FAQs

Can I cook different foods simultaneously in each basket?

Yes, absolutely. The Swan Retro 8L Dual Basket Air Fryer allows you to cook two different foods, at different temperatures and times, in its independent 4L baskets. The Smart Sync Finish feature ensures they both complete cooking at the same time.

Is this air fryer energy efficient?

Yes, it is designed as an energy-saving alternative to traditional oven cooking, especially for smaller meals or side dishes. Its rapid heating and efficient air circulation use less energy compared to preheating and operating a large oven.

How do I clean the baskets and internal parts?

The removable baskets and any crisper plates are dishwasher safe for easy cleaning. For the internal metal cavity, wait for it to cool down, then wipe it clean with a damp cloth. For stubborn residue, soak the baskets in warm, soapy water before washing.

What is 'Swan Cyclone Technology'?

Swan Cyclone Technology refers to the powerful hot air circulation system within the air fryer. This technology ensures even cooking and creates a crispy, golden-brown finish on food with minimal or no added oil, promoting healthier results.

What does the 'Shake Reminder' do?

The Shake Reminder is an alert that prompts you to open the air fryer and shake or flip the contents of the basket(s) mid-cooking cycle. This ensures that all sides of your food are exposed to the circulating hot air, leading to more even cooking and consistent crispiness.

What is the adjustable temperature range?

The air fryer offers a wide adjustable temperature range from 40°C to 200°C (104°F to 392°F), providing versatility for various cooking tasks, from dehydrating to roasting.

Does it come with a warranty?

Yes, the Swan Retro 8L Dual Basket Air Fryer comes with a 2-year guarantee. Please refer to your product's documentation for full warranty terms and conditions.

Troubleshooting

Air Fryer will not turn on.

Ensure the air fryer is securely plugged into a working electrical outlet. Check if the outlet itself is functioning by plugging in another appliance. Verify that the basket(s) are fully inserted into the unit, as a safety mechanism prevents operation if they are not.

Food is not cooking evenly or is not crispy.

Do not overcrowd the baskets; cook in smaller batches if necessary to allow air to circulate. Utilize the Shake Reminder function and manually shake or flip food items midway through cooking. Ensure the correct temperature and cooking time are set for the specific food. Preheating the air fryer for 3-5 minutes can also improve results.

Smoke is coming from the air fryer.

A small amount of white smoke is normal when cooking fatty foods. If smoke is excessive or dark, immediately unplug the unit. Check the heating element and baskets for any accumulated food residue or grease, and clean thoroughly. Ensure baskets are completely dry before reuse. Avoid adding excessive oil directly to the basket.
