FAQs

Do I need to pre-heat the air fryer?

No, the halogen bulb reaches full temperature almost instantly, so you can begin cooking immediately.

Can I use the extender ring for all meals?

The extender ring is optional and should primarily be used when cooking larger items that would otherwise touch the lid.

How do I clean the glass bowl safely?

Use the self-cleaning cycle with warm water and detergent, then wipe with a non-abrasive sponge once cooled.

Can I cook frozen food directly in the fryer?

Yes, it is excellent for frozen foods, though you may need to adjust the timer for a few extra minutes compared to fresh food.

Is the lid dishwasher safe?

No, the lid contains the electrical components and heating element and should never be submerged in water or put in a dishwasher.

Troubleshooting

The unit will not turn on

Ensure the lid is securely positioned on the bowl and the handle/safety switch is fully engaged.

Food is cooking unevenly

Check that the food is not overcrowded on the racks and ensure the fan is not obstructed by large items.

The unit is smoking during use

Excess grease or oil may have dripped onto the base of the bowl; wipe the interior clean and ensure food is not in direct contact with the bulb.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before first use, wash the glass bowl and all included stainless steel accessories in warm, soapy water. Place the air fryer on a level, heat-resistant surface, ensuring there is at least 10cm of space around the unit for proper ventilation.

To use the self-cleaning function, fill the bowl with warm water and a small amount of mild detergent, set the temperature to a low setting, and let the unit run for approximately 10 minutes; the swirling water and heat will loosen residue. Always unplug the unit and allow the glass bowl to cool completely before attempting to move or clean it to avoid thermal shock.
