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
Problem | Possible cause | Solution |
---|---|---|
The Hot-air fryer does not work | The appliance is not plugged in. | Put the |
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.
