Step 1:
Once the Air Fryer Multicooker is assembled, place it onto a flat, stable, heat-resistant
surface.
Step 2:
Place the ingredients to be cooked inside the non-stick cooking bowl or onto the
chosen accessory, taking care not to overfill it. Do not place food directly into the air fryer base
unit without first inserting the non-stick cooking bowl.
Step 3:
Place the lid onto the non-stick cooking bowl or the extender ring, if using.
Step 4:
Push the safety handle down.
Step 5:
Plug in and switch on the unit at the main power supply. Due to the triple cooking
technology, the unit does not need to be preheated to work efficiently. However, if preheating
is preferred, set the temperature control to the desired temperature and set the timer control
to 5 minutes. The green indicator light will switch off once the unit has reached the desired
temperature.
Step 6:
Set the temperature control dial to the required temperature (between 250°F to 480°F).
Step 7:
Determine the cooking time required for the ingredients and set the timer control dial
to the desired time setting. The halogen infrared element and fan will activate. The green and
red indicator lights will illuminate to signal that the unit is switched on and is heating up to the
desired temperature.
Step 8:
Once the preset cooking time has elapsed, the halogen infrared element and fan will
switch off. Lift the safety handle to remove the lid, taking care to avoid any hot steam escaping
and hot food splashes. To stop the cooking process before the preset time has elapsed, lift the
safety handle.
Using The Air Fryer Multicooker
NOTE: When using the air fryer for the first time, a slight smoke or odor may be emitted.
This is normal and will soon subside. Allow for sufficient ventilation around the unit during use.
The safety handle has an integrated safety switch, which needs to be securely pressed down to
allow cooking to commence. Always remove the lid using the safety handle to ensure that the
safety switch is activated.
Take care to set the correct time using the timer control dial, as turning it in a counter-clockwise
direction can cause damage.
Turn off the unit and wait for the timer to count down naturally if the timer control has been set
incorrectly.
Other than when preheating the unit (for 5 minutes), do not operate the unit while the non-stick
cooking bowl is empty over 10 minutes.
The green indicator light and the internal halogen lamp will cycle on and off during the cooking
process to maintain a steady temperature.
CAUTION: The underside of the unit will become very hot during use; always use heat-resistant
oven gloves to remove the lid. Use the tongs to remove the baking pan and grill rack and do
not place them onto any surfaces that may be damaged by heat.
Always check that food is cooked thoroughly and is piping hot before removing.
Grilling Or Barbecuing
When grilling or barbecuing, make sure that all foods are placed on the reversible grill rack
and the temperature is set between 420°F to 450°F. Use the reversible grill rack for high or low
placement as required.
When using any of the functions, avoid foods being positioned too close to the halogen heating
element. The extender ring should be used to increase the distance between the food and the
halogen heating element and to create extra space for larger foods or larger quantities.
The cooking time will vary depending on the thickness of the food; a 1.6 in (4 cm) thick steak
will take longer to cook than a 0.8 in (2 cm) thick steak.
Frozen foods, such as burgers, are likely to require a longer cooking time. To guarantee an even
color, foods can be turned periodically during the cooking process using the tongs.
Functions
Air Frying
When air frying, place the foods into the mesh frying basket and position it on top of the
reversible grill rack in the high position.
Thawing
Although the Air Fryer Multicooker can be used to cook frozen food, the ‘Thaw’ function can be
used to defrost food at a low temperature by turning the temperature control to ‘Thaw’. This is
the most efficient way to defrost without changing the quality or texture of the food.
The length of time taken to defrost is dependent upon the food. To determine whether the food
is defrosted thoroughly, use a fork to pierce the food.
Toasting
The Air Fryer Multicooker can be used to toast a variety of foods, including bread, crumpets
and bagels. The hot air in the unit will usually toast both sides of the food at the same time.
To toast, use the reversible grill rack as a high grill and set the temperature from 400°F to 440°F.
For best results, flip the toast/bagel halfway through.
