order to determine cooking temperature).
In case the appliance is cold, add 3 minutes to the cooking or pre-heat it with no ingredients
inside.
Pre-heating the appliance: Turn the time knob to more than 3 minutes and wait until the
heating-up light turns off (after approximately 3 minutes). Then, fill the basket and turn the
time knob to the desired cooking time. The timer will show the count down.
During hot-air frying process, the heating-up light turns on and off. This indicated that the
heating elements are switched on and off in order to maintain the pre-set temperature.
Some ingredients require shaking halfway through the hot-air frying process. To shake them,
pull the fat-drip tray out of the appliance holding it from the handle and shake it. Then, slide
the fat-drip tray back into the air fryer.

Once ingredients have been removed, the air-fryer is immediately ready for next operation.
5. COOKING TIPS
Smaller ingredients usually require shorter cooking times than larger ones.
Shaking smaller ingredients halfway through the process optimizes the end result and
prevents ingredients from being fried unevenly.
Add some extra oil to fresh potatoes for a crispy result.
Do not prepare extremely greasy ingredients in the hot-air fryer (e.g. sausages).
Snack that can be prepared in an oven can also be prepared in the hot-air fryer.
Use pre-cooked dough to prepare snacks quickly and easily. Home-made dough requires a
longer preparation time.
Place a baking tin or and oven dish inside the appliance in order to bake cakes, quiches or fry
fragile or filled ingredients.
Reheat pre-cooked ingredients by setting temperature at 150 ºC for up to 10 minutes.
