Overview

The Instant™ Air Fryer 3.8L is a kitchen appliance designed to cook delicious meals with less oil and hassle compared to traditional deep frying. It utilizes rapid air circulation to crisp or cook food, aiming to provide the rich, crispy flavor of deep-fried dishes with minimal oil. This user manual provides comprehensive instructions for its setup, operation, cleaning, and troubleshooting, ensuring a safe and effective cooking experience.

Function Description

The Instant™ Air Fryer's primary function is air frying, which involves circulating hot air around food to cook it evenly and achieve a crispy texture. This method is a healthier alternative to deep frying, as it requires little to no oil. The appliance is designed for household use and is not intended for commercial purposes. It features a cooking chamber where food is placed, typically on a perforated cooking tray, to allow for optimal airflow. The air fryer operates by heating an element and then circulating the hot air with a fan, ensuring that food is cooked from all sides.

Usage Features

The Instant™ Air Fryer is designed for simplicity and ease of use, featuring a straightforward control panel with two main knobs: a temperature control dial and a time control dial.

  • Control Panel: The control panel includes a temperature control knob, a time control knob, a power light, and a "Heat On" light.

    • Temperature Control Knob: This dial allows users to set the cooking temperature, ranging from 100°C to 200°C, with an additional "Warm" setting at 76°C and an "Off" position.
    • Time Control Knob: This dial sets the cooking duration, from 0 to 60 minutes. The air fryer will chime to indicate when the timer has run out.
    • Power Light: Illuminates when the appliance is plugged in and powered on.
    • Heat On Light: Illuminates during cooking, indicating that the heating element is active.
  • Cooking Process:

    1. Preparation: Users should cut, chop, season, marinate, or batter their ingredients according to their recipe.
    2. Loading Food: Food is placed into the air frying basket, typically on the perforated cooking tray. The cooking tray is essential for airflow and is recommended for most foods, such as wings and cauliflower bites. Food can be placed directly on the cooking tray without foil or other coverings.
    3. Basket Insertion: The air frying basket is then securely inserted into the cooker, ensuring it is flush with the front of the appliance.
    4. Setting Temperature and Time: The temperature control dial is rotated to the desired temperature setting, and the time control dial is rotated to the desired time setting.
    5. Cooking Completion: The air fryer chimes to signal the end of the cooking cycle.
  • Safety Precautions During Use:

    • Placement: The appliance must be placed on a stable, non-combustible, level countertop, away from hot gas or electric burners, heated ovens, water, or flames. It should not be used outdoors or in direct sunlight. Adequate space (at least 13 cm) should be left around all sides of the appliance for sufficient airflow.
    • Hot Surfaces: Users are warned not to touch hot surfaces or accessories during or immediately after cooking. Oven mitts should be used when removing hot accessories, which should then be placed on a heat-resistant surface.
    • Overfilling: The air fryer should not be overfilled, as this can cause food to contact the heating element, potentially leading to fire or property damage.
    • Oil Usage: Users should not pour oil directly into the cooking container. If needed, food can be lightly sprayed with non-stick cooking spray.
    • Vents: The air vents should never be blocked, and the air fryer should not be covered while in operation, as this can prevent even cooking and damage the appliance.
    • Unattended Operation: The appliance should not be left unattended while in use and should not be used for more than 60 minutes in a 2-hour period.
    • Black Smoke: If black smoke is emitted, users should immediately press Cancel, unplug the appliance, wait for smoking to stop, then open the door/basket and clean thoroughly.
    • Children: Children or persons with reduced physical, sensory, or mental capabilities should not operate the appliance without close supervision.

Maintenance Features

Proper cleaning and care are crucial for maintaining the Instant™ Air Fryer's performance and longevity. The appliance should be cleaned after each use, ensuring all parts have cooled to room temperature before cleaning.

  • Exterior of Cooker:

    • Clean with a soft, damp cloth or sponge, then wipe dry.
  • Power Cord:

    • While unplugged, use a barely damp cloth to wipe off any particles.
