Air Frying:
1. Connect the mains plug into an earthed wall socket.
2. Carefully pull the pan out of the air fryer.
3. Put the ingredients in the basket.
Tip: If you have a separator (NOT SUPPLIED) to separate items, you will be able to
prepare different ingredients at the same time. Place the separator in the basket and ll up
each side of the basket with the ingredients. Make sure you check the preparation time and the temperature required for the different ingredients before you start to prepare them. Potato cubes and schnitzel, for example, can be prepared simultaneously because they require the same settings. Please note that the maximum amount for each of the ingredients is half the normal amount.
10
Page 11
4. Slide the pan back into the air fryer, making sure to carefully align with the guides in the body of the fryer.
5. Never use the pan without the basket in it.
CAUTION: Do not touch the pan immediately after use, as it gets very hot. Allow plenty of
time to for it too cool. Only hold the pan by the handle.
6. Determine the required preparation time for each ingredient (refer to the ‘Settings’ section below for instructions on how to do this.)
7. Adjust the temperature control dial to the required setting. Refer to the ‘Settings’ and ‘Control Panel’ sections in this manual for instructions on how to determine the right temperature. Add 3 minutes to the preparation time when the appliance is cold.
8. Excess oil from the ingredients is collected on the bottom of the pan.
Settings:
The table on the next page will help you select the basic settings for each ingredient.
Note: Keep in mind that these settings are indications, as ingredients differ in origin, size,
shape and brand, we cannot guarantee the best settings for your ingredients. Because the rapid air technology instantly reheats the air inside the appliance, pulling the pan briey out of the appliance during hot air frying barely disturbs the process.
Tips:
The preparation time will depend on the size of your ingredients. Smaller sizes may require a shorter cooking time.
Shaking ingredients halfway during the cooking time will improve 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.
Be cautious of using extremely greasy ingredients such as sausages in the air fryer.
Snacks that can be prepared in an oven can also be prepared in the hot-air fryer
The recommended amount for preparing crispy fries is 500g

For a great, even brown crisp, toss your fries multiple times during cooking.

6 - Troubleshooting
Problem Possible cause Solution
The Air Fryer does not work
The ingredients are not cooked properly.
The ingredients are fried unevenly in the air fryer.
Fried snacks are not crispy when they come out of the air fryer.
I cannot slide the pan into the appliance properly.
White smoke comes out of the appliance.
Fresh fries are fried unevenly in the air fryer.
Fresh fries are not crispy when they come out of the air fryer.
The appliance is not plugged in.
You have not set the timer.
The basket is too full.
The set temperature is too low.
Not enough preparation time.
Certain types of ingredients need to be shaken halfway through the preparation time.
You may have used a type of snacks meant to be prepared in a traditional deep fryer.
There are too many ingredients in the basket.
The basket is not placed in the pan correctly.
You are preparing greasy ingredients.
The pan still contains grease residues from previous use.
Old potatoes may have been used in the air fryer.
The potato sticks were not rinsed thoroughly before they were fried.
The crispiness of the fries depends on the amount of oil and water in the fries.
Put the mains plug into an earthed wall socket.
Set the timer display to the required preparation time.
Put smaller batches of ingredients in the basket. Smaller batches are fried more evenly.
Set the temperature control to the required temperature setting (refer to the ‘Settings’ section under ‘Using the Appliance’ for instructions on how to do this.)
Set the timer display to the required temperature setting (refer to the ‘Settings’ section under ‘Using the Appliance’ for instructions on how to do this.)
Ingredients that lie on top of or across each other (e.g. fries) need to be shaken halfway through the preparation time. Refer to the ‘Settings’ section under ‘Using the Appliance’ for further details..
Use oven snacks or lightly brush some oil onto the snacks for a crispier result.
Do not ll the basket beyond the ‘MAX’ indicator line.
Push the basket into the pan until you hear a click.
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.
White smoke is caused by grease heating up in the pan. Make sure you clean the pan properly after each use.
Use fresh potatoes to make sure they stay rm during
frying.
Rinse the potato sticks properly to remove starch from the outside.
Make sure you dry the potato sticks properly before you add the oil.
Cut the potato sticks into smaller pieces for a crispier result.
Add slightly more oil for a crispier result.
