Making home-made fries

For the best results, we advise to use pre-baked fries. If you want to make home-made fries, follow the steps below:

1. Peel the potatoes and cut them into sticks.

2. Soak the potato sticks in a bowl of water for at least 30 minutes, take them out and dry them with kitchen paper.

3. Pour 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil in a bowl, put the sticks on top and mix until the sticks are coated with oil.

4. Remove the sticks from the bowl with your fingers or a kitchen utensil so that excess oil stays behind in the bowl. Put the sticks in the tray.
   Note: Do not tilt the bowl to put all the sticks in the tray in one go, to prevent excess oil from collecting at the bottom of the basket.

5. Fry the potato sticks according to the instructions in this chapter.

Cleaning

Clean the appliance after every use.
The basket, tray and the inside of the appliance have a non-stick coating. Do not use metal kitchen utensils or abrasive cleaning materials to clean them, as this may damage the nonstick coating.
1. Remove the mains plug from the wall socket and let the appliance cool down.
Note: Remove the basket to let the air fryer cool down more quickly.
2. Wipe the outside of the appliance with a moist cloth.
3. Clean the basket and tray with hot water, some washing liquid soap and a non-abrasive sponge.
You can use a washing liquid to remove any remaining dirt. Note: The basket and tray are dishwasher-proof.
Tip: If dirt is stuck to the tray, or at the bottom of the basket, fill the basket with hot water and with some washing liquid soap. Put the tray in the basket and let the basket and the tray soak for approximately 10 minutes.
1. Clean the inside of the appliance with hot water and a non-abrasive sponge.
2. Clean the heating element with a cleaning brush to remove any food residues.

Troubleshooting

the mains plug in an earthed wall socket.
| You have not set the timer.| Turn the timer knob to the required Preparation time to switch on the appliance.
The ingredients fried with the air fryer are not done.| The amount of the ingredients in the tray is too much.| Put smaller batches of ingredients in the tray. Smaller batches are fried more evenly.

The ingredients are fried unevenly in the air fryer.| Certain types of the ingredients need to be shaken halfway through the preparation time. | Ingredients that lie on top of or across each other (e.g. fries) need to be shaken halfway through the preparation time (see section ‘Settings’).
Fried snacks are not crispy when they come out of the air fryer| You used a type of snacks meant to be prepared in a traditional deep fryer.| Use oven snacks or lightly brush some oil onto the snacks for a crispier result.
I cannot slide the pan into the appliance properly.| There is too much food in the tray.| Do not fill the tray beyond the Max amount indicated in the table on the earlier page.
| The tray is not placed in the pan correctly. | Push the tray down into the pan until you hear a click.
White smoke comes out of the appliance| You are preparing greasy ingredients.| Pay attention that the temperature is well-controlled to be under 180℃, when you fry greasy ingredients in the air fryer.
| The pan still contains greasy residues from previous use.| White smoke is caused by grease heating up in the pan. Make sure you clean the pan properly after each use.
Fresh potato fries are fried unevenly in the air fryer.| You did not soak the potato sticks properly before you fried them.| Soak the potato sticks in a bowl of water for at least 30 minutes; take them out and dry them with kitchen paper.
| You did not use the right potato type. | Use fresh potatoes and make sure they stay firm during frying.
Fresh potato fries are not crispy when they come out of the airfryer.| The crispiness of the fries depends on the amount of oil and water in the fries.| Make sure you dry the potato sticks properly before you coat them with oil.
| | Cut the potato into thinner sticks for a crispier result.
| | Add slightly more oil for a crispier result.
