Philips
The manufacturer that brought the domestic air fryer to market, and the one whose manual is the most complete in 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
Philips introduced the domestic air fryer and remains a major manufacturer. The kitchen appliance business now trades as Versuni, which continues to use the Philips brand under licence — a detail that matters when searching for documentation, because older and newer manuals sit under different corporate names. Its document CDN refused every automated request we made; we reached the same booklet through the retailer that sells the product, and its food table turned out to be the best-structured of any read for this catalogue.
Also trading as: Versuni Holding B.V., Philips Domestic Appliances Holding B.V.
Model numbering
Model identifiers are typically an HD or NA prefix followed by four digits and a regional suffix after a slash. The suffix identifies the regional variant and specifications differ between them; the HD9650 manual read here covers the series rather than one suffix.
Finding your manual
Manuals are indexed by the full model identifier including the suffix after the slash. The manufacturer's own document CDN returned HTTP 530 to every automated request on repeated attempts, so for the older models the copy read is the retailer-hosted one — the same booklet, reached a different way. The manuals for the newer NA-series steam models are published on the manufacturer’s own asset host and linked from its product pages, and were read from there.
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.
How these models differ
5 models are held, across 3 kinds of machine. Each row is what that model’s own manual or specification prints, so a blank is the manufacturer’s silence and not a zero. The last two columns are the ones that differ most between siblings: settings one model has and the others do not, and what each manual says may go in a dishwasher.

Models we hold
- Philips Airfryer XXL HD9650 series — The originator's large single basket, and the source of the most complete cooking chart in this catalogue. Runs most foods at 180°C where others use 200°C.
- Philips Essential Airfryer HD9252/91 4.1L — The plain single-basket Philips, and the first one in this catalogue — which matters because Philips originated the category and AirfryerHQ held only its oven-shaped XXL.
- Philips Airfryer Series 5000 XXL HD9285/93 7.2L — The same manufacturer's table at nearly double the capacity, which is the cleanest published demonstration in the catalogue of what quantity does to time.
- Philips 5000 Series Dual Basket Airfryer with Steam NA555 — Two drawers that are not twins: the 6-litre one steams, the 3-litre one only air fries, and the manual prints a different cooking time for the same food in each.
- Philips 5000 Series Megabasket Airfryer with Steam NA565 — One large drawer with a removable divider — and the manual prints the same preset at two different times, depending on the wattage of the version you were sold.
