Need help?Do you have a question about the Secura GLA-717 and is the answer not in the manual?
This document is an instruction manual for an "AIR COOKER (OIL FREE FRYER)" with model number GLA-717, designed for household use. It emphasizes an "Easy & good life" and advises users to carefully read the manual before using the product and keep it for future reference.
The air cooker is designed to fry food using hot air, making it an "oil free fryer." This means it does not require oil or frying fat to operate, contributing to healthier cooking. The appliance features a fry basket and a fry pot, which are the main components for holding food during the cooking process. It includes a handle bar for easy manipulation of the fry pot and basket. The control panel on the upper cover houses a temperature controller and a timer, allowing users to set precise cooking parameters. An indicator light provides visual feedback during operation. Air inlets and outlets are present to facilitate the hot air circulation necessary for frying.
Before the first use, all packaging material, stickers, and labels must be removed. The basket and pan should be thoroughly cleaned with hot water, washing-up liquid, and a non-abrasive sponge. The inside and outside of the appliance should be wiped with a moist cloth. It's crucial to place the appliance on a stable, horizontal, and level surface that is heat-resistant, ensuring good air circulation and keeping it away from hot surfaces and combustible materials. The fry basket must be properly placed in the pan until a "tang" sound is heard, and then the pan should be slid back into the appliance. A key safety instruction is never to fill the pan with oil or frying fat, as the appliance works on hot air. Additionally, nothing should be placed on top of the appliance, as this can disrupt airflow and affect frying results.
To use the air cooker, first, plug it into an earthed wall socket. The temperature controller knob should be turned to the desired temperature, and the timer set to 3 minutes for preheating. Once preheating is complete, the fry pot can be carefully pulled out, and ingredients placed inside the fry basket, ensuring not to exceed the maximum line. The fry basket must always be used with the pan. Users are warned not to touch the pan during or immediately after use due to high temperatures; only the handle should be used. After placing the food, the pan is slid back into the appliance, and the timer is set for the appropriate cooking time. The appliance will then begin to work. When the timer bell rings, indicating the end of the cooking time, the pot should be pulled out and placed on a heat-resistant surface. If the ingredients are not ready, the pan can be slid back in, and the timer set for a few extra minutes. For crispy results, a thin layer of oil can be added to the ingredients. Shaking the ingredients halfway through the cooking process is recommended to optimize results and prevent uneven frying. This is done by pulling the pan out by the handle, shaking it, and then sliding it back in, without pressing the basket release button. Once ingredients are ready, the pan is pulled out, the basket release button pressed, and the basket lifted out to remove the food. It's important not to turn the basket upside down with the pan still attached, as any collected oil could leak onto the ingredients. The appliance is immediately ready for another batch of ingredients.
Maintenance involves several steps to ensure the longevity and safe operation of the air cooker. Before cleaning, the timer should be turned to 0, the appliance unplugged, and allowed to cool down completely. The device is not dishwasher proof and should never be immersed in water or any other liquid. The surface of the fryer pot and basket should be cleaned with hot water, washing-up liquid, and a non-abrasive sponge. If dirt is stuck, the pan can be filled with hot water and washing-up liquid, and the basket placed inside to soak for about 10 minutes. The exterior surface of the fryer should be wiped with a damp cloth. Harsh and abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or steel wool should never be used, as they can damage the device. If the appliance will not be used for an extended period, it should be cleaned and stored in a cool, dry place.
The manual also includes important security warnings. The appliance should only be used with a 120V AC power supply and an exclusive outlet above 15A, connected to a properly grounded power socket to prevent electric shock, fire, and other accidents. The plug must be kept clean. The power cord should not be damaged, strongly pulled, twisted, used to carry heavy loads, transformed, or allowed to hang over table edges or touch hot surfaces. Damaged power cords must be repaired by professional maintenance staff. Plugging or unplugging with wet hands is prohibited. The plug must be inserted tightly to avoid electric shock, short circuits, smoking, sparking, and other dangers. The appliance, body, cord, or plug should not be immersed in water or other liquids. It should not be placed in the presence of explosive and/or flammable fumes or materials like tablecloths or curtains. The appliance must be used on a heat-resistant and even surface, at least 30cm away from walls, furniture, or other flammables. It is intended for household use only and should not be used for other purposes. Children should not be allowed to play with the socket or plug, and close supervision is necessary when children are near the appliance. Individuals with physical or mental disabilities or those lacking knowledge of the appliance must be guided by experienced persons responsible for their safety. The appliance should be kept away from children to prevent scalding, electric shock, or other injuries.
Troubleshooting tips are provided for common issues. If the appliance does not work, the power cord might not be inserted, or the timer might not be set. Solutions include inserting the power cord into a grounded socket and setting the timer. If food is rare after the set time, it could be due to too much food in the basket, a low temperature setting, or a short cooking time. Solutions involve frying in turns, setting an appropriate temperature, or extending the cooking time. If food is not fried evenly, certain foods may need to be shaken during cooking. The solution is to pull out the pot, shake the food to separate overlapped materials, and then continue cooking. If fried food is not crisp, some food materials may need a thin layer of oil applied before frying. If the pot cannot be smoothly pushed back, it might be due to too many food materials, incorrect basket placement, or a stuck handle bar. Solutions include ensuring food does not exceed the max line, pressing the basket into the pot, or placing the handle bar in a horizontal position. Smoking is noted as a normal phenomenon if frying oily food, but if the fryer contains oil from last use, it should be cleaned.
Finally, the manual includes a "Correct Disposal of this appliance" section, indicated by a crossed-out wheeled bin symbol. This marking signifies that the appliance should not be disposed of with other household waste. Instead, it should be recycled responsibly to promote the sustainable reuse of material resources and prevent harm to the environment and human health from uncontrolled waste disposal.
