IDENTIFYING YOUR AIR FRYER

USING YOUR AIR FRYER

• Remove all packaging material. Remove any stickers or labels from the appliance.

• Thoroughly clean the pan and pan with hot water, some washing liquid and a non­abrasive sponge. You can also clean these parts in the dishwasher.

• Wipe the inside and outside of the appliance with a moist cloth.

• Place the appliance on a stable, horizontal and level surface. Do not place the
appliance on non-heat-resistant surfaces.

• This is an air fryer that works on hot air. Do not fill the pan with oil or frying fat.

• Do not put anything on top of the appliance.

• Do not put anything on the air-inlet on the two sides of the appliance, this disrupts
the airflow and affects the hot air frying result.

HOT AIR FRYING

“settings” table hereinafter.

• Carefully pull the pan out of the air fryer.

• Put the ingredients in the pan.

Note: Never fill the pan in full or exceed the recommended amount (see section
‘Settings’ in this chapter), as this could affect the quality of the end result.

• Slide the pan back into the air fryer properly.

• If the pan is not fixed into the air fryer properly, the appliance won’t work!

Caution: Do not touch the pan during frying, as it gets very hot. Hold the pan only

by the handle.

• Rotate the Temperature Control KNOB button to set the required temperature.
See section ’Settings’ to determine the right temperature.

• Determine the required preparation time for the ingredient (see section ‘Settings’
and set the desired time with the Timer (Max 30 minutes).

Add 3 minutes to the preparation time when the appliance is cold.
Note: If you want, you can also let the appliance preheat without any ingredients

inside. In that case, switch ‘ON’ the unit and set timer to more than 3 minutes and
wait until the heating-up light goes out (after approx. 3 minutes). Then fill the pan
and the timer to the required preparation time.

- The Heating light goes ON.

- The timer starts counting down the set preparation time.

- During the hot air frying process, the heating goes ON and OFF from time

to time. This indicates that the heating element is switched ON and OFF to
maintain the temperature.

- Excess oil from the ingredients is collected at the bottom of the pan.

• 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.

Tip: If you set the timer to half the preparation time, you hear the timer bell when you
have 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 is no timer bell during cooking
before finishing, you can pull out the pan at any time to check the ingredients, 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, press the OFF

button, or press the TIMER- button 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 pan release button and lift the
pan out of the pan.

Do not turn the pan 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.

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 pan 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 pan

• When a batch of ingredients is ready, the air fryer is instantly ready for preparing
another batch.

SETTINGS

This 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 and shape, gradual experience will help you master the process.

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

• Smaller ingredients usually require a slightly shorter preparation time than larger
ingredients.

• 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 after you added 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 pan 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 1500C 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 pan.

Note: Do not tilt the bowl to put all the sticks in the pan 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.

CLEANING

• Remove the mains plug from the wall socket and let the appliance cool down.

Note: Remove the pan to let the air fryer cool down more quickly.

• Wipe the outside of the appliance with a moist cloth.

• Clean the pan and the baking tray with hot water, some washing-up liquid and
a non-abrasive sponge. (do not use metal kitchen utensils or abrasive cleaning
materials to clean them, as this may damage the non-stick coating)

You can use a degreasing liquid to remove any remaining dirt.
Note: The pan and baking tray are dishwasher-proof.
Tip: If dirt is stuck to the pan or the bottom of the pan, fill the pan with hot water

with some washing-up liquid. Soak for approximately 10 minutes.

• Clean the inside of the appliance with hot water and non-abrasive sponge.

• Clean the heating element with a cleaning brush to remove any food residues.
