prior to first use

Before using the appliance for the first time, proceed as follows: Carefully unpack your appliance and remove all packaging material and possible promotional stickers. Keep the packaging (plastic bags and cardboard) out of reach of children. After unpacking the appliance, carefully check it for external damage that may have occurred during transport. Place the appliance on a sturdy, flat and heat-resistant surface. The control keys are touch controls. Carefully touch the controls with a finger to activate them. At each touch of a touch control, you can hear a sound signal.

STAND-BY

When the plug is inserted in the socket, a sound signal can be heard. The stand-by key lights up. The appliance automatically switches to stand-by mode when:

• inserting the plug in the socket;
• no keys are touched for 1 minute;
• the time set on the timer has passed;
• when pressing [STANDBY] while the appliance is working.

SWITCHING ON/OFF

Switch the appliance on and off with [STANDBY].

• The appliance will only function when the basket is in the appliance correctly.
• Once the timer is on 00:00, it will count down 20 seconds again. During that time, the fan continues to run to cool the appliance.
  After that, a sound signal can be heard.

PRIOR TO FIRST USE
Check the voltage. The appliance will only work safely on alternate current with a voltage that is indicated on the information plate of the appliance. Only insert the plug of the appliance into a earthed socket The heating element has been provided with a protective layer. Switch on the appliance and allow it to operate at maximum level without food for 10 minutes. In this way, the protective layer around the heating element is burned off perfectly. A little bit of smoke may be created during this action. Therefore ensure sufficient ventilation. When the protective layer has disappeared, switch off the appliance. Remove the plug from the socket and clean the insert grille and baskets before you actually start using the appliance. Wash the insert grilles and baskets with soapy water or in the dishwasher. The inside and outside of the appliance itself can be wiped with a soft, damp cloth.

The appliance works with hot air. This means that you should never use oil, other liquids or frying fat for preparing food.

• Place the appliance on a sturdy, flat and heat-resistant surface.
• Place one of the insert grilles in each basket. Make sure you place the insert grille correctly: with the rubbers pointing down.
• Place the baskets in the appliance.

CAUTION! If the baskets are not placed correctly, the appliance will not function. Do not fill the baskets with oil or other liquids. Place nothing on top of the appliance. Do not cover air inlet or outlet openings. Covered air openings will disrupt the air circulation and will have a negative effect on the frying result. SETTING TEMPERATURE AND TIME Press [+] and [–] on the left side of the control panel to set a higher or lower temperature. The temperature changes in steps of 5 °C. Press [+] and [–] on the right side of the control panel to set a longer or shorter time. The time changes in steps of 1 minute.

general operation

General

• Place the appliance on a sturdy, flat and heat-resistant surface, near an earthed socket.
• Place the insert grille in the basket. For drying, see ‘Drying (dehydrating)’ below.
• Fill the baskets with food to a maximum of two thirds of their capacity. In this way, sufficient hot air is allowed to circulate. When preparing fresh vegetables or fruit, we recommend not placing more than 250 to 375 grammes in one basket. For dehydrating, see ‘Drying (dehydrating)’ below.
• Place the filled basket in the appliance. Make sure you place the basket correctly: the correct basket on the right side and fully inserted.

Drying (dehydrating)

You can dehydrate a maximum of 750 grammes of vegetables/fruit per basket.

• Place a first layer of vegetables/fruit directly in the basket, i.e. without the insert grille.
• Place the insert grille on the first layer of vegetables/fruit.
• Now place the second layer of vegetables/fruit on the insert grille.

Switching on and switching off
When the plug is inserted in the socket, a sound signal can be heard. The control panel lights up briefly. The stand-by key lights up. When pressing [STANDBY], a sound signal can be heard and all keys light up. When the appliance is working, you switch off the appliance with [STANDBY]. As long as the plug is in the socket, the appliance will not switch off completely, but will remain in stand-by mode. Completely switch off the appliance when you will not be using it. For that purpose, you must remove the plug from the socket.

Selecting the left or right basket
When switching on the appliance with the stand-by key, a sound signal can be heard. You can then select the left basket, right basket
or both baskets.

• For the left basket, press [L].
• For the right basket, press [R].
• For both baskets, press [DUAL COOK].

for both baskets at the same time. Setting temperature and time Press [+] and [–] on the left side of the control panel to set a higher or lower temperature. The temperature changes in steps of 5 °C. Press [+] and [–] on the right side of the control panel to set a longer or shorter time. The time changes in steps of 1 minute. When using the drying program, the time changes in steps of 1 hour and not in steps of 1 minute.

