11.3.1 Cooking Tips

• Cooking times may be affected by the size of ingredients (e.g. smaller sizes require shorter cooking times).
• A light brushing of olive oil or vegetable oil over ingredients works well for air frying.
• Brush potatoes in oil before cooking to get a crispy result.
• Always pat food dry before cooking to encourage browning and avoid excess smoke.
• The optimal amount of potato for preparing crispy fries is 400 grams.
• Place a baking tin or oven dish in the frying tank if you want to bake a cake, quiche, or protect fragile ingredients.
• To reheat food, set the temperature to 150 °C for up to 10 minutes.
• Do not overfill the frying tank (e.g. more than 2/3 full).
• Some foods need to be shaken vigorously or turned over during cooking time. See “cooking chart”.
• To avoid excess smoke when cooking naturally high-fat foods (e.g. chicken wings, sausages) it may be necessary to empty fat from the frying basket between batches.
• Cook breaded ingredients in small batches. Pressing the breading onto the surface helps it adhere.
• Encourage airflow around all surfaces by arranging pieces so that they are not touching each other.

11.4 Overheat protection
If the temperature gets too hot, the overheating protection system will trigger and shut the power OFF.
If this happens:

1. Disconnect the product from the power supply.
2. Allow the product to cool down completely.
3. Reconnect the product to the power supply.
4. Resume use.

Troubleshooting

■   Turn the timer/power dial to the required cooking time.
Ingredients not fully cooked| ■   Cook smaller batches of ingredients.
■   Increase the time and/or temperature setting.
Uneven frying| ■   Ingredients that overlap each other (e.g. fries) should be shaken halfway through the preparation time.
■   French fries should be pre-soaked and dried (e.g. strained and pat dry using kitchen towels) before cooking.
Food not crispy enough| ■   Check that the ingredients are suitable for oven cooking.
■   Brush a light coating of oil over the ingredients.
■   Fries may need to be cut into thinner pieces
White smoke is coming out| ■   Oil from greasy ingredients will leak into the pan. When the oil heats up white smoke is emitted. This does not affect the product or the result.
■   Remove excess oil between the frying tank and cooking tray after each use.
