V. USING THE APPLIANCE

Your new air fryer allows you to prepare your favorite ingredients and snacks in a healthier way. The air fryer uses hot air in combination with high-speed air circulation (Rapid Air) and a top grill to prepare a variety of tasty dishes in a healthy, fast, and easy way. Your ingredients are heated from all sides at once, and there is no need to add oil to most ingredients. With the additional baking tray, you can now make dishes like cakes and quiches and cook fragile food more conveniently.

BEFORE FIRST USE

1. Remove all packaging material.
2. Remove any stickers or labels from the appliance.
3. Thoroughly clean the basket and pan with hot water, some washing-up liquid, and a non-abrasive sponge. Note: You can also clean these parts in the dishwasher.
4. Wipe the inside and outside of the appliance with a moist cloth.

This is an air fryer that works on hot air. Do not fill the pan with oil or frying fat.

PREPARING FOR USE

1. Place the appliance on a stable, horizontal, and level surface. Do not place the appliance on non-heat-resistant surfaces.
2. Place the basket in the pan properly.
3. Do not fill the pan with oil or any other liquid. Do not put anything on top of the appliance, as this disrupts the airflow and affects the hot air frying result.

USING THE APPLIANCE

The air fryer can prepare a large range of ingredients. The recipe booklet included helps you get to know the appliance.

HOT AIR FRYING

1. Plug the mains into an earthed wall socket.
2. Carefully pull the pan out of the air fryer.
3. Put the ingredients in the basket.

NOTE: Never fill the basket beyond the MAX indication or exceed the amount indicated in the table (see section 'Settings' in this chapter), as this could affect the quality of the end result. Make sure you check the preparation time and the temperature required for the different ingredients before you start to prepare them simultaneously. Potato cubes and schnitzel, for example, can be prepared simultaneously because they require the same settings. Please note that the maximum amount for each of the ingredients is half the normal amount.

4. Slide the pan back into the air fryer. Never use the pan without the basket in it.

Caution: Do not touch the pan during and sometime after use, as it gets very hot. Only hold the pan by the handle.

5. Press the power button (symbol ⏻) to activate the machine, and press the time button to set the required time. If you cannot find the settings on the screen, please see the "Settings" section in this book to determine the right temperature and time for your foods. The initial setting temperature is 200°C, and the time is 15 minutes.
6. Press the power button (symbol ⏻) to start cooking; the heating light will illuminate.

If the appliance is cold start, please increase cooking time by 3 minutes.

Caution: If necessary, you can preheat the empty appliance. Put the basket into the pan, and then push the pan back into the appliance, set the time to 3 minutes, and finally, put the ingredients and set the cooking time.

• The display shows the time countdown for the set time.
• Excess oil from ingredients will be collected in the bottom of the pan.

7. Some ingredients require shaking halfway through the preparation time (see "Settings" section). To shake the ingredients, pull the pan out of the appliance by the handle and shake it. Then slide the pan back into the air fryer.

Tip: If you set the timer to half the preparation time, you will hear the timer bell when you need to shake the ingredients. However, this means you have to set the timer again for the remaining preparation time after shaking.

Tip: To reduce the weight, you can remove the basket from the pan and shake the basket only. To do so, pull the pan out of the appliance, place it on a heat-resistant surface, and press the basket release button.

• During operation, the heating indicator light will cycle on and off, indicating that the heating component is turning on and off to maintain the temperature.
• The residual oil in the food will be collected in the bottom of the pan.

8. Some food needs turning. Please see the "Settings" section in this chapter. When turning food, please hold the handle and pull the pan out of the product.

Note: Please do not press the safe cover when you turn foods.

9. When the screen shows "0", the set preparation time has elapsed. Pull the pan out of the appliance and place it on a heat-resistant surface.

Note: You can also switch off the preparation manually by pressing the power button (symbol ⏻).

10. Check if the ingredients are ready. If the ingredients are not ready yet, simply slide the pan back into the appliance and set the timer for a few extra minutes.
11. To remove small ingredients (e.g., fries), press the basket release button and lift the basket out of the pan.

