6. Determine the required preparation time for the ingredients (see "Settings" for more info)
7. To switch on the appliance, turn the timer knob to the required preparation time.
Note
: Add 3 minutes to the preparation time when the appliance is cold.
Note
: If you want, you can also let the appliance preheat without any ingredients inside. In that
case, turn the timer knob to more than 3 minutes and wait until the heating-up light goes out
(after approx. 3 min). Then fill the basket and turn the timer knob to the required preparation
time.
a. The power-on light and the heating-up light should turn on.
b. The timer will start counting down from the set preparation time.
c. 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.
d. Excess oil from the ingredients is collected on the bottom of the pan.
8. Some ingredients require shaking halfway through the preparation time (see "Settings" for
more info). 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.
Caution
: Do not press the button on the handle during 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
button on the handle.
Tip
: If you set the timer to half the preparation time, you will hear the timer bell 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.
9. 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.
Note
: You can also switch off the appliance manually. To do this, turn the time control knob to
0.
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 to a few extra minutes.
11. To remove ingredients (e.g. fries), pull the pan out of the air fryer and place it on a heat-
resistant surface and press the basket release button, then lift the basket out of the pan.
Note
: 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.
Note
: After air frying, the pan and the ingredients will be hot. Depending on the type of the
ingredients in the air fryer, steam may also escape from the pan.
12. Empty the basket into a bowl or onto a plate.
