FAQs

Can I use parchment paper in this air fryer?

Yes, but ensure the paper is weighed down by food so it does not get sucked into the heating element.

Do I need to preheat the air fryer?

While not strictly required, preheating for 3 minutes can help achieve crispier results for certain recipes.

Is the basket dishwasher safe?

It is highly recommended to hand wash the basket to protect the integrity of the non-stick coating.

Can I cook frozen food directly?

Yes, the rapid air circulation is excellent for cooking frozen items without the need for thawing.

What is the maximum temperature?

The maximum temperature setting is 200c.

Does it have a manual timer?

Yes, you can manually adjust the timer up to 60 minutes using the digital touch panel.

Troubleshooting

The unit will not power on.

Ensure the power plug is securely connected to the wall outlet and check that the basket is fully inserted into the unit.

Food is not cooking evenly.

Do not overfill the basket and ensure you shake the basket midway through the cooking process for items like fries.

White smoke appears during cooking.

This often occurs when cooking greasy foods. Wipe the inside of the cooking chamber and ensure the basket is clean.

Pros and Cons

Cons

Requires significant counter space
Non-stick coating requires careful handling to avoid scratching

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up your air fryer, place it on a flat, heat-resistant surface with at least 10cm of space around the vents to allow proper airflow. Before the first use, wash the detachable basket with warm, soapy water and a non-abrasive sponge.

To maintain the appliance, always allow the unit to cool completely before cleaning. The non-stick basket is best cleaned by hand to preserve the coating, though you should avoid using metal utensils or harsh scrubbing pads. Periodically check the air intake and exhaust vents for debris to ensure maximum efficiency.
