GRILLING TIPS:
There is an art to determining when your
steak, lamb chop or cutlet is cooked to
the correct degree of doneness - rare,
medium rare, medium, medium well or
well done - but it is easily mastered with
these handy hints and tips.
Rare: Cook for a few minutes per side,
depending on thickness. Turn once
only. Cook until the steak feels very
soft with the back of the tongs. A meat
thermometer will show the internal
temperature of a rare steak as 55-60°C /
130-140°F.
Medium rare: Cook on one side until
moisture is just visible on top surface. Turn
once only. Cook on the other side until
the surface moisture is visible. The steak
will be cooked to medium rare when it
feels soft with the back of the tongs. A
meat thermometer will show the internal
temperature of a medium rare steak as
60-65°C / 140-150°F.
Medium: Cook on one side until moisture
is pooling on the top surface. Turn once
only. Cook on the second side until
moisture is visible. The steak will be
cooked to medium when it feels springy
with the back of the tongs.
A meat thermometer will show the
internal temperature of a medium steak as
65-70°C / 150-160°F.
Medium well: Cook on one side until
moisture is pooling on top surface.
Turn and cook on the second side until
moisture is pooling on top. Reduce heat
slightly and continue to cook until the
steak feels firm with the back of the
tongs. A meat thermometer will show the
internal temperature of a medium well
steak as 70-75°C / 160-170°F.
Well done: Cook on one side until
moisture is pooling on top surface.
Turn and cook on the second side until
moisture is pooling on top. Reduce heat
slightly and continue to cook until the
steak feels very firm with the back of the
tongs. A meat thermometer will show the
internal temperature of a well done steak
as 75°C / 170°F.

AIR-FRYING TIPS:
• If the food is cold, increase the
cooking time by a few extra minutes.
• To remove large or fragile ingredients,
lift the ingredients out of the inner
pot with a pair of tongs.
• The cooking time will depend on the
size of your ingredients. Smaller sizes
may require a shorter cooking time.
• Shaking smaller ingredients and
turning food halfway during the
cooking time optimises the end result
and can help prevent unevenly fried
ingredients.
• For perfectly fluffy fries, it is
recommended that potatoes be
parboiled before frying.
• Add some oil to fresh potatoes for a
crispy result. Fry your ingredients in
the air fryer within a few minutes after
you added the oil.
• Be cautious of using extremely greasy
foods.
• Snacks that can be prepared in an
oven can also be prepared in the unit.
• Use pre-made dough to prepare filled
snacks quickly and easily. Pre-made
dough also requires a shorter cooking
time than home-made dough.
• When battering items, ensure they
are battered in the correct order,
so that they do not fall apart while
crisping or frying. Items should be
first be coated in flour, then butter or
egg, and finally breadcrumbs.
• The table on page 17 offers reference
times and quantities for frying a
variety of popular ingredients:

THE TEMP ACE FUNCTIONALITY
This unit is equipped with a smart Temp
ACE function, which automatically detects
the ideal cooking temperature for each
ingredient with the help of a temperature
probe.
To use the Temp ACE function, begin
choosing the desired cooking mode. To do
this, press the corresponding key on the
unit’s control panel.
Once the correct settings have been
programmed, plug the temperature probe
into the corresponding socket on the
right-hand side of the control panel, taking
care to ensure the cord is not kinked, as
shown in the illustration below.
NOTE: Take care to ensure the
temperature probe is correctly installed,
as detailed in the section above and
diagram opposite, before selecting the
Temp ACE function. If the probe is not in
place, the unit will display the text ‘Plug
In’ on the LED screen until the plug is
connected to the unit.
Once the temperature probe is connected
to the unit, press the Temp ACE key, then
use the Temperature selection panel to
select the desired cooking temperature.
