• Ensure that the appliance is unplugged and switched OFF.
• Ensure that the rubber guides are securely attached to the Fry Tray. Insert
the Fry Tray into the Drawer so that it rests flat and even inside the bottom area
of the Drawer.
• Add food into the Drawer. To ensure the best results with sufficient hot air
circulation, do not overfill the Drawer with food.
• Now slide the Drawer into the appliance cavity.
• Plug the Power Cord into the wall outlet. You will notice that the appliance
enters Standby Mode.
• Press the Power Icon to wake the appliance controls.
• Press the Preset Mode Icon to select your preferred Preset Mode (skip the

• We recommend checking on foods halfway through the cooking process
to monitor cooking and browning progress. Turn or shake foods halfway
through the cooking process for even results. This Air Fryer will sound an
automatic reminder alarm to notify you when it is time to turn or shake
foods. Preset Modes which utilize this automatic reminder: DIY, Fries,
Meat, Poultry, Vegetables and Seafood.
To check on food, simply slide the Drawer from the appliance by using
the Drawer Handle. Shake, turn or toss ingredients in the Drawer
vigorously if needed and simply slide it back in when done. The cooking
program will pause and then automatically resume.
• Adjust temperature or time if needed.
• When the timer counts down to zero, it will sound an alarm notification
indicating that the cycle has completed. The Air Fryer will turn off
automatically after it has run its cooling down cycle. If additional air frying
is needed, simply follow the above process again.
• When you are done, remove the Drawer and place on a flat, heat-resist-
ant work area. Remove food from the Drawer and plate as desired.
• Once all food is removed from the Drawer, allow the Air Fryer to cool
down then proceed with cleaning the Air Fryer or instantly move on to your
next cooking creation.
10
NOTES:
• Always add food into the Drawer, only after the Fry Tray is correctly in
place.
• When cooking foods from frozen ensure to extend the amount of cooking
time accordingly to allow for the foods to defrost first.
• Use the Drawer Handle to remove or add the Drawer from and into the
appliance.
• Never turn the Drawer upside down with the Fry Tray inserted. Be careful
not to tilt the Drawer when removing or adding it back into the appliance.
Hot oils and fats may spill as they have collected in the Drawer during the
cooking process.
• Always remove foods from the Drawer before emptying to prevent oil
from contaminating air-fried foods.
• Always remove the Drawer from the Air Fryer and immediately rest it on
a flat, heat-resistant surface before removing food and detaching the Fry Tray
from the Drawer.
• Ensure to unplug the appliance after you have finished using it so as to
turn the appliance OFF.
USEFUL HINTS:
• Brush food slightly with some oil for crispier results.
• Par-boil potatoes before air frying when you prepare homemade chips
that you have sliced and skinned yourself.
• If you are cooking different food types consecutively, clean the Fry Tray
and Drawer between each batch. This will assist in ensuring that the taste
of the food is not affected by what was cooked in the batch before.
• Reheat leftovers in your Air Fryer for crispier, tastier results.
• Mix your seasonings with oil before adding them to your foods to prevent
them from blowing around in the Air Fryer.
• When crumbing, press the crumb mixture onto the food using your hands.
This will prevent the crumbs from blowing off the food during the cooking
cycle.
• Explore a world of exciting recipes online. There are multitudes of online
resources available globally. Experiment with foods and recipes to find
what works for you. Go to www.bennettread.co.za to download your
free recipe guide.
• For consistent browning, ensure that all ingredients are arranged in an
even layer on the Fry Tray without overlapping. If ingredients are
overlapping, make sure to turn or shake them halfway through cooking.
• Once a cooking cycle has completed and you are satisfied with the level
of cooking as well as browning, we recommend that you remove food
straight away to prevent it from over-cooking.

