SWITCHING OFF THE APPLIANCE
Press the power symbol to turn off the appliance. Unplug the appliance when not in use.
COOKING TIPS
Preheating (PREHEAT) the fryer appliance before adding food will generally ensure the best
cooking results.
By shaking or turning the food (SHAKE) halfway through the cooking time, you will achieve even
browning. Shaking usually requires smaller foods that are stacked, such as chips or nuggets.
Make sure the meat has reached a safe cooking temperature.
An air fryer works much like a toaster oven; follow the preparation instructions on the package or
in the oven recipe.
Smaller pieces of food usually require slightly less cooking time than larger pieces.
When cooking multiple batches in a row, preheat only the first batch.
Soak fresh potato fries in water for 15 minutes to remove starch before frying. Then pat the fries
dry and mix with 1 tablespoon of oil to make them crispier.
To get a crispier surface, we recommend spraying/mixing the food with classic table oil.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
NEVER
immerse the cable, plug or appliance in water or any other liquid.
Clean the appliance after each use.
Before cleaning, unplug the appliance and let it cool down completely.
We recommend cleaning the appliance immediately after it cools down, before food residues dry
out.
Wipe the base of the appliance and the exterior with a damp cloth.
Removable parts that are intended for contact with food can be washed in a dishwasher, but we
still recommend hand washing for longer protection (durability) of the non-stick surface.
To maintain the non-stick layer as long as possible, do not use sharp or metal objects, abrasive
cleaning materials or rough sponges and wire brushes.
Wash these parts under warm running water with the addition of neutral kitchen detergent and a
soft sponge. Then rinse them with clean water, dry them properly and put them back in their place.
TROUBLESHOOTING
Problem
Solution
The appliance does not
work.
Check that the device is really connected to the mains.
Insert the outer container completely into the appliance.
The food is not fully
cooked.
Place smaller portions of food in the removable basket.
If the basket is too full, the food may be undercooked.
Increase the temperature or cooking time.
The food is not evenly
cooked.
Ingredients that are stacked on top of each other or close to each
other need to be shaken or turned during cooking.
The food is not crispy after
frying.
Spraying food with a small amount of oil can increase crispiness.
The fries were not cooked
well.
Add a small amount of oil, approx. 15 ml. When making raw potato
chips, soak uncooked chips in water for 15 minutes to remove starch
before frying. Dry them before adding a small amount of oil.
