PURPOSE OF USE

This air fryer is intended for standard household use only. It enables the cooking of two separate meals at the same time and is used for preparing fried and non-fried meals without any added oil or with a small amount of oil. It is suitable for preparing foods such as pre-fried or homemade French fries, potatoes, schnitzels, chicken thighs, fish pieces and fish fingers, vegetables and much more. The fryer can also be used for baking cookies, cupcakes, muffins, etc.
The fryer functions on the basis of hot air circulation. The meal is evenly cooked, has that freshly fried taste and is far healthier. Compared to foods fried in oil, it also has far less calories and cholesterol.
This air fryer is not intended for heating water, frying oil or other liquids.

BEFORE FIRST USE

Before first use, wash both of the frying baskets and the removable frying grates in warm water using a neutral kitchen detergent. Then rinse these parts with clean water and allow them to dry naturally or dry them out their using a wiping cloth. You may also wash the baskets and the grates in a dishwasher.
Wipe the external and internal surface of the air fryer using sponge lightly dipped in warm water. Then wipe it dry using a clean wiping cloth.

Warning:
Never submerge the air fryer and its power cord in water, do not clean these under running water or wash them in a dishwasher.
Only clean the power cord of the fryer unit using a dry wiping cloth.

OPERATING LOCATION

Position the fryer on a stable, horizontal, heat resistant surface. Always position it so that it remains out of the reach of children, while at the same time the power cord has sufficient length for connection to a power socket.
For operation, it is necessary to leave at least 15 cm on all sides of the fryer to enable sufficient air circulation. Do not place any items on to the fryer and do not cover the vents. This could impair the air current and affect the frying results.
After inserting the frying baskets into the air fryer, always orient the air fryer so that nobody can accidentally hit the basket handles and thereby knock the air fryer over.
Attention:
Do not place the fryer on or in the vicinity of flammable materials, for example table cloths or near drapes. Also do not place it in the vicinity of objects or under objects, which may be damaged by steam, for example walls and cupboards.
If you wish to place the air fryer on a cooktop underneath a range hood, ensure that the cooktop is turned off and cool.

PREPARING MEALS AND TIPS

This air fryer can be used for frying almost any type of meal, that is traditionally cooked in an oven, using hot air.
The best and most even frying results are achieved when the food pieces are of a similar size and thickness. Therefore, cut the food into pieces of the same size. Smaller food pieces require a shorter frying time than larger pieces.
To achieve the best possible result in the shortest possible time, fry the food in small batches. If possible, avoid excessive stacking and layering the food. If too much food is placed into the frying basket, air will not be able to flow freely and the food will not be crispy.
When layering the food, it is appropriate to shake it or turn food over during air frying to ensure even frying results.
If you intend to air fry larger meals, prepare these in multiple batches, not all at once. This is particularly important with French fries, diced vegetables and other small pieces, where you want them to be beautifully crisp.
If you want to air fry French fries, it is important that they are of equal length and thickness. This will ensure that they are all prepared at the same time with the same level of doneness. Also, pour a small amount of oil over the French fries before frying them as this will help them become brown and crispy.
Foods that release a large amount of fat, for example bacon, meat balls or hamburgers, may cause the air fryer to start emitting smoke. This is caused by the heating up of the fat accumulated in the frying basket. If this happens, slide the basket out of the fryer, carefully drain off the fat and simply continue air frying. Fat that is drained from certain foods can also be used for preparing sauces or for improving the flavour of your recipes.
When using lightweight spices, they may be blown off the surface of the food as a result of the circulation of hot air inside the air fryer. If you want to prevent this, mix the spices with oil and apply this mixture on to the food. The oil will enable the spices to remain on the food.
Remove excess ice from frozen foods.
When air frying fresh vegetables, ensure that they are thoroughly dry prior to air frying them.
When air frying foods coated in batter, use a dough with a thick and pasty consistency. Light batters may drip off and will not be fried sufficiently quickly as is the case with a standard oil deep fryer.
Coating food coated in batter with breadcrumbs or puffed rice and subsequently spraying it with oil will help to achieve a crispy and healthier form of your favourite fried foods.

INSERTING FOOD

Press the release button on the handle of one of the frying baskets and pull the handle to slide the basket out of the air fryer. Repeat the same procedure also with the other basket.
You can place food on to the frying grate inside the basket. Another option is to place the food on the bottom of the basket and to place the grate on top of it and then add another layer of food.
Never overfill the frying basket. It is most advantageous when the basket is filled up to approx. 2/3 of its capacity, which ensures proper air circulation and properly cooked food.

Warning:
This fryer functions on the basis of hot air. Therefore, never fill it with oil, shortening or any other liquid.
Also, do not place backing parchment paper into it.

If you wish to add a little oil to your food, mix in the oil in a separate bowl and only then tip it into the frying basket.
After filling, clean the top edge of the basket and any other parts, which have been soiled while the frying basket was being filled.
Insert the filled frying basket(s) back into the air fryer. If you do not insert the basket in properly, it will not be possible to start the fryer. At the same time, always respect the markings on the baskets and insert basket (L) in the left bay and basket (R) in the right bay.

Note:
Both baskets must be inserted inside the air fryer even if one of them is empty. The air fryer will not start without both baskets inserted.

TURNING ON

Insert the power plug into a power socket. The fryer will beep and the button will be lit on the panel. Thereby, the air fryer is in stand-by mode.

Note:
The air fryer will also enter the stand-by mode if you do not start it by pressing the button within 5 minutes of setting a program or making a manual temperature/ time setting.

Subsequently pressing the flashing button will result in another beep and all the buttons on the panel will be lit. Thereby, the air fryer enters the stand-by mode.

To adjust the time, use the [+] or [–] buttons above and below the word TIME on the right side of the panel. Each time the button is pressed, the time will increase or decrease by 1 minute. The DEHYDRATE program is an exception, for which time is set in 1-hour increments. Pressing and holding down the selected button will speed up the time setting. You can set the time in the range 01:00 – 60:00 minutes.
When adjusting temperature/time while the fryer is running, it is not necessary to pause it using the button. Simply adjust the required parameter even while it is running.

STARTING, PAUSING AND RESUMING AIR FRYING

After selecting a program and possible adjusting the time/ temperature, press the button to start air frying.
The air frying process that is running can be stopped at any time by pressing the button. The countdown and the motor will stop. To resume the air frying process, press the button.
The air frying process will stop even when one of the frying baskets is pulled out during operation. The air fryer is equipped with a contact switch that monitors the state of the baskets (inserted/pulled out) and immediately stops all activity of the air fryer when a basket is pulled out. When the baskets are properly inserted, operation will resume.

Note:
If a pulled out basket is not inserted back into the air fryer within 5 minutes, the air fryer will switch to the stand-by mode.

HOW TO USE THE FRYING BASKETS

The frying baskets can be used as follows:
– separately, i.e. food is prepared in one basket while the other remains unused.
– independently, i.e.a different program is used for each basket with different time/temperature settings.
– independently with synchronised completion, i.e. a different program and different time/temperature setting are used for each basket, but the air fryer synchronises the completion time.
– simultaneously, i.e. both baskets are used with the same program with the same the time/temperature settings
Attention:
The frying baskets are marked with symbols [L] for the left basket, [R] for the right basket. For the air fryer to function properly, it is necessary for both the baskets to be inserted into the correct frying area inside the air fryer.
