DOOR DISASSEMBLY AND ASSEMBLY

The removable door can be separated from the appliance for easier cleaning. Push the door down as far as it will go (about 70 degrees) and then push the slotted latch on the right side of the hinge to the left to release the door. Once the door is free, pull it downwards to separate it from the body of the appliance. To reinstall the door, align the edges of the door with the holes on both sides of the hinge and push the slotted latch on the right side of the hinge to the left and insert as shown.

ASSEMBLING THE ROASTING SKIP
To assemble the roasting spit, first insert the shaft into the corresponding slots on one of the roasting forks so that the forks are on the inside of the shaft. Remove the two small spanners supplied with the unit and thread each through the corresponding hole on the spit forks. Turn each wrench clockwise to tighten and secure the forks to the main shaft body. Once each of the two keys is released, slide the rotisserie shaft into the gear slot on the left side of the oven cavity and the positioning bracket on the right side, making sure it is all the way in. When properly mounted on the gear and bracket, insert the keys back into each of their respective slots and turn them clockwise to tighten them and lock the shaft in place. Your grill spit is now ready to use.

USING THE ROASTING SKIP

• To use the roasting spit, align the two nuts on either side of the spit shaft with the two recessed notches on the inside of the appliance and push it as far back as possible. Once the spit is pushed all the way back, insert the nut on the left side of the wall into the corresponding hole on the body of the appliance.
• Note: Make sure that the shaft nut is completely inserted into the gear slot and that no part of it is visible to the naked eye; otherwise the spit will not rotate.
• Once you have installed the spit, press the “11” button on the control panel to activate the rotation function. If the spit has been installed correctly, it will start to rotate. If the spit does not start to rotate after pressing the button, remove it from the fryer and repeat the above steps, making sure that the shaft nut is fully inserted into the slot on the fryer body.
• Do not exceed the maximum load of the rotating mechanism of 1.5 kg. If you will be grilling chicken, secure its parts with string so that it does not get stuck when turning the spit.

ASSEMBLY OF STAND FOR SKEWER/KEBAB

When inserted into the opposite slot, secure it by pressing the clip on each skewer. Insert the skewer lengthwise through the center and secure the stand with screws. Make sure the size of the meat leaves enough room for turning.

AUTO SWITCH OFF
The appliance has a built-in timer that automatically switches it off when the timer reaches zero. You can manually turn off the appliance by holding down the “10” button or stop it by briefly pressing the “10” button until the timer reaches zero.

COOKING TIPS

• Preheating the appliance before adding food will generally ensure the best cooking results.
• Shake or turn the food halfway through the cooking time to ensure even browning. Shaking usually requires smaller foods that are stacked, such as chips or nuggets.
• A few minutes before the end of the cooking time, check whether the food is sufficiently cooked and if necessary, cook it longer.
• Make sure the meat has reached a safe cooking temperature.
• An air fryer works much like a toaster oven; follow the preparation instructions on the package or in the oven recipe.
• Smaller pieces of food usually require slightly less cooking time than larger pieces.
• When cooking multiple batches in a row, preheat only the first batch.
• Soak fresh potato fries in water for 15 minutes to remove starch before frying. Then pat the fries dry and mix with 1 tablespoon of oil to make them crispier.
• To get a crispier surface, we recommend spraying/mixing the food with classic table oil.

CLEANING

• Allow the appliance to cool completely before cleaning.
• Clean the appliance after each use and before long-term storage.
• When cooking food with too much fat content, fat may run down the inner sides of the cooking space, the safety glass of the door, or fat or liquid may drip outside the drip tray.
• Wait for the appliance to cool down and wipe off grease and liquids immediately to prevent them from getting inside the appliance.
• Clean the base of the appliance with a damp cloth and detergent.
• Removable parts that come into contact with food can be washed in a dishwasher, but we still recommend hand washing for longer protection (durability). Wash these parts under warm running water with the addition of neutral kitchen detergent. Then rinse them with clean water, dry them properly and put them back in their place. Never use abrasive cleaners on these surfaces.
• Clean the inside of the appliance with hot water and a non-abrasive sponge.

WARNING: NEVER SUBMERGE THE APPLIANCE IN WATER OR ANY OTHER LIQUID.

OVERHEAT PROTECTION
After cooking is complete, the aerator will continue to run for 20 seconds to cool down the appliance. If the appliance overheats, it switches off automatically. Allow the appliance to cool down before using it again.

TROUBLESHOOTING

power outlet.
Close the opening door.
The food is not fully cooked.| Put in smaller portions, the food may be undercooked.
Increase the temperature or cooking time.
The food is not evenly cooked.| Ingredients that are stacked on top of each other or close to each other need to be turned over during cooking.
The food is not crispy after frying.| Spraying food with a small amount of oil can increase crispiness.
The fries were not cooked well.| Add a small amount of oil, about 15 ml, and mix the fries thoroughly. When making raw potato chips, soak uncooked chips in water for 15 minutes to remove starch before frying. Dry them before adding a small amount of oil.
Cut uncooked French fries into 0.5 cm x 7 cm strips.
White smoke comes out of the appliance.| When using for the first time, the appliance may

produce white smoke. It’s alright.

Make sure the inside of the appliance is properly cleaned and free of grease.
Cooking fatty foods will cause oil to leak. This oil will produce white smoke. This is normal and should not affect cooking.
Dark smoke is coming from the appliance.| Immediately disconnect the appliance from the power supply.
