Settings

The table below will help you select the basic settings for the ingredients.
Note: Keep in mind that these settings are indicative only. As ingredients differ in origin, size, shape, and brand, we cannot guarantee the best settings for your ingredients.
Because the rapid air technology instantly reheats the air inside the appliance, briefly pulling the pot out of the appliance during hot air frying will barely disturb the process

Tips:

1. Smaller ingredients usually require a slightly shorter preparation time than larger ingredients.
2. A larger amount of ingredients only requires a slightly longer preparation time, a smaller amount of ingredients only requires a slightly shorter preparation time.
3. Shaking smaller ingredients halfway through the preparation time optimizes the final result and can help prevent unevenly fried ingredients.
4. Add some oil to fresh potatoes for a crispy result. Fry your ingredients in the air fryer within a few minutes after you have added the oil.
5. Do not prepare extremely greasy ingredients such as sausages in the air fryer.
6. Snacks that can be prepared in an oven can also be prepared in the air fryer.
7. The optimal amount for preparing crispy fries is 500 grams.
8. Use pre-made dough to prepare filled snacks quickly and easily. Pre-made dough also requires a shorter preparation time than home-made dough.
9. Place a baking tin or oven dish in the air fryer pot if you want to bake a cake or quiche or if you want to fry delicate ingredients or dishes with filling or stuffing.

Troubleshooting

of ingredients (of recommended size).
The temperature is too low.| Adjust the temperature accordingly.
The appliance was not pre- heated.| Set the time to required preparation time .
The ingredients are fried unevenly.| Certain types of ingredients need to be shaken halfway when cooking.| Ingredients that lie on top of or across each other (e.g., fries) need to be shaken halfway through the preparation time.
Fried snacks are not crispy when they come out of the air fryer.| Used the type of snacks intended for preparation in a traditional deep fryer.| Use oven snacks or lightly brush some oil onto the snacks for a crispier result.
Cannot slide the pan into the appliance properly.| Too much ingredients in the pot.| Do not fill the pan beyond the MAX indication.
The pot is not placed in the pot correctly.| Push the pot down into the appliance until you hear a click.
White smoke comes out of the appliance.| Cooking greasy ingredients.| When cooking greasy ingredients, a large amount of oil will leak into the pot. The oil produces white smoke, and the pot may heat up more than usual. This does not affect the appliance or the final result.
The pot was not cleaned after the last cooking.| White  smoke  is  caused  by grease heating up in the pan. Make sure you clean the pan properly after each use.
Fresh fries are fried unevenly.| Did not use the right potato type.| Use fresh potatoes and make sure they stay firm during cooking.
Did not rinse the potato sticks properly before cooking.| Rinse the potato sticks properly to remove starch from the outside of the sticks.
Fresh fries are not crispy.| The crispiness of the fries depends on the amount of oil and water in the fries.| Make sure you dry the potato sticks properly.
Cut the potato sticks smaller for a crispier result.
Brush some oil for a crispier result.
