shape as well as brand, we cannot guarantee the best setting for your ingredients.
Note: Add 3 minutes to the preparation time before you start frying if the appliance is cold.
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 optimized the end result and can help prevent unevenly fried ingredients.
- You can coat fresh potatoes with a little oil for a crispy result. Fry your ingredients in the air fryer within a few minutes after you have added the oil.
- Do not prepare extremely greasy 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 pre-made dough to prepare filled snacks quickly and easily. Pre-made dough also requires a shorter preparation time than home-made dough.
- You can also use the air fryer to reheat ingredients by setting the temperature to 150°C and the timer to about 10 minutes.

MAKING HOMEMADE FRIES:
For the best results, we advise to use pre-baked fries. If you want to make home-made fries, follow the steps below:
1. Peel the potatoes and cut them into sticks.
2. Soak the potato sticks in a bowl of water for at least 30 minutes, take them out and
dry them with kitchen paper.
3. Pour 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil in a bowl, put the sticks on top and mix until the sticks
are coated with oil.
4. 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 collecting at the bottom of the frying tray.
5. Fry the potato sticks according to the instructions in the settings page.
CLEANING:
Clean the appliance after every use. The frying tray, basket and the inside of the appliance have a non-stick coating. Do not use metal kitchen utensils or abrasive cleaning materials to clean them, as this may damage the non-stick coating.
1. Remove the mains plug from the wall socket and let the appliance cool down.
Note: Remove the frying tray to let the air fryer cool down more quickly.
2. Wipe the outside of the appliance with a moist cloth.
3. Clean the frying tray and basket with hot water, some washing liquid soap and a non-abrasive
sponge. You can use a degreasing liquid to remove any remaining dirt.
Note: The frying tray and basket are dishwasher-proof. Tip: If dirt is stuck to the basket, or at the bottom of the frying tray, fill the frying tray with hot water
and with some washing liquid soap. Put the basket in the frying tray and let the frying tray and the basket soak for approximately 10 minutes.
1. Clean the inside of the appliance with hot water and a non-abrasive sponge.
2. Clean the heating element with a cleaning brush to remove any food residues.
STORING:
Allow the air fryer to cool completely before storing. Store the air fryer in a dry location. Do not place any heavy items on top of air fryer during storage as this may result in possible damage of air fryer.
