- bed and breakfast settings
• This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical,
sensory, or mental capabilities, or lack experience and knowledge unless, they have been given
instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
• Use only on an appropriate benchtop & indoors only, sitting away from flammable materials such
as curtains, draperies and walls of similar nature as a fire may occur if comes in contact or
becomes covered during operation.
• Do not place on or near a hot gas, electric burner, or in a heated oven.
• Do not use appliance for other than its intended use.
• This appliance is under 220V~240V use only. Check voltage to be sure the voltage indicated on

COOKING FUNCTIONS
AIR FRY FUNCTION
For best results, use the provided Air Fryer Basket fitted into the Baking Tray/Drip Pan to catch any crumbs
or fats when cooking.
The Air Fry function can be used at 90°C–230°C for up to 1 hour. This function is used to air fry food
and meals as a healthy alternative to deep frying in oil. A high-speed fan and multiple heating elements
circulate hot air from the top down to prepare a variety of meals that can be both delicious and healthier
than traditional frying.
• Default setting: 220°C; 12 minutes
• Many foods that are usually fried can be air-fried without using excess amounts of oil. Air-fried foods will
taste lighter and be less greasy than deep-fried foods.
• Air-frying doesn’t require oil, but a light spray can enhance browning and crispiness. Use an oil sprayer
or a nonstick olive oil cooking spray to keep it extra light, a pastry brush to evenly coat, or pour a little
oil into a bowl, add food, and toss.
• Most oils can be used for air-frying. Olive oil is preferred for a richer flavour. Vegetable, canola or
grapeseed oils are recommended for milder flavours.
•
An assortment of coatings can be used on air fried foods. Some examples of different crumb mixtures include;
- breadcrumbs,
-seasoned breadcrumbs
-panko breadcrumbs
-crushed cornflakes
-crushed potato chips.
Various flours, including gluten-free, and other dry foods like cornmeal also work very well.
• Most foods do not need to be turned during cooking, but larger items, like chicken drumsticks, should
be turned halfway through the cooking cycle to ensure they are evenly cooked with browning results.
• When air-frying large quantities of food that fill the pan, toss food halfway through the cooking cycle
to ensure evenly cooked results and browning.
• Use higher temperatures for foods that cook quickly, like bacon and chips.
• Use lower temperatures for foods that take longer to cook, like crumbed chicken.
• Foods will cook more evenly if they are cut into the same-size pieces.
• Please note that many foods release water when they cook. When cooking large quantities for an
extended period, condensation may build up, which could leave moisture on your benchtop.
The chart below lists recommended amounts, cooking times and temperatures for various types of food
that can be air-fried in the Air Crisp Pro. If portions exceed recommendations, you can toss occasionally
while cooking to ensure crispiest, and even browning results. Smaller amounts of food may require less
time. For best air fry results, use the oven light to periodically check on the cooking food.
NOTE: When air-frying, always use the Air Fryer Basket with the Baking Tray/Drip Pan. For all foods below, we
suggest using the upper position (Position 1). for best results unless otherwise stated below.

ROAST
Roast can be used at 90ºC – 230ºC for up to 2 hours.
• Default: 180°C for 45 mins.
• Use the Dual Cook function for pre-browning at a high temperature then automatically reduce to a
lower temperature for a longer roasting time. This is ideal for a pork roast.
• Warm up vegetables and brown by roasting them; as they caramelise.
• As some foods roast faster, begin checking progress at least 5 to 10 minutes before the end of sug-
gested cooking time.
•
Using the Super Convection (or high fan) setting, roasts can cook up to 50% faster with enhanced browning.
After selecting the Roast function press the Super Convection button. The icon will display on the screen.
• Cooking times will need to be adjusted. We suggest you check your roast at least 20 minutes before
the suggested total cooking time.
ROASTING CHART
* For all roasts, it is recommended you remove the meat from the refrigerator 30 minutes prior to cooking
* Opening the oven during cooking may affect the overall cooking time
* It is recommended to allow any roast to sit covered with foil for 20 minutes before cutting to serve

BAKE
Baking is recommended for a variety of foods you would normally prepare in a conventional oven.
Bake has a preheating stage during which display will show “Preheat”; once preheat is complete, oven will
beep. Place food in oven and display will show “Ready”; countdown timer will begin.
Bake can be used at 90°C – 230°C for up to 2 hours.
• Default: 180°C for 30 mins.
• The oven defaults to normal convection fan speed (i.e.
not displaying on screen) for more delicate
items like custards and eggs, as well as most baked foods like muffins, cakes and biscuits
• You can select the option of Super Convection fan (or high fan) speed (i.e. displaying
on screen),
for most baked foods that require even browning, like heartier baked foods and breads.
• When using the Super Convection function, cooking times and temperatures may need to be
reduced—start checking food about 5 to 10 minutes before the end of the suggested cooking time.
TOAST
This function is used to toast bread and other items; both fresh and frozen items can be used.
Toast shade can be set from 1 to 7 with up to 4 regular bread size slices.
• Default: Shade 4; 3-4 slices; not frozen
• For best results and more evenly toasted items:
– 2 slices: centre them in the middle of the oven rack
– 4 slices should be evenly spaced—2 in front, 2 in back
•
If toast is lighter to your liking, add time (up to 1 minute) by adjusting the time before toasting is complete.
• Shade Guide: Light (1, 2) • Medium (3, 4, 5) Dark (6, 7)
• For toasting frozen bread press the Frozen button
before toasting
WARNING:
Always use Rack Position 1 for toasting. Do not invert rack in Position 2 as this may result in burning.

