FRYING TIPS
AIR FRYING TIPS
• Smaller ingredients usually require a slightly shorter preparation time
than larger ingredients.
• Shaking smaller ingredients halfway through the preparation time
optimizes the end result and can help prevent unevenly fried ingredients.
• Add some oil to fresh potatoes for a crispy result. Fry your ingredients in
the air fryer within a few minutes after you add the oil.
• Do not prepare extremely greasy ingredients such as sausages in the air
fryer.
• Snacks that can be prepared in a oven can also be prepared in the air fryer.
• The optimal amount for preparing crispy fries is 500 grams.
• Use pre-made dough to prepare filled snacks quickly and easily. Pre-made
dough also requires a shorter preparation time than home-made dough.
• Place a baking tin or oven dish in the air fryer basket if you want to bake a
cake or quiche or if you want to fry fragile ingredients or filled ingredients.
• You can also use the air fryer to reheat ingredients. To reheat ingredients,
set the temperature to 300ºF up to 10 minutes.
Note: Because the rapid hot air technology instantly reheats the air inside the
appliance, pulling the pan out of the appliance during use, for a short amount
of time, will not effect the process.
Put the main plug in an earthed wall socket.
Turn the timer control knob to the required
preparation time to turn on the appliance.
Slide the pan into the appliance properly.
Put smaller batches of ingredients in the basket.
Smaller batches are fried more evenly.
Turn the temperature control knob to the required
temperature setting.
(see ‘Settings Chart’ on page 12).
Turn the timer control knob to the required
preparation time.
(see ‘Settings Chart’ on page 12).
Ingredients that lie on top of or across each other
(e.g.fries) need to be shaken halfway through the
preparation time.
(see ‘Settings Chart’ on page 12).
Use oven snacks or lightly brush some oil onto the
snacks for a crispier result.
Do not fill the basket beyond max line
(see ‘Settings Chart’ on page 12).
Push the basket down into the pan until you hear
a click.
When you fry greasy ingredients in the air fryer, a
large amount of oil will leak into the pan. The oil
produces white smoke and the pan may heat up
more than usual. This does not affect the appliance
or the end result.
White smoke is caused by grease heating up in the
pan- make sure you clean the pan properly after
each use.
Use fresh potatoes and make sure they stay firm
during frying.
Rinse the potato sticks properly to remove starch
from the outside of the sticks.
Make sure you dry the potato sticks properly
before you add the oil.
Cut the potato sticks smaller for a crispier result.
Add slightly more oil for a crispier result.
The air fryer does not work.
The ingredients fried in
the air fryer are not done.
The ingredients are fried
unevenly in the air fryer.
Fried snacks are not crispy
when they come out of the
air fryer.
I cannot slide the pan into
the appliance properly.
White smoke comes out
of the appliance.
Fresh fries are fried unevenly
in the air fryer.
Fresh fries are not crispy when
they come out of the air fryer.
The appliance is not plugged in.
You have not set the timer.
The pan is not put into the appliance
properly.
The amount of ingredients in the
basket are too much.
The set temperature is too low.
The preparation time is too short.
Certain types of ingredients need
to be shaken halfway through the
preparation time.
You used a type of snack meant to be
prepared in a traditional deep fryer.
There are too much ingredients in the
basket.
The basket is not placed in the pan
correctly.
You are preparing greasy ingredients.
The pan still contains grease residues
from previous use.
You did not use the right potato type.
You did not rinse the potato sticks
properly before you fried them.
The crispiness of the fries depends on
the amount of oil and water in the
fries.
