SWITCHING ON/OFF
Switch the appliance on and off using the on/off key [1].
The appliance will only function when the basket is in the appliance correctly.
When OFF is shown on the display, the timer counts down 20 seconds once more. During that time, the fan continues to run to
cool the appliance. After that, a sound signal can be heard.
Hold down the on/off key for 2 seconds in order to switch the appliance fully off. The leds go out, the fan stops.
PRIOR TO FIRST USE
Check the voltage. The appliance will only work safely on alternate current with a voltage that is indicated on the information
plate of the appliance. Only insert the plug of the appliance into a earthed socket The heating element has been provided with
a protective layer. Switch on the appliance and allow it to operate at maximum level without food for 10 minutes. In this way,
the protective layer around the heating element is burned off perfectly. A little bit of smoke may be created during this action.
Therefore ensure sufficient ventilation. When the protective layer has disappeared, switch off the appliance.
Remove the plug from the socket and clean the insert grille and basket before you actually start using the appliance. Wash the
insert grille and basket with soapy water or in the dishwasher. The inside and outside of the appliance itself can be wiped with
a soft, damp cloth.
The appliance works with hot air. This means that you should never use oil, other liquids or frying fat for preparing food.
• Place the appliance on a sturdy, flat and heat-resistant surface.
• Bend the feet of the insert grille slightly outwards so that it fits tightly in the basket and cannot fall out.
• Place the insert grille in the basket.
• Place the basket in the appliance.
CAUTION! If the basket is not placed correctly, the appliance will not function.
Do not fill the basket with oil or other liquids. Do not place anything on top of the appliance.
Do not cover air inlet or outlet openings. Covered air openings will disrupt the air circulation and will have a negative effect on
the frying result.
SETTING TEMPERATURE AND TIME
Press [+] and [–] on the left side of the control panel to set a higher or lower temperature. The temperature changes in steps
of 5 °C. If you hold down the key, the temperature changes quickly.
Press [+] and [–] on the right side of the control panel to set a longer or shorter time. The time changes in steps of 1 minute.
If you hold down the key, the time setting changes quickly.
HOT AIR FRYING
Check that the mains voltage corresponds with the voltage stated on the information plate. Insert the plug in an earthed socket.
Press the on/off key. The display lights up.
Carefully remove the basket with insert grille from the appliance.
Fill the basket with the food that you want to prepare. Pay attention to the maximum amount (also see the section with TIPS
below). Never use the appliance without the insert grille. The insert grille is necessary for sufficient air circulation.
Slide the basket back in the appliance correctly.
Set the required temperature and time and press the on/off key.
Tip - For the best result, you must shake some products halfway through the cooking time. For such products, you must first set
the first half of the required time. When you hear the timer signal, remove the basket from the appliance, shake the product,
place back the basket and set the timer again.
Tip - When switching on the appliance, you can hold down the on/off key for 2 seconds. The appliance will automatically set the
temperature to 200 °C and the timer to 15 minutes. You can also select one of the automatic menus. Press the menu selection
key [2] to go through the menus and make your choice. The appliance automatically sets the ideal temperature and time.
See the “Time and temperature settings of the automatic menus” table below.
When the cooking time has passed, a sound signal can be heard. Remove the basket from the appliance and check if the
products are ready. If they are not ready, place back the basket and set a few extra minutes on the timer.
Tip
- During the frying process, fat and moisture will drip on the bottom of the basket. This could end up on the food that has
just been cooked, when you turn over the basket in order to remove the food. Therefore carefully shake the ingredients out of
the basket and use tongs to remove larger ingredients.
