Before first use
1 Remove all packaging material.
2 Remove any stickers or labels from the appliance.
3 Thoroughly clean the basket and the pan with hot water, some washing-up liquid
and a non-abrasive sponge.
Note: You can also clean these parts in the dishwasher.
4 Wipe the inside and outside of the appliance with a moist cloth.
This is an Airfryer that works on hot air. Do not ll the pan with oil or frying fat.
Preparing for use
1 Place the appliance on a stable, horizontal and level surface.
Do not place the appliance on non-heat-resistant surfaces.
2 Place the basket in the pan properly (Fig. 3).
3 Pull the mains cord out of the cord storage compartment in the bottom of the
appliance.
Do not ll the pan with oil or any other liquid.
Do not put anything on top of the appliance. This disrupts the airow and aects the
hot air frying result.
Using the appliance
The Airfryer can prepare a large range of ingredients. You can nd more recipes at
www.philips.com/kitchen.
Hot air frying
1 Put the mains plug in an earthed wall socket.
2 Carefully pull the pan out of the Airfryer (Fig. 4).
3 Put the ingredients in the basket (Fig. 5).
Note: Never ll the basket beyond the MAX indication or exceed the amount indicated
in the table (see section ‘Settings’ in this chapter), as this could aect the quality of
the end result.
4 Slide the pan back into the Airfryer (Fig. 6).
Never use the pan without the basket in it.
Caution: Do not touch the pan during and some time after use, as it gets very hot. Only
hold the pan by the handle.
5 Turn the temperature control knob to the required temperature. See section
‘Settings’ in this chapter to determine the right temperature (Fig. 7).
Note: If you want to prepare dierent ingredients at the same time, make sure you
check the preparation time and the temperature required for the dierent ingredients
before you start to prepare them simultaneously. Home-made fries and drumsticks,
for example, can be prepared simultaneously because they require the same settings.
6 Determine the required preparation time for the ingredient (see section ‘Settings’ in
this chapter).
7 To switch on the appliance, turn the timer knob to the required preparation
time (Fig. 8).
Add 3 minutes to the preparation time when the appliance is cold.

9
Note: If you want, you can also let the appliance preheat without any ingredients
inside. In that case, turn the timer knob to more than 3 minutes. Then ll the basket
and turn the timer knob to the required preparation time.
,The timer starts counting down the set preparation time.
,Excess oil from the ingredients is collected on the bottom of the pan.
8 Some ingredients require shaking halfway through the preparation time (see section
‘Settings’ in this chapter). To shake the ingredients, pull the pan out of the appliance
by the handle and shake it. Then slide the pan back into the Airfryer (Fig. 9).
Caution: Do not press the basket release button during shaking (Fig. 10).
Tip: To reduce the weight, you can remove the basket from the pan and shake the
basket only. To do so, pull the pan out of the appliance, place it on a heat-resistant
surface and press the basket release button.
Tip: If you set the timer to half the preparation time, you hear the timer bell when you
have to shake the ingredients. However, this means that you have to set the timer
again to the remaining preparation time after shaking.
9 When you hear the timer bell, the set preparation time has elapsed. Pull the pan
out of the appliance and place it on a heat-resistant surface.
Note: You can also switch o the appliance manually. To do this, turn the timer control
knob to 0 (Fig. 8).
10 Check if the ingredients are ready.
If the ingredients are not ready yet, simply slide the pan back into the appliance and set
the timer to a few extra minutes.
11 To remove small ingredients (e.g. fries), press the basket release button (1) and lift
the basket out of the pan (2). (Fig. 11)
Do not turn the basket upside down with the pan still attached to it, as any excess oil
that has collected on the bottom of the pan will leak onto the ingredients.
After hot air frying, the pan and the ingredients are hot. Depending on the type of
ingredients in the Airfryer, steam may escape from the pan.
12 Empty the basket into a bowl or onto a plate. (Fig. 12)
Tip: To remove large or fragile ingredients, use a pair of tongs to lift the ingredients
out of the basket (Fig. 13).
13 When a batch of ingredients is ready, the Airfryer is instantly ready for preparing
another batch.

Settings
This table below helps you to select the basic settings for the ingredients you want to
prepare.
Note: Keep in mind that these settings are indications. As ingredients dier in
origin, size, shape as well as brand, we cannot guarantee the best setting for your
ingredients.
Because the Rapid Air technology instantly reheats the air inside the appliance, pulling
the pan briey out of the appliance during hot air frying barely disturbs the process.
Tips
- Smaller ingredients usually require a slightly shorter preparation time than larger
ingredients.
- A larger amount of ingredients only requires a slightly longer preparation time, a
smaller amount of ingredients only requires a slightly shorter preparation time.
- Shaking smaller ingredients halfway through the preparation 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 Airfryer
within a few minutes after you added the oil.
- Snacks that can be prepared in an oven can also be prepared in the Airfryer.
- The optimal amount for preparing crispy fries is 500 grams.
- Use pre-made dough to prepare lled snacks quickly and easily. Pre-made dough
also requires a shorter preparation time than home-made dough.
- You can also use the Airfryer to reheat ingredients. To reheat ingredients, set the
temperature to 150°C for up to 10 minutes.