You can set both the time and temperature for each basket separately. This can be done in advance, but also during the cooking process. Press [L] or [R]. Once the key starts to flash, adjust the required time or temperature. Once the timer is on 00:00, it will count down 20 seconds again. The fan continues to run to cool the appliance. A sound signal can be heard when it is safe to remove the food from the appliance. The preparation time depends on the volume, weight and density of the food. Keep in mind that smaller amounts of food require less time, which will be beneficial to the quality. Check the food halfway the cooking process and adjust time and temperature if necessary.

Once you have set the time and temperature, press [START/PAUSE] to start the cooking process. When the cooking process is taking
place, press [START/PAUSE] to interrupt the process.
Synchronizing
First set the time and temperature for both baskets. If you want the dishes in both baskets to be ready at the same time, press [SYNC]. Then press [START/PAUSE] to start the cooking process. The cooking time is shown on both the left and right side, but counting down starts on the side with the longest cooking time. Once the remaining time is identical on both sides, both timers will continue to count down simultaneously. Once the cooking process is taking place, you are no longer able to synchronize.
Shaking
Once approximately two thirds of the cooking time have passed, the appliance will provide a sound signal 5 times. In this way, the appliance reminds you to shake the basket. Such a warning is provided for all preparation methods, except for frying, heating and drying. Press [SHAKING] to switch OFF this warning function. SHAKING will then no longer be visible on the display. When setting a cooking time that is shorter than 3 minutes, the shaking function will not be active.
Roasting
Insert a cooking thermometer in the centre of a piece of meat, so that you can be certain that the required level of doneness has been achieved. Roast the meat to 5 °C to 10 °C below the recommended temperature for the desired level of doneness, remove the meat from the appliance and let it rest for 15 to 20 minutes before serving. The temperature continues to rise while resting! For the best result, you will roast the meat as one piece. Season the meat prior to roasting. This ensures a better flavour and a delicious smell while roasting. A small layer of fat on the meat promotes browning. You can speed up the browning process by brushing the meat with a little oil, margarine or melted butter. First roast the meat with the fatty side upwards and turn it halfway the roasting time. The appliance gives a warning when two thirds of the roasting time have passed. If you do not want this warning, press [SHAKING].
Frying
Normally, you will use [FRYING] for thinly sliced tender meats or marinated meats such as pork chops, chicken or fish, but also for vegetables and fruit. Dab marinated meats dry before frying them. This stimulates the browning process and prevents excess vaporization. For a quicker browning process and a beautiful gloss, you can brush the meat with oil or melted butter. Remove excess fat and score the meat to prevent it from curling. Defrost meat and fish before frying it. The frying time depends on the level of doneness that you want to achieve for your meat. Always use a cooking thermometer. Use [FRYING] if you want to melt cheese or brown breadcrumbs.
Baking
When using [BAKING], it may be necessary to set the temperature lower than the recipe indicates. The maximum temperature for baking is 200 °C.
Drying
When manually selecting settings for drying (dehydrating), the time setting changes in steps of 1 hour. Use [DRYING] for fresh, ripe fruit to preserve nutrients and intensify flavour. During drying, the temperature is approximately 55 °C and a fan ensures a continuous air flow. For an even dehydration, you must regularly turn the products. Vegetables and fruit are only turned halfway the dehydration process. Rinse vegetables and fruit properly clean and cut fruit into slices just over half a centimetre thick. Do make sure that the slices do not make contact. In this way you can make sure that the air flow makes contact with all surfaces.

tips

• Smaller ingredients usually require a slightly shorter cooking time.
• A larger amount of ingredients only requires a little more time, and a smaller amount requires a little less cooking time.
• Shaking smaller ingredients several times during the cooking time results in a better and more even end result.
• Do not cook extremely fat ingredients such as sausages in the appliance.
• Snacks that you would cook in an oven, can also be cooked in the hot air fryer.
• The maximum amount is 2 times 800 grammes.
• If necessary, use an oil spray to lightly oil the ingredients. This will make them even more crispy.
• Use ready-made dough to prepare filled snacks quickly and easily. Ready-made dough also cooks faster than home-made dough.
• Place a baking tin or oven dish in the pan if you want to make a cake or quiche, or if you want to cook delicate or filled ingredients.
• You can also use the appliance to heat food. Select the program [HEATING]. The appliance heats your dish for 6 minutes at 120 °C.
• Add 3 minutes to the cooking time if the appliance is cold.
• The turbo technology immediately reheats the air in the appliance. For that reason, it makes no difference for the end result if you briefly remove the basket from the appliance.
  As ingredients can differ in origin, dimension, shape and brand, Inventum is unable to indicate the most optimum setting.

cleaning and maintenance

Clean the appliance as follows after each use. Allow the appliance to cool down before cleaning it. After frying, the metal interior is hot. Do not touch the interior immediately after frying. When cleaning the baskets and insert grilles, do not use metal kitchenware or abrasive agents, as these could damage the anti-stick coating.
