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 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 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 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.

ENGLISH
Cleaning
Warning
• 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/O
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 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
• Put the pan with the rubber plug in the dishwasher. Do not remove the rubber
plug before cleaning.
Tip
• 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.
