The Lakeland Adjustable Air Fryer, Model: 27346, is a versatile kitchen appliance designed for healthier cooking with little to no oil. It utilizes a top grill that circulates hot air to cook food evenly from all directions. This air fryer can prepare a variety of foods including meat, fish, poultry, seafood, and baked goods.
Function Description:
The air fryer features an adjustable design, allowing for two independent crisper drawer sections or the removal of a divide to create a single large crisper drawer. This flexibility enables users to cook different foods simultaneously or larger quantities of the same food. It aims to reduce the mess and odors associated with traditional deep fat fryers. The appliance is controlled via an LED touchscreen panel with a clear countdown timer for monitoring cooking progress.

Safety Precautions:
- Always use on a dry, level, heat-resistant surface.
- Ensure proper ventilation (at least 10cm from walls and surfaces). Condensation may build up, so place on a waterproof surface.
- Do not operate empty (except for preheat) or fill beyond half full.
- Never fill the basket with oil or other liquids to avoid fire hazards.
- If dark smoke appears, unplug immediately and wait for smoke to stop before removing the crisper drawer.
- Do not place food directly into the cooking cavity or in direct contact with the heating element. Always use the crisper drawer with the tray.
- The appliance, crisper drawer, and tray remain hot after use. Allow to cool completely before moving, cleaning, or storing.
- Hot surfaces are marked with a "SSS" symbol; do not touch during or immediately after use. Use oven gloves when handling hot parts.
- Hot steam is released through air vents; keep hands and face at a safe distance.
- Do not use metal utensils with the non-stick coating; use heat-resistant plastic or wooden utensils.
