temperature.
•
During cooking, excess oil and cooking juices from the ingredients will collect in the basket holder. This is to be expected.
•
Some recipes require shaking the food in the basket halfway
•
through the set time (see section ’Settings’ in this chapter). To shake the ingredients, pull the basket out of the appliance using the handle. Then gently, but firmly,
shake it. Slide the basket holder back into the Air Fryer and continue to cook.
Note:
Because the rapid hot air technology instantly reheats the air inside of the appliance, pulling the basket briefly out of the appliance during hot air frying will not disturb the
cooking process.
Tip:
Sometimes, it is easier to divide cooking times into 2 phases for recipes that require the basket to be shaken mid-cooking. If you set the timer to half the required cooking
time, you will hear the timer bell go off when you have to shake the ingredients.
Tip:
If you set the timer to the full cooking time, the timer bell will not go off until cooking is completed. You can pull the basket out at any time to check the cooking condition of
the ingredients. The power will shut down automatically and resume after you slide the basket holder back into the appliance. Note that the timer stops counting down
automatically in this situation.
•
When you hear the timer bell (5 beeps), the set preparation time has elapsed. Using oven mitts and the basket handle, pull the basket holder out of the appliance and
place it on a
heat-resistant
surface.
Note:
You can also switch the appliance off at any time. To do this, simply press the On/Off key. The On/Off icon turns red while the fan continues to function for 15 seconds,
cooling down the unit before shutting down.
•
Check to see if the ingredients are ready. If they are not ready, simply slide the basket back into the appliance and set the timer for a few extra minutes.
Caution! After hot air frying, the basket, the basket holder and the ingredients will be hot! Depending on the type of the ingredients in the Air Fryer, steam may escape out of
the unit. Be mindful of scalding and wear kitchen gloves for safety.
•
To detach the food basket from the basket holder, slide the protection cover until the button is fully visible and press on the basket release button.
