Before first use

1. Initial start-up operation may produce a smell and smoke (For about 15 mins.). This is normal. It is due to the protective substance on heating elements which protects them while they are stored. Cook slices of lemon at 300°F for 10 minutes to minimize the smell.

Settings

The table below will help you select the basic settings for the ingredients.
Note: Keep in mind that these settings are estimated settings only. As ingredients differ in origin, size shape, and brand, we cannot guarantee the best setting for your ingredients.
Because the Rapid Air technology reheats the air inside the appliance instantly. Pulling the pan briefly out of the appliance during hot air frying barely disturbs the process.

Tips

• Small 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 requires a slightly shorter preparation time.
• Shaking smaller ingredients halfway during the preparation time optimizes the end result and can help prevent uneven fried ingredients.
• Add some oil to fresh potatoes and fry your ingredients for another few minutes for a crispy result. -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 frying crispy fries is 500 grams.
• Use the pre-made dough to cook snacks quickly and easily. The pre-made dough also requires a shorter preparation time than home-made dough.
• Place a baking tin or oven dish in the fryer basket if you want to bake a cake or quiche or if you want to fry fragile ingredients or filler ingredients.
• You can also use the air fryer to heat ingredients. To heat ingredients, set the temperature to 300°F for up to 10 minutes.
