Airfrying
Caution
• This is an Airfryer that works on hot air. Do not ll 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.

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) oury potatoes.
-It is best to air fry the fries in portions of up to 500g/18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 ngers 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 pan at once to prevent
excess oil from going into the pan.
6 Put the sticks into the pan.
7 Fry the potato sticks and shake the pan 2-3 times during
cooking.

18 ENGLISH
Cleaning
Warning
•Let the frying insert, the pan, and the inside of the appliance cool
down completely before you start cleaning.
• The pan, the frying insert, 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/O ( ) button to switch o the
appliance, remove the plug from the wall outlet and let the
appliance cool down.
Tip
• Remove the pan and the frying insert 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 frying insert in a dishwasher. You
can also clean them with hot water, dishwashing liquid and
a non-abrasive sponge (see ‘Cleaning table’).
Tip
• If food residues stuck to the pan or the frying insert, 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 frying insert 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.

19ENGLISH
6 Clean the inside of the appliance with hot water and a
non-abrasive sponge.
Cleaning table
Storage
1 Unplug the appliance and let it cool down.
2 Make sure all parts are clean and dry before storing.
Note
• Always hold the Airfryer horizontally when you carry it. Make sure that
you also hold the pan on the front part of the appliance as the pan
can slide out of the appliance if accidentally tilted downwards. This
can lead to damaging of these parts.
• Always make sure that the removable parts of the Airfryer are xed
before you carry and/or store it.

This warranty is not valid if a defect is due to incorrect use or poor
maintenance. Our warranty does not aect your rights under law

Troubleshooting
This chapter summarizes 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 Center in your country.
Problem Possible cause Solution
The outside of the
appliance becomes
hot during use.
The heat inside radiates
to the outside walls.
This is normal. All handles and knobs that
you need to touch during use stay cool
enough to touch.
The pan, the frying insert, and the inside
of the appliance always become hot when
the appliance is switched on to ensure the
food is properly cooked. These parts are
always too hot to touch.
If you leave the appliance switched on
for a longer time, some areas get too hot
to touch. These areas are marked on the
appliance with the following icon:
As long as you are aware of the hot areas
and avoid touching them, the appliance is
completely safe to use.
My home-made
fries do not turn
out as I expected.
You did not use the right
potato type.
To get the best results, use fresh oury
potatoes. If you need to store the
potatoes, do not store them in a cold
environment like in a fridge. Choose
potatoes whose package states that they
are suitable for frying.
The amount of
ingredients in the pan is
too big.
Follow the instructions on page 17 in
this user manual to prepare home-made
fries.
Certain types of
ingredients need to be
shaken halfway through
the cooking time.
Follow the instructions on page 17 in
