The Swan Retro 8L Dual Basket Air Fryer leverages Swan Cyclone Technology to deliver exceptionally crispy and evenly cooked food. This technology rapidly circulates hot air, achieving a delicious fried texture with minimal to no added oil, making your favorite dishes healthier.
One of the standout features for busy households is Smart Sync Finish. Imagine cooking chicken in one basket and fries in the other, each requiring different cooking times and temperatures. With Smart Sync Finish, the air fryer intelligently adjusts so both items finish cooking simultaneously, eliminating the need to wait for one component of your meal. For larger portions of a single item, like a big batch of crispy chips or roasted vegetables, the Dual Cook function allows you to utilize both 4L baskets for increased capacity.
To ensure consistent results, the built-in shake reminder will prompt you to toss the food mid-cycle, especially for items like fries or chicken pieces, ensuring every side gets perfectly crispy. The 8 pre-set functions simplify cooking common dishes, from crispy fries and roasted vegetables to baked chicken and even dehydrated fruit for healthy snacks. Simply select the desired preset on the intuitive LED touch controls, and the air fryer handles the rest, taking the guesswork out of meal preparation.
Unpack: Carefully remove all components from the packaging and ensure all packing materials are discarded.
Placement: Position the air fryer on a stable, flat, heat-resistant surface, ensuring adequate space (at least 15 cm) around all sides for proper ventilation. Do not place near water sources or heat-sensitive materials.
Power: Plug the air fryer into a grounded electrical outlet. Ensure the voltage matches the specifications on the product label.
Initial Cleanse: Before first use, it's recommended to wipe down the interior and baskets with a damp cloth. Run a preliminary cycle for about 10-15 minutes at a medium temperature (e.g., 180°C / 350°F) without any food to burn off any manufacturing odors. Some light smoke or odor during this initial run is normal.
The Swan Retro 8L Dual Basket Air Fryer is designed for use with standard household electrical outlets. Ensure your kitchen has sufficient counter space to accommodate its dimensions.
It is compatible with a wide range of air fryer-safe accessories (e.g., parchment paper liners, small baking dishes) that fit within the 4L basket dimensions.
Baskets and Trays: After each use, allow the baskets to cool. They feature a non-stick coating and are dishwasher safe for convenient cleaning. Alternatively, wash them with warm, soapy water using a non-abrasive sponge. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely before storing.
Exterior: Wipe the exterior of the main unit with a soft, damp cloth. Do not immerse the main unit in water or any other liquid, and avoid harsh cleaning agents.
Interior: Once cool, gently wipe the interior cavity and the heating element area with a damp cloth or non-abrasive sponge to remove any food residue. Ensure all parts are dry before next use.
