Problem
Potential cause/solution
The appliance is not
working.
• Is the mains plug properly connected with the socket?
• Is the socket defective? Try another socket.
• Check the fuse for your mains connection.
• Have you set a cooking temperature?
• Did you set a cooking time with the timer? The appliance only
turns on once the time has been set!
• Has the tray been correctly inserted? The appliance only works
when the tray has been correctly inserted.
• The appliance has overheated. Turn the appliance off by setting
the timer and the temperature control to the OFF position and
pull the mains plug out of the socket. Let the appliance cool
off COMPLETELY afterwards. Push the RESET button on the
bottom of the appliance (see chapter “Appliance overview”),
before you use the appliance again.

The tray with the basket
insert cannot be inserted
in the appliance.
• Was the basket insert over
fi
lled? Only
fi
ll the basket insert with
food up to the MAX mark.
Food is not cooked even-
ly or to completion.
• The food was not cut into uniform pieces. Make sure that
fi
nely
sliced food is roughly the same size.
• The basket insert is over
fi
lled. Reduce the quantity of food.
• With some foods (e.g. French fries, potato wedges or similar),
it is recommended that you mix them from time to time to en-
sure they are evenly cooked. Take the tray out of the appliance.
Take the basket out of the tray and gently shake the food in
order to mix it. Then put the tray with the basket back in the
appliance and continue the cooking process.
• The selected temperature is too low, set it higher.
• The cooking time is too short, adjust the cooking time.
• When preparing French fries from fresh potatoes, parboil the
potatoes for approximately
fi
ve minutes before preparing them
in the appliance for more consistent results.
