OPERATION

This air fryer allows you to prepare your favourite dishes in an easy and healthy way. Combining hot air and high-speed air circulation, it is able to perfectly fry any ingredient barely using oil.
Connect the mains plug to an earthed wall socket.
Carefully pull the fat-drip tray out of the hot-air fryer. (Img.4).
Put the ingredients in the basket. (Img. 5).
Align the fat-drip tray with the guides in the fryer’s body and slide it back into the hot-air fryer (Img.6).
Warning: Never use the fat-drip tray without the basket inside it.
Turn the timer knob to the desired cooking time in order to switch on the device. Power light and fan will turn on. (Img. 7) (See next section in order to determine cooking time).
Turn the temperature knob to select the desired temperature. (Img. 7). (See next section in order to determine cooking temperature).
In case the appliance is cold, add 3 minutes to the cooking or pre-heat it with no ingredients inside.
Pre-heating the appliance: Turn the time knob to more than 3 minutes and wait until the heating-up light turns off (after approximately 3 minutes). Then, fill the basket and turn the time knob to the desired cooking time. The timer will show the count down.
During hot-air frying process, the heating-up light turns on and off. This indicated that the heating elements are switched on and off in order to maintain the pre-set temperature.
Some ingredients require shaking halfway through the hot-air frying process. To shake them, pull the fat-drip tray out of the appliance holding it from the handle and shake it. Then, slide the fat-drip tray back into the air fryer.
Warning: Do not press the handle button during shaking. (Img. 3).
When timer bell rings, cooking time is over. Pull the fat-drip tray out of the appliance and or turn the time knob to “0”. Once it is placed at “0”, the appliance will automatically turn off.
Check if ingredients are ready. In case ingredients are not enough cooked yet, slide the fat-drip tray back into the appliance and set the timer to a few extra minutes.
To remove ingredients, (e.g. fries), pull the fat-drip tray out of the hot-air fryer and place it on a heat-resistant surface, press the basket-release button and lift the basket out of the fat-drip tray.
Warning: Do not turn the basket upside down with the fat-drip tray attached to it. Excess oil could have been left in the fat-drip tray, leaking on the ingredients.
Empty the basket into a plate or bowl or use tongs to remove the ingredients.
Once ingredients have been removed, the air-fryer is immediately ready for next operation.

COOKING TIPS

Smaller ingredients usually require shorter cooking times than larger ones.
Shaking smaller ingredients halfway through the process optimizes the end result and prevents ingredients from being fried unevenly.
Add some extra oil to fresh potatoes for a crispy result.
Do not prepare extremely greasy ingredients in the hot-air fryer (e.g. sausages).
Snack that can be prepared in an oven can also be prepared in the hot-air fryer.
Use pre-cooked dough to prepare snacks quickly and easily. Home-made dough requires a longer preparation time.
Place a baking tin or and oven dish inside the appliance in order to bake cakes, quiches or fry  fragile or filled ingredients.
Reheat pre-cooked ingredients by setting temperature at 150 ºC for up to 10 minutes.
