Preparation

In the baking accessory, shaped AS FLAT AS POSSIBLE — the manual is explicit that this is so the bread does not touch the heating element as it rises.

How to tell it is done

  • The loaf sounds hollow when tapped on the base
  • A skewer pushed into the centre comes out clean

What this does not cover

  • Published by the manufacturer for this model. It is evidence about this appliance and is not general advice.
  • The manual states that its settings are suggestions and that the reader should adjust for their own ingredients.
  • The table heads this row homemade bread and prints no other word about state. It is held as fresh on that word, which is the table's and not AirfryerHQ's.

    First read in August 2026 from a retailer-hosted copy of the January 2023 edition. The food table, preset table and warnings are unchanged between the two. The 2026 edition adds a section giving the settable temperature and time ranges and an ecodesign table of standby power, and names the app HomeID where the 2023 edition names it NutriU.

What usually goes wrong

The top of the loaf reaching the element. A rising dough in a shallow chamber has nowhere to go, and the published fix is the shape of the loaf rather than anything about the cooking — flat and wide rather than tall.

Running the appliance safely

The rules for the machine are the same whatever is in it: plug it straight into a wall socket, leave clear space round it, do not overfill it, do not leave it running unattended, and unplug it at black smoke or an electrical smell. They are set out once, each with its source and what to do if it has already happened, and not repeated on every food. Every rule for running an air fryer safely.

One of them is about this food and not the machine: Aim for a golden yellow colour or lighter on starchy foods such as chips and roast potatoes, rather than a darker brown.

Bread in fast-moving hot air

Baked bread has already lost its surface water once and set into a porous starch foam, so there is nothing to drive off before browning starts and browning starts almost immediately. That is why two minutes is a time and three minutes is a warning. In a basket machine there is a second problem the published grill figure does not have: a slice of bread is light, flat and exactly the shape a fan lifts, and it lands on the element. Anything toasted in a drawer machine needs weighing down or a rack over it. Dough is the opposite case: it has all its water still to lose, bakes cool and slow, and rises towards the element as it does, which is why the published loaf figures come with an instruction to shape it flat.
