TIPS

• Large quantities of food only require a slightly longer cooking time than smaller quantities
• “Flipping” or turning smaller sized foods halfway through the cooking process, assures that all the pieces are evenly fried
• Misting o bit of vegetable oil to fresh potatoes is suggested for a crispier result. When adding a little oil, do so just before cooking
• Snacks normally cooked in an oven can also be cooked using this appliance
• Use the pre-made dough to prepare filled snacks quickly and easily. The pre-mode dough requires o shorter cooking time than homemade dough
• Place a baking tin or oven dish in the oven when baking a cake or quiche. A tin or dish is also suggested when cooking delicate or filled foods

• Set the timer to 1 /2 the time needed for the recipe and the rimer bell will alert you when it’s time to turn your food. When you hear the timer bell, the preset preparation time has elapsed
• If food is not cooked, check to ensure that the baskets and trays are not overloaded or that the temperature is not set too low. Use smaller batches for more even hying
• If chips are not fried evenly, check if the correct type of potato is being used. Use fresh, firm potatoes. Use cut sticks and pat dry to remove excess starch
• If chips are not crispy then it may be that the raw chips contained too much water. In the future, cut sticks smaller and ensure to dry potato sticks properly before misting them with oil. Parboiling potato sticks are always recommended prior to oven cooking
