SWITCHING OFF THE APPLIANCE

COOKING TIPS

• Preheating (PREHEAT) the fryer appliance before adding food will generally ensure the best cooking results.
• By shaking or turning the food (SHAKE) halfway through the cooking time, you will achieve even browning. Shaking usually requires smaller foods that are stacked, such as chips or nuggets.
• Make sure the meat has reached a safe cooking temperature.
• An air fryer works much like a toaster oven; follow the preparation instructions on the package or in the oven recipe.
• Smaller pieces of food usually require slightly less cooking time than larger pieces.
• When cooking multiple batches in a row, preheat only the first batch.
• Soak fresh potato fries in water for 15 minutes to remove starch before frying. Then pat the fries dry and mix with 1 tablespoon of oil to make them crispier.
• To get a crispier surface, we recommend spraying/mixing the food with classic table oil.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

NEVER immerse the cable, plug or appliance in water or any other liquid.

• Clean the appliance after each use.
• Before cleaning, unplug the appliance and let it cool down completely.
• We recommend cleaning the appliance immediately after it cools down, before food residues dry out.
• Wipe the base of the appliance and the exterior with a damp cloth.
• Removable parts that are intended for contact with food can be washed in a dishwasher, but we still recommend hand washing for longer protection (durability) of the non-stick surface.
• To maintain the non-stick layer as long as possible, do not use sharp or metal objects, abrasive cleaning materials or rough sponges and wire brushes.
• Wash these parts under warm running water with the addition of neutral kitchen detergent and a soft sponge. Then rinse them with clean water, dry them properly and put them back in their place.
