Fry your ingredients in the air fryer within a few minutes after you add the oil. · 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. · 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 a baking tin or oven dish in the air fryer pan if you want to bake a cake or quiche or if you want to fry fragile ingredients or filled ingredients. Note: Because the rapid hot air technology instantly reheats the air inside the appliance, pulling the pan out of the appliance during use, for a short amount of time, will not effect the process. Tip: If you set the timer to half the preparation time, your timer will ring when you have to shake the ingredients. However, this means that you have to set the timer again to the remaining preparation time after shaking. (see `Settings Chart' on page 12). Tip: If you set the timer to full preparation time, there is no timer bell during cooking. Before finishing, you can pull out the pan at any time to check the ingredients cooking condition. The power will shut down automatically and, will only resume after you slide the pan back into the appliance (timer always counts down in this situation). 19111 SETTING'SSECTHTAIRNTGS CHART SETTINGS CHART (The chart below are the basic settings for preparing your food.)