• Default: 35°C for 45 mins.
Allow dough to complete at least one rise at room temperature.
• Shape dough and place on the Baking Tray/Drip Pan or separate baking dish such as a loaf pan and
then put directly in the oven in Position 2.
• Dough is ready when doubled in size. Start checking around 20 minutes.
• Once time elapses, complete dough preparation and bake according to recipe.
DEHYDRATE
The chart below lists recommendations on how to dehydrate different foods. These are guidelines only.
Drying times can vary due to thickness of cuts and relative humidity.
Dehydrate can be used at 40°C – 95°C for up to 72 hours
• Default: 55°C for 2 hours; Super Convection
• Lemon juice can be used to pre-treat fruits and vegetables to prevent browning
• Drying times can greatly vary due to the thickness of cuts and relative humidity
• Check foods often for dryness
• Do not overcrowd; foods should be arranged in a single layer with little to no overlap. The built-in fan
and low heat are used to create a flow of hot air that reduces the water content found in fresh foods.
Dehydrated food will continue to retain most of its original nutritional value.

CLEANING & MAINTENANCE
• The oven interior needs to be cleaned as per below, after every use. The slide out Crumb Tray should
be checked and cleaned after every use if required.
• Always unplug the oven from the electrical outlet and allow it to cool completely before cleaning.
• Do not use abrasive cleaners, as they will damage the finish. Simply wipe the exterior with a clean,
damp cloth and dry thoroughly. Apply the cleansing agent to a cloth, not directly onto the toaster
oven, before cleaning.
• Cleaning the accessories:
– Crumb Tray should be hand-washed in hot, sudsy water, or use a nylon scouring pad or nylon brush,
and thoroughly rinsed. These items are NOT dishwasher safe.
– Oven Rack/Baking Tray/Drip Pan and Air Fryer Basket are stainless steel, dishwasher safe or can be
hand-washed in hot, sudsy water, or use a nylon scouring pad or nylon brush, and thoroughly rinsed.
• To clean interior walls, use a damp cloth and a mild liquid soap solution or a spray solution on a
sponge. Remove any residue from cleaners with a clean, damp rag. Never use harsh abrasives or
corrosive products. These could damage the oven surface. Never use steel wool pads, etc., on interior
of oven.
• After cooking greasy foods and once your oven has cooled, always clean top of oven interior. If this
is done on a regular basis, your oven will perform like new. Removing the grease will help to keep
toasting consistent, cycle after cycle.
•
To remove crumbs, slide out the front Crumb Tray and discard crumbs. Wipe clean and replace. To remove
baked-on grease, soak the tray in hot, sudsy water or use nonabrasive cleaners. Never operate the oven
without the Crumb Tray in place.
19
Operation Why won’t my appliance turn
on?
Make sure your appliance is plugged into a functional 230/240v
power outlet.
Make sure the oven door is closed, as it has an auto-cut out
feature when the door is ajar.
Call Consumer Service at 1800 566 567.
Why does the fan remain on
after cooking?
The fan remains on for cooling purposes.
Why does the light turn off? The light only stays on for 20 seconds each time the Light
button is pressed to conserve energy. This is normal.
Programming
Can I change my cooking
function when the appliance is
already cooking?
You need to first interrupt the current cooking function by
pressing Start/Stop. Hold START / STOP down for 3-5 seconds
to return to the main menu.
Can I change the time or
temperature when the
appliance is already cooking?
Yes. Please refer to instructions of page 6.
Cooking
Why is my food not crispy or
fried evenly?
Some foods may require more oil than others. If not crispy
enough, spray, brush or add some oil on the food.
Make sure food is spread evenly in one single layer in the Air
Fryer Basket with no overlap. If food still overlaps, toss or flip
food halfway through cooking cycle.
Put the food in for additional cooking time. Make sure to check
periodically until food reaches desired brownness.
Do not leave oven unattended.
Why is my food undercooked? If you put too much food in the basket, try with smaller batches
of food and single layers, rather than stacking food on top of
each other.
The temperature might be too low. Use the TEMP/SHADE
button to increase temperature.
When preparing greasy foods, oil may leak into the pan which
may produce steam. This will not affect the appliance or the
end result. It may fog up the viewing window on the sides or
corners.
Why does condensation
and steam come out of my
appliance?
When preparing foods with a high moisture content, the water
evaporates out of the food and causes condensation. This will
not affect the appliance or the end result. It may fog up the
viewing window on the sides or corners and condensation may
escape from the unit.
The pan, basket, or bottom of the oven may contain grease
residue from previous use. Make sure to clean the pan, basket
and oven interior after each use. Remove and clean the crumb
tray after each use.
Cleaning Are the parts dishwasher safe? The Oven Rack/ Baking Tray/ Drip Pan and the Air Fryer Basket
are stainless steel and dishwasher safe.
Do not put the Crumb Tray in the dishwasher; instead, hand-
wash with warm, sudsy water.
How do I clean tough-to-
remove food residue from my
accessories?
To remove baked-on grease, soak the accessories in hot, sudsy
water or use a nonabrasive cleanser.
