SAFEGUARDS

Safety Instructions

At Instant™, we want you to feel comfortable using our products. This

Instant™ Air Fryer was designed with you and your safety in mind.

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should

always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, personal

injury/or property damage.

Read all instructions before using and only use this appliance

as described in the in-box materials. Failure to follow these

safeguards and instructions may result in personal injury and/or

property damage, and can void your warranty.

Placement

• DO place the appliance on a countertop only. Always operate the

appliance on a stable, non-combustible, level surface.

• DO make sure all parts are dry and free of food debris before use.

• DO NOT place the appliance on or close to a gas or electric burner,

or oven.

• DO NOT use the appliance near water, an external heat source

or flame.

• DO NOT use outdoors. Keep out of direct sunlight.

• DO NOT place on anything that may block the vents on the appliance.

General Use

• DO use the appliance’s handles when opening the door/basket.

• DO use oven mitts when removing accessories.

• DO place hot accessories on a heat-resistant surface or

cooking plate.

• DO NOT touch the appliance’s hot surfaces, or any accessories

during or immediately after cooking because they will be hot.

• DO NOT cover the basket, cooking tray or any part of the air fryer

with foil. This will cause overheating of the air fryer.

• DO NOT move the appliance while it is in use.

User Manual

• DO NOT allow children or persons with reduced physical, sensory

or mental capabilities to operate this appliance. Close supervision

is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children and

persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities.

Children should not play with this appliance.

• DO NOT use the appliance for anything other than household use.

It is not intended for commercial use.

• DO NOT leave the appliance unattended while in use.

• DO NOT use the appliance for more than 60 minutes in a

2-hour period.

Air Frying Cautions

When the air fryer is in operation, hot air is released through the air

vents. Keep your hands and face away from the air vents and take

extreme caution when removing hot accessories from the appliance.

Failure to do so may result in personal injury and/or property damage.

While cooking, the internal temperature of the appliance reaches

several hundred degrees. To avoid personal injury, never place

unprotected hands inside the appliance until it has cooled to

room temperature.

• DO use caution when using cooking containers made of materials

other than metal or glass. Failure to do so may result in personal

injury, fire and/or property damage.

• DO use extreme caution when removing the basket/cooking tray or

disposing of hot cooking residue.

• DO NOT use a ceramic-coated or stoneware pot (such as

CorningWare®stoneware) for air frying.

• DO NOT block the vents on the air fryer. Leave at least 5 in / 13 cm

of space around the air fryer when in use.

• DO NOT place the appliance on a stove.

• DO NOT operate the appliance on or near combustible materials

such as tablecloths and curtains.

• DO NOT cover the air vents while the air fryer is in operation.

Doing so will prevent even cooking and may cause damage to

the appliance.

• DO NOT use this appliance for deep frying foods.

User Manual

• DO NOT pour oil into the cooking container. Using excess

cooking oil could cause fire and result in personal injury and/or

property damage.

• DO NOT use pressureised, aerosol oil sprays, since they contain

chemicals that can damage the non-stick finish of the cooking

basket and tray. If needed, spray food lightly with oil with a high

smoke point (such as refined avocado oil, safflower oil, refined

sunflower oil, refined peanut oil, canola oil and refined coconut oil)

from a non-aerosol, pump-style cooking spray before placing in

the basket.

• Should the unit emit black smoke during use, press Cancel and

unplug the appliance immediately. Wait for smoking to stop before

opening the door/basket, allow to cool, then clean thoroughly.

For further information refer to ‘Troubleshooting’.

Overfill During Cooking

• DO NOT overfill the unit when air frying. Overfilling may cause food

to contact the heating element, which may result in personal injury,

fire, and/or property damage. For units with an air frying basket, do

not fill more than 3/4 full. For units with a cooking tray, only fill with

a single layer of food and do not stack food in layers. Best air frying

results require air circulating through the food.

• DO NOT allow food to contact the heating element.

Accessories

• DO use only accessories or attachments authorised by Instant

Brands. The use of parts, accessories or attachments not

recommended by the manufacturer may cause a risk of electric

shock or other personal injury, fire and/or property damage.

• DO NOT use the included accessories in a microwave, toaster oven,

convection or conventional oven, or on a ceramic cooktop, electric

coil, gas range or outdoor grill.

Care and Storage

• DO let the appliance cool to room temperature before cleaning

or storage.

• DO NOT store any materials in the appliance when not in use.

User Manual

• DO NOT place any combustible materials in the appliance, such as

paper, cardboard, plastic, Styrofoam or wood.

• DO NOT clean the appliance with metal scouring pads or steel wool.

Pieces can break off and touch the electrical parts, causing a risk

of shock, burns or other personal injury.

Power Cord

A short power-supply cord is used to reduce the hazards resulting

from grabbing, entanglement or tripping. WARNING: Hot spilled food

can cause serious burns.

• DO keep appliance and power cord away from children.

• DO NOT let the power cord hang over edges of tables or counters.

• DO NOT let the power cord touch hot surfaces or open flame,

including a stovetop.

• DO NOT use below-counter power outlets.

This appliance has a 3-prong grounding plug. To reduce the risk of

electric shock:

• ONLY plug the power cord into a grounded electrical outlet.

• DO NOT remove the grounding prong on the electrical plug.

• DO NOT use with extension cords, power converters or adapters,

timer switches or separate remote-control systems.

Electrical Cautions

This appliance contains electrical components that are an electrical

shock hazard. Failure to follow these instructions may result in electric

shock and/or death.

To avoid electrical shock:

• To disconnect, select Cancel, then remove plug from power source.

Always unplug when not in use, as well as before adding or removing

parts or accessories, and before cleaning. To unplug, grasp the plug

and pull from the outlet. Never pull from the power cord.

• DO regularly inspect the appliance and power cord for any signs of

damage or fraying.

• DO NOT operate the appliance if the power cord or plug is damaged,

or after the appliance malfunctions or is dropped or damaged in any

manner. For assistance, contact Consumer Care by email at
