DESCRIPTION

USING THE APPLIANCE

Your new air fryer allows you to prepare your favorite ingredients and snacks in a healthier way.
The air fryer uses hot air in combination with high-speed air circulation (Rapid Air) and a top grill to prepare a variety of tasty dishes in a healthy, fast and easy way, Your  ingredients are heated from all sides at once and there is no need to add oil to most of the ingredients, with the additional baking tray, you can now make dishes like cakes and  quiches and cook fragile food in a more convenient way.

BEFORE FIRST USE

1. Remove all packaging material.

2. Remove any stickers or labels from the appliance.

3. Thoroughly clean the basket and pan with hot water, some washing-up liquid and a non-abrasive sponge.
   Note: You can also clean these parts in the dishwasher.

4. Wipe the inside and outside of the appliance with a moist cloth.
   This is an air fryer that works on hot air. Do not fill the pan with oil or frying fat.

PREPARING FOR USE

1. Place the appliance on a stable, horizontal and level surface. Do not place the appliance on non-heat-resistant surfaces.
2. Place the basket in the pan properly (Fig.3).
3. Take out the power cord. Do not fill the pan with oil or any other liquid. Do not put anything on top of the appliance. This disrupts the airflow and affects the hot air  frying result.

USING THE APPLIANCE
The air fryer can prepare a large range of ingredients. The recipe booklet included helps you get to know the appliance.
HOT AIR FRYING

1. Put the mains in an earthed wall socket.

2. Carefully pull the pan out of the air fryer (Fig. 4).

3. Put the ingredients in the basket (Fig. 5).
   NOTE: Never fill the basket beyond the MAX indication or exceed the amount indicated in the table (see section ‘Settings’ in this chapter), as this could affect the quality of  the end result.
   Make sure you check the preparation time and the temperature required for the different ingredients before you start to prepare them simultaneously. Potato cubes and schnitzel, for example, can be prepared simultaneously because they require the same settings. Please note that the maximum amount for each of the ingredients is half  the normal amount (Fig.6).

4. Slide the pan back into the air fryer (Fig. 7). Never use the pan without the bakset in it.
   Caution: Do not touch the pan during and sometime after use, as it gets very hot. Only hold the pan by the handle.

5. Turn the temperature control knob to the required temperature. See section ‘Settings’ in this chapter to determine the right temperature (Fig.8).

6. Determine the required preparation time for the ingredient. (see section ’Settings’ in this chapter).

7. To switch on the appliance, turn the timer knob to the required preparation time (Fig. 9).
   Add 3 minutes to the preparation time when the appliance is cold.
   Note: If you want, you can also let the appliance preheat without any ingredients inside.
   In that case, turn the timer knob to more than 3 minutes and wait until the heating-up light goes out (after approx. 3minutes). Then fill the basket and turn the timer  knob to the required preparation time.
   • The power-on light and heating-up light go on (Fig 10).
   • The timer strats counting down the set preparation time.
   • During the hot air frying process, the heating-up light comes on and goes out from time to time. This indicates that the heating elemnt is switched on and off to maintain the set temperature.

8. Some ingredients 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. Then slide the pan back into the air fryer (Fig.11).
   Caution: Do not press the basket release button during shaking (Fig.12).
   Tip: To reduce the weight, you can remove the basket from the pan and shake the basket only. To do so, pull the pan out of the appliance, place it on a heat-resistant surface and press the basket release button.
   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.

9. When you hear the timer bell, the set preparation time has elapsed. Pull the pan out of the appliance and place it on a heat-resistant surface.
   Note: You can also switch off the appliance manually. To do this, turn the temperature control knob to 0 (Fig.13).

10. Check if the ingredients are ready. If the ingredients are not ready yet, simply slide the pan back into the appliance and set the timer to a few extra minutes.

11. To remove small ingredients (e.g. fries), press the basket release button (1) and lift the basket out of the pan (2) (Fig. 14).
    Do not turn the basket upside down with the pan still attached to it, as any excess oil that has collected on the bottom of the pan will leak onto the ingredients.
    After hot air frying, the pan and the ingredients are hot. Depending on the type of ingredients in the air fryer, steam may escape from the pan.

12. Empty the basket into a bowl or onto a plate (Fig. 15).
    Tip: To remove large or fragile ingredients, use a pair of tongs to lift the ingredients out of the basket (Fig. 16).

13. When a batch of ingredients is ready, the air fryer is instantly ready for preparing another batch.

Settings
This table below helps you to select the basic settings for the ingredients you want to prepare.
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 briefly out of the appliance during hot air frying barely disturbs the process.

Tips

• Smaller ingredients usually require a slightly shorter preparation time than larger ingredients.
• A larger amount of ingredients only requires a slightly longer preparation time, a smaller amount of ingredients only requires a slightly shorter preparation time.
• Shaking smaller ingredient halfway through the preparation time optimizes the end result and can help prevent unevenly fried ingredients.
• Do not prepare extremely greasy ingredients such as sausages in the air fryer.
• Snacks that can be prepared in an oven can also be prepared in the air fryer.
• The optimal amount for preparing crispy fries 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 the baking tray or oven dish in the air fryer basket if you want to bake a cake or quiche or if you want to fry fragile ingredients or filled ingredients (Fig. 17).
• You can also use the air fryer to reheat ingredients. To reheat ingredients, set the temperature to 150˚C for up to10 minutes.
• Note: When you use ingredients that rise (such as with cake, quiche or muffins) the baking tray should not be filled more than halfway.
