Note: Never use the pan without the basket in it. If the pan is not ﬁxed into the air fryer properly, the appliance won’t work.

Caution: Do not touch the pan during and for some time after

use, as it gets very hot. Only hold the pan by the handle.

• For AF300,to switch ON the unit, turn the timer knob and to set the desired cooking temperature, use temperature control knob.

• For AF400,Touch the MODE button to the required temperature. See the section’ Settings’ to determine the

right temperature.

ENGLISH

(Original instructions)

• Determine the required preparation time for the ingredient see section ‘Settings.’ Adjust the timer setting by using TIMER+ or TIMER- button.

• To switch on the appliance, touch the ON button, to switch off the appliance, touch the OFF button or touch the TIMER- to adjust the time to 00.

• The LED light will light up.

• The timer will begin to start counting down the set

preparation time.

• During the cooking process, the heating-up mode will

light on and off from time to time. This indicates that the

heating element is switching on and off to maintain the

selected temperature.

• Excess oil from the ingredients will be collected on the

bottom of the pan (3).

• Some ingredients require shaking halfway through the preparation time see section ’Settings’. To shake the ingredients, pull the pan out of the appliance by the handle and shake it. Then slide the pan back into the air fryer and continue to cook.

Caution: Do not press the basket release button on the handle during shaking.

Tip: To reduce the weight, you can remove the basket (1) from the pan (3) and shake the basket only. To do so, pull the pan out of the appliance, place it on a heat-resistant surface and press the basket release button on the handle.

Tip: If you set the timer to half the preparation time, you will hear the timer bell when it is time to shake the ingredients. However, this means that you have to set the timer again to the remaining preparation time after shaking.

Tip: If you set the timer to full preparation time, there will be no timer bell during cooking. Before ﬁnishing, you can pull out the pan at any time to check the ingredients cooking condition, the power will shut down automatically and resume after you slide the pan back into the appliance(timer

still on).

• When you hear the timer bell, the set preparation time

has elapsed. Pull the pan out of the appliance and place

it on a heat-resistant surface.

Note: You can also switch off the appliance manually. To do this, touch the OFF button (for AF400), or touch the TIMERbutton to 0, or pull out the pan directly.

• Check if the ingredients are ready. If the ingredients are not ready yet, simply slide the pan back into the appliance and set the timer to a few extra minutes.

• To remove small ingredients (e.g. fries), press the basket release button and lift the basket out of the pan.

Warning! Do not turn the basket upside down with the pan still attached to it, as any excess oil that has collected on the bottom of the pan will leak onto the ingredients.

Warning! After hot air frying, the pan and the ingredients are hot. Depending on the type of the ingredients in the air fryer,

steam may escape from the pan.

• Empty the basket into a bowl or onto a plate.

Tip: To remove large or fragile ingredients, use a pair of tongs to lift the ingredients out of the basket.

• When a batch of ingredients is ready, the air fryer is

instantly ready for preparing another batch.

Settings

The table below helps you to select the basic settings for the ingredients you want to prepare.

Note: Keep in mind that these settings are indications. As

ingredients differ in origin, size, shape as well as brand, we

cannot guarantee the best setting for your ingredients. Note: Because the rapid hot air technology instantly reheats

the air inside the appliance, pulling the pan brieﬂy out of the

appliance during hot air frying barely disturbs the process.

Tips

• A larger amount of ingredients only requires a slightly longer preparation time, a smaller amount of ingredients only requires a slightly shorter preparation time.

• 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 of

adding the oil for best results.

• 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 150°C for up to 10 minutes.

Making home-made fries

To make home-made fries, follow the steps below:

• Peel the potatoes and cut them into sticks.

• Wash the potato sticks thoroughly and dry them with kitchen paper.

• Pour 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil in a bowl, put the sticks on top and mix until the sticks are coated with oil.

• Remove the sticks from the bowl with your ﬁngers or a kitchen utensil so that excess oil stays behind in the bowl. Put the sticks in the basket.

Note: Do not tilt the bowl to put all the sticks in the basket in one go, to prevent excess oil from ending up on the bottom

of the pan.

• Fry the potato sticks according to the instructions in this

chapter.
