5. Operating Instructions
General Operation:

- Set Temperature: Turn the temperature dial to your desired cooking temperature. Refer to recipe guidelines or the cooking chart for recommended settings.
- Set Timer: Turn the timer dial to the required cooking time. The appliance will start heating immediately.
- Monitor Cooking: For even cooking, some foods may require shaking or flipping halfway through the cooking process. To do this, carefully pull out the frying pan by the handle, shake or flip the food, and then slide the pan back in. The appliance will resume cooking.
- Cooking Completion: When the timer reaches zero, the appliance will emit an audible signal and automatically shut off.
- Remove Food: Carefully pull out the frying pan. Use tongs or other heat-resistant utensils to remove the cooked food from the basket. Avoid tipping the basket directly to prevent any residual oil from dripping onto the food.

Cooking Tips:
- Smaller ingredients usually require a shorter cooking time than larger ingredients.
- A larger amount of ingredients only requires a slightly longer cooking time.
- Shaking smaller ingredients halfway through the cooking process optimizes the end result and can help prevent unevenly fried ingredients.
- Add a little oil to fresh potatoes for a crispy result. Fry your ingredients in the Non-Oil Fryer within a few minutes after you've added the oil.
- Snacks that can be prepared in an oven can also be prepared in the Non-Oil Fryer.

| The Non-Oil Fryer does not work. | The appliance is not plugged in. The timer is not set. | Plug the main plug into a grounded wall socket. Turn the timer dial to the desired cooking time. |
