6 Put the sticks in the fry basket.
7 Fry the potato sticks and shake the fry basket halfway through the air frying process. Shake 2-3
times if you prepare more than 400g of fries.
Note: Add 3 minutes to the preparation time if you start frying while the appliance is still cold.
Note: You can also use pre-baked frozen or chilled fries from the supermarket.
Note: Consult the food table for the right quantities and preparation times (see 'Food table').
Tips
- A smaller amount of food requires a slightly shorter preparation time, a larger amount of food
needs a slightly longer preparation time.
- It is recommended not to fill the fry basket of the air fryer beyond ¾ of its capacity. The maximum
amount of ingredients that can be prepared depends on the kind of food you want to prepare (see
'Food table').
- It is suggested to wait some minutes to cool down the machine when you need to start another
cooking after the 1
st
cooking. Keep heating not more than 1 hour.
- If you use oven-ready snacks, do not add oil because they are usually pre-fried and become
golden brown and crispy when prepared in the air fryer.
- If you use oven-ready snacks and they do not become crispy and stay pale, please check the
following:
- The amount of ingredients: Put smaller batches of ingredients in the fry basket. Cover the bottom
of the fry basket with just one layer. Smaller batches are fried more evenly.
- The preparation time: If you have not preheated the appliance before you put in the snacks, make
sure you add 3 minutes extra to the preparation time when you set the timer.
- Most snacks need the preparation time indicated for the oven to become fully cooked. Preparation
times for the deep-fat fryer are shorter and will not lead to well-cooked ingredients. Most snacks
need between 10 and 15 minutes to cook.
- If your croquettes or snacks burst when you prepare them in the air fryer, choose a shorter
preparation time.
Cleaning
Warning: Let the fry basket, the container and the inside of the appliance cool down completely
before you start cleaning. Do not use metal kitchen utensils or abrasive cleaning materials to
clean them.
Clean the appliance after every use. Remove oil and fat from the bottom of the container after every
use to prevent smoke.
1 Turn power-on knob to 0, remove the plug from the wall socket and let the appliance cool down for
10 minutes.
Tip: Remove the lid and the container to let the air fryer cool down more quickly.
2 Wipe the lid and the outside of the appliance with a moist cloth.
