• Normally bigger food pieces require longer time than smaller ones and vice versa.
• Shaking smaller ingredients halfway through the process optimizes the end result and can help
prevent unevenly fried ingredients.
• It is recommended to apply some oil to fresh potatoes for a crispy result. Only fry the ingredients
within a few minutes after applying 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.
• A baking tin or oven dish can be used in the frying basket when to bake a cake, quiche, or fragile
ingredients and filled ingredients.
• When to reheat with this unit, you can set the temperature to 150°C and time to 10 minutes.

Cleaning, Care & Maintenance
Always switch off the appliance, disconnect the power supply and allow to cool
before cleaning or performing maintenance.
Always keep the appliance clean!
• Clean the appliance after every use.
• Wipe the exterior/interior surfaces with a moist cloth. Then wipe dry with a dry cloth.
• Clean the heating element with a soft brush to remove any food residues.
Cleaning the collection tray and basket
• For a thorough cleaning, separate the basket from the collection tray first.
• Clean both parts with warm soapy water and a non-abrasive sponge. Do not use abrasive powder or
metal brush, as this may damage the non-stick coating.
• Tip: Both parts are dishwasher-safe.
• If dirt gets stuck to the basket or the bottom of the tray, fill the tray with hot water and some
detergent. Then put the basket in the tray and soak for approximately 10 minutes.
• Rinse and dry well.
