COOKING

The Vortex Plus uses rapid air circulation to crisp or cook food, giving

your meals all the rich, crispy flavour of deep frying, with little to no oil.

HOT SURFACES

The air fryer will be hot during and after cooking. Always exercise

extreme caution when removing food from the hot cooking

chamber. Touching hot surfaces may result in personal injury,

and/or property damage.

MUST ALLOW AIR FLOW

To prevent personal injury, do not block air intake or air vents.

What to cook in

The cooking basket and cooking tray are perforated to allow air to flow

under and around your food, and should be used for most foods, like

wings and cauliflower bites.

You can place food right on the cooking tray, without using foil or other coverings.

For the Baking programme only, you can use a metal or glass baking

dish to hold things like batter for cakes and dough for breads. Place the

baking dish inside the cooking basket for baking. Leave approximately

2.5 cm of space around all sides of the baking dish to allow heat to

circulate evenly.
