Do not fill the container with oil. The appliance is not intended for cooking classic deep-fried dishes. Filling the container with oil may present a risk of creating a dangerous situation. The healthy method of frying is based on the principle of hot air circulation, which requires no or very little oil.

Before cleaning, unplug the appliance and let it cool down completely.

After hot air frying, the outer container, the frying rack and the cooked food will be very hot. Extreme care must be taken when handling the hot outer container and frying grid.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT THE POWER CABLE
To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not attempt to modify the cable connector in any way. The length of the power cord reduces the risk of entanglement or tripping over the power cord.

PREPARATION – BEFORE FIRST USE

Remove all packaging and advertising stickers, including the protective film on the control panel.
Place the appliance on a stable horizontal surface. Do not place the appliance on surfaces that are not heat resistant. Ensure sufficient free space on all sides (at least 20 cm at the sides and 50 cm at the top).
Wipe the appliance with a soft damp cloth and dry it thoroughly.
You can place food directly on the grid without using foil or baking paper. When baking, you can use the original TESLA baking mold or baking sheet, which you can buy in the TESLA e-shop.
Do not remove the four silicone feet from the grid.

COOKING TIPS

Preheating the fryer appliance before adding food will generally ensure the best cooking results. When cooking multiple batches in a row, preheat only the first batch.
Shake or turn the food halfway through the cooking time to ensure even browning. Shaking usually requires smaller foods that are stacked, such as chips or nuggets.
By ensuring better circulation of hot air, you will achieve better cooking results. Therefore, do not overfill the removable container with food and, if necessary, shake the food.
A few minutes before the end of the cooking time, check whether the food is sufficiently cooked and if necessary, cook it longer.
Make sure the meat has reached a safe cooking temperature.
An air fryer works much like a toaster oven; follow the preparation instructions on the package or in the oven recipe.
Smaller pieces of food usually require slightly less cooking time than larger pieces.
When cooking multiple batches in a row, preheat only the first batch.
Soak fresh potato fries in water for 15 minutes to remove starch before frying. Then pat the fries dry and mix with 1 tablespoon of oil to make them crispier.
To get a crispier surface, we recommend spraying/mixing the food with classic table oil.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

NEVER immerse the cord, plug or appliance in water or any other liquid.

Clean the appliance after each use.
Before cleaning, unplug the appliance and let it cool down completely.
We recommend cleaning the appliance immediately after it cools down, before food residues dry out.
Wipe the base of the appliance and the exterior with a damp cloth.
Removable parts that are intended for contact with food can be washed in a dishwasher, but we still recommend hand washing for longer protection (durability) of the non-stick surface.
To maintain the non-stick coating for as long as possible, do not use sharp or metal objects, abrasive cleaning agents or rough sponges and wire brushes.
Wash these parts under warm running water with the addition of neutral kitchen detergent and a soft sponge. Then rinse them with clean water, dry them properly and put them back in their place.
If residue sticks to the bottom of the removable basket, fill it with hot soapy water and let it soak in, then wash it with a soft sponge.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Problem	Solution
The appliance does not work.	Check that the device is really connected to the

mains.
Insert the outer container completely into the appliance
The food is not fully cooked.| Place smaller portions of food in the removable basket. If the basket is too full, the food may be undercooked.
Increase the temperature or cooking time
The food is not crispy after frying.| Spraying food with a small amount of oil can increase crispness.
The fries were not cooked well.| Add a small amount of oil, approx. 15 ml. When making raw potato chips, soak uncooked chips in water for 15 minutes to remove starch before frying. Dry them before adding a small amount of oil.
Cut uncooked French fries into 0.5 cm x 7 cm strips
Make sure the baskets and the inside of the appliance are properly cleaned and free of grease
Cooking fatty foods will cause oil to leak into the outer container. This oil will produce white smoke and the container may be hotter than usual. This is normal and should not affect cooking. Handle the container with care.
