Introduction
Thank you for purchasing Kitchen Couture Air Fryer.
The Kitchen Couture Air Fryer evenly circulates hot air rapidly around food. The Kitchen
Couture Air Fryer heats up the food from all sides at once, making it a healthier, faster
and easier method to prepare tasty food than conventional fryers. The Air Fryer does not
use oil to fry food like conventional methods but can still create the crispy outer layer.

prepared by a conventional fryer. Not only does the Kitchen Couture Air Fryer make your
guilty pleasures a healthier choice, it does the job faster.
Typical cooking time is 10-20 minutes, compared to the 15-30 minutes by a conventional
fryer or oven. This versatile Kitchen Couture Air Fryer is a must-have in every modern
home kitchen.

operate without food for 30 minutes.
3. If there are still small smells, wait till the appliance cools down completely. Then
again, turn it on, set temperature at 200°C and operate without food for 30
minutes.

Personalized settings
Besides the preset cooking modes, you may personalize the time and temperature
settings for cooking particular ingredients. The table below helps you to select the basic
settings for the ingredients you want to prepare.
Note: Keep in mind that these settings are only for reference. As ingredients differ in
origin, size, shape as well as brand, we cannot guarantee the best setting for your
ingredients.
Tips:
1. Smaller ingredients usually require a slightly shorter preparation time than larger
ingredients.
2. A larger amount of ingredients only requires a slightly longer preparation time, a
smaller amount of ingredients only requires a slightly shorter preparation time.
3. Shaking smaller ingredients halfway through the preparation time optimized the
end result and can help prevent unevenly fried ingredients.
4. You may coat fresh potatoes with a little oil for a crispy result. Fry your ingredients
in the appliance within a few minutes after you have added the oil.
5. Do not prepare extremely greasy ingredients in the appliance.
6. Snacks that can be prepared in an oven can also be prepared in the air fryer.
7. The optimal amount for preparing crispy fries is about 600 grams.
8. Use pre-made dough to prepare filled snacks quickly and easily. Pre-made dough
also requires a shorter preparation time than home-made dough.
9. You may also use the appliance to reheat ingredients by setting the temperature to
150°C and the timer to about 10 minutes.
10. You may let the appliance preheat for 3 minutes so as to reach the desired
