BEFORE FIRST USE

1. Remove all packaging material.

2. Remove any stickers or labels from the appliance.

3. Thoroughly clean the bowl and the removable grid with hot water, some dish washing liquid and a non-abrasive sponge.
   Note: You can also clean these parts in the dishwasher.

4. Wipe the inside and outside of the appliance with a damp cloth. The KRUPS XL Air Fryer works by producing hot air. Do not fill the bowl (A) with oil or frying fat.

PREPARING FOR USE

1. Place the appliance on a flat, stable, heat-resistant work surface away from water splashes.
2. Do not fill the bowl with oil or any other liquid.
   Do not put anything on top of the appliance. This disrupts the airflow and affects the hot air frying result.

USING THE APPLIANCE

The KRUPS XL Air Fryer can cook a large range of recipes. Cooking times for the most commonly cooked foods are given in the section ‘Cooking Guide’. Online recipes at www. krupsusa.com help you get to know the appliance.

1. Connect the power supply cord to an electrical socket.

2. Carefully pull the bowl out of the machine.

3. Place the food in the bowl.
   Note: Never fill the bowl beyond the MAX level mark or exceed the maximum amount indicated in the table (see into section ‘Cooking Guide’), as this could affect the quality of the end result.

4. Slide the bowl back into the machine.
   Caution: Do not touch the bowl during use and for some time after use, as it gets very hot. Only hold the bowl by the handle.

5. Move the temperature control knob to the required temperature. See section ‘Cooking Guide’ to select the right temperature

6. Select the required cooking time (see section ‘Cooking Guide’).

7. To switch on the appliance, turn the timer knob to the required cooking time.
   Add 3 minutes to the cooking time stated in the tables on page 8 if the appliance is not preheated.
   To set a short time, turn the timer knob until 10 minutes and then go back to the desired time.
   Note: If you want, you can also let the appliance preheat without any food inside. In this case, turn the timer knob to more than 3 minutes and wait until the pre-heating light goes out (after approx. 3 minutes). Then fill the bowl and turn the timer knob to the required cooking time (see Cooking Guide for timings).
   

   • The timer starts counting down.
   • The heating-up light goes on.
   • During the hot air frying process, the heating-up light goes on and off from time to time. This indicates that the heating element is switched on and off to thermostatically maintain the set temperature.
   • Excess oil from the food is collected in the bottom of the bowl.

8. Some foods require shaking halfway through the cooking time (see section ‘Cooking Guide’). To shake the food, pull the bowl out of the appliance by the handle and shake it. Then slide the bowl back into the appliance.
   Tip: You can set the timer to half of the cooking time, and when the timer sounds shake the ingredients. Then set the timer again for the remaining cooking time.

9. When you hear the timer sound, the cooking time set has finished. Pull the bowl 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 timer control knob to 0.

10. Check if the food is ready.
    If the food is not ready yet, simply slide the bowl back into the appliance and set the timer for a few extra minutes.

11. When the food is cooked, take out the bowl. To remove food, use a pair of tongs to lift the food out of the bowl.
    Caution : When you turn the bowl, be careful of any excess oil collected at the bottom of the bowl that may leak onto the food and of the grid that may fall out. If you turn the bowl, the grid falls off and can burn your hands.
    After hot air frying, the bowl, the grid and the food are very hot. Depending on the type of food cooked be careful as steam may escape from the bowl.

12. When a batch of food is ready, the KRUPS XL Air Fryer is instantly ready for preparing another batch of food.

TIPS

• Smaller foods usually require a slightly shorter cooking time than larger size foods.
• A larger amount of food only requires a slightly longer cooking time, a smaller amount of food only requires a slightly shorter cooking time.
• Shaking smaller size foods halfway through the cooking time improves the end result and can help prevent uneven cooking.
• Add some oil to fresh potatoes for a crispier result. After adding a spoon of oil, fry the potatoes within a few minutes.
• Do not cook extremely greasy foods.
• Snacks that can be cooked in an oven can also be cooked in the KRUPS XL Air Fryer.
• The optimal recommended quantity for cooking fries is 1.54 lbs.
• Use ready made puff and shortcrust pastry to make filled snacks quickly and easily.
• Place an oven dish in the fryer bowl if you want to bake a cake or quiche or if you want to fry fragile ingredients or filled ingredients. You can use an oven dish in silicon, stainless steel, aluminium, terracotta.
• You can also use the KRUPS XL Air Fryer to reheat food. To reheat food, set the temperature to 320°F for up to 10 minutes.

MAKING HOME-MADE FRENCH FRIES
For the best results, we advise to use frozen French Fries. If you want to make home-made French Fries, follow the steps below.

1. Choose a variety of potato recommended for making French Fries. Peel the potatoes and cut them into equal thickness fries.

2. Soak the fries in a bowl of cold water for at least 30 minutes, drain them and dry them with a clean, highly absorbent paper towel. Then pat with paper kitchen towel. The fries must be thoroughly dry before cooking.

3. Pour 1 tablespoon of oil (vegetable, sunflower or olive) in a dry bowl, put the fries on top and mix until they are coated with oil.

4. Remove the fries from the bowl with your fingers or a kitchen utensil so that any excess oil stays behind in the bowl. Place the fries in the bowl.
   Note: Do not tip the container of oil coated fries directly into the bowl in one go, otherwise excess oil will end up at the bottom of the bowl.

5. Cook the fries according to the instructions in the section Cooking guide.

CLEANING

Clean the appliance after every use.
The bowl and the grid have a non-stick coating. Do not use metal kitchen utensils or abrasive cleaning materials to clean them, as this may damage the nonstick coating.

1. Remove the plug from the wall socket and let the appliance cool down. Note: Remove the bowl to let the machine cool down more quickly.

2. Wipe the outside of the appliance with a damp cloth.

3. Clean the bowl and grid with hot water, some dish-washing liquid and a non-abrasive sponge.
   You can use a degreasing liquid to remove any remaining dirt.
   Note: The bowl and grid are dishwasher-safe.
   Tip: If dirt is stuck at the bottom of the bowl and the grid, fill them with hot water and some dish-washing liquid. Let the bowl and the grid soak for approximately 10 minutes. Then rinse clean and dry.

4. Wipe inside of the appliance with hot water and a damp cloth.

5. Clean the heating element with a dry, cleaning brush to remove any food residues.
