The Swan Retro 4.5L Air Fryer leverages Swan Cyclone Technology to deliver exceptional cooking performance. This technology rapidly circulates superheated air around your food, mimicking the effects of deep frying without the need for excessive oil. The result is consistently crispy exteriors and tender interiors, making it an excellent choice for achieving that 'fried' texture in a healthier way.
The 8 adjustable cooking pre-sets are a major convenience, taking the guesswork out of meal preparation. For example:
Fries: Achieve golden, crispy chips with minimal effort, far healthier than deep-fried versions.
Steak: Cook smaller cuts of steak to your desired doneness, with a nicely seared exterior.
Wings: Get perfectly crispy chicken wings, ideal for snacks or appetizers, without excessive grease.
Cake: Yes, you can even bake! The 'Cake' pre-set allows for small cakes or muffins, expanding the fryer's utility beyond savoury items.
Beyond the pre-sets, the LED Smart controls provide flexibility. You can manually set the temperature up to 200°C and the 60-minute timer for precise control over your dishes. This is particularly useful for recipes not covered by the pre-sets or when you prefer custom adjustments. The 4.5L capacity is ample for a main course for 2-3 people, or a substantial side dish for a family of four, making it perfect for quick weeknight meals, healthier versions of your favorite comfort foods, or preparing crispy snacks.
Unpack: Carefully remove the air fryer and all packaging materials from the box. Keep the user manual for future reference.
Placement: Place the air fryer on a stable, flat, heat-resistant surface. Ensure there is adequate space (at least 10-15 cm) around the back and sides for proper ventilation during operation.
First Use: Before initial use, wipe down the interior and exterior with a damp cloth. Wash the removable pan and non-stick grill plate with warm, soapy water, rinse thoroughly, and dry completely. Run the air fryer empty for about 10-15 minutes on a medium temperature setting (e.g., 180°C) to burn off any manufacturing residues. A slight odour might be present; this is normal and will dissipate.
This air fryer is a standalone kitchen appliance. It is compatible with standard household electrical outlets. No special compatibility requirements are needed for its function.
Cleaning After Each Use: Always unplug the air fryer and allow it to cool completely before cleaning. Remove the basket and non-stick grill plate. Wash these parts in warm, soapy water using a non-abrasive sponge. They are designed for easy cleaning.
Interior Cleaning: Wipe the interior chamber with a damp cloth. For stubborn residue, use a small amount of dish soap. Ensure the interior is completely dry before next use.
Exterior Cleaning: Wipe the exterior with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or scourers, as they can damage the finish.
Storage: Store the air fryer in a dry place once completely clean and dry. The compact design makes it easy to store in a cupboard or on a countertop.
General Tips: Do not immerse the main unit (housing the heating element and electronics) in water or any other liquid. Always ensure the basket is fully inserted and the safe start sensor is engaged before operating.
