Useful hints for air-frying

You can prepare your food using the basic automatic programme settings, or adjust the settings according to your own requirements.
Note that the cooking times listed are only approximate. Depending on the type of food, the cooking times and temperatures may have to be adjusted.
With larger quantities, the cooking time increases. We recommend frequent turning of the food.
Tip!
When preparing frozen pizza, the pizza must be turned halfway through to ensure even cooking.
If the food turns out too dark, try lowering the temperature first, before shortening the cooking times.
For nutritious, healthy deep-frying we recommend to use a temperature setting of no higher than 170 °C when deep-frying amylaceous food, i.e. food with a higher-than-average starch content. With the reduced frying temperature, and with an equally reduced amount of food in the frying basket, the build-up of substances detrimental to health is limited to a minimum.

Cleaning and care

Before cleaning, always unplug the appliance and allow the low fat fryer to cool down thoroughly.
Caution: To avoid the risk of electric shock, do not clean the outside of the fryer or its power cord with any liquids and do not immerse either of them in water.
Do not use sharp or abrasive cleaning agents to avoid scratching the housing and the non-stick coating on the frying basket and drip tray.
Clean all removable inserts in the rinsing water and dry thoroughly or clean in the dishwasher.
Wipe the housing and the cooking chamber with a damp cloth.

Removing the door door

The appliance door can be removed for easier cleaning.
To do this, open the door.
Slide the slider on the door hinge (OPEN) to the left and remove the door upwards.
Wipe the door with a damp cloth. Do not immerse in water!
Replace the dry door.
The unit cannot be switched on without the door.
