FAQs

How much oil does this air fryer use?

The Olsen & Smith air fryer uses up to 90% less oil compared to traditional deep frying. Many dishes require just a tablespoon or two, and some can be cooked with no added oil at all, relying on the natural fats in the food.

Can I cook two different meals at once?

Yes, absolutely! The Dual Zone cooking feature allows you to use the two independent 5.5L baskets to cook different foods at different temperatures and times simultaneously, without any flavor transfer.

Is the air fryer energy efficient?

Yes, it is designed to be energy efficient. It consumes up to 50% less energy than a standard 1.8kW electric oven, which can help you save on your electricity bills over time.

How do I clean the cooking baskets and crisping plates?

The non-stick cooking baskets and crisping plates are removable and should be cleaned after each use. Allow them to cool completely, then wash them with warm soapy water and a non-abrasive sponge. They are not specified as dishwasher safe, so handwashing is recommended.

What are the benefits of the vertical design?

The vertical design is a significant advantage for kitchens with limited counter space. It allows the air fryer to offer a large 11L total cooking capacity while occupying less horizontal workspace compared to models with side-by-side baskets.

What are the specific dimensions of the air fryer?

The overall dimensions of the air fryer are H41.1cm x W25cm x D46.6cm. Each individual basket measures H13cm (H10cm with crisping plate) x W19.5cm x D22cm.

Can I check on my food without opening the baskets?

Yes, the air fryer is equipped with convenient viewing windows and an internal light for each basket. This allows you to monitor the cooking progress of your food without needing to open the drawers, which helps maintain consistent cooking temperatures.

Troubleshooting

Air fryer won't turn on or display is blank.

Check that the power cable is securely plugged into both the air fryer and a working wall outlet. Try plugging another appliance into the same outlet to confirm power. If the issue persists, unplug for 5 minutes and retry.

Food is not cooking evenly or is not crispy.

Avoid overcrowding the baskets; cook in smaller batches if necessary. For optimal crisping, shake or flip foods halfway through the cooking cycle. Ensure the crisping plate is correctly placed in the basket to allow proper airflow.

Smoke or unusual odors during operation.

A slight odor may occur during the first few uses, which is normal. If smoke persists, unplug immediately. Check for excessive oil, grease, or food debris accumulated at the bottom of the basket or around the heating element. Ensure food items are not touching the heating element.

Sync or Match function not working as expected.

Ensure both baskets are correctly inserted and settings (temperature, time) are configured for each zone before attempting to activate Sync or Match. Refer to the instruction manual for the precise sequence to engage these functions.

Digital touch controls are unresponsive.

Ensure your hands are clean and dry when operating the touch panel. If unresponsive, try unplugging the unit from the power outlet for a few minutes and then plug it back in to reset the system.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Healthier Meals: Significantly reduces oil usage, promoting a healthier diet.
  • Energy Savings: Uses less energy than a conventional oven, lowering electricity costs.
  • Space-Efficient: Vertical design maximizes counter space.
  • Versatile Dual Cooking: Cook two different foods with separate settings simultaneously.
  • Convenience Functions: `Sync` and `Match` features streamline meal preparation.
  • Easy Monitoring: Viewing windows eliminate the need to open baskets during cooking.
  • Simple Cleanup: Non-stick baskets and crisping plates are easy to wash.
  • Intuitive Controls: Digital display with 13 presets and manual options for all skill levels.

Cons

  • Initial Learning Curve: Advanced features like `Sync` and `Match` functions may require some time to master.

  • Cable Length: The 1m power cable might limit placement options in some kitchens.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Initial Setup

  1. Unpack: Carefully remove all packaging materials, including any protective film or inserts from inside the baskets.
  2. First Clean: Before first use, wash the removable cooking baskets and crisping plates in warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely. Wipe the interior and exterior of the main unit with a damp cloth.
  3. Placement: Place the air fryer on a stable, heat-resistant, and level surface, ensuring there is adequate ventilation around the unit. Keep it away from walls or other appliances to allow proper airflow.
  4. Power Connection: Plug the 1m power cable into a grounded electrical outlet. The unit operates at 1700W.
  5. First Run (Optional): For the very first use, some users prefer to run the air fryer empty for about 10-15 minutes at a medium temperature (e.g., 180℃) to burn off any manufacturing odors. Ensure good ventilation during this step.

Compatibility

  • Power: Requires a standard household electrical outlet (220-240V). Its 1700W power rating ensures efficient operation.
  • Space: Designed for countertop use. While vertically optimized, ensure you have sufficient height clearance (H41.1cm) and width/depth (W25cm x D46.6cm) on your counter.

Care & Maintenance

  • Cleaning Baskets & Plates: Always allow the baskets and crisping plates to cool completely before cleaning. Wash them with warm water, a mild dish soap, and a non-abrasive sponge. The non-stick coating makes cleaning easy. Avoid harsh chemicals or metallic scourers.
  • Cleaning the Main Unit: Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth. Never immerse the main unit in water or any other liquid. For the interior, after cooling, gently wipe down any visible food residue from the heating element area, ensuring the unit is unplugged.
  • Storage: Store the air fryer in a dry place when not in use. Ensure all parts are clean and dry before storing.
  • Crisping Plates: Ensure the crisping plates are correctly inserted into the bottom of the baskets before cooking to promote even air circulation and crisping.
