• Some foods (potatoes, chicken, meatballs, vegetables, etc.) may require shaking or turning over halfway through the cooking time. Remove the pan halfway through the cooking time and check for doneness. If necessary, continue cooking by shaking and/or turning upside down to ensure even cooking.
• When baking pastry, you can bake using heat-resistant silicone, paper, etc., cake molds in the basket. Ensure that the ingredients you use do not block the air channels on the bottom and sides of the pan.
• Small pieces of food usually have a shorter cooking time than large pieces.
• It’s better to slice and wash fresh potatoes, dry them thoroughly, and fry them with very little oil.
• Avoid cooking excessively fatty foods in your appliance.
• During cooking, you can add a small amount of water to the pan in which the basket is placed to prevent excess oil from drying out and burning in the pan.

Before cleaning, ensure the appliance is unplugged from the socket and allow it to cool. Do not use abrasive and harsh chemical cleaners (such as bleach or spirit), metal objects, hard sponges, wire cleaners, or stiff brushes to clean the main body, pan, and cooking basket of your appliance. These may damage the non-stick coating of the pan and basket.
You can clean the pan and the removable cooking basket with warm, soapy water using a soft sponge. To clean the inside of the appliance, brush it with a soft-tipped brush and then wipe it with a sponge. Wipe the outer surfaces of the appliance with a soft, slightly damp cloth and then dry it.
After each use, pour out the remaining oil in the reservoir and clean the basket. Regular cleaning is recommended, as residual oil may dry and become sticky over time. Always dry the pan and basket after cleaning.
Store your appliance in a cool and dry place, out of the reach of children, until your next use.
As it may cause erosion over time due to high temperatures and potential contact with metal accessories that can be cleaned together, it is not recommended to wash the non-stick coated pan and basket and painted parts of your appliance in the dishwasher.
