This is an oil-free fryer that works on hot air, Do not fill the pan with oil or frying fat.

Setting unit up
1. Place the appliance on a stable, horizontal and even surface.
Do not place the appliance on non-heat-resistant surface.
2. Place the basket in the pan.
3. Pull the cord from the storage compartment which is located on the bottom of the
appliance.
Do not fill the pan with oil or any other liquid.
Do not put anything on top of the appliance, the airflow will be disrupted and affects
the hot air frying result.
USING THE APPLIANCE
The oil-free frying method can prepare a large range of ingredients.
The recipes below should help you get to know the appliance.
Hot 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.
Note: Do not exceed the MAX indicator(see section "settings" in this chapter), as it
may effect the uality of the cooked food.
Tip: Use the separator to separate ingredients when you want to prepare different ingredients at the same time.
Place the separator in the basket and fill 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
simultaneously. Potato cubes and schnitzel, for e ample, can be prepared simultaneously because they require the
same settings. Please note that the ma imum amount for each of the ingredients is half the normal amount.
4. Slide the pan back into the air fryer, noting to carefully align with guides in the
body of the fryer.
WARNING: Never use the pan without the basket in it.
Caution: Do not touch the pan during and some time after use, as it gets very hot.
Only hold the pan by the handle.
5. Turn the temperature control knob to the re uired temperature. See section
‘Settings’ in this chapter to determine the right temperature.
6. Determine the re uired preparation time for the ingredients ( see section ‘Settings’
in this chapter).
7. To switch on the appliance, turn the timer knob to the re uired preparation time.
Add 3 minutes to the preparation time when the appliance is cold.

Note: If you want, you can also let the appliance preheat without any ingredients
inside. In that case, turn the timer knob to more than 3 minutes and wait until the
heating-up light goes out ( after approx. 3 minutes). Then fill the basket and turn
the timer knob to the re uired preparation time.
•The power-on light and the heating-up light go on.
•The timer starts counting down the set preparation time.
•During the hot air frying process, the heating-up light comes on and goes out from time to
time. This indicates that the heating element is switched on and off to maintain the set
temperature.
•Excess oil from the ingredients is collected on the bottom of the pan.
8. Some ingredients re uire shaking halfway through the preparation time (see
section ’Settings’ in this chapter). To shake the ingredients, pull the pan out of the
appliance by the handle and shake it. Then slide the pan back into the air fryer.
Caution: Do not press the button the handle during shaking.
Tip: To reduce the weight, you can remove the basket from the pan and shake the basket only. To do so, pull the
pan out of the appliance, place it on a heat-resistant surface and press the button of handle.
Tip: If you set the timer to half the preparation time, you hear the timer bell 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.
9. When you hear the timer bell, the set preparation time has elapsed. Pull the pan out
of the appliance and place it on a heat-resistant surface.
Note: You can also switch off the appliance manually. To do this, turn the time
control knob to 0.
10. Check if the ingredients are ready.
If the ingredients are not ready yet, simply slide the pan back into the appliance
and set the timer to a few extra minutes.
11. To remove ingredients (e.g fries), pull the pan out of the air fryer and place it on a
heat-resistant surface and press the basket release button, then lift the basket out
of the pan.
Do not turn the basket upside down with the pan still attached to it, as any
excess oil that has collected on the bottom of the pan will leak onto the
ingredients.
After air frying, the pan and the ingredients will be hot. Depending on the type
of the ingredients in the air fryer, steam may also escape from the pan.
12. Empty the basket into a bowl or onto a plate.
Tip: To remove large or fragile ingredients, lift the ingredients out of the basket using a pair of tongs
13. When a batch of ingredients is ready and removed from the pan, the air fryer is
instantly ready for preparing another batch.

Settings
This table below will help you to select the basic settings for the ingredients.
Note: Keep in mind that these settings are indications. As ingredients differ in origin, size,
shape as well as brand, we cannot guarantee the best setting for your ingredients.
Because the Rapid Air technology instantly reheats the air inside the appliance instantly,
pulling the pan briefly out of the appliance during hot air frying barely disturbs the
process.
Tips
•Smaller ingredients usually require a slightly shorter preparation time than larger
ingredients.
•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 optimises 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 minutes of adding the oil.
•Do not prepare e tremely greasy ingredients such as sausages in the air fryer .
•Snacks that can be prepared in a 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.
•Place a baking tin or oven dish in the air fryer basket if you want to bake a cake or
quiche or if you want to fry fragile ingredients or filled ingredients
•You can also use the air fryer to reheat ingredients. To reheat ingredients, set the
temperature to 150℃ for up to 10 minutes.

2. Wash the potato sticks thoroughly and dry them with kitchen paper.
3. Pour 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil in a bowl, put the sticks on top and mix until the
sticks are coated with oil.
4. Remove the sticks from the bowl with your fingers or a kitchen utensil so that
excess oil stays behind in the bowl. Put the sticks in the basket.
Note: Do not tilt the bowl to put all the sticks in the basket in one go, to prevent
excess oil from ending up on the bottom of the pan.
5. Fry the potato sticks according to the instructions given above in the table.

You have not set the
timer.
Turn the timer knob to the re uired
preparation time to switch on the appliance.
The ingredients
fried with the
airfryer 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
re uired temperature setting (see section
‘settings’ in chapter ‘Using the appliance’).
The preparation time

The ingredients
are fried unevenly
in the airfryer.
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
‘Settings’ in chapter ‘Using the appliance’.
Fried snacks are
not crispy when
they come out of
the airfryer.
You used a type of
snacks 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.
There are too much
ingredients in the
basket.
Do not fill the basket beyond the MAX
indication.
The basket is not
placed in the pan
correctly.
Push the basket down into the pan until you
hear a click.

White smoke
comes out of the
appliance.
You are preparing
greasy ingredients.
When you fry greasy ingredients in the
airfryer, 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 residues from
previous use.
White smoke is caused by grease heating up
in the pan. Ensure you clean the pan properly
after each use.
Fresh fries are
fried unevenly in
the airfryer.
You did not use the
right potato type.
Use fresh potatoes and make sure they stay
firm during frying.
You did not rinse the
potato sticks
properly before you
fried them.
Rinse the potato sticks properly to remove
starch from the outside of the sticks.
Fresh fries are not
crispy when they
come out of the
airfryer.
The crispiness of the
fries depends on the
amount of oil and
water in the fries.
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.
