for 3 minutes at60°C.
Once the air fryer has finished preheating, carefully remove the drawer from the air fryer.

Preset functions: Press the Program function to select your desired preset function.
Continue to press to move through to the available functions. After you have
selected your desired function, press Start/Pause to start cooking.
DIY setting: Press the Time/Temperature button according to the food variety and
quantity (refer to the table below for time and temperature recommendations). Using
the ‘+’ or ‘-’ button, adjust the time and temperature as required. After you have input
your desired setting, press Start/Pause to start cooking.
This appliance is equipped with a timer. When the timer has counted down to 0, the
appliance produces the sound of a bell and switches o automatically. Pull the drawer
out of the appliance using hot pads or gloves and place it on a heat resistant surface to
check if the ingredients are ready. If the ingredients are not ready yet, simply slide the
drawer back into the appliance and set the timer for a few extra minutes.
To remove the ingredients, press the Basket Release button and lift the basket out of the
drawer. Use a set of tongs to remove the ingredients to prevent scalding.
Some ingredients require turning halfway through the cooking time. To turn over the
ingredients, press Start/Pause to pause the cooking process and pull the drawer
out of the appliance. Turn over the ingredients using tongs. Place the drawer back into
the air fryer. To resume cooking, press Start/Pause.
Slide the drawer back into the air fryer. Never use the air fryer without the basket or the
bakeware in the drawer.

BASICSETTINGSANDINGREDIENTPREPARATION
The table below helps you to select the basic settings for ingredients you want to prepare.
Note: Keep in mind that these settings are for your reference only as ingredients dier in origin, size
and shape and we cannot guarantee the best setting for your ingredients. Removing the drawer to
toss or turn ingredients barely disturbs the cooking process due to Rapid Air technology (instantly
returns the temperature to the required level).
TIPS
• Smaller ingredients usually require a slightly shorter cooking time than larger ingredients.
• A larger amount of ingredients requires a slightly longer cooking time. A smaller amount of
ingredients only require a short amount of cooking time.
• Tossing smaller ingredients halfway through the cooking 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 a
few minutes after you add the oil.
• Do not cook extremely greasy ingredients such as sausages in the air fryer.
• Snacks that can be cooked in an oven can also be prepared in the air fryer.
• The optimal amount for cooking crispy fries is 500 grams.
• Use pre-made dough to make snacks with fillings quickly and easily. Pre-made dough also
requires a shorter cooking time than homemade dough.
• You can also use the air fryer to reheat food. To reheat food, set the temperature to 150°C for up
to 10 minutes.

CLEANINGANDMAINTENANCE
The drawer, basket and interior of the appliance have a stainless steel coating. Do not use metallic
kitchen utensils or abrasive cleaning materials to clean them, as this may damage the stainless
steelcoating.

Note: Remove the drawer to allow the air fryer to cool down more quickly.
2. Wipe the exterior of the appliance with a damp cloth.

PROBLEM POSSIBLECAUSE SOLUTION
Homemade fries are
fried unevenly in the
airfryer.
You did not soak the
potato sticks suciently
before you fried them.
Soak the potato sticks in a bowl of
water for at least 30 minutes, drain
and dry them with kitchen paper
before frying.
You did not use the right
type of potatoes.
Use fresh potatoes that stay firm
duringfrying.
Homemade fries
are not crispy when
they come out of the
airfryer.
The crispiness of the
fries depends on the
amount of oil and water in
thefries.
Make sure you dry the potato sticks
thoroughly before you add the oil.
Cut the potato into smaller sticks for a
crispier result.
Add slightly more oil for a
crispierresult.
PROBLEM POSSIBLECAUSE SOLUTION
The air fryer does
notwork.
The appliance is not
plugged in.
Connect the power plug to an
earthed powersocket.
You have not set thetimer.
Press the timer button and select
the required cooking time to start
theappliance.
The ingredients fried
with the air fryer are
not done.
There are too many
ingredients in the basket.
Place smaller sized ingredients in
the basket. Smaller ingredients fry
moreevenly.
The selected temperature
is too low.
Gradually increase the temperature
level (see Step 5, page 6 for
furtherinformation).
The cooking time is
tooshort.
Gradually increase the timer (see Step
5, page 6 for further information).
The ingredients are
fried unevenly in the
air fryer.
Certain types of
ingredients need to be
tossed halfway through
the cooking time.
Ingredients that overlap each other
(e.g. fries) need to be tossed halfway
through the cooking time.
Fried snacks are not
crispy when they come
out of the air fryer.
You used a type of snack
meant to be prepared in a
traditional deep fryer.
Use oven snacks or lightly brush
some oil onto the snacks for a
crispier result.
White smoke emits
from the appliance.
You have used
greasyingredients.
When you fry greasy ingredients in
the air fryer, a large amount of oil will
leak into the drawer.
The heated oil produces white smoke
and the drawer may heat up more
than usual. This does not aect the
appliance or the end result.
The drawer contains
grease residue from
previous use.
White smoke is caused by grease
heating up in the drawer. Make sure
you clean the drawer thoroughly after
eachuse.
