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 result.
Do not cook extremely fat ingredients such as sausages in the appliance.
Snacks that you would cook in an oven, can also be cooked in the hot air fryer.
The maximum amount is 600 grams.
If necessary, use an oil spray to lightly oil the ingredients. This will make them even more crispy.
Use ready-made dough to prepare filled snacks quickly and easily. Ready-made dough also cooks faster than homemade dough.
You can also use the appliance to heat food. Select the Preheating program. The appliance heats your dish for 6 minutes at 140 °C.
Add 3 minutes to the cooking time if the appliance is cold.
The turbo technology immediately reheats the air in the appliance. For that reason, it makes no difference in the result if you briefly open the flap.
As ingredients can differ in origin, dimension, shape, and brand, Tomado is unable to indicate the most optimum setting.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

BREAKDOWNS AND SOLUTIONS

Failure	Possible cause	Solution
The appliance does not function.	The plug is not in the socket.	Insert the

plug in an earthed socket.
The ingredients are not cooked.| The set temperature is too low.| Set the appliance to a higher temperature.
The cooking time is too short.| Set a longer time.
The ingredients are not fried evenly.| Some ingredients must be shaken halfway the cooking time.| Shake ingredients lying on top of one another (such as fries) halfway the cooking time.
Fried snacks are not crispy when they come out of the appliance.| The snacks are not suitable for a hot air fryer and should be fried in an oil fryer.| Use oven snacks or cover the snacks with a little oil for a more crispy result.
There is white smoke coming from the appliance.| You are cooking fatty ingredients.| When fatty ingredients are being cooked in the appliance, it is possible that a lot of fat drips in the appliance. This fat causes white smoke and the pan can become hotter than normal. This does not have an effect on the appliance or on the end result.
Fresh fries do not come out of the appliance evenly fried.| The type of potato is not suitable.| Use fresh potatoes that are a little floury when cooked.
| The fries have not been properly rinsed prior to frying.| Properly rinse the cut fries to remove starch.
Fresh fries are not crispy when they come out of the appliance.| The amount of oil and water in the fries determines how crispy they can be.| Dab the fries properly dry before adding oil.
Cut the fries more finely for a crispier result.
Add a little more oil for a crispier result.
