The San Ignacio Dual Basket Air Fryer (Ref. 52914, Model KS-A03) is an innovative hot air frying machine designed for preparing full meals quickly and efficiently. It features two chambers with two synchronized cooking zones, allowing for versatile cooking options.
Function Description:
The air fryer operates exclusively with hot air, making it suitable for grilling, baking, defrosting, warming up, and dehydrating food. It is not designed for preparing liquid dishes like soups, sauces, or stews, and no oil or fat should be poured directly into the device.
The control panel features several buttons and displays for easy operation:
- POWER Button: Turns the device on/off and exits all functions.
- TEMP Button: Increases or decreases the temperature.
- MEAL Button: Synchronizes the end of the cooking time for both cooking zones, allowing different dishes to finish simultaneously.
- DUAL Button: Applies all settings from cooking zone 1 to cooking zone 2, enabling the preparation of larger quantities of the same food or different foods with identical cooking settings.
- TIME Button: Increases or decreases the cooking time.
- START/STOP Button: Initiates or halts the cooking process.
- Buttons 1 and 2: Call up the setting mode for cooking zone 1 and cooking zone 2, respectively.
- Program Buttons (AIR FRY, ROAST, BAKE, DEHYDRATE, DEFROST, REHEAT): Accesses specific cooking programs.

General Usage Tips:
- Little to no oil (2-3 teaspoons) is generally needed.
- Light food pieces can be secured with toothpicks to prevent swirling.
- Cooking times are generally shorter than in conventional ovens; start with a shorter time and adjust as needed.
- Mix or turn food occasionally for even cooking.
- Check food condition periodically and switch off the device if cooked, even if the program hasn't finished.
- Preheating is not necessary.
- For dehydrating, spread one layer directly on the drawer bottom, then insert the rack and place a second layer on it.
- Do not overfill drawers (maximum 1/3 full) to ensure optimal hot air circulation.
- Avoid placing food wrapped in cling film or plastic bags directly into the device.
- Do not use the device for more than 4 hours continuously, except for the DEHYDRATE program.

Maintenance Features:
- Initial Use: Before first use, wipe the exterior with a damp cloth. Clean drawers and racks with detergent and warm water or in a dishwasher. Run the device empty on the highest temperature setting (DEFROST program) for about 10 minutes to burn off any coating residues, then clean it again.
- Regular Cleaning: Clean drawers and racks with detergent and warm water or in a dishwasher. Hand rinsing is preferred for longevity. For stubborn dirt, pre-soak in warm water and detergent. Wipe the exterior, chambers, and heating elements with a clean, damp cloth. Do not clean in a dishwasher or immerse the main unit in water.
- Allow all parts to dry completely before storage.
- Store the device in a clean, dry place, out of reach of children and animals, when not in prolonged use.
- Do not use sharp or abrasive cleaning agents or pads, as they may damage surfaces.
Troubleshooting:
- If the device does not work: Check if the plug is correctly inserted, try another socket, or check the mains fuse.
- If drawers are not inserted correctly: Slide them fully into the chamber.
- If the fuse trips: Reduce the number of devices on the same circuit.
- If food is not cooked evenly: Reduce food quantity (max 1/3 full) and spread/mix food.
- If different foods with different cooking times/temperatures are in one drawer: Separate them into both drawers and use the MEAL function.
- If cooking time/temperature was too short: Increase them.
- If fresh chips are not crispy: Potatoes may contain too much water; cut thinner, dry, and lightly oil them before spreading on the rack.
- If an unpleasant smell or smoke occurs: The device might be dirty (follow cleaning instructions) or it's the first use (smell should dissipate after several uses).
- If there's too much oil/fat: Remove the excess.