DAILY CLEANING
• Always unplug the Air Fryer and allow it to cool before cleaning. Do not
touch
the Fry Tray, Drawer or Inner Air Fryer Cavity until it is completely cool.
• Remove the Fry Tray and Drawer after each use and wash in warm,
soapy water. Ensure to separate the Fry Tray and Drawer so that they are
cleaned separately. Oil and fats will gather on the majority of the areas.
Rinse and dry thoroughly with a clean, soft cloth and replace into the Air
Fryer before next use.
• The Fry Tray and Drawer are dishwasher-safe and can be placed in a
dishwasher for cleaning. Ensure to use the most gentle dishwasher setting
at a low temperature of no more than 60°C.
• For tough food residue, allow the Fry Tray and Drawer to soak in a warm
water and detergent mixture for 10 minutes.
• Wipe the inner Air Fryer Cavity and the appliance exterior with a damp
cloth.
• Do not use abrasive tools, cleaning aids, scouring pads or harsh
detergents as they may damage the surface of your appliance. Never use
metal utensils to remove residue or food stains as they can damage the
appliance.
• Do not immerse the appliance body in water or any other liquid. Do not
place it in the dishwasher.
• Ensure that the Drawer and Fry Tray are clean and dry before placing
back into the Air Fryer body.
TIP: Pour used oil and fats into an old jam jar and dispose of it once you
have collected a fair amount. This is environmentally friendly, and by
avoiding pouring the oils down the drain, it will ensure that your drain pipes
do not become clogged over time.
LONG TERM MAINTENANCE
As a frying and cooking appliance, oils and fats may build up inside the
cavity. You may notice excessive smoke emitting from the air outlet at the
back of the appliance over time. This is usually an indicator that the
appliance needs maintenance cleaning in accordance with the long term
maintenance guide. We recommend maintenance cleaning quarterly or as
needed.
Follow the above and below daily care and cleaning steps:
• Turn the appliance upside down so that it is resting on its upper appliance
body. This will enable you to see the inner appliance cavity and cooking
element, and to determine where oil and fat build-up is taking place.
13
• Use a soft, dry bristle brush to lightly brush stubborn build-up off the
element.
• Use a soft, disposable cleaning cloth or sponge, slightly dampened with a
small amount of detergent to finish cleaning the element and wipe clean
all accessible areas of the cavity.
• Thoroughly dry the element and cavity, ensuring that no detergent or
moisture remains before using or storing the appliance.
STORAGE
• Ensure that all parts are dry before storing.
• Never store the appliance while it is hot, still wet or dirty.
• Store the appliance in a clean, dry place.
• Never wrap the Power Cord around the appliance.

TROUBLESHOOTING
PROBLEM
Appliance does
not work.
1. The Power Cord has not
been inserted into the wall
power socket correctly.
2. Cooking selections not
completed.
3. The Start/Pause Icon was
not pressed to confirm
selections and to start the cycle.
1. Ensure that the Power Cord plug
is correctly inserted into a working
and functional wall power socket.
2. Complete cooking selections.
3. Press the Start/Pause Icon to
begin the cycle.
Food is not cooked
completely when the
timer and cooking
function have finished.
1. Too much food in the
Drawer.
2. Cooking temperature is set
too low.
3. Cooking time is too short.
1. Do not overload the Drawer
before cooking. Instead cook the
required food in separate batches.
2. Use an increased cooking
temperature when cooking.
3. Increase the cooking time
needed when cooking.
Certain foods need to be
shaken/turned/tossed during
the cooking cycle.
In the middle of the cooking cycle,
pull out the Drawer, shake well to
separate the overlapped food, then
insert the Drawer back into the
Air Fryer.
Cooked food is not
crispy or does not
appear golden brown.
Some foods require some form
of oil to crisp and turn golden
brown. This is because not all
food has natural oils or fats to
encourage crisping and
browning.
Before cooking, lightly brush or
drizzle a thin layer of oil on the
food.
The appliance is

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
QUESTION
Why is my food burned?
For best results, check progress
throughout the cooking cycle.
Remove food when the desired
level of cooking and browning
has been achieved. Remove
food immediately after the
cooking cycle has completed to
avoid over-cooking.
When should I use the Fry
Tray?
Use the Fry Tray for crispy,
healthier results. The Fry Tray
elevates food in the Drawer so
that air can flow under and
around it to cook evenly. It also
lifts foods from the bottom of
the Drawer so that the Drawer
catches oils and fats as they
drain from foods during the
cooking process.
Can I air fry wet, battered
ingredients?
Yes, but ensure to use a proper
breading technique. It is
important to coat foods first
with flour, then egg, followed
by bread crumbs. Press
breading firmly onto the
battered ingredients so that
crumbs won't be blown off by
the fan during cooking.
