This document serves as an instruction manual for the Rohnson Air Fryer, Model: R-2843, providing comprehensive guidance on its operation, maintenance, and safety.
Function Description
The Rohnson Air Fryer is a kitchen appliance designed for hot air frying, offering a healthier alternative to traditional deep frying by using hot air to cook ingredients. It features a basket and a frying rack to hold food, along with a basket handle for safe handling. The appliance is equipped with a touch screen display that shows time and temperature settings and offers 12 pre-set cooking functions. These functions include settings for Fish, Cake, Drumstick, Chips, Bacon, Pork chop, Chicken, Steak, Shrimp, Bread, Vegetable, and Heat preservation, allowing for versatile cooking options. Users can easily select a recipe by touching the corresponding icon. The air fryer also allows for manual adjustment of cooking time (1-60 minutes) and temperature (80-200°C) using dedicated adjustment icons. The appliance has an air inlet and air outlet openings to facilitate the hot air circulation necessary for frying. It operates with a mains cord and includes power cord storage for convenience. A built-in timer automatically shuts down the appliance when the countdown reaches zero, or it can be manually switched off by pressing the power button, after which it will shut down in 20 seconds.
Usage Features
Before first use, all packaging materials, stickers, and labels should be removed. The basket and rack should be cleaned with hot water, washing liquid, and a non-abrasive sponge. The interior and exterior of the appliance should be wiped with a clean cloth. The appliance works on hot air, so there is no need to fill the basket with oil or frying fat. To use the appliance, connect the mains plug to an earthed wall socket. Pull out the pan, place the rack into the basket, and then place the ingredients into the basket, ensuring not to exceed the MAX indication to maintain cooking quality. Slide the basket back into the air fryer.
After choosing a function from the 12 available options, touch the Power icon to start cooking. During hot air frying, the LED lamp will be running. If you wish to change to another cooking recipe or adjust the timer/temperature, you can press Pause, make the adjustments, and then press the button again to resume cooking. Some ingredients may require shaking halfway through the preparation time. To do this, pull the basket out by the handle, shake it, and then slide it back into the air fryer. The machine features an "Auto ready bell" that rings 5 times when the cooking cycle is finished. After the time ends, the heating element stops, but the fan continues to run for about 20 seconds to blow away hot air for safety. If ingredients are not ready, slide the basket back in, adjust temperature and time settings, and press the Start knob. To remove ingredients, especially those with excess oil, use tongs to pick them out one by one to avoid spilling oil. For ingredients without excess oil, turn off the basket and pour them into tableware. For large or fragile ingredients, tongs are recommended. The fryer is instantly ready for preparing another batch once one is complete.
The manual provides a detailed timetable for various ingredients, including French fries (thin, thick, homemade), potato gratin, steak, meat chops, hamburger, sausage roll, drumsticks, chicken breast, snacks (spring rolls, frozen chicken nuggets, frozen fish fingers, frozen bread crumbed, stuffed vegetables), cake, quiche, muffins, and sweet snacks. Each entry specifies the Min-Max weight (g), Time (Min), Temp °C, and whether shaking is required, along with remarks such as adding oil or using baking tin/oven dish. For homemade fries, specific steps are provided: peel and slice potatoes, wash and dry them, coat with olive oil, remove excess oil, and then fry according to instructions.
Maintenance Features
Cleaning the appliance after every use is crucial. Avoid using metal kitchen utensils or abrasive cleaning materials on the pan, basket, and inside of the appliance to prevent damage to the non-stick coating. Unplug the appliance and allow it to cool down thoroughly before cleaning; removing the basket can expedite cooling. The outside of the appliance should be wiped with a moist cloth. The basket and rack are dishwasher-proof and can also be cleaned with hot water, washing-up liquid, and a non-abrasive sponge. Degreasing liquid can be used for stubborn dirt. If dirt is stuck to the rack or the bottom of the basket, fill the basket with hot water and washing-up liquid, place the rack in the basket, and let them soak for about 10 minutes. The inside of the appliance should be cleaned with hot water and a non-abrasive sponge. The heating element can be cleaned with a cleaning brush to remove food residues.
For storage, unplug the appliance and let it cool completely. Ensure all parts are clean and dry before storing. The manual also includes a troubleshooting section to address common issues like the air fryer not working, ingredients not being done or fried unevenly, snacks not being crispy, or difficulty sliding the basket. Solutions range from checking the plug and pressing the start button to adjusting ingredient quantity, temperature, shaking ingredients, or using oven-ready snacks. It also explains that white smoke during operation can be due to greasy ingredients or grease residues from previous use, advising proper cleaning and potato preparation for optimal results.
The document concludes with important information regarding the correct disposal of the product in accordance with EC Directive 2012/19/EU, emphasizing that the product should not be disposed of as urban waste but taken to a special local authority differentiated waste collection center or a dealer providing this service.
