
• Ensure the door is closed before plugging in and switching on.
• Do not immerse the cord, plug, or appliance in water or any other liquid.
• Wear oven mitts when handling hot accessories (rolling cage, rotisserie fork set, mesh pieces, drip tray).
• Do not cover the appliance while in use.
• Do not leave the appliance operating unattended.
• If black smoke is emitted, unplug immediately and wait for smoke to stop before removing contents.

• Main Unit: The inside can be cleaned with hot water, a mild detergent, and a non-abrasive sponge. The outer housing body should be wiped with a soft, damp cloth; do not use detergents or cleaners on the outside.
• Storage: Allow the appliance to cool completely before storing in an upright position in a dry location. Avoid placing heavy items on top.

Preparation for First Use:

• Upon first use, a slight, harmless odor may be emitted due to protective oil applied during manufacturing; this will dissipate.
