Notes
The paddle is attached to a long perpendicular bar. You insert both together into the machine. As the paddle turns, it pushes food over the bar: the bar aids in causing food to tumble over itself.
To assemble for use: You place a rotating ring (the “bowl roller”) inside the machine, then the cooking pan on top of that rotating ring, then you insert the paddle / paddle bar.
Other
No preheating needed. Has roasting rack that is reversible for two different heights. Bowl, rack and paddle are dishwasher safe. You cannot, however, remove the lid; it is permanently attached.
There are user complaints that the paddle design causes French fries (aka chips) made from scratch to get stuck and then mashed up. They report that frozen fries don’t seem to have the same issue. Many report simply not using the paddle and turning the fries themselves.
Some users report that the paddle scrapes a circle of coating off the pan.
The internal light during cooking is the Halogen bulb heat source; it will turn itself on and off during cooking as required to maintain heat.
Should cook enough food for 2 to 4 people.
There are no user replaceable parts. According to Breville, if anything in the machine fails, including the halogen bulb burning out, the machine as a whole must be returned for servicing.
