Using Your Kambrook Air Frying Oven

Before First Use

Remove and safely discard any packaging material and promotional labels before using the air frying oven for the first time.

The air outlet cover will come disassembled, placed in the air frying oven basket. Ensure it is correctly fitted on the rear of the unit before use (See Fig. 1).

WARNING: Do not operate the air frying oven without the air outlet cover in place.

Thoroughly clean the basket and pan with warm soapy water and a non-abrasive, soft scouring pad.

Wipe the outside of the air frying oven with a damp cloth.

Place the air frying oven on a flat, level surface with the basket and pan in.

Operating Your Air frying oven

1. Place the basket into the pan and lock into place. (See Fig. 2)

2. Insert the plug into a 230V or 240V power outlet and turn the power on.

3. Place food in the basket and slide the pan back into the air frying oven until you hear a “click” sound (See Fig. 3).

NOTE: Never fill the basket with food beyond the 'MAX' indication.

4. Turn the temperature control dial to the required temperature.

5. Turn the timer dial to the required cooking time. Both the 'POWER' and 'HEATING' lights will illuminate and cooking will start. Once the selected temperature has been reached, the 'HEATING' light will switch off but will then cycle on and off throughout the cooking process as it maintains the selected temperature.

6. Some food may require shaking or turning throughout the cooking time to ensure even results. Simply pull the pan out of the air frying oven by the handle and shake. Heating will suspend while the pan is removed, however the timer will continue to countdown. Slide the pan back into the air frying oven and heating will recommence.

NOTE: Use insulated oven mitts when touching hot surfaces.

HINT: Heavier food items filled to the 'MAX' line may not have enough room to shift effectively by shaking. It may be helpful to also turn the food with a heatresistant utensil at least once during the cooking process for more even results.

7. When the timer dings, both 'POWER' and 'HEATING lights will switch off. Pull the pan out of the air frying oven and place it on a heat-resistant surface. Check if the food is ready.

NOTE: If food is not entirely cooked, slide the pan back into the air frying oven and set the timer for a few more minutes.

NOTE: You can switch off the air frying oven manually. To do so, turn the timer control dial to 'OFF'.

8. Open the safety cover and press the basket release button. Lift the basket out of the pan (See Fig. 4).

NOTE: Always place the pan on a heat-resistant flat surface. Hold the pan by the handle and press the basket release button to remove the basket from the pan.

NOTE: Be careful of hot steam and air when you remove the pan from the air frying oven. The pan and food are hot after operation. Depending on the type of food in the air frying oven, steam may escape from the pan.

NOTE: Do not touch the pan for some time after use as it is very hot. Only hold the pan by the handle.

9. Remove food from the basket and empty the pan of excess cooking oil once cool.

NOTE: Excess oil from cooking food will be collected at the bottom of the pan.

NOTE: Do not turn the basket upside down with the pan still attached to it as any excess oil that has collected on the bottom of the pan will leak onto food.

Cooking Table

The cooking times given are a guide only and should be adjusted to suit the quantity of food being air fried.

*Cooking results may vary depending on the brand used.

**If the cooking time takes more than 30 minutes, set the timer dial to 30 minutes and let cook until the timer dings. Reset the timer immediately to the remaining cooking time.

WARNING: Do not insert over-sized food into the air frying oven as it creates a risk of fire or electric shock.

NOTE: Always wear protective, insulated oven mitts when inserting, removing or handling items from the air frying oven.

TIP: If baking ingredients that contain rising agents, the baking tin should not be filled more than 2 ⁄3.

NOTE: You can preheat the air frying oven. To do so, turn the timer dial to 5 minutes and wait until the ‘HEATING’ light turns itself off. Fill the basket with food and turn the timer dial to required cooking time. If using the air frying oven cold, add 3 minutes to the cooking time.

Handy Hints for Air Frying

• Shaking ingredients two to three times during longer cooking times, but at least once during cooking optimises the end result and can help prevent uneven cooking.
• Add some oil to fresh potatoes before placing in basket for a crispier result.
• Do not cook overly greasy foods such as sausages in the air frying oven.
• Most snacks that can be cooked in an oven can also be cooked in the air frying oven.
• Pre-made dough requires a shorter cooking time than homemade dough.
• The air frying oven can also be used to reheat food. To reheat food, simply set the temperature to 150°C and cook for up to 10 minutes.
• For easy cleaning, line the bottom of the pan with aluminium foil before inserting the basket.
• Using a heat-resistant utensil such as tongs to stir food instead of shaking may be easier to turn some food types.
• The maximum size tin the air frying oven basket can fit: rectangle 12cm x 17cm or round 15cm diameter.
• For baking, small baking tins that fit the air frying oven basket can be purchased from most homecare stores. Refer below examples (See Fig.5).

DIMENSIONS: Square: 7.5cmx7.5cm, Heart: 10cmx10cm, Bundt: 11cm diameter.

Care, Cleaning and Storage

Cleaning

Clean the air frying oven after every use.

NOTE: Do not use metal kitchen utensils or abrasive cleaning materials to clean the pan and the basket as this may damage the non-stick coating on the pan and the basket.

Before cleaning, ensure the air frying oven is turned OFF and switched off at the power outlet then unplugged from the outlet. Allow the air frying oven to cool completely.

NOTE: Remove the pan to allow the air frying oven to cool faster.

Soak the pan and basket in hot soapy water for approximately 10 minutes before cleaning so it is easier to wash.

Clean the pan and basket with hot soapy water and a non-abrasive, soft scouring pad or sponge.

NOTE: Do not place any part of the air frying oven in the dishwasher.

Wipe the inside and outside of the air frying oven with a soft damp cloth.

NOTE: Always ensure that the basket and pan are thoroughly dried after cleaning and are reinserted into position before operating the air frying oven.

Storage

Switch the air frying oven off at the power point and unplug the power cord from the power point. Allow to cool completely.

Follow cleaning instructions and ensure air frying oven is completely dry.

Wrap the power cord around the cord storage area underneath the air frying oven. Store the air frying oven on a flat, dry level surface. Do not place anything on top of the air frying oven.
