Using the appliance

Hot air frying

1.  Connect the mains plug into an earthed wall socket.

   Ensure the pan is aligned with the guides in the body of the fryer.
   Caution: Do not touch the pan during cooking and some time after use, as it gets very hot. Only hold the pan by the handle. Use of oven gloves is recommended.

5. Determine the required preparation time for the food ( see section ‘Settings’ in this chapter).

6. Some foods require shaking halfway through the preparation time (see section “Settings” in this chapter). To shake the ingredients, pull the pan out of the appliance by the handle and shake it from side to side. Then slide the pan back into the fryer
   Tip: If you set the timer to half the preparation time, you hear the timer bell when you have to shake the ingredients. However, this means that you have to set the timer again to the remaining preparation time after shaking.

7. When you hear the timer bell, the set preparation time has elapsed. Pull the pan out of the appliance and place it on a cooling rack.

8. Check if the food is cooked.
   If the food is not ready yet, simply slide the pan back into the appliance and set the timer to a few extra minutes.
   CAUTION: The pan and the food are hot. Depending on the type of food in the fryer, steam may escape from the pan.

9. Empty the pan into a bowl or onto a plate.
   Tip: To remove large or fragile foods, lift the ingredients out of the pan using a pair of tongs

Settings
The table below will help you to select the basic settings for the foods.
Note: Keep in mind that these settings are indications. As ingredients differ in origin, size, shape as well as brand, we cannot guarantee the best setting for your ingredients.
Because the Rapid Air technology instantly reheats the air inside the appliance pulling the pan out briefly during hot air frying barely disturbs the process.

Tips

• Smaller foods usually require a slightly shorter preparation time than larger ingredients.
• A larger amount of food only requires a slightly longer preparation time, a smaller amount of food only requires a slightly shorter preparation time.
• Shaking smaller food halfway through the preparation time optimizes the end result and can help prevent unevenly fried food.
• Add some oil to fresh potatoes for a crispy result. Fry your ingredients in the air fryer within a few minutes after adding the oil.
• Snacks that can be prepared in an oven can also be prepared in the -air fryer
• The optimal amount for preparing crispy chips is 500 grams.
• Use pre-made dough to prepare filled snacks quickly and easily. Pre-made dough also requires a shorter preparation time than home-made dough.
• Place a baking tin or oven dish in the air fryer pan if you want to bake a cake or quiche or if you want to fry fragile foods or filled foods.
• You can also use the air fryer to reheat food. To reheat food, set the temperature to 150℃ for up to 10 minutes.

Troubleshooting

mains plug in an earthed wall socket.
| You have not set the timer.| Use the Timer Setting arrows to set required

time

The food fried with the air fryer is not cooked.| The amount of food in the pan is too big.| Put smaller batches of food in the pan. Smaller batches are fried more evenly.
| The set temperature is too low.| Use the Temperature Setting arrows to set required temperature then cook for a few more

minutes

| The preparation time is too short.| Use the Timer Setting arrows to adjust required time then cook for a few more minutes
The food is fried unevenly in the air fryer.| Certain types of food need to be shaken halfway through the preparation time.| Food that lies on top of or across each other (e.g. chips) need to be shaken halfway through the preparation time. See section ‘Settings’ in

chapter ‘Using the appliance’.

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 pan.| Do not fill the pan beyond the MAX indication. Remove any excess then try again.
White smoke comes out of the appliance.| You are preparing greasy ingredients.| When you fry greasy ingredients in the air fryer, a large amount of oil will leak into the pan. The oil produces white smoke and the pan may heat up more than usual. This does not affect the

appliance or the end result.

| The pan still contains grease 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.
Home-made chips are fried unevenly in the air

fryer.

| You did not use the right potato type.| Use fresh potatoes and make sure they stay firm during frying.
| You did not rinse the potato sticks properly before you fried them.| Rinse the potato sticks properly to remove starch from the outside of the sticks.
Home-made chips are not crispy when they come out of the air

fryer.

| 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 add the oil.
| | Cut the potato sticks smaller for a crispier

result.

| | Add slightly more oil for a crispier result.

Cleaning

Clean the appliance after every use.
The pan and metal rack have non-stick coating. Do not use metal kitchen utensils or abrasive cleaning materials to clean them, as this may damage the non-stick coating.

1. Remove the mains plug from the wall socket and let the appliance cool down.
   Note: Remove the pan to let the air fryer cool down more quickly.

2. Wipe the outside of the appliance with a moist cloth.
   You can use washing up liquid to remove any remaining dirt.
   Tip: If dirt is stuck to the metal rack or the bottom of the pan, fill the pan with hot water with some washing-up liquid. Put the metal rack in the pan and let the pan and the basket soak for approximately 10 minutes.

3. Clean the inside of the appliance with hot water and non-abrasive sponge.

4. Clean the heating element with a cleaning brush to remove any food residues.

Storage

1. Unplug the appliance and let it cool down.
2. Make sure all parts are clean and dry.
