Introduction

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 hot air) and a top gnil 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.

Before first use

1. Remove all packaging materials.
2. Remove any stickers or labels from the appliance.
3. Thoroughly clean the basket and pan with hot water, washing detergent and a non-abrasive sponge. Note: All removable parts are dishwasher safe.
4. Wipe the inside and outside of the appliance with a damp cloth. This is an air fryer that works on hot air. DO NOT fill the pan with cooking oil or butter.

Preparing for use

1. Place the appliance on a heat-resistant, horizontal and level surface. DO NOT place the appliance on non-heat-resistant surfaces.
2. Place the food containing basket properly into the appliance.
3. Pull the mains cord and plug into the grounded wall socket. Do not fill the pan with cooking oil or butter. Do not put anything on top of the appliance. Do not put anything on the air-inlet on the two sides of the appliance, this will disrupt the airflow and affects the hot air frying result.

Using the appliance

The air fryer can cook a large range of ingredients. Please refer to the “settings” section.
Hot air frying

1. Put the mains plug into a grounded wall socket.

2. Carefully pull the basket out of the air fryer.

3. Put the ingredients in the basket.
   Note: Never fill the basket in full or exceed the recommended amount (see section ‘Settings’ in this chapter), as it will affect the quality of the cooking.

4. Place the basket back into the air fryer properly. If the basket cannot be placed into the air fryer properly, the appliance won’t work!
   Caution: Do not touch the basket during or immediately after use, as it gets very hot.
   Only hold the basket by the handle.

5. Turn the temperature control knob to the required temperature. See section “Settings’ in this chapter to determine the right temperature.

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

7. To switch on the appliance, turn the tinier knob to the required cooking time.
   Add 3 minutes to the cooking time when the appliance is cold.
   Note: You may also let the appliance preheat without any ingredients inside. In such case, set the timer knob to 3 minutes or more and wait until the heating-up light turns on (after approx. 3 minutes). Then fill the basket and set the timer knob to the required preparation time.
   A. The power-on light and the heating-up light go on.
   b. The timer starts counting down the cooking time set.
   c. During the air frying process, the heating-up light turns on and off from time to time. This indicates that the heating element is switched on and off to maintain the set temperature.
   d. Excess oil from the ingredients is collected on the bottom of the basket.

8. Some ingredients require shaking halfway through the preparation time (see section ‘Settings’ in this chapter). To shake the ingredients, pull the basket out of the appliance by the handle and shake it. Then place the basket into the appliance and continue cooking.
   Tip: If you set the timer to half the cooking time, you will hear the timer bell when you have to shake the ingredients. However, this means that you must set the timer again to the remaining cooking time after shaking.
   Tip: If you set the timer to full preparation time, there is no timer bell before the cooking program is finished. You may pull out the basket at any time to check the ingredients cooking condition, the power will shut down automatically and resume after the basket is placed back into the appliance (Note: Timer will count down in this situation continuously).

9. When you hear the timer bell, the cooking time has elapsed. Pull the basket 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 or pull out the basket directly.

10. Check if the ingredients are ready. If the ingredients are not well done, simply place the basket into the appliance again and set the timer for few minutes more.

11. Do not turn the basket upside down, it may have excess oil that has collected on the bottom.
    After air frying, the basket and the food are extremely hot. Do not touch at this moment. Depending on the type of ingredients cooked in the air fryer, steam may escape from the basket.

12. Empty the basket into a bowl or onto a plate.
    Tip: To remove large or delicate ingredients, use a pair of tongs to lift the food out of the basket

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

Settings
The table below helps you select the basic settings for the ingredients you want to cook. Note: Keep in mind these settings are recommendations only. As ingredients differ in origin, size, shape as well as brand, we cannot guarantee the best setting for your ingredients. Because the rapid hot air technology instantly reheats the air inside the appliance, pulling the basket slightly out of the appliance during hot air frying may interrupt the process.

Tips

• Small ingredients. like fries. usually require a slightly shorter cooking time than large ingredients.
• A large amount of ingredients only requires a slightly longer preparation time and vice versa.
• Shaking small ingredients halfway through the cooking process will optimize the end result and can help prevent unevenly fried ingredients.
• Mix some oil to fresh potatoes for a crispy result. Fry your ingredients in the air fryer promptly after the oil is mixed.
• Do not cook extremely greasy ingredients such as sausages in the air fryer.
• Snacks like chicken nuggets can also be cooked in the air fryer.
• The optimal amount for cooking crispy fries is 500 grams.
• Use pre-made dough to prepare filled snacks quickly and easily. Pre-made dough also requires a shorter cooking time than home-made dough.
• Place a baking tin 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.
• You can also use the air fryer to reheat ingredients. Please set the temperature to 150-C for up to 10 minutes.
