• There is an air outlet on the back of the appliance. Beware of hot steam/air escaping!

• Beware of escaping hot steam when pulling out the frying basket. If necessary, use some pot cloths to protect against burns!

• After removing the hot frying basket, always place it on a heat-resistant surface to avoid damaging the worktop!

• Attention! Overheated food, fats and oil can infl ame. Therefore, only operate the appliance under supervision!

• When filling the frying basket, make sure that the food does not get in touch with the heating element on the top of the baking chamber.

• Remove any loose ice from food.

• Only operate the appliance with inserted frying basket.

• Do not use the appliance as depositing rack. Never cover the ventilation openings above the control panel nor the air outlet at the back of the appliance during operation.

• Observe the following when setting up the appliance:
  o Place the appliance beyond children’s reach.
  o Place the appliance on a heat-resistant, stable and even surface (no varnished surfaces, no tablecloths etc.).
  o Do not operate the appliance in the vicinity of sources of heat (oven, gas flame etc.) or in explosive environments, where inflammable liquids or gases are located.
  o Leave a ventilation distance of at least 20 cm to all sides of the appliance to avoid damage by heat or steam and to grant an unobstructed work area.

Tips and tricks for best results

• We recommend shaking/turning the food after about half the time for best results. When preparing the food, also follow the manufacturer’s instructions on the food packaging.
• The programme duration given in the following recipe suggestions are only guidelines. You can vary them depending on the quantity of food to be prepared and according to your individual taste.

Food| Temperature| Duration approx.| Recommended quantity| Notes
---|---|---|---|---
Reheat| 80°C| 5 – 30
min.| —| for stews, mushrooms, cooking eggs
Fried sausages| 200°C| 10 – 15
min.| up to 600 g| turning once is recommended
Poultry parts (fresh)| 180°C| 10 – 18
min.| up to 600 g| marinating and turning once is recommended
Poultry parts (deep-frozen)| 180°C| 13 – 20
min.| up to 700 g| spraying with some oil might be useful and turning once is necessary
Fish, breaded
(deep-frozen)| 180°C| 13 – 18
min.| up to 500 g| spraying with some oil and turning once is recommended
Mini pizza (deep-frozen)| 180°C| 10 – 20
min.| —| also applies to pizza baguettes
Mixed vegetables (deep-frozen)| 160°C| 10 – 20
min.| up to 750 g| turning/stirring once is recommended
Fruit strudel (deep-frozen)| 160°C| 12 – 16
min.| up to 600 g| after the programme has elapsed, leave in the appliance for about 10 minutes to steep
French fries (deep-frozen)| 200°C| 15 – 25
min.| up to 800 g| spraying with some oil might be useful and shaking once is
necessary
French fries (fresh)| 180 / 200°C| 15 – 25
min.| up to 600 g| spraying with some oil and shaking 2-3 times is recommended
Fresh pastry| 160 / 180°C| 10 – 40
min.| —| Muffins need approx. 12 minutes, shortcrust pastry up to 40 minutes

• Food that can be prepared in the oven can also successfully be prepared in the air fryer, but the preparation time is significantly shorter here, often in the range of 20 to 30 percent.
• The colder the food, the longer the preparation time, but this is only slightly longer and – compared to a conventional oven – even significantly less than in the oven.
• The quality of the ingredients is always decisive for good success. Evenly sized pieces can be fried better and above all more evenly, this is especially true for French fries and chicken nuggets.
• We recommend to sprinkle all breaded dishes and French fries of all kinds with a little oil before deep-frying. An oil sprayer (also called an “oil atomiser”) in combination with refined vegetable oil is ideal for this.
• The food can be shaken vigorously, because good mixing is clearly advantageous for the cooking result.
• Food should only be salted after deep-frying, because salt draws moisture from the food and increases the risk of drying out the food.
• Never cover the frying rack completely with food or with baking paper, as otherwise the air circulation is no longer guaranteed, which impairs the cooking process.

Troubleshooting

Cleaning and maintenance

CAUTION: Hazard of injury and burns!

• Always unplug the appliance before cleaning!
• Do not immerse appliance, power cord and power plug in water nor clean it under running water!
• Always let the appliance cool down before cleaning!
• Clean the appliance regularly.
• Wipe the housing and baking chamber clean with a soft damp cloth (we recommend using a microfi bre cloth) with some detergent.
• Clean the frying basket, frying rack and other accessories with warm water, some detergent and a soft dishwashing brush. If the parts are stubbornly dirty, they can be soaked in warm water with washing-up liquid.
• Do not clean the frying basket and frying rack in the dishwasher! However, the silicone spacers on the frying rack can be removed and occasionally cleaned in the dishwasher.
• Never immerse the appliance in water and also make sure that no steam or water can penetrate from below!
• Never treat the appliance and accessory parts with a steam jet!

Disposal/recycling

Packaging material
Do not simply throw the packaging material away but recycle it. Deliver paper, cardboard and corrugated cardboard to waste paper collection points. Also put plastic packaging material and foils into the specifi c collection containers.

The printed or embossed markings indicate the materials whichwere used: PE stands for polyethylene (code 02 means high-density PE, 04 stands for low- density PE), PS stands for polystyrene and CPE for chlorinated polyethylene. PAP 20 means corrugated cardboard and PAP 21 other cardboard. All plastics are thermoplastics which are very easy and effi cient to produce.
They are also very easy to recycle and therefore can even have a smaller ecological footprint than comparable cardboard packaging.
Disposal information
According to the Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Directive (2012/19/ EU), this product may not be disposed of with other household waste at the end of its service life. Therefore please submit it e.g. at a municipal collection point (e.g. recycling center) according to the laws of your country of residence for the recycling of electrical and electronic appliances. Your municipality or city administration will inform you about the disposal options.
