BEFORE USING FOR THE FIRST TIME

  • Handwash the removable parts, rinse, and dry.
  • When using your air fryer for the first time, you may notice smoke or a slight odour for the first few minutes of cooking. This is normal. Ensure the room is well ventilated.
  • Place the crisping plates into the baskets. Slide the baskets into the body.

PREPARATION

  • Set the appliance on a stable, level, heat-resistant surface.
  • Leave a space of at least 50 mm all round the appliance.
  • Have oven gloves (or a tea towel) on hand, use heat-resistant plastic tongs, and a heat-resistant mat or dinner plate to rest the basket on.
  • Note: Do not use metal tongs, as they may scratch the coating. We recommend using only heat-resistant plastic or silicon-coated tongs.

CRISPING TRAYS

Fit the crisping trays into the bottom of each basket before fitting the basket dividers or joining the baskets together. Insert the front edge of the crisping tray under the curved projections that are along the inside edge of the basket, as shown (Fig. 1). Press the back edge down to seat the crisping tray into the basket. Make sure that the trays are fitted correctly so that they don’t fall out if the basket is tipped.

ASSEMBLING THE BASKETS

To use one large basket

  1. Remove the baskets from the body.
  2. If present, slide the basket dividers out of each basket.
  3. If they are not already fitted, fit a crisping plate into each basket.
  4. Place the baskets side by side so that they are touching and aligned with each other (A).Russell Hobbs 27290-56 Satisfry Snappi Dual Basket Air Fryer 4
  5. Align the U-channel connector with the grooves on both sides of the baskets simultaneously and slide it partway into the basket (B).Russell Hobbs 27290-56 Satisfry Snappi Dual Basket Air Fryer 5
  6. Apply gentle outward pressure with your thumbs onto the top of the connector (C). Slide the connector downwards while maintaining the outward pressure. This will keep the connector aligned with the grooves on the inside of the basket.Russell Hobbs 27290-56 Satisfry Snappi Dual Basket Air Fryer 6
  7. Continue until the connector clicks into place.
  8. If the connector binds up or jams when it is near its final position, use your fingers to gently pull the bottoms of the baskets against your body (D). This will help to keep them aligned.Russell Hobbs 27290-56 Satisfry Snappi Dual Basket Air Fryer 7
  9. IMPORTANT: When the baskets are connected, use BOTH handles to remove, replace, or otherwise move the baskets (J). Failure to do so may result in damage to the U-channel connector.Russell Hobbs 27290-56 Satisfry Snappi Dual Basket Air Fryer 11
  10. Don’t force anything. It should only require gentle to moderate pressure to install the basket connector. Forcing it to fit might cause damage. If it doesn’t fit correctly, remove it and then check that the baskets are still in contact and aligned with each other, then try again.

To use two separate baskets

  • Remove the baskets from the body.
  • If present, remove the basket connector (E).Russell Hobbs 27290-56 Satisfry Snappi Dual Basket Air Fryer 8
  • Separate the baskets (F).Russell Hobbs 27290-56 Satisfry Snappi Dual Basket Air Fryer 9
  • Insert the crisping plates if you are using them.
  • Orient each basket divider so that:
  • The arrow on the divider is pointing downwards.
  • The folded-over part on the top edge of each divider is facing outwards (see figures G and H).Russell Hobbs 27290-56 Satisfry Snappi Dual Basket Air Fryer 10
  • Slide the divider into the basket slot.
  • Repeat for the other basket.

Note: If you don’t orient the basket dividers correctly (step 5) before fitting, they will fall out when the baskets are inverted. Scan this QR code for a video showing how to assemble the baskets.Russell Hobbs 27290-56 Satisfry Snappi Dual Basket Air Fryer 12

TIPS

  • Foods that are smaller in size usually require a slightly shorter cooking time than larger ones.
  • Misting a bit of vegetable oil on fresh potatoes is suggested for a crispier result. When adding oil, add only a little just before cooking.
  • Snacks normally cooked in an oven can also be cooked in the appliance.
  • Place fragile or filled foods in a baking tin or oven dish in the appliance. A baking tin or oven dish is also suggested when baking a cake or quiche.
  • You can use the appliance to reheat food. Simply set the temperature and time to however warm you want your food.
  • Wear oven gloves to protect against accidental contact with the heated surfaces and escaping hot air and steam from opening the appliance.
  • To prevent scratching the non-stick coating, use only non-metallic utensils. Do not lift or cut food in the appliance using sharp utensils, such as forks and knives, which can scratch the cooking surface.
