P REHEATING TIP:
Add an extra 3 minutes to your cooking time when you start frying while the air fryer is still cold.

TIPS

Smaller ingredients usually require a slightly shorter preparation time than larger ingredients.
Shaking smaller ingredients halfway through the preparation time optimises the end result and can help prevent unevenly fried ingredients.
Brush a little oil onto fresh potatoes for an even crispier result.
Food that can be prepared in a 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.
Place a baking liner or an oven safe dish in the air fryer basket if you want to bake a cake or quiche or if you want to fry foods with fillings that may leak out during the cooking process.
You can also use the air fryer to reheat ingredients. To reheat ingredients, set the temperature to 150oC for up to 10 minutes

CLEANING THE DRAWERS AND GRILL PLATES

WARNING: Do not immerse the appliance in water or any other liquid.

Clean the main unit, drawer and grill plate after every use. DO NOT allow food residues to dry on. Food residue could start to burn and possibly cause faults.

Unplug the appliance from the mains and let the appliance cool down.
NOTE : Remove the drawer to let the air fryer cool down more quickly.
Wipe the outside of the appliance with a damp cloth. You can use degreasing liquid to remove any remaining dirt.
Clean the drawer and grill plate with washing liquid and warm water. In the case of stubborn dirt, soak them in warm water and washing up liquid before cleaning.

NOTE: Do not use metal kitchen utensils or caustic or abrasive cleaning materials or
scouring sponges to clean them, as this may damage the non-stick coating.

Tip: If dirt is stuck to the the bottom of the basket, fill the basket with a little hot water with some washing-up liquid and allow to soak on the side.

NOTE: Allow all parts to air dry completely or dry with a tea towel before reusing or storing.
