   NOTE: if you remove the basket, the icon will turn off and the heating element and motor will stop working. If you replace the basket, the fryer will resume cooking.
   NOTE: the double heating element icon is active in all programmes except the last one. If you want to activate or deactivate it, you will have to press it. If the icon flashes, this means that the heating element will not be activated at the beginning of the program. Similarly, if the icon does not flash, this means that the heating element will be activated at the beginning of the program.

   NOTE: These settings are indicative only. As ingredients may vary in origin, size, shape, and brand, it cannot be guaranteed that the settings shown below are the most appropriate.
   WARNING: Please note that the final result may vary if you decide to use both heating elements to cook the food. By activating the lower heating element, the heat is distributed more intensively inside the basket drawer and, as a result, the food is cooked faster.

Here are some tips that you may find useful when cooking with the air fryer:

• Smaller ingredients require a shorter cooking time than larger ones.
• A larger quantity of ingredients requires only a slightly longer preparation time, just as a smaller quantity of ingredients requires only a slightly shorter preparation time.
• Stirring small ingredients during the frying process optimises the result and can help prevent unevenly fried ingredients.
• Add some oil to the fresh potatoes for a crispier result. Cook the food in the air fryer just after adding oil to it.
• Do not use the air fryer for frying excessively fatty foods (such as sausages).
• Snacks that can be cooked in the oven can also be cooked in the air fryer.
• Pre-made dough requires a shorter preparation time. Pre-made dough requires a shorter preparation time than homemade dough.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Clean the fryer after every use.
Do not use metal utensils or abrasive products to clean the basket and/or rack, as this may damage their non-stick surface.

1. Unplug the fryer from the power supply and allow it to cool down before cleaning.
   NOTE: remove the basket to allow the appliance to cool down more quickly.

2. Clean the inside and outside of the air fryer with a damp cloth. The use of a degreasing liquid is recommended to remove any remains.
   Tip: if there is dirt stuck inside the basket and basket drawer, we recommend filling up the basket drawer with hot water mixed with liquid detergent. Place the basket in the basket drawer and leave to soak for about 10 minutes.

3. Clean the interior of the appliance with hot water and a non-abrasive sponge.

4. Clean the heating element with a soft brush to remove any food residue. Make sure it is already cold if you have not used the device for a long time.

Storage

1. Unplug the fryer and let it cool down.

TROUBLESHOOTING

appliance to an earthed wall socket.
You have not set the timer.| Set the timer to the desired cooking time.
Food is not fully cooked| The amount of ingredients in the basket is too big.| Put smaller batches of food in the basket. Smaller batches are cooked more evenly.
---|---|---
The temperature selected is too low.| Set the temperature to the required temperature setting (see section “Operation”).
The preparation time is too short.| Set the timer to the desired preparation time (see section “Settings” under “Operation”).
The double heating element is not on.| If it is switched off, try activating the lower heating element by pressing the icon on the display. This will bring extra heat to the basket drawer and achieve a better result.
The ingredients are fried unevenly in the air fryer| Some types of food need to be stirred during the frying process.| Ingredients that lie on top of each other (e.g., chips) need to be shaken halfway through the cooking time.
Fried snacks are not crispy when they are removed from the air fryer| You used a type of food that is meant to be prepared in a traditional deep fryer.| Bake oven snacks or brush food with a little oil for a crispier result.
The basket does not slide into the appliance properly| There are too many ingredients in the basket.| Do not fill the basket beyond the max. indication.
The basket is not placed in the basket drawer correctly.| Insert the basket into the basket drawer until you hear a click and feel that it is fully tightened.
White smoke comes out of the appliance| You are preparing greasy ingredients.| When you fry greasy ingredients in the air fryer, a large amount of oil will leak into the basket drawer. The oil produces white smoke and the basket drawer may heat up more than usual. This does not affect the fryer or the result.
The basket drawer has some leftover grease.| White smoke is caused by grease heating up in the basket drawer. Make sure you clean the device properly after each use.
Chips are unevenly fried| You did not use the right potato type.| Use fresh potatoes and make sure they stay put during frying.
---|---|---
You did not rinse the potato sticks properly before you fried them.| Rinse the potato sticks properly to remove the starch.
Chips are not crispy when they come out of the air fryer| The crispiness of the potatoes will depend on the amount of water and oil.| Make sure you dry the potato sticks properly before adding the oil.
The pieces are too big.| Cut the potato sticks on smaller pieces for crispier results.
No oil has been added to the potatoes.| Add a little bit more of oil for a crispier result.
