Note

• As ingredients differ in origin, size, shape, and brand, we cannot guarantee the best setting for the ingredients that you are using. If necessary, change the times and/or temperature values to adjust the cooking to the type of ingredient.
• Add approximately 3 minutes to the cooking time indicated in the table if you start frying with the air fryer still cold. Add 5 minutes to the timer if you use both compartments simultaneously.

Tips

• Smaller ingredients require a shorter preparation time than larger ones.
• A larger quantity of ingredients only requires a slightly longer preparation time, and a smaller quantity of ingredients only requires a slightly shorter preparation time.
• Stirring small ingredients during the frying process optimises the result and can help preventing unevenly fried ingredients.
• Do not use the air fryer to fry greasy food (such as sausages).
• Food that can be cooked in an oven can also be cooked with the air fryer.
• Pre-made dough requires a shorter preparation time than home-made dough.
• You can also use the appliance to re-heat ingredients.
• It is advisable to flip the food during cooking.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

• After cooking, remove the plug from the socket and allow the basket to cool down. You can remove the basket to allow it to cool down faster. Place it on a heat-resistant surface.
• Clean the appliance after every use. Do not use metal cookware or abrasive cleaning materials for cleaning to avoid damaging the non-stick coating.
• If dirt is stuck to the bottom of the rack, pour in hot water, let it soak for about 10 minutes, and add a little detergent to clean with a non-abrasive sponge.
• If you need to clean the air outlet, clean it with a clean brush after the appliance has cooled down completely.

TROUBLESHOOTING

If you experience any problem with the appliance or you think it does not work properly, you can carry out a few simple checks before calling the official Cecotec Customer Service.

The air fryer does not work.

| The appliance is not plugged in.| Plug the appliance to an earthed outlet.
You haven’t set the timer.| Set the timer for the appliance to start working.

Ingredients fried with the air fryer are not well cooked.

|

The basket is too full.

| Put smaller batches of ingredients in the basket. Smaller batches are more evenly fried.

The set temperature is too low.

| Set the temperature as desired (see the ‘Operation – Operating instructions’ section).
The preparation time is too short.| Set the timer to the desired cooking time (see ‘Operation – Operating instructions’ section).

The ingredients are unevenly fried.

| Some ingredients should be stirred or flipped over halfway through cooking.|

Ingredients that are one on top of each other (e.g., chips) should be stirred halfway through cooking.

Fried snacks are not crispy when they come out of the air fryer.|

The snack used isn’t suitable for air frying.

|

Use food with a minimum amount of oil or manually add it before or during cooking.

The basket doesn’t fit well into the appliance.

| There are too many ingredients in the basket.|

Do not overfill the basket for best results.

The basket is not properly inserted in the fryer.|

Insert the basket into the fryer until the display no longer shows OPEN.

White smoke comes out of the appliance.

|

You are cooking fatty food.

| When cooking fatty food in the air fryer, a large amount of oil will leak onto the base of the basket. The oil produces white smoke on contact with the hot surface of the basket. This does not affect the appliance or the result.
---|---|---

The basket still contains traces of fat from previous uses.

| The white smoke is caused by the fat heating up in the basket. Make sure you clean the basket properly after each use.

Chips are unevenly fried.

|

You have not used the right type of potato.

| Use fresh potatoes and make sure they stay put during frying. There are potato varieties that are more suitable for air frying.
The potatoes weren’t properly rinsed before frying.| Rinse the potatoes to remove the starch.

Fresh fries are not crispy when they come out of the air fryer.

|

The crispiness of the chips depends on the amount of oil and water they contain.

| Make sure you dry the potatoes well before adding the oil.
Cut the potatoes into smaller pieces for a crispier result.
Add a little more oil for a crispier result.

WARNING:
Do not try to repair the appliance by yourself. If the problem persists after the checks explained, contact a qualified electrician, authorised personnel, the store where you purchased the appliance, or the official Cecotec Customer Service.
