FAQs

Can I cook a whole chicken in this air fryer?

The dual 4.5L baskets are best suited for smaller cuts of meat or multiple portions of smaller items. For a whole chicken, you may need to use the stacking accessory for larger capacity or consider cooking it in pieces.

How do I use the Sync and Match functions?

The 'Sync' function coordinates the end time of cooking for both baskets, ensuring they finish together. The 'Match' function replicates the settings from one basket to the other, ideal for cooking large batches of the same food.

What are the dimensions of the air fryer?

Please refer to the product manual or the manufacturer's website for precise dimensions, as these can vary slightly.

Is it safe to stack the baskets if I don't have the wire racks?

The stacking feature is designed to be used with the provided or optional steel wire racks to ensure stability and proper airflow. Do not attempt to stack baskets without appropriate accessories.

Can I use metal utensils in the air fryer baskets?

It is recommended to use silicone, wooden, or heat-resistant plastic utensils to avoid scratching the non-stick coating. Metal utensils can damage the surface over time.

How long is the warranty period?

Warranty information is typically provided by the manufacturer. Please check the product packaging or the Salter website for details on the warranty period and terms.

What is the maximum temperature and cooking time?

The air fryer offers a range of temperatures and cooking times, controllable via the LED display and preset programs. Specific maximums can be found in the user manual.

Troubleshooting

Air fryer not turning on

Ensure the power cord is securely plugged into a working outlet. Check if the baskets are properly inserted.

Uneven cooking results

Shake the basket midway through cooking or ensure food items are not overcrowded. Try using the 'Match' function if cooking identical items.

Food sticking to the basket

Ensure the non-stick coating is not damaged. Lightly coat food with oil before cooking or use cooking spray. Avoid abrasive cleaning tools.

Sync function not working as expected

Confirm that both baskets contain food items and have been programmed correctly. Ensure the air fryer is on a level surface.

Excessive smoke during operation

Ensure the baskets are clean and free of food debris. Reduce the amount of fatty food being cooked, or ensure it is not overcrowding the basket.

  • User-friendly LED touch display with multiple presets.

Cons

  • Dual basket usage might require some experimentation to perfect timing.
  • Stacking may slightly increase cooking time for the upper basket due to airflow.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Before first use, wash the baskets and any racks with warm, soapy water. Ensure all parts are dry before inserting them into the air fryer. Place the air fryer on a stable, heat-resistant surface with adequate ventilation around it. Plug the appliance into a suitable power outlet.

Compatibility: This air fryer is designed for home kitchen use. The non-stick coating is compatible with standard cooking utensils, but abrasive materials should be avoided to maintain the surface.

Care: Clean the baskets and drawers after each use. They are dishwasher-safe, or can be hand-washed with warm water, mild detergent, and a non-abrasive sponge. Wipe the exterior of the air fryer with a damp cloth. Ensure the appliance is completely cool and unplugged before cleaning. Avoid immersing the main unit in water.
