Usage Features:
Before First Use:
- Remove all packaging materials, stickers, and labels.
- Thoroughly clean the basket and pot with hot water, washing-up liquid, and a non-abrasive sponge.
- Wipe the inside and outside of the appliance with a moist cloth.
- Note that this is an oil-free fryer; do not fill the pot with oil or frying fat directly.
Preparing for Use:
- Place the appliance on a stable, horizontal, and even non-heat-resistant surface.
- Place the basket in the pot (Fig.3).
- Do not fill the pot with oil or any other liquid.
- Do not place anything on top of the appliance to avoid disrupting airflow and affecting frying results.
Using the Appliance (Hot Air Frying):
- Connect the mains plug to an earthed wall socket.
- Carefully pull the pot out (Fig.6).
- Place ingredients in the basket (Fig.5).
- Slide the pot back into the fryer (Fig.4), ensuring it aligns with the guides. Never use the pot without the shelf.
- Determine the required preparation time and temperature (refer to 'Settings' section).
- Some ingredients require shaking halfway through cooking. Pull the pot out by the handle, shake, and slide it back in. If the timer is set for half the preparation time, it will buzz, prompting you to shake ingredients and reset the timer for the remaining time.
- When the timer buzzes, the set preparation time has elapsed. Pull the pot out.
- To manually switch off, set the time to 1.
- Check if ingredients are ready. If not, slide the pot back in and set the timer for a few extra minutes.
- To remove ingredients, pull the pot out and place it on a trial framework. Do not turn the pot upside down while still attached, as excess oil may leak onto ingredients.
- The pot and ingredients will be hot; steam may escape.
- Empty the contents into a bowl or onto a plate.
- The fryer is ready for another batch immediately after one is finished.
Control Panel Instructions:
- Power Key (ن): When the basket and pot are correctly placed, the Power light illuminates. Pressing for 3 seconds sets the default temperature to 200℃ and cooking time to 15 minutes. Pressing again starts cooking. Pressing for 3 seconds during cooking turns off the device, stopping the fan and extinguishing all lights. During cooking, this key can also pause and start cooking.
- Preset Key (M): Scrolls through 8 popular food choices, automatically setting predetermined time and temperature.
- Timer/Temperature Control Keys (+/-):
- Timer Control Buttons: Add or decrease cooking time by one minute per press. Holding the button changes time rapidly.
- Temperature Control Buttons: Add or decrease cooking temperature by 5℃ per press. Holding the button changes temperature rapidly. Temperature control range: 80℃-200℃.
- Indicator lights:
- "Fan indicator"
- Center circle: "Heating lamp"
- Around 5 lamp lights: "Motor work"
- "Temperature light"
- "Timer light"
- "Timer indicator"
- "Recipe indicator"
Settings (Table provides basic settings, but these are indications and may vary based on ingredient origin, size, shape, and brand):
- Time: 1-60 min
- Temperature: 80-200℃
- Min-max Amount (g): 100-600g (for various items like Steak, Wings, Shrimp, Fish, Snacks, Fries, Bake, Vegetables).
- Note 1: Add 3 minutes to preparation time when starting with a cold fryer.
- Note 2: Turn or shake once during baking.
Tips:
- Smaller ingredients require shorter preparation times.
- Larger amounts of ingredients require slightly longer preparation times.
- Shaking smaller ingredients halfway optimizes results and prevents uneven frying.
- Adding oil to fresh potatoes can create a crispier result.
- Do not prepare extremely greasy ingredients (e.g., sausages).
- Snacks suitable for an oven can also be prepared in the air fryer.
- Optimal amount for crispy fries is 500 grams.
- Use pre-made dough for quick snacks; it requires less preparation time than homemade dough.
- Use a baking tin or oven dish in the basket for cakes, quiches, or fragile/filled ingredients.
- To reheat ingredients, set the temperature to 150°C for up to 10 minutes.
Maintenance Features:
Cleaning:
- Clean the appliance after every use.
- Do not use metal kitchen utensils or abrasive cleaning materials on the pot and non-stick coating shelf, as this may damage the non-stick coating.
- Remove the mains plug and allow the appliance to cool down. Removing the pot helps it cool faster.
- Wipe the outside with a moist cloth.
- Clean the pot and basket with hot water, some washing-up liquid, and a non-abrasive sponge. Use degreasing liquid for stubborn dirt.
- If dirt is stuck, fill the pot with hot water and washing-up liquid, place the basket in it, and let soak for approximately 10 minutes.
- Clean the inside of the appliance with hot water and a non-abrasive sponge.
- Clean the heating element with a cleaning brush to remove food residues.
Storage:
- Unplug the appliance and let it cool down.
- Ensure all parts are clean and dry before storage.
Troubleshooting:
- Appliance not working: Check if plugged into an earthed wall socket. Ensure the timer key is set for the required preparation time.
- Ingredients not done: Reduce the amount of ingredients in the basket. Set the temperature key to the required setting. Set the timer to the required preparation time.
- Ingredients fried unevenly: Shake certain types of ingredients halfway through the preparation time (e.g., fries).
- Fried snacks not crispy: Use oven snacks or lightly brush with oil. Do not overfill the pot.
- Pan cannot be slid in properly: Ensure the pot is placed correctly and push it in the correct direction.
- White smoke: This can occur when frying greasy ingredients (oil leaks into the pot, heats up, produces white smoke, but does not affect appliance or result). It can also be caused by grease residues from previous use; ensure the pan is cleaned properly after each use.
- Fresh fries fried unevenly: Use the right potato type. Rinse potato sticks properly to remove starch.
- Fresh fries not crispy: Crispiness depends on oil and water content. Dry potato sticks properly before adding oil. Cut potato sticks smaller for crispier results. Add slightly more oil for crispier results.
