The clever combination of fast-circulating, hot air and a heating element not only ensures that your food is cooked quickly and gently, but also requires much less fat and energy than conventional devices. You can thus cook your favourite frozen chips without any extra fat. In addition, you can choose from seven more cooking methods.
If you have any questions about the device and about spare parts/accessories, please contact the customer service department via our website: www.ds- group.de/kundenservice

ACCESSORIES

Drawer
The food is prepared in the drawer (6).
It must be inserted in the cooking chamber (7) when the device is put into operation.
Insert Rack
The insert rack (3) should be inserted in the drawer (6) when the device is in use so that the food can be cooked evenly.
A small casserole or baking tin can also be placed on the insert rack for baking.

FUNCTIONS

Programmes
The device has 8 preset programmes. To select a programme, touch the respective symbol (17) on the control panel (2). The symbol flashes and the time and temperature of the programme can be manually adjusted or another programme can be selected.
To start the device, touch the symbol (18).
The symbols represent the following preset programmes:

Symbol	Programme	Temperature
Chips	200°C	20 min
Steak	185°C	25 min
Fish	200°C	15 min
Shrimps	160°C	12 min
Chicken wings	185°C	40 min
Cake	175°C	30 min
Chicken	200°C	30 min
Dehydrating	30°C	4 hours

The times and temperatures which are set for the programmes should be adjusted if necessary to ensure that the food (in particular poultry) is fully cooked. Adjustments can also be made during the cooking process.

Adjusting the Temperature and Cooking Time
The set temperature and cooking time are shown alternately on the display (12). The preset values are 185°C and 15 minutes.
The temperature (10) and the cooking time (11) can be adjusted both without using a preset programme and when a programme is chosen:
Touch the symbol (18), then touch the respective symbol / (9 / 20 or 15 / 16) to adjust the temperature or cooking time.
To scroll through the values quickly, press and hold down the respective symbol.

Standby Mode
When you touch the symbol (18) for approx. 2 sec., the control panel (2) is activated.
If the device is not operating and no button is touched for 30 seconds, the device switches to standby mode.

BEFORE INITIAL USE

Please Note!

Do not use any sharp or abrasive cleaning agents or cleaning pads to clean the device. These may damage the surfaces.

The device should be used for the first time without any food in it as it may produce some smoke or odours due to coating residues. To do this, follow the instructions in the “Set-Up and Connection” and “Use” chapters.
Allow the device to heat up on the highest temperature setting (200°C) for approx. 10 minutes without any food in it.
After it has cooled down, clean the device and the accessories (see the “Cleaning and Storage” chapter).

SET-UP AND CONNECTION

Please Note!

Check the device and the connecting cable for damage each time before putting it into operation. The device should only be used when it is undam- aged and in working order.
Never place the device on a soft surface. The ventilation openings on the bottom of the device must not be covered.
Ensure there is sufficient clear space on all sides. Do not place the device below kitchen wall units or similar cupboards. The rising steam could cause damage to them!
Only connect the device to a plug socket that is properly installed and matches the technical data of the device. The plug socket must also be readily accessible after connection so that the connection to the mains can quickly be isolated.

Place the device on the kitchen unit or another dry, clean, flat and heat- resistant work surface. Ensure there is sufficient clear space on all sides (at least 20 cm to the sides and 50 cm above).
Fully unwind the connecting cable and plug the mains plug into a plug socket. The symbols on the control panel (2) light up briefly and a beep is heard. The symbol (18) lights up constantly and the device is in standby mode.

USE

This device operates with hot air. It is not a conventional fryer in which food is deep-fried using lots of oil! In general, you can use this device to prepare all dishes that can also be prepared in a conventional fan oven. For good results, read through the “Tips” chapter.

Please Note!

Do not leave the device switched on when it is empty (apart from “burning off” prior to first use).
Do not place food that is still packed in plastic wrap or plastic bags in the device.
Make sure that the food does not come into contact with the heating element of the device.
Make sure that foodstuffs containing oil and fats are not overheated. They could ignite.
Do not overfill the drawer so that the hot air can circulate optimally inside the cooking chamber. Fill it no more than 2/3 full.
Always place the hot accessories down on a heat-resistant surface after use.
Do not use the device if it has malfunctioned, fallen or been dropped into water. Have it checked in a specialist workshop before using it again.

Basic Use

Touch the symbol to start the cooking process.
The heating control lamps (19) flash; if a programme is selected, the corresponding symbol (17) also flashes.
The set temperature and the remaining time are shown alternately on the display (12).
The heating control lamps go out as soon as the set temperature has been reached.
Once the set time has elapsed, the cooking process is automatically ended. A beep is heard, the heating control lamps flash and the display shows OFF. The fan continues to run for a few more seconds.
Pull the drawer out of the cooking chamber by the handle (5) and place it down on a heat-resistant surface.
Take the food out of the drawer.
Disconnect the device from the mains power.
After it has cooled down, clean the device and the accessories (see the “Cleaning and Storage” chapter).

Briefly Pausing the Cooking Process
If the cooking process is to be paused to turn the ingredients or add further ingredients, for example, briefly touch (18) or pull the drawer (6) out of the cooking chamber.
The heating process is interrupted and the symbol flashes. When the drawer is pulled out, the control panel (2) goes out.
To resume the heating process, slide the drawer all the way back into the cooking chamber and touch again if necessary.
Ending the Cooking Process Prematurely
To end the cooking process before the set cooking time elapses, touch for approx. 2 sec. until OFF appears on the display. Then touch again for approx.
2 sec. to confirm the cancellation.

TIPS

Generally no oil or only a small amount of oil (2 to 3 teaspoons) is required for preparing food.
The cooking time is dependent on the size and quantity of the food and on the temperature. However, in general the cooking time is shorter than in aconventional oven. Until you are properly familiar with the device, startwith a shorter cookingtime and gradually increase it if required. Check the condition of the food being cooked from time to time.
Mix the food around from time to time or turn it with tongs to obtain an even cooking result.
When preparing mass-produced frozen products, you should follow the times and temperatures specified by the manufacturer. Before the specified cooking time elapses, check whether the food is already cooked through.

CLEANING AND STORAGE

Please Note!

Allow the device to cool down for at least 30 minutes before cleaning it.
Never spray hot water onto the hot accessories to prevent material damage.

Wipe down the outside of the main unit (1) and the cooking chamber (7) and the heating element with a clean, damp cloth if necessary.
Do not clean in the dishwasher or immerse in water!
Clean the insert rack (3) with detergent and warm water or in the dishwasher.
