PREPARING FOR USE
-
Place the air fryer on a stable, horizontal and level surface.
Do not place the appliance on non-heat-resistant surfaces. -
Insert the Grill Rack (E) in the Pan (F).
USING THE APPLIANCE
HOT AIR FRYING
-
Plug the power cord into a working power outlet.
-
Gently pull on the Handle (G) to pull the Pan (F) out of the air fryer.
-
Make sure the Grill Rack (E) is secure inside the Pan (F).
-
OPTIONAL: You can preheat the Air Fryer with no food inside the Pan. To preheat begin by turning the Temperature Control Knob (A) to your desired temperature and then turn the Timer Control Knob (D) to 3 minutes. The Air Fryer will turn ON and heat until the timer stops. At this point the air fryer should be preheated.
If you do not wish to preheat, it is recommended to add 3 minutes to the cooking time specified for your ingredients/recipe. -
Place the food to be cooked on the Grill Rack (E) inside the Pan (F).
-
Gently slide the Pan (F) back into the air fryer.
Never use the Pan (F) without the Grill Rack (E) secured into position safely.
Caution: Do not touch the pan during use, or within 30 minutes after use, as it gets very hot. Only hold the pan by the handle. -
Turn the Temperature Control Knob (A) to the desired temperature. See section ‘Settings’ for help in determining the temperature.
Note: If you want to prepare different ingredients at the same time, make sure you check the preparation time and the temperature required for each of the different ingredients before you start to prepare them simultaneously. Homemade fries and drumsticks, for example, can be prepared simultaneously because they require the same settings. -
Determine the required preparation time for the ingredient (see section ‘Settings’).
-
To turn the Air Fryer ON and begin cooking, turn the Timer Control Knob (D) to the required preparation time for the ingredients you have placed in the Pan (F).
- The Heat Indicator Light (B) will turn ON.
- The timer starts counting down from the set preparation time.
- During the hot air frying process, the Heat Indicator Light (B) will turn ON and OFF several times. This indicates that the heating element is turning ON and OFF to maintain the set temperature.
- During the cooking process some excess oil from the ingredients will be collected on the bottom of the Pan (F).
-
Some ingredients require shaking halfway through the preparation time to help cook evenly (see section ‘Settings’). To shake the ingredients, gently pull the Pan (F) out of the appliance by the Handle (G) and gently shake the Pan (F) from side to side to reposition the ingredients. After shaking slide the Pan (F) back into the air fryer and cooking will start again.
Tip: If you set the timer to half the preparation time, you will hear the timer bell when you have to shake the ingredients. However, this means that you have to set the timer again for the remaining preparation time after shaking. -
When the set cooking time has elapsed you will hear the timer bell, and the Air Fryer will automatically turn OFF. Using the Handle (G), gently pull the Pan (F) out of the appliance and place the Pan (F) on a heat-resistant surface.
Note: You can also turn the Air Fryer OFF manually. To do this, turn the Timer Control Knob (D) to 0. -
Check if the food is cooked to your desired level. If the food is not ready yet, simply slide the Pan (F) back into the appliance and set the Timer Control Knob (D) to a few extra minutes.
-
Use a pair of tongs or a spoon to remove the cooked food from the Pan (F).
Note: Do not turn the pan upside down to remove the cooked food, as any excess oil that has collected on the bottom of the pan will pour out.
After hot air frying, the pan and the ingredients are hot. Depending on the type of ingredients in the air fryer, steam may escape from the pan. After the first batch of food has completed cooking, the Air Fryer is instantly ready for preparing another batch because it is already heated. To cook another batch simply repeat steps 5-13.
SETTINGS
The table on the next page helps you to select the basic settings for some
ingredients you may want to prepare. It will also indicate foods that cook
better when they are shaken half way through the cooking process.
Note: Keep in mind that these settings are suggestions. As ingredients
differ in origin, size, shape as well as brand, we cannot guarantee the best
setting for your ingredients
TIPS
- Smaller ingredients usually require a slightly shorter preparation time than larger ingredients.
- A larger amount of ingredients only requires a slightly longer preparation time. A smaller amount of ingredients only requires a slightly shorter preparation time.
