Settings & Tips

You can also set custom time and temperature. Settings are indicative; results may vary based on ingredient origin, size, shape, and brand.

• Smaller ingredients usually require shorter preparation times.
• Larger quantities may require slightly longer times; smaller quantities, slightly shorter.
• Shaking smaller ingredients halfway optimizes results and prevents uneven cooking.
• Coat fresh potatoes with a little oil for crispiness. Fry soon after adding oil.
• Do not prepare extremely greasy ingredients (e.g., sausages).
• Oven-prepared snacks can also be made in the air fryer.
• Optimal amount for crispy fries: 500g.
• Use pre-made dough for quick filled snacks.
• Reheat ingredients at 150°C for about 10 minutes.

Making Home-Made Fries

For best results, use pre-baked fries. For home-made fries:

1. Peel and cut potatoes into sticks.
2. Soak sticks in water for at least 30 minutes. Drain and dry with paper towels.
3. Mix sticks with 1/2 tbsp olive oil in a bowl until coated.
4. Remove sticks, leaving excess oil in the bowl. Place sticks in the tray.

Note: Do not tilt the bowl to transfer all sticks at once to avoid excess oil pooling.

5. Fry potato sticks as per instructions.

Cleaning

Clean after every use. The frying tray and interior have a non-stick coating. Do not use metal utensils or abrasive cleaners.

1. Unplug and let the appliance cool down. Remove the frying tray for faster cooling.
2. Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth.
3. Clean the frying tray and rack with hot water, mild soap, and a non-abrasive sponge. A washing liquid can remove stubborn dirt.

Note: The frying tray is dishwasher-proof.

Tip: For stuck-on residue, fill the tray with hot water and soap, place the rack inside, and soak for ~10 minutes.

4. Clean the interior with hot water and a non-abrasive sponge.
5. Clean the heating element with a cleaning brush to remove food residue.

Storage
