The FRIES and SAMOSA options have our breakthrough SmartTemp
Technology that automatically adjusts the temperature halfway through the
cooking program. Both programs have a preset temperature of 180°C for
the first half of the cooking time that automatically changes to 200°C for the
remaining half of the cooking time.
Our unique SmartTemp Technology cooks fries/samosa at a lower temperature
of 180°C for the first half of the cooking time which allows the food to be
cooked tenderly on the inside. For the second half of the cooking time, the
temperature automatically increases to 200°C which makes your fries/samosa
super crispy on the outside.
