Airfrying

This is an Airfryer that works on hot air. Do not fill the pan with oil, frying fat or
any other liquid.
Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs. Handle the hot pan with
oven-safe gloves.
This appliance is for household use only.
This appliance may produce some smoke when you use it for the first time.
This is normal.
Preheating of the appliance is not necessary.
1. Put the plug in the wall outlet.
2. Remove the pan with the basket from the appliance by pulling the handle.
3. Put the ingredients in the basket.

Note
The Airfryer can prepare a large range of ingredients. Consult the 'Food table' for the
right quantities and approximate cooking times.
Do not exceed the amount indicated in the 'Food table' section or overfill the basket
beyond the 'MAX' indication as this could affect the quality of the end result.
If you want to prepare different ingredients at the same time, make sure you check
the suggested cooking time required for the different ingredients before you start to
cook them simultaneously.
4. Put the pan with the basket back into the Airfryer.
Never use the pan without the basket in it.
Do not touch the pan or the basket during and for some time after use, as
they get very hot.
5. Press the power On/Off button to switch on the appliance.
6. Press the temperature up or down button to choose the needed temperature.

7. Press the time up button to choose the needed time.
8. Press the On/Off button to start the cooking process.
Note
During cooking the temperature and time are shown alternately.
The last cooking minute counts down in seconds.
Refer to the food table with basic cooking settings for different types of food.
Tip
During cooking, if you want to change the cooking time or temperature, press the
corresponding up or down button at any time to do so.
To pause the cooking process, press the On/Off button. To resume the cooking
process, press the On/Off button again to continue the cooking process.
The device is automatically in pause mode when you pull out the pan and the basket.
The cooking process continues when the pan and the basket are put in the appliance
again.
To change the temperature unit from Celsius to Fahrenheit or the other way
around on your Airfryer, press the temperature up and down button at the

same time for about 10 seconds.
Note
If you do not set the required cooking time within 30 minutes, the appliance
automatically shuts off for safety reasons.
Some ingredients require shaking or turning halfway through the cooking time (see
'Food table'). To shake the ingredients, pull out the pan with the basket, place it on a
heat resistant work top, slide the lid and press the basket release button to remove
the basket and shake the basket over the sink. Then put the basket into the pan, and
slide them back into the appliance.
If you set the timer to the half of the cooking time and you hear the timer bell it is time
to shake or turn the ingredients. Be sure to reset the timer to the remaining cooking
time.
9. When you hear the timer bell, the cooking time has elapsed.
Note
You can stop the cooking process manually. To do this, press the On/Off button.
10. Pull out the pan and check if the ingredients are ready.

The Airfryer pan is hot after the cooking process. Always place it on a heat
resistant work top (eg. trivet, etc.) when you remove the pan from the device.
Note
If the ingredients are not ready yet, simply slide the pan back into the Airfryer by the
handle and add a few extra minutes to the set time.
11. To remove small ingredients (e.g. fries), lift the basket out of the pan by sliding
the lid first, and then pressing the basket release button.
After the cooking process, the pan, the basket, the interior housing and the
ingredients are hot. Depending on the type of ingredients in the Airfryer, steam may
escape from the pan.
12. Empty the basket contents into a bowl or onto a plate. Always remove the
basket from the pan to empty contents as hot oil may be in the bottom of the
pan.
Note
To remove large or fragile ingredients, use a pair of tongs to lift out the ingredients.
Excess oil or rendered fat from the ingredients is collected on the bottom of the pan.
Depending on the type of ingredients cooking, you may want to carefully pour off any

excess oil or rendered fat from the pan after each batch or before shaking or
replacing the basket in the pan. Place the basket on a heat-resistant surface. Wear
oven-safe gloves to pour off excess oil or rendered fat. Return the basket into the
pan.
When a batch of ingredients is ready, the Airfryer is instantly ready for preparing
another batch.
Note
Repeat steps 3 to 12 if you want to prepare another batch.

Making home-made fries
To make great home-made fries in the Airfryer:

Choose a potato variety suitable for making fries, e.g. fresh, (slightly) floury potatoes.
It is best to air fry the fries in portions of up to 800 g/28 oz for an even result. Larger
fries tend to be less crispy than smaller fries.
1. Peel the potatoes and cut into sticks (10 x 10 mm/0.4 x 0.4 in thick).
2. Soak the potato sticks in a bowl of water for at least 30 minutes.
3. Empty the bowl and dry the potato sticks with a dish towel or paper towel.
4. Pour one tablespoon of cooking oil into the bowl, put the sticks in the bowl and
mix until the sticks are coated with oil.
5. Remove the sticks from the bowl with your fingers or a slotted kitchen utensil
so excess oil remains in the bowl.
Note
Do not tilt the bowl to pour all the sticks in the basket at once to prevent excess
oil from going into the pan.
6. Put the sticks into the basket.
7. Fry the potato sticks and shake the basket 2-3 times during cooking.
Cleaning
Let the basket, the pan, and the inside of the appliance cool down completely before
you start cleaning.
The pan, the basket, and the inside of the appliance have a non-stick coating. Do not
use metal kitchen utensils or abrasive cleaning materials as this may damage the
non-stick coating.
Clean the appliance after every use. Remove oil and fat from the bottom of the pan after
every use.
1. Press the power On/Off ( ) button to switch off the appliance, remove the plug
from the wall outlet and let the appliance cool down.
Tip
Remove the pan and the basket to let the Airfryer cool down more quickly.
2. Dispose of rendered fat or oil from the bottom of the pan.
3. Clean the pan and the basket in a dishwasher. You can also clean them with

hot water, dishwashing liquid and a non-abrasive sponge (see 'Cleaning table').
Note
Tip
Put the pan with the rubber plug in the dishwasher. Do not remove the rubber plug
before cleaning.
If food residues stuck to the pan or the basket, you can soak them in hot water
and dishwashing liquid for 10–15 minutes. Soaking loosens the food residues and
makes it easier to remove. Make sure you use a dishwashing liquid that can
dissolve oil and grease. If there are grease stains on the pan or the basket and
you have not been able to remove them with hot water and dishwashing liquid,
use a liquid degreaser.
If necessary, food residues stuck to the heating element can be removed with a
soft to medium bristle brush. Do not use a steel wire brush or a hard bristle brush,
as this might damage the coating on the heating element.
4. Wipe the outside of the appliance with a moist cloth.
Note
Make sure no moisture remains on the control panel. Dry the control panel with a
cloth after you have cleaned it.
5. Clean the heating element with a cleaning brush to remove any food residues.
