Seings
To assist with selection of cooking times and
maximum basket volumes for specic
ingredients,refer to the table on page 8 of this
booklet.
Thetimeseingrangeis0-60Minutes.Within
this range,you can set any time as your desire to
ensure food will be cooked to your liking.
The temperature can be set 80ºC to 200ºC.
Within in this range you can select and set any
temperature to your desire to ensure food can be
cooked to your liking.
NOTE: Please keep in mind that time and
temperature seings are indicative only
and that variation in ingredients size,
shapes and brands may require minor
time adjustments up or down from your
manual seing or the dedicated preset
cooking times to achieve your desired /
preferred cooking outcome.
This type of heating technology reheats the air
inside the appliance instantly, so pulling the
basket briefly out of the appliance to shake
ingredients during the cooking process barely
disturbs the process.
Tips:
- Smaller ingredients usually require a slightly
shorter cooking time than larger ingredients.
- A larger amount of ingredients only requires a
slightly longer cooking time.
A smaller amount of ingredients only requires
a slightly shorter cooking time.
- Shaking smaller ingredients halfway during
the preparation time optimizes the end
result and can help prevent unevenly fried
ingredients.
- Do not prepare extremely greasy ingredients
such as sausages in the fryer.
- Snacks that can be prepared in an oven can
also be prepared in the fryer.
- The optimum amount to prepare crispy fries is
800 grams.
- 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lled
ingredients.
- You can also use the air fryer to reheat
previously cooked dishes . To reheat dishes ,
manually set the temperature to 160 ºC for up
to 10 minutes .
- For best results with home-made fries soak
the
cut fries in water for 30 minutes to remove
excess starch, dry on kitchen paper and shake
in ½ tablespoon of Olive oil (or lightly spray
with Olive Oil Spray) until the fries are coated.
- Foracrispyhome-madecoatingmixne
breadcrumbs with a tablespoon of Olive oil.
- Pre-packagedsnackslikebreadcrumbedsh
or chicken drumsticks only need to be coated
lightly with Olive oil.

Troubleshooting
Problem Possible cause Solution
The fryer does
not work The appliance is not plugged in. Put the mains plug in an earthed wall socket.
Have not set the timer Turn the timer knob to the required operation time
to switch on the appliance.
The ingredients
fried within
fryer
are not done
The amount of ingredient in
the basket are too many. Place smaller batches of ingredients in the basket. Smaller batches are fried more evenly.
The set temperature is too
low.
The operation time is too
short.
Set the temperature control to the required,
temperatureseing(refertopage8ofthis
booklet).
Set the timer to the required operation time.
The ingredients
are fried
unevenly in the
fryer
Certain types of ingredients
need to be tossed halfway
through the operation time.
Ingredients that lie on top of or across each other
(e.g. fries) need to be tossed halfway through the
preparation time. (refer to page 8 of this booklet).
Fried snacks are
not crispy when
they come out
of the fryer
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 crisper result.
I cannot slide
the basket into
the appliance
properly
There are too much
ingredients in the basket. Donotllbeyondthebasket.
White smoke
comes out from
the Appliance.
You are preparing greasy
ingredients.
The basket still contains
grease residues from
previous use.
When you fry greasy ingredients in the fryer, a
large amount of oil will leak into the basket. The oil
produces white smoke and the basket 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
basket. Make sure you clean the basket properly
after each use.
Fresh fries are
fried unevenly
in the fryer
You did not use the right
potato type.
You did not rinse the potato
fries properly before you
fried them.
Use fresh potatoes and make sure that they stay
rmduringfrying.
Rinse the potato fries properly to remove starch
from the outside of the fries.
Fresh fries are
not crispy when
they come out
of the fryer
The crispiness of the fries
depends on the amount of
oil and water in the fries.
Make sure you dry the potato fries properly before
you add the oil.
Cut the potato fries smaller for a crispier result.
Add slightly more oil for a crisper result.
