What This Product Is Used For
The Tower T17100 Vortx Vizion is a dual basket air fryer designed for air frying, roasting, baking and grilling everyday meals.

Use the grill function and crisper grill plate for foods such as steaks. Use the bake function for cakes, tarts or pies. Clean the baskets after use so the appliance stays reliable for regular cooking.
