CAUTION:
The outer frying basket will be hot; wear oven gloves during this process. Never remove the sliding button guard during shaking as
it is possible that the basket release button may be pressed accidentally.
Tip:
Set the timer to half of the cooking time. It will then ring when it is time to shake the foods in the frying basket.
Audio signal at the end of the cooking time
When you hear the timer’s audio signal, the pre-set cooking time has expired. Now remove the outer frying basket from the appliance and
place it on a heat-resistant surface. In order to remove the foods, place the outer frying basket on a heat-resistant surface. Now, move the
sliding button guard forwards. Press the basket release button (2) and lift the frying basket from the outer basket. Turn the frying basket over
and slowly empty the foods onto a plate. Use kitchen utensils (spatula etc) to remove larger foods, together with a smooth surface. Never turn
the outer frying basket upside down, while the frying basket is still engaged. Excess oil that has accumulated on the bottom of the outer frying
basket will leak onto your foods. With the Power AirFryer XL/XXL/XXXL you can easily prepare several basket fillings of tasty dishes, one after
the other.
Settings
• Table 3 will help you to select the correct standard settings for the foods stated.
• When you are more familiar with the appliance, you can adapt the settings to your own preferences.
• Due to the rapid hot-air technology, the air inside the appliance heats up very quickly. Never pull the outer frying basket quickly from the
appliance, as it will seriously disrupt the cooking process.
User Tips
• Smaller foods usually require a shorter cooking time than those that are larger.
• Larger food portions require a longer cooking time than smaller amounts.
• The shaking of smaller food portions, following the halfway point of the cooking time, guarantees a consistent frying of the foods.
• For the cooking of fresh potatoes, the adding of some vegetable oil is recommended to achieve a crispy result. Add it immediately before the
start of cooking.
• All snacks that can be cooked in an oven, can also be made with the Power AirFryer XL/XXL/XXXL.
• Use ready-made dough from the supermarket to prepare filled snacks quickly and easily. Ready-made dough requires less cooking time
than homemade dough.
• When making a cake or a quiche, place a baking tray or an oven plate in the frying basket. Both are recommended when preparing soft or
filled foods.
• You can, of course, also reheat dishes with the Power AirFryer XL/XXL/XXXL. Set it to 140 °C for 10 minutes.
