before the ﬁrst use

Before you use the appliance for the ﬁrst time, please do as follows: Carefully unpack the appliance and remove all the packaging material and stickers. Keep the material (plastic bags and cardboard) out of reach of children. Check the appliance after unpacking for any visible damage, possible from transportation. Clean the basket, the pan and the separator with warm soapy water and a sponge. Note: you can also clean these parts in the dishwasher. Wipe the interior and exterior with a damp cloth and dry thoroughly.
This is an air fryer that functions on hot air. Do not ﬁll the pan with oil or frying fat.

Place the appliance on a stable and heat-resistant surface.
Place the basket properly in the pan.
Place the pan into the appliance.
NOTE: the pan must be placed correctly, otherwise the appliance doesn’t work!
Plug the appliance into an earthed wall socket.
Do not ﬁll the pan with oil or any other liquid.
Do not place anything on top of the appliance.
Do not put anything on the air inlet on the sides of the appliance, this disrupts the airﬂow and has a negative affect to the hot air frying result.

Hot air frying

The air fryer can prepare a large range of ingredients. See the section SETTINGS for an indication of the timing and temperature settings.

Check that the voltage in your home corresponds with the voltage printed on the bottom of the appliance and plug the fryer into an earthed socket.
Carefully pull the pan out of the air fryer by the handle.
Place the ingredients in the basket. Use, when preparing two dishes, the separator. Attention: never exceed the recommended amount or ﬁll the basket over the maximum, as this could affect the quality of the end result.
Slide the pan back into the air fryer properly. Never use the pan without the basket. If the pan is not placed into the air fryer correctly, the appliance will not function.
Caution: do not touch the pan during and sometime after use, as it gets very hot. Only hold the pan by the handle.
Turn the temperature knob to the required temperature. An indication of the correct temperatures can be found in the section SETTINGS.
Determine the required preparation time for the ingredients with the table in the section SETTINGS.
To switch on the appliance, turn the timer knob to the required preparation time.
Tip: add 3 minutes to the preparation time when the appliance is cold.
If you want to preheat the appliance without ingredients, turn the timer knob to more than 3 minutes and wait until the thermostat light goes out (after aproxx. 3 minutes). Then remove the pan, ﬁll the basket and turn the timer knob to the required preparation time.
- The on/off control light and the thermostat light go on.
- The timer starts counting down the set preparation time. When you have set the wrong time, too long e.g., simply turn the timer knob back to the desired time.
- During the hot air frying process, the thermostat light lights up and goes out from time to time. This indicates that the heating element is switched on and off to maintain a constant temperature.
- Excess oil from the ingredients is collected on the bottom of the pan.
Some ingredients require shaking halfway through the preparation time. Take the pan out of the appliance by the handle and shake it with the ingredients. Then slide the pan back into the air fryer and continue to bake. Attention: do not press the unlock button on the handle.
When you hear the timer signal, the set preparation time has elapsed. Pull the pan out of the appliance and place it on a heat- resistant surface.
Note: you can also switch off the appliance manually. To do this, turn the temperature knob to 0, or pull out the pan directly.
Check if the ingredients are ready. If the ingredients are not ready yet, simply slide the pan back into the appliance and set the timer to a few more minutes.
To remove small ingredients (e.g. fries), press the basket release button and lift the basket out of the pan.
Do not turn the basket upside down with the pan still attached to it, as any excess oil that has been collected on the bottom of the pan will leak onto the ingredients.
After hot air frying, the pan and the ingredients are hot. Depending on the type of the ingredients in the air fryer, steam may escape from the pan.
After hot air frying, the pan and the inside metal cover are hot, avoid touching these parts.
Empty the basket into a bowl or onto a plate. Use a pair of tongs to lift the ingredients out of the basket with large or fragile ingredients.
When a portion of ingredients is ready, the air fryer is instantly ready for preparing another portion.

THE SEPARATOR
Using the separator you can divide the basket in two separate parts in which you can prepare two different types of snacks at the same time.
Place the separator in the basket, making sure the lugs ﬁt in the slots of the basket. The bottom lugs locks the separator at the bottom of the basket and prevent it from shifting.
You can now prepare different type of snacks at the same time. Make sure to bare in mind the preparation time in order for the dishes to be ready at the same time.

settings

The chart in the chapter will help you to select the best settings for the ingredients you want to prepare.
Attention: these settings are indications. As ingredients differ in origin, size, shape as well as brand, we cannot guarantee the best setting for your ingredients.
Because the rapid hot air technology instantly reheats the air inside the appliance, pulling the pan brieﬂy out of the appliance during hot air frying barely disturbs the process.
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 a few times starting halfway through the preparation time optimizes the end result and can help prevent unevenly fried ingredients.
Do not prepare extremely greasy ingredients such as sausages in the air fryer.
Snacks that can be prepared in a oven can also be prepared in the air fryer.
The optimal amount for preparing crispy fries is 500 grams. The maximum amount is 800 grams.
Use pre-made dough to prepare ﬁlled snacks quickly and easily. Pre-made dough also requires a shorter preparation time than home-made dough.
Place a baking tin or oven dish in the air fryer if you want to bake a cake or quiche or if you want to fry fragile ingredients or ﬁlled ingredients.
You can also use the air fryer to reheat ingredients. To reheat ingredients, set the temperature to 150°C for up to 10 minutes.

home-made fries

To make home-made fries, follow the steps below:

Peel the potatoes and cut them into sticks.
Wash the potato sticks thoroughly and dry them with kitchen paper.
Pour half a tablespoon in a bowl and place the sticks on top. 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 basket. Note: do not tilt the bowl to put all the sticks in the basket in one go. Any excess oil will end up on the bottom of the pan.
Fry the potato sticks according to the instructions in this chapter.

cleaning & maintenance

Clean the appliance after every use. Before cleaning the air fryer, leave it to cool down completely. Do not touch the hot metal inside before cleaning immediately after frying. Do not use metal kitchen utensils or abrasive cleaning materials to clean the pan, the basket or the separator, as this may damage the non-stick coating.

Unplug the appliance and leave the air fryer to cool down completely.
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, the basket and the separator with hot water, some washing-up liquid and a non-abrasive sponge. The pan, the basket and the separator are dishwasher-safe.
A degreasing liquid can be used to remove any remaining dirt.
Note: ﬁll the pan with hot water and some washing-up liquid and let it soak for 10 minutes to remove tough dirt.
Clean the inside of the appliance with hot water and a soft sponge.
Clean the heating element with a soft cleaning brush to remove any food residues. Do not use washing-up liquid. This can give a tang to the ingredients.
