Before First Use

Remove all packaging material. Remove any stickers or labels from the appliance. Thoroughly clean the basket and the pan with hot water, some washing-up liquid, and a non-abrasive sponge. Wipe the inside and outside of the appliance with a moist cloth. Place the appliance on a stable, horizontal, and level surface; do not place the appliance on non-heat-resistant surfaces. Place the basket in the pan properly. This is an air fryer that works on hot air. Do not fill the pan with oil or frying fat. To prevent disruptions of the airflow, do not put anything on top of the appliance and ensure there is always 10 centimeters of free space around the appliance.

Use

Put the mains plug into an earthed wall socket. Carefully pull the pan out of the air fryer. Put the ingredients in the basket. Slide the pan back into the air fryer. Never use the pan without the basket in it. Do not touch the pan during and some time after use, as it gets very hot. Only hold the pan by the handle. Turn the temperature control knob to the required temperature. Determine the required preparation time for the ingredient. To switch on the appliance, turn the timer knob to the required preparation time; add 3 minutes to the preparation time when the appliance is cold. The timer starts counting down the set preparation time. During the hot air frying process, the heating-up light comes on and goes out from time to time. This indicates that the heating element is switched on and off to maintain the set temperature. Excess oil from the ingredients is collected on the bottom of the pan. Some ingredients require shaking halfway through the preparation time. 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. Do not press the basket release button during shaking. When you hear the timer bell, the set preparation time has elapsed. Pull the pan out of the appliance and place it on a heat-resistant surface. 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 to a few extra minutes. 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 collected on the bottom of the pan will leak onto the ingredients. Empty the basket into a bowl or onto a plate. When a batch of ingredients is ready, the air fryer is instantly ready for preparing another batch.

Cooking Guide

Tips

Shaking smaller ingredients halfway during the preparation time optimizes the end result and can help prevent unevenly fried ingredients. Add some oil to fresh potatoes for a crispy result. Fry your ingredients in the air fryer within a few minutes after you've added the oil. Do not prepare extremely greasy ingredients such as sausages in the air fryer. Place a baking tin or oven dish in the basket if you want to bake a cake or quiche or if you want to fry fragile 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.

Cleaning and Maintenance

Before cleaning, unplug the appliance and wait for it to cool down. Never immerse the device in water or any other liquid. The device is not dishwasher-proof. Clean the pan and basket with hot water, some washing-up liquid, and a non-abrasive sponge. The pan and basket are not dishwasher-proof. If dirt is stuck to the basket 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 about 10 minutes. Clean the appliance with a damp cloth. Never use harsh and abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or steel wool, which can damage the device.
