THE UNIT:

PREPARING FOR USE:

1. Place the appliance on a stable, horizontal and level surface that is also heat resistant.
2. Place the grill tray in the frying basket.
– Do not fill the frying basket with oil or any other liquid.
– Do not put anything on top of the appliance. This disrupts the airflow.

USING THE AIR FRYER:

This is an air fryer that works on hot air. Do not fill the fry pot with oil or frying fat.
1. Plug in the appliance to the mains power supply.
2. Carefully pull the frying basket out of the air fryer. Ensure the grill tray is inside the frying basket.
Put the food into the frying basket without the grill pan in place.
– Note : Never fill the frying basket beyond the amount indicated in the table shown in the section
COOKING TIMES AND TEMPERATURES, as this could affect the quality of the food.
3. Slide the frying basket back into the air fryer.
4. Turn the temperature control knob to the required temperature. To switch on the appliance, turn the timer knob to the required  preparation time. Add 3 minutes to the preparation time when the appliance is cold.
– Note: You can also let the appliance preheat without any food inside.
In that case, turn the timer knob to a little more than 3 minutes and set your chosen cooking temperature.
Wait until the timer light goes out (after 3 minutes).
Then fill the frying basket with food and turn the timer knob to the required preparation time.
5. The timer indicator (red) will remain on while the air fryer is operating. The timer starts counting down the set preparation time.
6. Excess oil from the food is collected at the bottom of the frying basket.
7. Some foods require shaking halfway through the preparation time. To shake the food, pull the frying basket out of the appliance by the  handle and shake it. Then slide the frying basket back into the air fryer.
– Tip : If you set the timer to half the preparation time, you 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.
8. When you hear the timer bell, the set preparation time has elapsed. Pull the frying basket 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 knob anticlockwise to 0.
9. Check if the food is thoroughly cooked. If the food isn’t ready yet, simply slide the frying basket back into the appliance and set the timer to a few extra minutes.
10. After hot air frying, the frying basket, grill tray and the food are all hot. Depending on the type of recipe in the air fryer, steam may escape form the frying basket. Use tongs (not included) to remove the cooked food out of the frying basket. For foods like chips, tip the  basket onto the serving plate. The air fryer is ready to be used again.

COOKING TIMES AND TEMPERATURES:

– This table helps you to select the basic settings for the food you want to prepare.
Note : Keep in mind that these settings are only for reference. As ingredients differ in origin, size, shape as well as brand, we cannot guarantee the best setting for your ingredients.
– Due to the Rapid Air Technology instantly reheating the air inside the appliance, pulling the frying basket out during hot air frying will disturb the process.
– Shaking smaller ingredients halfway through the preparation time prevents uneven cooking.
– You can coat fresh potatoes with a little oil for a crispy result.
– Do not prepare extremely greasy foods such as sausages in the air fryer.
– Snacks like frozen spring rolls that can be prepared in an oven can also be prepared in the air fryer.
– You can also use the air fryer to reheat food by setting the temperature to 150°C and the timer to around 10 minutes.

TIPS :
– A smaller amount of food requires a slightly shorter preparation time; a larger amount of food needs a slightly longer preparation time.
– It is recommended not to fill the frying basket of the air fryer beyond ¾ of its capacity. The maximum amount of ingredients that can be  prepared depends on the kind of food you want to prepare.
– Shaking smaller ingredients halfway through the preparation time optimizes the end result and can help prevent unevenly fried ingredients.
– 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 (not included) or oven dish (not included) in the air fryer pot 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℃ for up to 10 minutes.
– If you use oven-ready snacks, do not add oil because they are usually pre- fried and become golden brown and crispy when prepared in the air fryer.
– If you use oven-ready snacks and they do not become crispy and stay pale, please check the following:
a. The amount of ingredients: Put smaller batches of ingredients in the fry pot. Cover the bottom of the fry pot with just one layer. Smaller batches are fried more evenly.
b. The preparation time: If you have not preheated the appliance before you put in the snacks, make sure you add 3 minutes extra to the preparation time when you set the timer.
c. Most snacks need the preparation time indicated for the oven to become fully cooked.
d. If your croquettes or snacks burst when you prepare them in the air fryer, choose a shorter preparation time.

CLEANING:
Clean the appliance after every use. The grill tray, frying basket and the inside of the appliance have a non-stick coating. Do not use metal  kitchen utensils or abrasive cleaning materials to clean these parts, as this may damage the non-stick coating.
1. Unplug the appliance from the mains power supply and allow it to cool down.
2. Wipe the outside of the appliance with a moist cloth.
3. Clean the frying basket and grill tray with hot water, some dish washing liquid soap and a nonabrasive sponge. You can use a degreasing liquid to remove stubborn spots. If food residue is stuck to the frying basket or the grill tray, fill the frying basket with hot water and some dish washing liquid soap. Put the grill tray in the frying basket and let the grill tray and the frying basket soak for approximately 10 minutes.
4. Lightly brush the heating element with a cleaning brush to remove any crumbs.
STORAGE:
1. Unplug the appliance from the mains power supply and allow it to cool down.
2. Make sure all parts are clean and dry.
3. Store in an upright position with the frying basket closed.
