SETTINGS

To assist with selection of cooking times and maximum basket volumes for specific ingredients, refer to the cooking manual in this booklet.NOTE: please keep in mind that the cooking manual is indicative and for your reference only. Variation in size, shapes and brands may require an increase or decrease for the time and temperature set to achieve your desired cooking outcome.This type of heating technology reheats the air inside the appliance instantly, so pulling the pan briefly out of the appliance to toss ingredients during the cooking process barely disturbs the process.

Tips:

1. Smaller ingredients usually require a shorter cooking time than larger ingredients.
2. A larger amount of ingredients require a longer cooking time.
3. Tossing smaller ingredients halfway during the cooking process optimizes the end result and can help prevent unevenly fried ingredients.
4. Do not prepare extremely greasy ingredients such as sausages with the air fryer.

9. For best results with home-made fries, soak the cut fries in water for 30minutes to remove excess starch, dry on kitchen paper and toss in 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil (or lightly spray with olive oil spray) until the fries are coated.
10. For a crispy home-made coating, mix fine breadcrumbs with a tablespoon of olive oil.
