Making home-made fries

To make great home-made fries in the Air fryer:

Choose a potato variety suitable for making fries, e.g. fresh,(slightly) floury potatoes.
It is best to air fry the fries in portions of up to 500 g/18 oz for an even result. Larger fries tend to be less crispy than smaller fries.

Peel the potatoes and cut into sticks (10 x 10 mm/0.4 x 0.4 in thick).
Soak the potato sticks in a bowl of water for at least 30 minutes.
Empty the bowl and dry the potato sticks with a dish towel or paper towel.
Pour one tablespoon of cooking oil into the bowl, put the sticks in the bowl and mix until the sticks are coated with oil.
Remove the sticks from the bowl with your fingers or a slotted kitchen utensil so excess oil remains in the bowl.
Note
Do not tilt the bowl to pour all the sticks in the basket at once to prevent excess oil from going into the pan.
Put the sticks into the basket.
Fry the potato sticks and shake the basket 2-3 times during cooking.

Cleaning
Warning

Let the basket, the pan, and the inside of the appliance cool down completely before you start cleaning.
The pan, the basket, and the inside of the appliance have a non-stick coating. Do not use metal kitchen utensils or abrasive cleaning materials as this may damage the non-stick coating.

Clean the appliance after every use. Remove oil and fat from the bottom of the pan after every use.

Press the power On/Off ( ) button to switch off the appliance, remove the plug from the wall outlet and let the appliance cool down.
Tip
- Remove the pan and the basket to let the Airfryer cool down more quickly.
Dispose of rendered fat or oil from the bottom of the pan.
Clean the pan and the basket in a dishwasher. You can also clean them with hot water, dishwashing liquid and a non-abrasive sponge (see “Cleaning table”).
Note
- Put the pan with the rubber plug in the dishwasher. Do not remove the rubber plug before cleaning. Tip
- If food residues stuck to the pan or the basket, you can soak them in hot water and dishwashing liquid for 10–15 minutes. Soaking loosens the food residues and makes it easier to remove. Make sure you use a dishwashing liquid that can dissolve oil and grease. If there are grease stains on the pan or the basket and you have not been able to remove them with hot water and dishwashing liquid, use a liquid degreaser.
- If necessary, food residues stuck to the heating element can be removed with a soft to medium bristle brush. Do not use a steel wire brush or a hard bristle brush, as this might damage the coating on the heating element.
Wipe the outside of the appliance with a moist cloth. Note
- Make sure no moisture remains on the control panel. Dry the control panel with a cloth after you have cleaned it.
Clean the heating element with a cleaning brush to remove any food residues.
Clean the inside of the appliance with hot water and a non-abrasive sponge.

Cleaning table

Storage

Note

Always hold the Air fryer horizontally when you carry it. Make sure that you also hold the pan on the front part of the appliance as the pan with the basket can slide out of the appliance if accidentally tilted downwards. This can lead to damaging of these parts.
Always make sure that the removable parts of the Airfryer are fixed before you carry and/or store it.
