allowing for different foods to be cooked
simultaneously with different cooking
times and temperatures, while still
being ready at the same time.

COOKING WITH BOTH
DRAWERS:
This unit offers a choice of two functions
when cooking with both drawers
simultaneously. The ‘Meal’ function allows
you to cook separate ingredients on each
drawer so that they are ready at the same
time, while the ‘Dual’ function lets you set
both drawers of the air fryer on the same
settings, allowing for larger batch cooking.
COOKING SEPARATE
INGREDIENTS–THE‘MEAL’
FUNCTION:
1. To use either drawer of the air fryer
on separate time and temperature
settings, press the ‘Meal’ button
on the unit’s control panel. The
corresponding indicator will
illuminate to show this function has
been selected.
2. Once the ‘Meal’ function is selected,
press the ‘1’ button on the unit’s
control panel to select and set one of
the unit’s pre-set menus for the rst
drawer. Refer to the ‘Pre-set Menus’
section of this instruction manual for
guidance on how to select a pre-set
menu directly from the unit’s control
panel. The LED screen will display the
default temperature for the selected
setting.
NOTE: After a pre-set has been selected,
the default cooking time and temperature
settings can be adjusted manually to suit
individual preference. Refer to the ‘Setting
the Temperature’ and ‘Setting the Timer’
sections of this instruction manual for
guidance on how to select and set the
required time and temperature.
3. Once the required settings have
been selected on the rst drawer,
press the ‘2’ button to move on to
programming the second drawer. The
left-hand side of the unit’s LED display
will show the cooking time for the
selected pre-set, and the right-hand
side will display ’00:00’.
13
USING YOUR AIR FRYER
4. Repeat the process detailed above
to select a pre-set menu and adjust
cooking settings for the second
drawer. When the required settings
have been selected, press the Start/
Stop button to start the cooking
process. The unit will begin to cook
the food inside each drawer on the
selected setting for that drawer, and
make the necessary adjustments
to ensure the pre-set programs for
each drawer nish simultaneously,
so you can enjoy a fully cooked meal
straight away. For example, if one of
the pre-sets has a shorter cooking
time than the other, the unit will delay
the start of the shorter program until
the longer program has reached
the appropriate stage in its cooking
process; for instance, if the program
in drawer 1 has a cooking time of six
minutes, and the program in drawer 2
has a cooking time of 20 minutes, the
unit will delay the start of the cooking
process for drawer 1 by 14 minutes, so
that the two programs conclude at
the same time.
NOTE: When a program is on hold, the
LED display on the corresponding side of
the unit will display ‘Hold’ to show this is
the case.
COOKINGLARGERBATCHES–
THE‘DUAL’FUNCTION:
1. To select and set the same time
and temperature settings for both
drawers of the air fryer, allowing
for larger batches of ingredients to
be cooked at once, press the ‘Dual’
button on the unit’s control panel.
The corresponding indicator will
illuminate and both sides of the unit’s
LED display will come on and show
’00:00’ to indicate the ‘Dual’ function
has been selected.
2. Once the ‘Dual’ function is selected,
choose the desired pre-set for each
drawer and adjust the required time
and temperature settings for the
ingredients you wish to cook. Refer
to the ‘Pre-set Menus’, ‘Setting the
Temperature’ and ‘Setting the Timer’
sections of this instruction manual for
guidance on how to select and set the
required time and temperature.
3. Alternatively, you can simply select
one of the unit pre-set menus
for each drawer, and the unit will
automatically begin cooking at
the default time and temperature
settings for that pre-set. Refer to
the ‘Pre-set Menus’ section of this
instruction manual for guidance on
how to select a pre-set menu directly
from the unit’s control panel.
STARTING A COOKING SESSION:
1. Once the required settings have been
selected, press the Start/Stop button
to start the cooking process. The unit
will automatically begin to cook the
food on the selected settings.
2. When the cooking process is
complete, the unit will give off a
sound prompt and the text ‘End’
will ash on the unit’s LED display
to indicate the cooking process has
concluded and the food is ready.
Tips:
• To remove large or fragile ingredients,
lift the ingredients out of the drawer
with a pair of tongs.
• The cooking time will depend on the
size of your ingredients. Smaller sizes
may require a shorter cooking time.
• A larger quantity of ingredients
requires a slightly longer preparation
time than a smaller quantity of
ingredients.
• Shaking smaller ingredients halfway
during the cooking time optimises
the end result and can help prevent
unevenly fried ingredients.
• For perfectly uffy 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.
• The optimal amount for preparing
crispy fries is 500 grams.
• 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.
14
USING YOUR AIR FRYER
• Use pre-made dough to prepare lled
snacks quickly and easily. Pre-made
dough also requires a shorter cooking
time than home-made dough.
• Place a baking tin or oven dish in
the air fryer drawer if you want to
bake a cake or quiche, or if you want
to fry fragile ingredients or lled
ingredients.
• The air fryer can be used to reheat
ingredients. To reheat ingredients,
select the ‘Reheat’ function from
the unit’s control panel, or set the
temperature to 150°C for up to 10
minutes.
• If the ingredients are ready empty
the cooking basket into a bowl or
onto a plate. Take care if tilting
the cooking basket, as any excess
oil that has collected on the
bottom of the cooking basket will
leak onto the ingredients, and the
grill plate may also detach from the
cooking basket and fall onto the
food.
• When a batch of food is ready, the
appliance is instantly ready for
preparing another batch.
• Unplug the appliance when the unit is
not required for further cooking.
SETTINGS TABLE:
NOTE: Once a pre-set mode has
been selected, the cooking time and
temperature can be adjusted manually,
to suit any number of foods. This
settings table will help you to select the
basic settings for a variety of popular
ingredients.
NOTE: Keep in mind that these settings
are indications. As ingredients differ in
origin, size, shape and brand the best
settings for the ingredients cannot be
guaranteed.
NOTE: Because the Rapid Air technology
instantly reheats the air inside the
appliance, removing the drawer briey
out of the appliance during hot air frying
barely disturbs the process.
NOTE: Add 3 minutes to the preparation
time before you start frying if the
appliance is cold.