• Do not turn the basket upside down with the pan still attached to it, as any excess oil that has collected on the bottom of the pan will leak onto the ingredients.
• After hot air frying, the pan and the ingredients are hot. Depending on the type of ingredients in the air fryer, steam may escape from the pan.

12. Empty the basket into a bowl or onto a plate.

Tip: To remove large or fragile ingredients, use a pair of tongs to lift the ingredients out of the basket.

13. When a batch of ingredients is ready, the air fryer is instantly ready for preparing another batch.

Settings

This table below helps you to select the basic settings for the ingredients you want to prepare.

Note: Keep in mind that these settings are indications, as ingredients differ in origin, size, shape, as well as brand. We cannot guarantee the best setting for your ingredients. Because the Rapid Air technology instantly reheats the air inside the appliance, pulling the pan briefly out of the appliance during hot air frying barely disturbs the process.

Tips

• Smaller ingredients usually require a slightly shorter preparation time than larger ingredients.
• A larger amount of ingredients only requires a slightly longer preparation time; a smaller amount of ingredients only requires a slightly shorter preparation time.
• Shaking smaller ingredients halfway through the preparation time optimizes the end result and can help prevent unevenly fried ingredients.
• Do not prepare extremely greasy ingredients such as sausages in the air fryer.
• Snacks that can be prepared in an oven can also be prepared in the air fryer.
• The optimal amount for preparing crispy fries is 500 grams.
• Use pre-made dough to prepare filled snacks quickly and easily. Pre-made dough also requires a shorter preparation time than home-made dough.
• Place the baking tray or oven dish in the air fryer basket if you want to bake a cake or quiche or if you want to fry fragile ingredients or filled ingredients.
• You can also use the air fryer to reheat ingredients. To reheat ingredients, set the temperature to 150°C for up to 10 minutes.

Potatoes and French fries

Meat

Snacks

Cakes

Note: If the air fryer is cold start, please increase cooking time by 3 minutes.

Note: When you use ingredients that rise (such as with cake, quiche or muffins), the baking tray should not be filled more than halfway.

Making home-made fries

For the best results, we advise using pre-baked (e.g. frozen) fries. If you want to make home-made fries, follow the steps below.

1. Peel the potatoes and cut them into sticks.
2. Soak the potato sticks in a bowl for at least 30 minutes, take them out, and dry them with kitchen paper.
3. Pour 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil into a bowl, put the fries on top, and mix until they are coated with oil.
4. Remove the sticks from the bowl with your fingers or a kitchen utensil, leaving any excess oil behind in the bowl. Put the sticks in the basket.

Note: Do not tilt the bowl to put all the fries in the basket at once. Doing so may allow excess oil to fall into the bottom of the pan.

5. Fry the potato sticks according to the instructions in this chapter.

VI. CLEANING AND STORAGE

Clean the appliance after every use. The pan, baking tray, separator, basket, and the inside of the appliance have a non-stick coating. Do not use metal kitchen utensils or abrasive cleaning materials to clean them, as this may damage the non-stick coating.

1. Remove the mains plug from the wall socket and let the appliance cool down.

Note: Remove the pan to let the air fryer cool down more quickly.

2. Wipe the outside of the appliance with a moist cloth.
3. Clean the pan, baking tray, separator, and basket with hot water, some washing-up liquid, and a non-abrasive sponge. You can use a degreasing liquid to remove any remaining dirt.

Note: The pan, baking tray, separator, and basket are dishwasher-proof.

Tip: If dirt is stuck to the basket, the baking tray, or the bottom of the pan, fill the pan with hot water with some washing-up liquid. Put the basket in the pan and let the pan and the basket soak for approximately 10 minutes.

4. Clean the inside of the appliance with hot water and a non-abrasive sponge.
5. Clean the heating element with a cleaning brush to remove any food residues.

Storage

1. Unplug the appliance and let it cool down.
2. Make sure all parts are clean and dry.

Environment

Do not throw away the appliance with the normal household waste at the end of its life; instead, hand it in at an official collection point for recycling. By doing this, you help to preserve the environment.
