Intended Use
• This Air Fryer Oven works with hot air and is
not a conventional Cooker that is lled with
oil or deep-frying fat. It is suitable for frying,
baking, grilling, dehydrating, keeping warm
or defrosting food. It generally works like a
convection fan oven.
• The Air Fryer Oven is for personal domestic
use only and is not intended for commercial
applications.
• The Air Fryer Oven should only be used as
described in these instructions. Any other use is
deemed to be improper. Incorrect operation
and incorrect handling may cause faults with
the Air Fryer Oven and cause injury to the user.
• The following are excluded from the warranty:
all defects caused by improper handling,
damage or unauthorised attempts at repair.
The same applies to normal wear and tear.
Before Initial Use
• Check the items supplied for completeness
and possible transport damage. If you nd
any damage, do not use the Air Fryer Oven(!),
but rather contact the customer service
department.
• Remove any possible lms, stickers or transport
protection from the Air Fryer Oven. Never
remove the rating plate and any possible
warnings!
• The Air Fryer Oven should be used for the rst
time without any food in it as it may produce
some smoke or odours due to coating
residues. Allow the Air Fryer Oven to heat up
on the highest temperature setting for approx.
15 minutes without any food in it.
• Thoroughly rinse all accessories. Follow the
instructions in the “Care and Cleaning” to do
this.

Rotisserie Removal Tool
The rotisserie fork is taken out of the cooking
space using the removal tool.
• Place the ends of the rotisserie removal tool
under the shaft.
• First lift up the left-hand side of the shaft and
move it forwards a little until the right end of
the shaft is released from the holder.
• Carefully lift the rotisserie fork out of the
cooking space and place down on a heat-
resistant surface.
Right
Left
Left end of the shaft
with two notches
Right end of the shaft

Air Fryer Basket
When air-frying or dehydrating, use this basket
(placed in the rails above the Baking pan) to
optimise your cooking results.
Rotisserie Fork
Use for roasts or a whole chicken.
Force the shaft length ways through the meat
and centre.
• Slide the forks onto the shaft from either end
into the meat. Then lock into place with the
screws. Ensure the other screw is tted tightly
to the shaft.
• You can adjust the screws closer to the
middle if needed, but never outwards
towards the ends.
• Ensure that the roast meat or chicken are not
too large and are able to rotate freely inside
the Air Fryer Oven.
• Tie up the chicken or other roast meat with
cooking string to hold it tightly around the
rotisserie stick.
NOTE:
Be careful when handling the fork in
order to prevent any injuries!
The fork will be hot and oven gloves
must be used when handling.
• Place right-hand end of the shaft with one
notch as far as it will go into the round holder
on the right-hand side of the cooking space,
then hang the other end of the shaft into the
support on the left-hand side of the cooking
space.
• Check that it ts securely. The rotating
rotisserie fork must not be able to rotate
about its own axis while the Air Fryer Oven is
switched off. If this is not the case, place the
right-hand end of the shaft deeper into the
holder. After use, remove the hot rotating
rotisserie fork from the cooking space using
the rotisserie removal tool. Always use oven
gloves to remove the rotating forks and take
off the grilled items.

Making Homemade Fries
For the best results, we advise to use pre-baked
fries. If you want to make home-made fries, follow
the steps below:
1. Peel the potatoes and cut them into sticks.
2. Soak the potato sticks in a bowl of water for at
least 30 minutes. Take them out and dry them
with paper towels.
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
ngers or with a kitchen utensil so that excess
oil stays behind in the bowl. Put the sticks in the
air fryer basket.
5. Slide the air fryer basket inside the Air Fryer
Oven.
6. Cook the fries for 10 – 16 mins at 200°C.
Rotisserie:
• When the rotisserie fork is tted inside the slots
in the middle of the Air Fryer Oven, pressing the
Rotating button will rotate the rotisserie fork.
• The rotisserie fork is a great way to cook a roast
chicken inside the Air Fryer Oven as it allows
even circulation and thorough cooking.
• Press the Rotating button to stop the rotation.
Proof:
• Proong is a method used in baking
bread. During this time, dough undergoes
fermentation and it takes on its nal rise
before being baked.
• Using the PROOF pre-set option, the warm
temperature can increase the activity of the
yeast, resulting in faster dough rise.
• The low temperature of 35°C is ideal to
achieve this. The time can be adjusted
between 1 minute – 90 minutes.
• After proong, the bread can be baked.
Tips:
• Foods that are smaller in size usually require a
slightly shorter cooking time than larger ones.
• Large quantities of food only require a slightly
longer cooking time than smaller quantities.
• Flipping or turning smaller sized foods halfway
through the cooking process ensures that all
the pieces are evenly cooked.
• Misting a bit of vegetable oil on fresh
potatoes is suggested for a crispier result.
When adding a little oil, do so just before
cooking.
• Snacks normally cooked in an oven can also
be cooked in the Air Fryer Oven.
• Use premade dough to prepare lled
snacks quickly and easily. Premade dough
also requires a shorter cooking time than
homemade dough.
• Place an oven safe baking tin or dish (not
included) inside the Air Fryer Oven when
baking a cake or a quiche. A tin or dish is
also suggested when cooking fragile or lled
foods.
