qualified electrician. Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature or modify the plug in any way.
If t he plug fits loosely into the AC outlet or if the AC outlet feels warm, do not use that outlet.

Using the appliance
The oil-free fryer can prepare a large range of ingredients. The recipe booklet can help you
get to know the appliance.
Hot-air frying
1. Plug in the mains plug.
2. Carefully pull the pan out of the air fryer. (Fig.6)
3. Put the ingredients in the basket. (Fig.5)
Note: Do not exceed the MAX indicator (see section "settings" in this chapter), as it may affect
the cooking quality of the food.
4. Slide the pan back into the air fryer. (Fig. 4)
Note: Never use the pan without the basket in it.
Do not t ouch the pan during and some time after use, as it gets very hot. On ly hold the
pan by the handle.
5. Determine the required preparation time for the ingredients (see section ‘Settings’ in this
chapter).
Note: Add 3 minutes to t he preparation time if the appliance is cold.
If you want, you can also let the appliance preheat without any ingredients inside. Then
fill the basket and press the timer to the required preparation time.
6. The timer starts counting down the set preparation time.
Note: Excess oil from the ingredients is collected on the bottom of th e pan.
7. Some ingredients require shaking halfway through the preparation time (see section
“Settings” in this chapter). To shake the in gredie nts, pull the pan out of the appliance by the
handle and shake it. Then slide the pan back into the fryer.
Tip: To reduce the weight, you can remove the basket from the pan 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
button on the handle and pull the basket out of the pan. (Fig.3)
Tip: If you se t the timer to half of the preparation time, you hear the timer clicks when yo u have
to shake the ingredients. However, this means that you have to set the timer again to the
remain
ing preparation time after shaking.

heat-resistant surface, and press the basket release button and lift th e basket out of the pan.
(Fig.3)
Do not turn the basket upside down before p ulling it out of the pan, as any excess oil that has
been collected on the bottom of the pan will leak onto the ingredients.

Settings
This table belo w will help you to select the basic sett ings for the ingredients.
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.
Because the rapid 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 large 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 frying and
can help pre vent 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 n ot prepare extremely gre asy ingredients such as sausages in the air fryer.
-
Snacks that can be prepared in an oven can also be prepared in the air fryer.
-
The optimal amount for preparing crispy fries is 500 grams.
-
Use premade dough to prepare filled snacks quickly and easily. Premade dough also
requires a shorter preparation time than homemade 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 f illed ing redien ts
-
You can also use the air fryer to reheat ingredients. To reheat ingredients, set the
temperature to 300℉for up t o 10 minutes.

Troubleshooting
Problem
Possible cause
Solution
The air fryer does
not work.
The appliance is not
plugged in.
Put the mains plug in polarized outlet.
You have not set the timer. Press the timer to the required preparation time
to switch on the appliance.
The ingredients
fried with th e air
fryer are no t done.
The amount of ingredients
in the basket is too much,
or the size is too big.
Put sm aller batches of ingredients in the basket.
Smaller batches are fried more evenly.
The set temperature is too
low.
Press t he temperature control button t o the
required temperature setting (see sect ion
‘settings’ in chapter ‘Using the a ppliance’).
The preparation time is too
short.
Press t he timer to the required preparation time
(see section ‘Settings’ in chapter ‘Using the
appliance’).
The ingredients
are fried unevenly
in the air fryer.
Certain types of
ingredients need to be
shaken halfway thro ugh
the preparation time.
Ingredients that lie on top of or across each
other (e.g. fries) need to be shaken halfway
through the preparation time. See section
‘Settings’ in chapter ‘Using the appliance’.
Fried sn acks are
not crispy when
they come out of
the air fryer.
The type of snacks used is
meant to be prepared in a
traditional deep fryer.
Use o ven snacks or lightly brush some oil onto
the snacks for a crispier result.
The basket is not placed in
the pan correctly.
Push the basket d own into the pan until you hear
a click.
White smoke
comes out of the
appliance.
You are preparing greasy
ingredients.
When you fry greasy ingredients in the air fryer,
a la rge amount of oil will leak into the p an. The
oil produces white smoke an d the pan may heat
up more than usual. This does not affect the
appliance or the cooking result.
The pan still contains
grease resid ues from
previous use.
White smoke is caused by grease heating up in
the pan. Make sure you clean the pan properly
after each use.
Fresh f ries are
fried unevenly in
the air fryer.
You did not use the right
type of potato.
Use fresh potatoes and make sure they stay firm
during frying.
You did not rinse the potato
sticks properly before you
fried them.
Rinse t he potato sticks in water properly to
remove starch from the outside of the sticks.
Fresh f ries are not
crispy when they
come out of the air
fryer.
The crispiness of the fries
depends on the amount of
oil and water in the fries.
Make sure you dry the potato sticks properly
before you add the oil.
Cut t he potato sticks smaller for a crispier result.
Add slightly more oil for a crispier result.
