Put the main plug into a grounded wall socket.
Tap the timer controls to set the required
preparation time to turn on the appliance.
Place the accessory into the appliance properly.
Put smaller batches of ingredients in the basket.
Smaller batches are fried more evenly.
Tap the temperature controls to set the
required temperature setting (see
‘Settings Chart’ on page 14).
Tap the timer controls to set the required
preparation time (see ‘Settings Chart’ on page
14).
Ingredients that lie on top of or across each other
(e.g.fries) need to be shaken halfway throug the
preparation time (see ‘Settings Chart’ on page 14).
Use oven snacks or lightly brush some oil onto the
snacks for a crispier result.
When you fry greasy ingredients in the air fryer, a
large amount of oil will leak into the oven. The oil
produces white smoke and the oven may heat up
more than usual. This does not aect the appliance
or the end result.
White smoke is caused by grease heating up in the
oven. Make sure you clean the oven properly after
each use.
Use fresh potatoes and make sure they stay rm
during frying.
Rinse the potato sticks properly to remove starch
from the outside of the sticks.
Make sure you dry the potato sticks properly
before you add the oil. Cut the potato sticks smaller
for a crispier result. Add slightly more oil for a
crispier result.
The air fryer oven does not
work.
The ingredients fried in
the air fryer oven are not done.
The ingredients are fried
unevenly in the air fryer oven.
Fried snacks are not crispy
when they come out of the air
fryer oven.
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 accessory is not put into the
appliance properly.
The amount of ingredients in the
basket is too much.
The set temperature is too low.
The preparation time is too short.
Certain types of ingredients need
to be shaken halfway through the
preparation time.
You used a type of snack meant to be
prepared in a traditional deep fryer.
You are preparing greasy ingredients.
The oven still contains grease residues
from previous use.
Quality potatoes will give an even
cook.
Potatoes are too starchy.
The crispiness of the fries depends on
the amount of oil and water in the
fries.

AIR FRYING TIPS
AIR FRYING TIPS
•Smaller ingredients usually require a slightly shorter preparation time than
larger ingredients.
•Shaking smaller ingredients halfway through the preparation time
optimizes the end result and can help prevent unevenly fried ingredients.
•Add 1 Tablespoon of oil to fresh potatoes for a crispy result. Fry your
ingredients in the air fryer within a few minutes after you add 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.
•Use pre-made dough to prepare filled snacks quickly and easily. Pre-made
dough also requires a shorter preparation time than homemade dough.
•Place a baking tin or oven dish on a crisper tray if you want to bake a cake or
quiche, or if you want to fry fragile or filled ingredients.
•For even browning: Rotate top and bottom trays halfway through cooking
when using two or more trays.
•For easy clean up: Spray trays and tumbler with nonstick cooking spray.
Baking Tips:
•Bake items on the middle and bottom trays to prevent tops from burning.
•Rotate items halfway through to ensure an even bake.
•Smaller items, like cupcakes, perform better than items requiring a longer
cook time, like cakes. Larger items will require additional cook time. Larger
items with longer cook times run the risk of over-browning.
Note: Because the rapid hot air technology instantly reheats the air
inside the appliance, pulling the ingredients out of the appliance
during use for a short amount of time will not affect the process.
Tip: If you set the timer to half the preparation time, your timer will ring
when you have to shake the ingredients. However, this means that you
have to set the timer again to the remaining preparation time after shaking.
(See ‘Settings Chart’ on page 14.)
Tip: If you set the timer to full preparation time, there is no timer bell during
cooking. Before finishing, you can pull out the ingredients at any time to
check the cooking progress.
