Before First Use:
Read all instructions and safety information carefully before first use. Please retain this
information for future reference. If the appliance is given to someone else, it should always
be accompanied by these operating instructions. As they form an integral part of the
appliance.
1. Remove your appliance from the packaging.
2. Check that there is no damage to the cord or any visible
damage to the body.
3. Dispose of the packaging in a responsible manner.
4. Remove any stickers or labels from the appliance. DO NOT
remove the rating plate or any warning labels.

will disappear after use.
7
Using Your Appliance.
Notes:
Select the appropriate accessories.
Use oven gloves to take out the accessories, containers etc. once cooking has finished.
Always put the oil drip tray in the lowest position for gathering oil from fried food.
DO NOT let food exceed the highest position. Bear in mind that the ingredients may
expand during heating.
Using the Accessories:
Oil Drip Tray
Slide the oil drip tray into the bottom of the oven, along the grooves on either side of the
oven walls so that any dripping fat, crumbs or other food residues can be collected in it.
Air Flow Rack
The racks are intended for drying. However, they can also be used for crisping, warming up
etc.
Slide the air flow racks into the oven cavity along the guides on either side of the oven
walls. The heating element is located at the top of the cooking space. Therefore the higher
up a baking rack is placed, the more intense the heat is from above.
In the top section, the food is cooked faster and crispier. The middle position should be
chosen to achieve even heating from all sides. The bottom rails are suitable for gentle
cooking.
Skewer Rack
Assemble the skewer rack.
1. Place the skewer rack discs onto the shaft, ensuring the flat faces of the discs face
inwards.
2. Thread food onto the separate skewers and place onto the skewer rack by slotting the
sharp end of the skewer into the narrow slot and the hooked end of the skewer into
the shaped slots. Squeeze and tilt the hook downwards to lock into place.
3. Place the rack into the oven. Insert the shaft end with just one notch into the holder
on the right side of the oven walls. Push into the holder as far as it will go.
4. Hang the other end of the shaft (with two notches) into the support on the left-hand
side of the oven.
5. Check that the rack fits securely. It must not be able to rotate about its own axis
when the device is switched off. If this is not the case, plug the right-hand end of the
shaft deeper into the holder.
6. After use, remove the rack using the removal tool (see the ‘Removal Tool’ section).
Always use oven gloves to remove the rack and the grilled items. Squeeze and tilt the
hook upwards to remove the skewers from the rack.
8
Frying Basket
The rotating basket, turns during cooking to ensure that the food crisps on all sides. The
rotating basket is particularly suitable for preparing chips or other potato products, small
pieces of vegetables and meat as well as frozen products, e.g. chicken nuggets or squid
rings.
1. Place the shaft through the basket so that the shaft end with one notch exits the side
of the basket with the L shaped metal attachment.
2. Open the rotating basket.
3. To ensure food is cooked evenly fill the rotating basket no more than ¾ full with food.
4. Close the basket, ensuring that the catch is shut, so that the basket does not open
during use.
5. Insert the right-hand side of the rotating basket (with the L shaped metal attachment
and the shaft end with just one notch) into the holder on the right side of the oven
walls. Push into the holder as far as it will go.
6. Hang the other end of the shaft (with two notches) into the support on the left-hand
side of the cooking space.
7. Check that the rotating basket fits securely. It must not be able to rotate about its
own axis when the device is switched off. If this is not the case, plug the right-hand
end of the shaft deeper into the holder.
After use, remove the hot rotating basket from the cooking space using the removal tool
(see the ‘Removal Tool’ section). Always use oven gloves to open and empty the rotating
basket.
Rotating Spit - Rotisserie
The rotisserie function can help cook food more evenly.
The rotating spit consists of the shaft and two rotating spit forks. The rotating spit is
suitable for grilling large pieces of meat, e.g. chicken, pork.
Assemble the rotating spit and insert it into the appliance:
1. Slide one of the rotating spit forks (sharp prongs facing inwards) onto the shaft and
lock it with the locking screw. The shaft contains a small round notch for the tip of
the locking screw. In the case of smaller pieces of food, the rotating spit forks can be
secured more centrally on the shaft.
2. Slide the food for grilling onto the rotating spit fork.
3. Slide the other rotating spit fork (sharp prongs facing inwards) onto the shaft and
food and lock it with the locking screw.
4. Plug the end of the shaft with one notch into the round holder on the right-hand
side of the cooking space. Then hang the other end of the shaft, with two notches,
into the support on the left-hand side of the cooking space.
5. Check that it fits securely. The rotating spit must not be able to rotate about its own
axis when the device is switched off. If this is not the case, plug the left-hand end of
the shaft deeper into the holder.
6. After use, remove the hot rotating spit using the removal tool (see the ‘Removal Tool’
section). Always use oven gloves to remove the rotating spit forks and take off the
grilled items.
9
Notes:
The total weight of a chicken should not exceed 2.7lb as during rotation the chicken will
catch the bottom of the oil drip tray. For chickens greater than this weight use the frying
basket.
Tie the legs and wings to keep in position.
As the meat on the chicken legs is thicker and the heat is difficult to penetrate, it is
recommended to pierce the skin in several places.
Removal Tool - Frying Basket/ Rotisserie Fork/ Skewer Rack
Use the removal tool to remove the frying basket, rotisserie or skewers from the oven.
1. Place the ends of the removal tool under the shaft.
2. First lift up the left-hand side of the shaft and move it forwards a little until the right
end of the shaft is released from the holder.
3. Carefully lift the rotating basket, spit or skewers out of the cooking space and place
down on a heat-resistant surface.
Operating instructions:
1. Plug the appliance into the mains outlet.
2. Turn the TIME and TEMP control dials away from OFF to commence operation. Time
options are from 10-60min and Temperature options from 100-220ºC.
The TEMP light will illuminate GREEN. The TIME light will illuminate RED. Both control
dials need to be at a setting and the lights illuminated for the appliance to operate.
Below is a suggested cooking guide:
Note: The temperatures and cooking times are guidelines and should be adjusted if
necessary. As the ingredients differ due to their origin, size, shape and quality, the actual

when they come out of the
air fryer.
Wrong type of snacks
used.
Use oven snacks or lightly brush some oil onto
the snacks for a crispier result.
The fryer contains grease
from previous use.
White smoke is caused by grease heating up
inside the fryer. Make sure you clean the fryer
properly after each use.
The fried food is not done.
Too much food has been
added to the air fryer.
Put smaller batches of food in the air fryer.
Smaller batches are fried more evenly.

temperature setting.
(refer to the ‘Settings Table).
The food hasn’t been
cooked for long enough.
Set unit to the required cooking time (refer to
the ‘Settings Table).
Fresh fries are fried
unevenly in the air fryer.
Wrong type of potatoes
used.
Use fresh potatoes and make sure they stay
firm during frying.
The potato sticks were
not rinsed adequately
before frying
Rinse the potato sticks properly to remove
starch from the outside.
Fresh fries are not crispy
when they come out of the
air fryer.
The crispiness of the fries
depends on the amount
