Automatic switch-off
This appliance is equipped with a timer. When the timer has counted down to 0, the appliance produces a bell sound and switches off automatically. To switch off the appliance manually, turn the timer knob anticlockwise to 0.

Before first use

1. Remove all packing material.

2. Remove any stickers or labels from the appliance – other than the rating label.

3. Thoroughly clean the crisper rack, and frying tray, with hot water and some liquid washing soap using a non-abrasive sponge.
   Note: You can also clean these parts in the dishwasher.

4. Wipe the inside and outside of the appliance with a moist cloth.

Preparing for use

1. Place the appliance on a stable, horizontal and level surface that is also heat resistant.
2. Place the crisper rack in the frying tray properly.
3. Pull the mains cord out of the cord storage compartment at the back of the appliance.

Do not fill the frying tray with oil or any other liquid.
Do not put anything on top of the appliance. This disrupts the airflow and affects the air-frying result.

Using the appliance

Hot air frying

1. Put the mains plug in an earthed wall socket.

2. Carefully pull the frying tray out of the air fryer.

3. Put the ingredients in the crisper rack.
   Note: Never fill the tray beyond the Max amount indicated in the table shown in the section ‘Settings’, as this could affect the quality of the end- result.

4. Slide the frying tray back into the air fryer.
   Caution: Do not touch the pan during and about 30mins after use, as it gets very hot. Only hold the pan by the handle.

5. Turn the temperature control knob to the required temperature. See section ‘Settings’ to determine the right temperature.

6. To switch on the appliance, turn the timer knob to the required preparation time.
   Add 3 minutes to the preparation time when the appliance is cold.
   Note: You can also let the appliance preheat without any ingredients inside. In that case, turn the timer knob to a little more than 3 minutes and wait until the heating-up light goes out (after approx.3 minutes). Then fill the tray and turn the timer knob to the required preparation time.

   • The power-on light and the heating-up light will come on.
   • The timer starts counting down the set preparation time.
   • During the hot air frying process, the heating-up light comes on and goes off from time to time. This indicates that the heating element is switched on and off to maintain the set temperature.
   • Excess oil from the ingredients is collected at the bottom of the frying tray.

7. Some ingredients require shaking halfway through the preparation time (see section ‘Settings’ in this chapter). To shake the ingredients, pull the frying tray out of the appliance by the handle and shake it. Then slide the frying tray back into the air fryer.
   Tip: If you set the timer to half the preparation time, you hear the timer bell when you have to shake the ingredients. However, this means that you have to set the timer again for the remaining preparation time after shaking.

8. When you hear the timer bell, the set preparation time has elapsed. Pull the pan out of the appliance and place it on a heat-resistant surface.
   Note: You can also switch off the appliance manually. To do this, turn the temperature control knob to 0.

9. Check if the ingredients are ready.
   If the ingredients are not ready yet, simply slide the frying tray back into the appliance and set the timer to a few extra minutes.
   After hot air frying, the frying tray and the ingredients are hot. Depending on the type of ingredients in the air fryer, steam may escape form the frying tray.

10. Empty the basket into a bowl or onto a plate.
    Tip: To remove large or fragile ingredients, use a pair of tongs to lift the ingredients out of the tray.

11. When a batch of ingredients is ready, the air fryer is instantly ready for preparing another batch.

Settings
This table below helps you to select the basic settings for the ingredients you want to prepare.
Note: Keep in mind that these settings are only for reference. As ingredients differ in origin, size, shape as well as brand, we cannot guarantee the best setting for your ingredients.
Because the Rapid Air Technology instantly reheats the air inside the appliance,pulling the frying tray briefly out of the appliance during hot air frying barely disturbs process.

Tips:

• Smaller ingredients usually require a slightly shorter preparation time than larger ingredients.
• A larger amount of ingredients only requires a slightly longer preparation time; a smaller amount of ingredients only requires a slightly shorter preparation time.
• Shaking smaller ingredients halfway through the preparation time optimized the end result and can help prevent unevenly fried ingredients.
• You can coat fresh potatoes with a little oil for a crispy result. Fry your ingredients in the air fryer within a few minutes after you have added the oil.
• Do not prepare extremely greasy ingredients such as sausages in the air fryer.
• Snacks that can be prepared in an oven can also be prepared in the air fryer.
• The optimal amount for preparing crispy fries is 500 grams.
• Use pre-made dough to prepare filled snacks quickly and easily. Pre-made dough also requires a shorter preparation time than home-made dough.
• You can also use the air fryer to reheat ingredients by setting the temperature to 150°C and the timer to about 10 minutes.

For the best results, we advise to use pre-baked fries. If you want to make home-made fries, follow the steps below:

1. Peel the potatoes and cut them into sticks.

2. Soak the potato sticks in a bowl of water for at least 30 minutes, take them out and dry them with kitchen paper.

3. Pour 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil in a bowl, put the sticks on top and mix until the sticks are coated with oil.

4. Remove the sticks from the bowl with your fingers or a kitchen utensil so that excess oil stays behind in the bowl. Put the sticks in the tray.
   Note: Do not tilt the bowl to put all the sticks in the tray in one go, to prevent excess oil from collecting at the bottom of the frying tray.

5. Fry the potato sticks according to the instructions in this chapter.

Cleaning

Clean the appliance after every use.
The frying tray, and the inside of the appliance have a non-stick coating. Do not use metal kitchen utensils or abrasive cleaning materials to clean them, as this may damage the non-stick coating.

   Note: Remove the frying tray to let the air fryer cool down more quickly.

2. Wipe the outside of the appliance with a moist cloth.

3. Clean the frying tray and crisper rack with hot water, some washing liquid soap and a non-abrasive sponge.

You can use a degreasing liquid to remove any remaining dirt.
Note: The frying tray and crisper rack are dishwasher-proof.
Tip: If dirt is stuck to the crisper rack, or at the bottom of the frying tray, fill the frying tray with hot water and with some washing liquid soap. Put the crisper rack in the frying tray and let the frying tray and the crisper rack soak for approximately 10 minutes.

1. Clean the inside of the appliance with hot water and a non-abrasive sponge.
2. Clean the heating element with a cleaning brush to remove any food residues.
