BEFORE USING FOR THE FIRST TIME
• Handwash the removable parts, rinse, and dry.

minutes of cooking. This is normal. Ensure the room is well ventilated.
• Place the crisping plates into the baskets. Slide the baskets into the body.
PREPARATION
• Sit the appliance on a stable, level, heat-resistant surface.

TIPS
• Foods that are smaller in size usually require a slightly shorter cooking time than larger ones.
• Misting a bit of vegetable oil on fresh potatoes is suggested for a crispier result. When adding oil, add
only a little just before cooking.
• Snacks normally cooked in an oven can also be cooked in the appliance.
• Place fragile or filled foods in a baking tin or oven dish in the appliance. A baking tin or oven dish is also
suggested when baking a cake or quiche.
• You can use the appliance to reheat foods. Simply set the temperature and time to however warm you
want your food.
• Wear oven gloves to protect against accidental contact with the heated surfaces and escaping hot air
and steam from opening the appliance.
• To prevent scratching the nonstick coating, use only non-metallic utensils. Do not lift or cut food in the
appliance using sharp utensils, such as forks and knives, which can scratch the cooking surface.
COOKING TIMES AND FOOD SAFETY
• To be used purely as a guide
• Check food is cooked through before serving. If in doubt, cook it a bit more.
• Cook meat, poultry, and any derivatives (mince, burgers, etc.) till the juices run clear.
• Cook fish till the flesh is opaque throughout.
• When cooking pre-packed foods, follow any guidelines on the package or label.

decrease the effect of smoke.
