FAQs
Do I need to add oil to my food?
No, you do not need to add oil for most foods, though a light spray can help achieve extra crispness for frozen or starchy items.
Can I put the basket in the dishwasher?
It is highly recommended to hand wash the basket and tray to preserve the longevity of the non-stick coating.
Is preheating required?
While not always necessary, preheating the unit for 3 minutes can improve results for certain foods like baked goods or thick cuts of meat.
What is the maximum temperature?
The Drew & Cole 4L Air Fryer typically reaches up to 200 degrees Celsius, suitable for most air frying and roasting needs.
Can I cook frozen foods directly?
Yes, the air fryer is excellent for cooking frozen items like nuggets, chips, or spring rolls directly from the freezer.
How do I clear the pre-set programmes?
You can manually adjust the time and temperature even after selecting a pre-set programme using the digital control panel.
Troubleshooting
The air fryer will not turn on.
Ensure the power cable is firmly plugged into a functional wall socket and that the basket is fully locked into place, as the unit has a safety switch.
Food is not cooking evenly.
Do not overfill the basket. Ensure ingredients are spread in a single layer and shake the basket halfway through the cooking process.
White smoke is coming from the unit.
This often indicates excess grease or oil residue in the basket. Ensure you clean the basket and the heating element cover thoroughly after each use.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setting up the air fryer is straightforward; simply place it on a heat-resistant, level surface with at least 10cm of clearance on all sides to allow for proper ventilation. Before first use, wash the cooking basket and tray with warm soapy water. To maintain the non-stick coating, always use silicone or wooden utensils when handling food inside the basket, as metal tools will scratch and damage the surface. After every use, once the unit has completely cooled down, wipe the exterior with a damp cloth and wash the removable components by hand. Ensure all parts are thoroughly dried before reassembly to prevent moisture buildup.
