Instant
Best known for the multicooker, and the manufacturer with the clearest published specifications of any read for this catalogue. AirfryerHQ has no affiliation with the company.
AirfryerHQ is an independent information site. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to any appliance manufacturer. Product and brand names are used descriptively to identify appliances readers own, and belong to their respective owners.
About the company
Instant's Vortex range covers single-basket, dual-basket and flex-drawer machines. Its manuals are the most useful of any read this sprint for one specific reason: they publish a settable temperature RANGE for every programme, not merely a default, which is the number a reader actually needs and almost nobody else prints.
Also trading as: Instant Brands (EMEA) Limited, Instant Brands LLC
Model numbering
UK and EU products share a manual. Model identifiers such as AFB9002BK and DAF8132BK appear only in the specification table, not on the marketing material, so a reader will usually be searching by capacity and range name instead.
Finding your manual
Manuals are published on the manufacturer's UK site and mirrored by retailers. The specification table at the back carries the model identifier, volume, wattage, weight and dimensions in one place.
AirfryerHQ does not host or reproduce manufacturer documentation, and does not link to support pages whose addresses we have not confirmed. A broken confident link is worse than an accurate instruction.