Note: When you use ingredients that rise (such as with cake, quiche or muns) the
baking tray should not be lled more than halfway.
Note: Add 3 minutes to the preparation time when you start frying while the Airfryer is
still cold.
Making home-made fries
For the best results, we advise to use pre-baked (e.g. frozen) 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 for at least 30 minutes, take them out and dry them
with kitchen paper.
3 Pour ½ 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 a kitchen utensil so that excess
oil stays behind in the bowl. Put the sticks in the basket.
Note: Do not tilt the bowl to put all the sticks in the basket in one go, to prevent
excess oil from ending up on the bottom of the pan.
5 Fry the potato sticks according to the instructions in this chapter.

12
Cleaning
Clean the appliance after every use.
The pan, basket and the inside of the appliance have a non-stick coating. Do not
use metal kitchen utensils or abrasive cleaning materials to clean them, as this may
damage the non-stick coating.
1 Remove the mains plug from the wall socket and let the appliance cool down.
Note: Remove the pan to let the Airfryer cool down more quickly.
2 Wipe the outside of the appliance with a moist cloth.
3 Clean the pan, and basket with hot water, some washing-up liquid and a non-
abrasive sponge.
You can use a degreasing liquid to remove any remaining dirt.
Note: The pan, and basket are dishwasher-proof.
Tip: If dirt is stuck to the basket, or the bottom of the pan, ll the pan with hot water
with some washing-up liquid. Put the basket in the pan and let the pan and the
basket soak for approximately 10 minutes.
4 Clean the inside of the appliance with hot water and a non-abrasive sponge.
5 Clean the heating element with a cleaning brush to remove any food residues.
Storage

Troubleshooting
This chapter summarises the most common problems you could encounter with the
appliance. If you are unable to solve the problem with the information below, visit
www.philips.com/support for a list of frequently asked questions or contact the
Consumer Care Centre in your country.
Problem Possible cause Solution
The Airfryer does
not work.
The appliance is not
plugged in.
Put the mains plug in an earthed wall
socket.
You have not set the
timer.
Turn the timer knob to the required
preparation time to switch on the
appliance.
The ingredients
fried with
the Airfryer are
not done.
The amount of
ingredients in
the basket is too big.
Put smaller batches of ingredients in
the basket. Smaller batches are fried
more evenly.
The set temperature is
Airfryertoo low.
Turn the temperature control knob to
the required temperature setting (see
section ‘Settings’ in chapter ‘Using the
appliance’).
The preparation time
is too short.
Turn the timer knob to the required
preparation time (see section ‘Settings’
in chapter ‘Using the appliance’).
The ingredients
are fried unevenly
in the Airfryer.
Certain types of
ingredients need
to be shaken
halfway through the
preparation time.
Ingredients that lie on top of or across
each other (e.g. fries) need to be shaken
halfway through the preparation time.
See section ‘Settings’ in chapter ‘Using
the appliance’.
Fried snacks are
not crispy when
they come out of
the Airfryer.
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 crispier result.
I cannot slide
the pan into
the appliance
properly.
There are too much
ingredients in the
basket.
Do not ll the basket beyond the MAX
indication.
The basket is not
placed in the pan
correctly.
Push the basket down into the pan until
you hear a click.
The handle of
the baking tray
is obstructing the pan.
Push the handle to a horizontal
position, so it does not stick out on top
of the basket.

14
Problem Possible cause Solution
White
smoke comes out
of the appliance.
You are preparing
greasy ingredients.
When you fry greasy ingredients in
the Airfryer, a large amount of oil will
leak into the pan. The oil produces
white smoke and the pan may heat up
more than usual. This does not aect
the appliance or the end result.
The pan still contains
grease residues from
previous use.
White smoke is caused by
grease heating up in the pan.
AirfryerMake sure you clean the pan
properly after each use.
Fresh fries are
fried unevenly in
the Airfryer.
You did not soak the
potato sticks properly
before you fried them.
Soak the potato sticks in a bowl for at
least 30 minutes, take them out and dry
them with kitchen paper.
You did not use the
right potato type.
Use fresh potatoes and make sure they
stay rm during frying.
Fresh fries are not
crispy when they
come out of the
Airfryer.
The crispiness of the
fries depends on the
amount of oil and
water in the fries.
Make sure you dry the potato sticks
properly before you add the oil.
Cut the potato sticks smaller for a
crispier result.
Add slightly more oil for a crispier result.
