Introduction

Congratulations on your purchase. Your new air fryer allows you to prepare your favourite ingredi­ents and snacks in a healthier way.

The air fryer uses hot air in combination with high-speed air circulation (Rapid Air) and a top grill
to prepare a variety of tasty dishes in a healthy, fast and easy way. Your ingredients are heated
from all sides at once and there is no need to add oil to most of the ingredients.

You can now make dishes like cakes and quiches and cook fragile food in a more convenient
way.

again.

Temp/Timer

The table below will assist you in selecting the basic Temp/Timer for the best results in
your food preparation.

Note: These are general guidelines only. As ingredients differ in size, shape, origin, and other
factors, nding the optimal Temp/Timer for your food may require some practice.

Because the Rapid-Air technology instantly reheats the air inside the appliance, pulling the pan

out briey will not signicantly affect the cooking 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 after you 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 quantity for preparing crispy fries is about 17 ounces (500 grams).

- Use pre-made dough to prepare lled 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. To reheat ingredients, set the temperature
to 300°F (150°C) and reheat food for up to 10 minutes.

Note: Add 3 minutes to the preparation time if you start frying while the air fryer is still cold.

Making home-made fries

For best results, we recommend using pre-baked (frozen) fries. For truly home-made fries,

follow the steps below.

1 Peel potatoes and cut them into your desired shape.

2 Soak them in a bowl of water for at least 30 minutes; remove and dry them.
3 Pour 1/2 Tablespoon of olive oil in a bowl and add fries. Mix until the fries are coated

with oil.

4 Remove fries from the bowl by hand or with a utensil so that excess oil stays in the

bowl. Add fries to the air fryer basket.

Note: Do not pour your fries from the mixing bowl into the basket at once so as to prevent excess
oil from pouring into the basket and ultimately the bottom of the pan.

5 Fry according to the instructions in this chapter.

Cleaning

Clean the appliance after every use.

The pan, 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.

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

2 Wipe the outside of the appliance with a moist cloth.
3 Clean the pan and basket with hot water, dish soap, and a non-abrasive sponge.

You can use a degreasing liquid to remove any remaining dirt.

Note: The pan and basket are dishwasher-safe.
Tip: If dirt is stuck to the basket or the bottom of the pan, ll the pan with hot water mixed
with dish soap. Put the basket in the pan and let the pan and basket soak for approximately
10 minutes.

4 Clean the inside of the appliance with hot water and a non-abrasive sponge.
5 Clean the heating element with a cleaning brush to remove any food residue.

Storage

1 Unplug the appliance and let it cool down.
2 Make sure all parts are clean and dry..
3 Push the cord into the cord storage compartment. Secure the cord by inserting it into the

appropriate slot.

Environment

- Do not throw away the appliance with the normal household waste at the end of its life, but
hand it in at an ofcial collection point for recycling. By doing this, you can help to preserve the
environment. (Fig. 14)

Problem Possible cause Solution

The air fryer
does not work.

The appliance is not
plugged in.

Put the power cord plug in grounded wall
socket.

You have not set the timer. Turn the timer knob to the required preparation

time to switch on the appliance.

The ingredients
fried with the
air fryer are not
done.

The amount of ingredients
in the basket is too big.

Put smaller batches of ingredients in the bas­ket. Smaller batches are fried more evenly.

The set temperature is
too low.

Turn the temperature control knob to the re­quired temperature setting (see section ‘Temp/
Timer’ in chapter ‘Using the appliance’).

The preparation time is too
short.

Turn the timer knob to the required prepara­tion time (see section ‘Temp/Timer’ in chapter
‘Using the appliance’).

The ingredi­ents are fried
unevenly in the
air fryer.

Certain types of ingredi­ents need to be shaken
halfway through 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
‘Temp/Timer’ in chapter ‘Using the appliance’).

Fried snacks
are not crispy
when they
come out of the
air fryer.

You used a type of snack
meant to be prepared in a
traditional deep fryer.

Use oven snacks or lightly brush some oil onto
the snacks for a crispier result.

I cannot slide
the pan into
the appliance
properly.

The basket is overlled. Do not ll the basket beyond the MAX indica-

tion.

The basket is not placed in
the pan correctly.

Push the basket down into the pan until your
hear a click.

The handle of the baking
tray is obstructing the pan.

Push the handle to a horizontal position, so it

does not stick out on top of the basket.

White smoke
comes out of
the appliance.

You are preparing greasy
ingredients.

When you fry greasy ingredients in the air fryer,
a large amount of oil will leak into the pan.
The oil produces white smoke and the pan may
heat up more than usual. This does not affect
the appliance or the end result.

The pan still contains
grease residue from previ­ous use.

White smoke is caused by grease heating up in
the pan. Make sure you clean the pan properly
after each use.

French fries are
fried unevenly
in the air fryer.

You did not soak the fries
properly before you fried
them.

Soak the fries in a bowl for at least 30 minutes,
taken them out and dry them with kitchen
paper.

You did not use the right
potato type.

Use fresh potatoes and make sure they stay

rm during frying.

French fries 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 fries properly before you
add the oil.

Cut the fries smaller for a crispier result.

Add slightly more oil for a crispier result.
