Before First Use

Remove your appliance from the packaging.
Check that there is no damage to the cord or any visible damage to the body.
Your appliance is now ready for normal use.
Dispose of the packaging in a responsible manner.
The Air Fryer uses hot air technology. Never pour oil or fat into the fryer.

Using Your Appliance

Automatic Switch Off:

This Tower Air Fryer has a built in timer, which will automatically shut down the Air Fryer when the timer reaches zero. You can manually switch off the Air Fryer by turning the temperature and timer knob anti-clockwise to zero.

Air Fryer Drawer Safety Switch:

For your safety, this Air Fryer contains a safety switch in the drawer designed to keep if from accidentally turning on when the drawer is not properly situated inside the appliance and the timer is not set. Before using the air fryer, please ensure that the drawer is fully closed and that the cooking timer has been set.

Removing the Drawer:

The frying drawer can be removed fully from the Air Fryer.
Pull on the handle to slide the drawer out of the Air Fryer.
Lift the frying drawer upwards to remove it from the fryer.

Preparing For Use:

Place the appliance on a stable, horizontal and even surface. Do not place the appliance on a non-heat-resistant surface.
Do not fill the drawer with oil or any other liquid.
Pre-heat the Air Fryer for 3 minutes when it is cold. After warming up, carefully pull the drawer out of the Air Fryer. The Air Fryer will stop heating after the drawer is pulled out.
Place the ingredients into the frying drawer, then place the drawer back into the Air Fryer.
Select the correct timings and temperature for the ingredients. Consult the reference table below to determine the correct temperature.
To start the Air Fryer, turn the timer dial to the required time. Note: If the Air Fryer has not been pre-heated, add 3 minutes onto the required time setting.
The power light and heat indicator light will come on, and the timer will begin counting down the set cooking time.
During the cooking process the heat indicator light will cycle on and off as it maintains the set temperature.
Some ingredients may require shaking in the drawer during cooking. Check the reference table for additional notes on this. To shake ingredients during cooking, pull the drawer out of the Air Fryer using the handle. CAUTION: Do not press the button on the handle during shaking.
When cooking is finished, the timer bell will ring. Pull the drawer out of the Air Fryer using the handle and place it on a heat-resistant surface.
If the food is ready, serve. To remove small ingredients (e.g. fries), pull out the drawer by the handle, lift it out of the fryer and pour. Lift large or fragile ingredients out of the drawer using a pair of tongs.
If the food is not quite cooked enough, simply put the drawer back into the Air Fryer and set the timer for a few extra minutes.

Timer: The Air Fryer has a 30 minute manual timer with a bell. Turn the dial to set the required cooking time. When the cooking time has elapsed, a bell will sound to indicate that the cooking has finished.

Settings: The table on the next page will help you select the basic settings for a variety of common 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, pulling the drawer briefly out of the appliance 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.
Shake the ingredients halfway through cooking time to optimise the end result. This can help prevent unevenly fried ingredients.
Be cautious of using greasy foods such as sausages in the Air Fryer.
Any snacks that can be cooked in a conventional oven can also be cooked in the Air Fryer.
You can use your Tower Air Fryer to easily reheat food. To do this, simply set the temperature to 150°C for up to 10 minutes.

Note: The Air Fryer uses hot air heating technology. Never pour oil or fat into the fryer.

Tips:

Try soaking your raw cut fries in cold water for 30 minutes. Dry the fries thoroughly before putting them in the Air Fryer.
Be careful not to overfill the Air Fryer drawer with food.
For a great, even brown crisp, toss your fries multiple times during cooking.
Remove the fries quickly once the cooking process is complete to ensure they stay crispy
Thinly slice and separate onions.
Cut all vegetables into small pieces to make sure they cook properly

Troubleshooting

1. How long should I leave the Air Fryer to cool before storing it?

We recommend leaving the Air Fryer to cool for 30-45 minutes before storing.

2. My homemade fries are not crispy enough.

Ensure that the fries are completely dry before adding oil to them and putting them in the Air Fryer.
Try cutting the potatoes into thinner, smaller fries and adding slightly more oil for a crispier result.

3. The drawer will not fit in place correctly.

You may have placed too many ingredients in the drawer. Make sure you do not fill the drawer beyond the maximum fill line.

4. How big is the Air Fryer pot?

The Air Fryer pot has a 2.2 litre capacity.

5.My food has not cooked uniformly.

The food may not be cut uniformly. Make sure everything is cut to the same shape and size for even cooking.

6. How much cooking oil do I need to use?

Frozen part fried foods require no added oils. You only need to add ½ - 1 tbsp. of oil for other foods.

7. White smoke is coming out of the Air Fryer.

This is normal if you are preparing greasy ingredients, because a large amount of oil leaks into the drawer. This does not affect the appliance or the end result.

8. The Air Fryer will not turn on after it’s been plugged in.

For your safety, this Air Fryer contains a safety switch designed to keep it from accidentally turning on when the drawer is not properly situated inside the appliance and when the timer is not set. Before using the Air Fryer, please ensure that the drawer is inside of the appliance, and that it is fully closed once the cooking timer has been set.