- Shaking smaller ingredients halfway through the preparation time optimizes the end result and can help prevent unevenly fried ingredients.
- Brush some cooking oil on fresh potatoes for a crispy result. Fry your ingredients in the air fryer within a few minutes after you have added the oil.
- Do not prepare extremely greasy ingredients such as sausages in the air fryer.
- Snacks that can be prepared in an oven can also be prepared in the air fryer.
- The optimal amount for preparing crispy fries is about 16 ounces.
- Use the pre-made dough to prepare filled snacks quickly and easily. The pre-made dough also requires a shorter preparation time than homemade dough.
- You can also use the air fryer to reheat ingredients. To reheat ingredients, set the temperature to 320°F for up to 10 minutes.

MAKING HOMEMADE FRIES
For the best results, we advise to use pre-baked (e.g. frozen) fries. If you want to make homemade fries, follow the steps below.
-
Peel the potatoes and cut them into sticks.
-
Soak the potato sticks in a bowl for at least 30 minutes, take them out and dry them with a paper towel.
-
Pour ½ tablespoon of olive oil in a bowl, put the sticks on top and mix until the sticks are coated with oil.
-
Remove the sticks from the bowl with your fingers or a kitchen utensil so that excess oil stays behind in the bowl. Put the sticks in the Pan (F) using your hands or a kitchen utensil.
Note: Do not tilt the bowl to put all the sticks in the Pan (F) all at once, to prevent excess oil from ending up on the bottom of the pan. -
Fry the potato sticks according to the instructions in the table above.
CLEANING
Clean the Pan (F) and Grill Rack (E) after every use.
The Pan (F) and Grill Rack (E) have a non-stick coating. Do not use metal
kitchen utensils or abrasive cleaning materials to clean them, as this may
damage the non-stick coating. Always clean these parts using hot water, some
mild soap, and a non-abrasive sponge or cloth.
-
Remove the power plug from the wall socket and let the appliance cool down for at least 30 minutes.
Note: Remove the pan to let the air fryer cool down more quickly. -
Wipe the outside of the appliance with a moist cloth.
-
Clean the Pan (F) and Grill Rack (E) using hot water, some mild soap and a non-abrasive sponge or cloth.
Tip: If excess food is stuck to the Grill Rack or the bottom of the Pan, fill the Pan with hot water with some mild soap. Put the Grill Rack in the Pan and let the Pan and the Grill Rack soak for approximately 10 minutes. -
Clean the inside of the appliance with hot water and a non-abrasive sponge.
STORAGE
- Unplug the appliance and let it cool down.
- Make sure all parts are clean and dry.
- Place the appliance in a clean, dry place for storage until the next use.
TROUBLESHOOTING
This chapter summarizes the most common problems you could encounter with the appliance.

(D) to the required preparation time (see section ‘Settings’).
The ingredients are fried unevenly in the air fryer.| Certain types of
the ingredients need to be shaken halfway through the preparation time.|
Ingredients that lie on top of or across each other (e.g. fries) need to be
shaken halfway through the preparation time. See section ‘Settings’.
---|---|---
Food is not crispy when it comes out of the air fryer| You used a type
of food meant to be prepared in a traditional deep fryer.| Use oven-baked
foods or lightly brush some oil onto the food before cooking for a crispier
result.
I cannot slide the pan into
the appliance properly.
| There are too may
ingredients in the pan.
| Remove some of the
ingredients from the pan.
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 pan. The oil produces white smoke and the pan may heat up more than usual. This does not affect the appliance or the
end result.
| The pan still contains grease residues from previous use.| White smoke is caused by grease heating up in the pan. Make sure you clean the pan and grill rack properly after
each use.
Homemade fries are fried unevenly in the air fryer| You did not soak the potato sticks properly before you fried them| Soak the potato sticks in a bowl for at least 30 minutes, take them out and dry them with a paper towel before applying oil
and cooking.
| You did not use the right potato type.| Use fresh potatoes and make sure
they stay firm during frying
Homemade fries are not
crispy when they come out of the air fryer.
| The crispiness of the fries
depends on the amount of oil and water in the fries.
| Make sure you dry the potato
sticks properly before you add the oil.
Add slightly more oil for a
crispier result.
