2. Pull the cord from the storage compartment located at the bottom of the appliance.
3. Do not fill the fryer with oil or any other liquid.
4. Do not put anything on top of the appliance, as this will disrupt the airflow and the hot air frying will be affected as a result
Air Frying:
1. Connect the mains plug into an earthed wall socket.
2. Open the air fryer door.
3. Put the ingredients into the air fryer.
4. Close the air fryer door. The fryer will give off a beeping sound and all the indicators will light up momentarily.

Note: If no keys are pressed or selections made after the control panel is lit, the air fryer will automatically go into standby mode after 90 seconds of inactivity
6. Determine the required preparation time for your desired ingredients (refer to the ‘Settings’ section below). Use the keys to adjust the cooking time accordingly. The time will increase or decrease in increments of 1 minute, from 0 up to 60 minutes
Note: Preparation times can be changed or adjusted even while the air fryer is in operation.
7. Adjust to the required temperature. Refer to the ‘Settings’ section in this chapter to learn how to determine the right temperature. Use the keys to adjust the temperature accordingly. The temperature will increase or decrease in increments of 5 degrees, from 30 up to 200 degrees.
Note: The temperature can be adjusted or changed at any time, even while the air fryer is in operation.
8. Once the correct time and temperature have been set, press thekey. The electric heating tube and fan will begin to work, the and indicators will illuminate and the timer will begin counting down the remaining cooking time
Note: Press the key again while the fryer is in operation to pause the cooking cycle. The fan and electric tube will stop working and the corresponding indicators in the touch control panel will go out to indicate operation has been paused. Press this key again while the air fryer is in this state to resume cooking.
Note: If the door is opened during cooking, the screen and power light will go off, and the heating tube and fan will stop working. When the door is closed again, the air fryer will resume operation in its latest settings. The cooking time countdown will not be affected, as the air fryer has a memory backup of up to 2 hours.
Note: During the frying process, food will get very hot and steam may escape from the air fryer.
9. When the set preparation time has elapsed, the fryer will emit a series of beeps, the screen will display ‘00’, and the screen and the indicator will begin to flash
Note: You can also switch the appliance off manually by reducing the temperature to zero.
10. Check if the ingredients are ready. If the ingredients are not ready yet, simply place your food back into the fryer, close the door, then set the timer to a few extra minutes.
11. To remove ingredients (e.g. fries), open the air fryer door and pull out the food using the insulated kitchen gloves or other suitable safety accessory such as tongs.
12. When a batch of ingredients is ready, the air fryer is instantly ready for preparing another batch.
Auto-Cook Menus
This air fryer is equipped with 8 auto-cook menus, pre-programmed with the ideal settings to fit some of the most commonly air-fried meals. When one of these menus is selected, the air fryer will automatically default to that program’s pre-set temperature and time, and operate accordingly. Each of these can be accessed by pressing the corresponding key in the unit’s control panel. The corresponding indicator will light up to show each menu has been selected.
The full list of auto-cook menus is as follows:
Fries. When this mode is selected, the screen will display “200” - “20”, for temperature and cooking time respectively. | Steak. When this mode is selected, the screen will display “180” - “20”, for temperature and cooking time respectively | Chicken Legs. When this mode is selected, the screen will display “180” - “35”, for temperature and cooking time respectively. | Fish. When this mode is selected, the screen will display “180”- ”18”, for temperature and cooking time respectively |
Shrimp. When this mode is selected, the screen will display “160” - “12”, for temperature and cooking time respectively. | Roast Chicken. When this mode is selected, the screen will display “200” - “35”, for temperature and cooking time respectively. | BBQ Rotisserie. When this mode is selected, the screen will display “200” - “20”, for temperature and cooking time respectively | Dried Fruit. When this mode is selected, the screen will display “40” - “04:00”, for temperature and cooking time respectively |
Turning the Light On and Off:
Press the key to turn the air fryer’s inner light On or Off at any time
Note: During the cooking cycle, the fryer’s inner light will turn on or off automatically.
Settings: The table on the next page will help you to select the basic settings for the ingredients.
Note: Keep in mind that these settings are indications, as ingredients differ in origin, size, shape and brand, we cannot guarantee the best settings for your ingredients. Because the Rapid Air technology instantly reheats the air inside the appliance instantly, opening the door briefly during hot air frying barely disturbs the process.
Tips:
- The preparation time will depend on the size of your ingredients. Smaller sizes may require a shorter cooking time.
- Add some oil to fresh potatoes for a crispy result. Fry your ingredients in the Hot-air fryer within a few minutes after you added the oil.
- Be cautious of using extremely greasy ingredients such as sausages in the air fryer.
- Snacks that can be prepared in an oven can also be prepared in the air fryer.
- The optimal amount for preparing crispy fries is 700 grams.
- Use pre-made dough to prepare filled snacks quickly and easily. Pre-made dough also requires a shorter preparation time than home-made dough.
- Place a baking tin or oven dish if you want to bake a cake or quiche, or if you want to fry fragile ingredients or filled ingredients.
- You can also use the air fryer to reheat ingredients. To reheat ingredients, set the temperature to 150°C for up to 10 minutes.

Using the accessories:
This air fryer comes complete with a range of accessories:
- Drip tray, to help collect fat and drippings for easy cleaning.
- Air flow racks, suitable for dehydrating, crisping or reheating food items.
- Roasting spit, for use with roast meat or fish.
- Handle, for safely retrieving the above accessories from the fryer after cooking.
Assembling the Roasting Spit:
1. To assemble the roasting spit, first slide the shaft through the corresponding slots on either of the roasting forks, so that the forks are on the inside of the shaft.
2. Retrieve the two small keys provided with the unit and thread each of them through its corresponding hole on the spit forks. Rotate each key clockwise to tighten it and secure the forks to the main body of the shaft.
3. Once you have loosened each of the two keys, slot the spit shaft into the recessed gear notch on the left-hand side of the oven cavity and the locating bracket on the right-hand side, ensuring it is pushed in all the way. When it has been correctly fitted to the gear and bracket,, insert the keys back into each of their respective slots and turn them clockwise to tighten them and secure the shaft into place.
4. Your roasting spit is now ready for use.
Using the Roasting Spit:
To use the roasting spit, align the two nuts on either side of the spit shaft with the two recessed notches on the inside of the fryer cavity, and push it as far back as it will go. Once the spit has been pushed all the way back, slide the nut on the lefthand side of the wall into the corresponding slot on the body of the fryer.
Note: Ensure the shaft nut is pushed all the way into the gear slot and that no part of it is visible to the naked eye; otherwise the spit will not rotate.
- Once you have installed the spit, press the key in the unit’s control panel to activate the rotation function. If the spit has been installed correctly, it will begin to rotate.
- f the spit does not begin to rotate once the button has been pressed, pull it out of the air fryer and repeat the steps detailed above, taking care to ensure the shaft nut is pushed all the way into the slot on the body of the fryer.
