Tips for cooking with the fryer

• If it is necessary, you can adjust the timer so that preheating lasts 3 minutes without inserting food. When preheating is complete and the indicator lights stop flashing, you can insert the fryer basket and the food.
• Then, you can select the desired cooking process, temperature, and time.
• Excess oil from the food will accumulate at the bottom of the fryer.
• When the timer beeps, the cooking time is up. Remove the basket from the fryer and put it on the heat-resistant platform. Next, check if the food is for doneness. If not, place the basket back in the air fryer and set the timer for a few more minutes.
• Due to the different sources, sizes, shapes, and brands of food, we cannot guarantee that the parameters are optimal.
• Removing the basket from the air fryer will not affect cooking thanks to the fast airflow fryer technology.
• If the products are started cold, it will take about 3 minutes longer to cook.
• Do not cook foods with a high oil content, such as sausages.
• Compared to large foods, smaller foods will need slightly less cooking time.
• If the amount of food is excessive or insufficient, simply add or slightly reduce the cooking time.
• During cooking, turning some small foods can improve the cooking effect and make the food fry well.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

• Clean the product each time it is used to avoid the formation of solid residues that can lead to odours.
• The fryer, basket, and interior are non-stick. Do not use metallic or abrasive materials to clean the fryer, as they may deteriorate the non-stick coating with time.
• Unplug the appliance to cool it down.

NOTE: remove the basket to allow the appliance to cool down more quickly.

• Wipe the outside of the product with a damp cloth.
• Clean the fryer thoroughly with hot water, soap, and a non-abrasive sponge. You can use a degreaser to clean the remaining stains.

NOTE:
If stains adhere to the bottom or basket of the fryer, add hot water with a little detergent and immerse the basket for about 10 minutes.

• Clean the inside of the appliance with hot water and a non-abrasive sponge.
• Clean the heating elements with a cleaning brush to remove food residues. It is important to keep the heating element in good condition to prevent food from sticking and burning. This will prevent unnecessary odours and progressive deterioration of the device.
• Make sure all components are clean and dry.
• None of the components are dishwasher-safe.
