CLEANING & MAINTENANCE
Cleaning Your Air Fryer
The unit should be cleaned thoroughly
after every use.
1 Unplug the unit from the wall socket
before cleaning.
2 To clean the main unit and the control
panel, wipe them clean with a damp cloth.
Do not use a scouring pad.
3 The pan, crisper plate, and any
accessories can be washed in the
dishwasher.
4 If food residue is stuck on the crisper
plate or pan, place them in a sink filled
with warm, soapy water and allow to
soak.
5 Air-dry or towel-dry all parts after use.
HELPFUL TIPS
1 For consistent browning, make sure
ingredients are arranged in an even
layer on the bottom of the pan with
no overlapping. If ingredients are
overlapping, make sure to shake them
halfway through the set cook time.
2 Cook time and temperature can be
adjusted at any time during cooking.
Simply press the up and down TIME
or TEMP arrows to adjust the time or
temperature.
3 To convert recipes from your conventional
oven, reduce the temperature of the Air
Fryer by 10°C. Check food frequently to
avoid overcooking.
4 We recommend 3 minutes of preheating.
You can use the built-in timer to set a
3-minute countdown.
5 Occasionally, the fan from the air fryer
will blow lightweight foods around.
To alleviate this, secure foods (like
the top slice of bread on a sandwich)
with cocktail sticks.
6 The crisper plate elevates ingredients
in the pan so air can circulate under and
around them for even, crisp results.
7 After a cooking function is selected, you
can press the START/STOP button to
begin cooking immediately. The unit will
run at the default temperature and time.
8 For best results, remove food
immediately after the cook time is
complete to avoid overcooking.
9 For best results with fresh vegetables
and potatoes, use at least 1 tablespoon
of oil. Add more oil as desired to achieve
the preferred level of crispiness.
10 For best results, check progress
throughout cooking, and remove food
when desired level of brownness has
been achieved. We recommend using
an instant-read thermometer to monitor
internal temperature of foods. After the
cook time is complete, remove food
immediately to avoid overcooking.
NOTE: NEVER immerse the main unit in
water or any other liquid. NEVER clean
the main unit in a dishwasher.
TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
Why won’t the temperature go any higher?
The max temperature is 240˚C for Max Crisp. The max temperature is 200˚C for all
other functions.
How long does it take to preheat, and how will I know when it’s done?
We recommend 3 minutes of preheating. To preheat, select desired function and
temperature, set time to 3 minutes, and press Start/Stop
Should I add the ingredients before or after preheating?
For best results, let the unit preheat for 3 minutes before adding ingredients.
When should I use Max Crisp instead of Air Fry?
For best results, use Max Crisp when cooking prepackaged frozen foods such as french
fries or chicken nuggets.
Do I need to defrost frozen foods before air frying?
It depends on the food. Follow package instructions.
How do I pause the countdown?
The countdown timer will pause automatically when you remove the pan from the unit.
Pressing Start/Stop during cooking will stop the cooking function and reset the timer.
Is the pan safe to put on my worktop?
The pan will heat during cooking. Use caution when handling, and place
on heat-safe surfaces only.
How do I know when to use the crisper plate?
Use the crisper plate when you want food to come out crispy. The plate elevates the
food in the pan so that air can flow under it to cook ingredients evenly.
My food didn’t cook.
Make sure the pan is fully inserted during cooking. For consistent browning, make sure
ingredients are arranged in an even layer on the bottom of the pan with no overlapping.
Shake to toss loose ingredients for consistent crispiness. Cook time and temperature
can be adjusted at any time during cooking. Simply press the TIME or TEMP buttons
and rotate the dial.
My food is over-cooked.
For best results, check progress throughout cooking, and remove food when desired
level of brownness has been achieved. Remove food immediately after the cook time
is complete to avoid overcooking.
Why do some ingredients blow around when air frying?
Occasionally, the fan from the air fryer will blow lightweight foods around. Use
toothpicks to secure loose lightweight food, like the top slice on a sandwich.
Can I air fry fresh battered ingredients?
Yes, but use the proper breaded coating technique. It is important to coat foods first
with flour, then with egg, and then with bread crumbs. Be sure to press the bread
crumbs onto the food so they stick in place. Loose coating may be blown o by the
unit’s powerful fan.
Why is the unit beeping?
The cooking function is complete.
The screen went black.
The unit is in standby mode. Press the power button to turn it back on.
An “E” message appears on display screen.
The unit is not functioning properly. Please contact Customer Service at 0800 862 0453.
