3. OPERATION

Place the appliance on a horizontal, stable, flat, and heat-resistant surface. Never place it on a glass-ceramic hob.
Properly place the basket in the air fryer.
Do not place any objects on top of the product when in use to avoid interrupting the air flow and affecting the air-frying result.

Air fryer

1. Connect the mains plug to an earthed wall socket.
2. Remove the basket from the air fryer with extreme care. (Fig 3).
3. Put the ingredients in the basket.

Note: never exceed the MAX mark on the basket or the quantity indicated in the table (see “Settings” in this section) to avoid affecting the final result.

Tip: to ensure perfect results, it is recommended that you avoid overcrowding the basket with food, as it will not cook evenly.

4. Put the basket back in the air fryer. (Fig. 4)
Never use the air fryer without the basket inside.
Caution: do not touch the air fryer during or immediately after operation, as it may still be very hot. Hold the basket only by the handle.
5. Use the control panel as follows (Fig. 2):
Plug in the air fryer-the corresponding power light indicator (Icon 1) will come on.

Icon 1 – Power icon
Once the basket and rack are securely in place in the fryer, the power icon will light up.
Pressing the power icon will set the temperature to 200°C and the cooking time to 15 minutes by default. Pressing the power icon again will start the cooking process. If temperature and time were manually selected, when pressing the power icon, the default-menu icons will be hidden, and the fan icon (Icon 7) will keep flashing while in operation to start the cooking process. The fan icon (Icon 7) stays on for a few seconds after stopping or pausing cooking to continue cooling down. Press the power icon to stop the cooking process-the default-menu icons will light up.

If you want to stop the cooking process early, hold down the power icon (Icon

for 5 seconds. Note: during cooking, you can press this icon to start or pause the cooking process.

Press icons “2” and “3” to set the cooking time from 0 to 60 minutes.

Icons 4 and 5 – Temperature increase/decrease icons
Press icons “4” and “5” to set the temperature between 80 ºC and 200 ºC.

6. Some ingredients must be shaken halfway through the cooking process (see “Settings” section). To shake, remove the basket from the product by grasping the handle and shake. Then, slide the basket back into the air fryer.

Caution: be very careful when shaking the basket, as it contains hot food.

7. When you hear the timer alarm, it means the cooking time has elapsed. Remove the basket drawer from the appliance and place it on a heat-resistant surface.
8. Make sure the food is cooked.
9. If the food isn’t cooked enough, slide the basket drawer back into the air fryer and add a few more minutes to the timer.
10. To remove food, e.g., French fries, remove the basket drawer from the air fryer and place it on a heat-resistant surface. Use tongs to remove the ingredients. Be careful not to burn yourself. Do not place the basket upside down to remove the food.

Do not turn the basket drawer upside down with the basket in it, otherwise excess oil accumulated in the bottom of the basket drawer may spill onto the food.

The food, basket drawer, and the fryer itself will be hot. Depending on the type of food being cooked, steam may escape from the basket drawer.

11. Use tongs to remove the ingredients. Be careful not to burn yourself. Do not place the basket upside down to remove the food.
12. Once the first batch of food has been cooked, the appliance will be ready for the next batch.

Settings

Default-menu table:

ICON| MODE| Quantity (g)
MIN – MAX| Time (min)| Temperature (ºC)| Shake
---|---|---|---|---|---
| Frozen chips| 500 – 800| 18| 200| Yes
| Bacon| 150 – 300| 6| 180| No

Note
This information is indicative, as ingredients differ in origin, size, shape, and brand, and we cannot guarantee the best setting for the ingredients that you are using.

To improve the end result of the food, add 3 minutes to the cooking process when you start cooking while the fryer is cold to preheat the basket.

Tips
– Smaller ingredients require shorter preparation time than the larger ones.
– A larger quantity of ingredients only requires a slightly longer preparation time, and a smaller quantity of ingredients only requires a slightly shorter preparation time.
– Shaking smaller food midway through the cooking process optimises the end result and prevents uneven cooking.
– 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 cook excessively fatty foods in the air fryer (e.g., sausages).
– Oven-ready snacks can also be cooked in the air fryer.
– The optimal amount for preparing crispy fries is 500 grams.
– Pre-made dough requires a shorter preparation time. Pre-made dough requires a shorter preparation time than home-made dough.
– Place a baking pan or baking dish in the air-fryer’s basket if you want to bake a cake or quiche or if you want to fry fragile or stuffed foods.
– You can also use the device to reheat food. To reheat food, set the temperature to 150°C for 10 minutes.

4. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Cleaning
– Clean the appliance after every use.
– The basket and rack have a non-stick coating. Do not use metal utensils or abrasive products to clean the basket or rack, as this may damage their non- stick surface.

1. Unplug the appliance and allow it to cool down before cleaning.
Note: remove the basket to let the appliance cool down more quickly.
2. Clean the interior and the exterior of the device with a damp cloth.
3. Clean the basket and rack thoroughly with hot water, washing-up liquid, and a non-abrasive sponge.
The use of a degreasing liquid is recommended to remove any remains.
Tip: if there is dirt stuck inside the basket and rack, we recommend filling up the basket drawer with hot water mixed with liquid detergent. Place the rack in the basket and leave to soak for about 10 minutes.
4. Clean the inside of the appliance with hot water and a non-abrasive sponge.
5. Clean the heating element with a soft brush to remove any food residue.

5. TROUBLESHOOTING

Problem	Possible causes	Possible solution
The air fryer does not work.	The appliance is not plugged in.	Connect the

mains plug to an earthed wall socket.
The ingredients fried with the air fryer are not done.| 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 used is too low.| Increase the cooking temperature (see the “Operation” section).
The preparation time is too short.| Increase the cooking time (see the “Operation” section).
The ingredients are fried unevenly in the air fryer.| Some types of food need to be shaken during the cooking process.| Ingredients that lie on top of or across each other (e.g., fries) need to be shaken halfway through the preparation time. See section “Operation”.
Snacks are not crispy when they come out the device.| You used a type of food that is meant to be prepared in a traditional deep fryer.| Cook oven snacks or oil the food a little bit to get a crispier result.
The basket drawer does not slide into the device 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.| Push the basket down into the basket drawer until you hear a click.
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. Oil produces white smoke. This does not affect the device 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.
Fresh fries are fried unevenly in the air fryer.| You did not use the right potato type.| Use fresh potatoes and make sure they stay firm during frying. Use potatoes of the types suggested.
You did not rinse the potato sticks properly before you fried them.| Rinse the potatoes well in water for 3 minutes to remove the starch and dry thoroughly afterwards.
Fresh fries are not crispy when they come out of the air fryer.| The right kind of potato is not being used.| Make sure you dry the potato sticks properly before adding the oil.
