prior to first use

Before using the appliance for the first time, you should proceed as follows: carefully unpack the hot air fryer and remove all packaging material and any promotional stickers. Keep the packaging (plastic bags and cardboard) out of the reach of children. After unpacking the appliance, check it for external damage that may have occurred during transport. Place the hot air fryer on a sturdy, flat and heat-resistant surface.
The keys used to operate the hot air fryer are touch controls. Carefully touch the controls with a finger to activate. At each touch of a touch control, you can hear a sound signal.

STAND-BY
When the plug is inserted in the socket, a sound signal can be heard. The stand-by key lights up. The appliance automatically switches to stand-by mode when:

• inserting the plug in the socket;
• no keys are touched for 1 minute;
• the time set on the timer has passed;
• pressing the on/off key while the appliance is working.

SWITCHING ON/OFF
Switch the appliance on and off using the on/off key [1].
The appliance will only function when the basket is in the appliance correctly.
When OFF is shown on the display, the timer counts down 20 seconds once more. During that time, the fan continues to run to cool the appliance. After that, a sound signal can be heard.
Hold down the on/off key for 2 seconds in order to switch the appliance fully off. The leds go out, the fan stops.

PRIOR TO FIRST USE
Check the voltage. The appliance will only work safely on alternate current with a voltage that is indicated on the information plate of the appliance. Only insert the plug of the appliance into a earthed socket The heating element has been provided with a protective layer. Switch on the appliance and allow it to operate at maximum level without food for 10 minutes. In this way, the protective layer around the heating element is burned off perfectly. A little bit of smoke may be created during this action. Therefore ensure sufficient ventilation. When the protective layer has disappeared, switch off the appliance. Remove the plug from the socket and clean the insert grille and basket before you actually start using the appliance. Wash the insert grille and basket with soapy water or in the dishwasher. The inside and outside of the appliance itself can be wiped with a soft, damp cloth.

The appliance works with hot air. This means that you should never use oil, other liquids or frying fat for preparing food

• Place the appliance on a sturdy, flat and heat-resistant surface.
• Bend the feet of the insert grille slightly outwards so that it fits tightly in the basket and cannot fall out.
• Place the insert grille in the basket.
• Place the basket in the appliance.
• CAUTION! If the basket is not placed correctly, the appliance will not function.
• Do not fill the basket with oil or other liquids. Do not place anything on top of the appliance.
• Do not cover air inlet or outlet openings. Covered air openings will disrupt the air circulation and will have a negative effect on the frying result.

hot air frying

• Check that the mains voltage corresponds with the voltage stated on the information plate. Insert the plug in an earthed socket. Press the on/off key. The display lights up.
• Carefully remove the basket with insert grille from the appliance.
• Fill the basket with the food that you want to prepare. Pay attention to the maximum amount (also see the section with TIPS below). Never use the appliance without the insert grille. The insert grille is necessary for sufficient air circulation.
• Slide the basket back in the appliance correctly.
• Set the required temperature and time and press the on/off key.
• Tip – For the best result, you must shake some products halfway through the cooking time. For such products, you must first set the first half of the required time. When you hear the timer signal, remove the basket from the appliance, shake the product, place back the basket and set the timer again.
• Tip – When switching on the appliance, you can hold down the on/off key for 2 seconds. The appliance will automatically set the temperature to 200 °C and the timer to 15 minutes. You can also select one of the automatic menus. Press the menu selection key [2] to go through the menus and make your choice. The appliance automatically sets the ideal temperature and time. See the “Time and temperature settings of the automatic menus” table below.
• When the cooking time has passed, a sound signal can be heard. Remove the basket from the appliance and check if the products are ready. If they are not ready, place back the basket and set a few extra minutes on the timer.
• Tip – During the frying process, fat and moisture will drip on the bottom of the basket. This could end up on the food that has just been cooked, when you turn over the basket in order to remove the food. Therefore carefully shake the ingredients out of the basket and use tongs to remove larger ingredients.
• The basket becomes very hot during the frying process. Only hold the basket by its handle.
• Depending on the dish being cooked, hot steam may come out of the basket.
• The metal parts in the appliance become very hot. Never touch them when using the appliance and immediately after using the appliance.

tips

• Smaller ingredients usually require a slightly shorter cooking time.
• A larger amount of ingredients only requires a little more time, and a smaller amount requires a little less cooking time.
• Shaking smaller ingredients several times during the cooking time results in a better and more even end result.
• Do not cook extremely fat ingredients such as sausages in the hot air fryer.
• Snacks that can be cooked in the oven, can also be cooked in the hot air fryer.
• The optimum amount for preparing crispy is 500 grammes. The maximum amount is 800 grammes.
• If necessary, use an oil spray to lightly oil the ingredients and make them even more crispy.
• Use ready-made dough for a fast and simple preparation of filled snacks. Ready-made dough also cooks faster than home-made dough.
• Place a baking tin or oven dish in the basket if you want to make a cake or quiche, or if you want to cook delicate or filled ingredients.
• The hot air fryer can also be used to reheat ingredients. For this, set the temperature to 150°C for 10 minutes.
• Add 3 minutes to the cooking time if the hot air fryer is still cold.
• As the turbo hot air technology immediately reheats the air in the appliance, briefly removing the pan from the hot air fryer does not have an effect on the end result.
  As ingredients can differ in origin, dimension, shape and brand, Inventum is unable to indicate the most optimum setting.

cleaning and maintenance

• Clean the appliance as follows after each use.
• Allow the appliance to cool down before cleaning it.
• After frying, the interior is hot. Do not touch the interior immediately after frying.
• When cleaning the basket and insert grille, do not use metal kitchenware or abrasive agents, as these could damage the anti-stick coating.
• Remove the plug from the socket and allow the appliance to cool down fully before cleaning it.
• Instruction: cooling goes quicker if the basket and insert grille are removed from the appliance.
• Clean the exterior of the appliance with a damp cloth.
• Clean the basket and insert grille with hot water containing a little washing-up liquid and a sponge. You can also wash the basket and insert grille in the dishwasher.
• Instruction: stubborn dirt can be removed by filling the basket with hot water and a little bit of washing-up liquid and allowing it to soak for 10 minutes.
• Clean the interior of the appliance with a damp soft sponge that you have first soaked in hot water and squeezed out. Remove any food residues from the heating element using a soft washing-up brush. Be careful with washing-up liquid.
• This could be left behind on the heating element and give a foreign taste to the ingredients.
• Never submerge the appliance, cord or plug in water or other liquids.
• Before storing the appliance, allow it to cool down fully and remove the plug from the socket. Check that all components are clean and dry. Store the appliance in a clean and dry location.
