‘Food table’ for the right quantities and approximate cooking
times.
•Do not exceed the amount indicated in the ‘Food table’ section or
overll the basket beyond the ‘MAX’ indication as this could aect
the quality of the end result.
•If you want to prepare dierent ingredients at the same time,
make sure you check the suggested cooking time required for the
dierent ingredients before you start to cook them simultaneously.
Home-made fries and drumsticks, for example, can be cooked
simultaneously because they require the same settings.

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 grams
for an even result. Larger fries tend to be less crispy than
smaller fries.
- Shake the basket 2-3 times during the air frying process.
1 Peel the potatoes and cut into sticks (1/2cm / 1/4 in thick).
2 Soak the potato sticks in a bowl of water for at least 30
minutes.

19ENGLISH
3 Empty the bowl and dry the potato sticks with a dish
towel or paper towel.
4 Pour a half tablespoon of cooking oil in 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 in the basket.
7 Fry the potato sticks and shake the basket halfway
through the air frying process. Shake 2-3 times if you
prepare more than 400g of fries.
Note
•Consult the “Food table” for the right quantities and cooking times.
Using the double-layer rack
Use the double-layer rack to maximize your cooking space.
Note
•If cooking dierent ingredients at the same time, make sure that
the cooking temperature and time is the same for each type of
ingredient.
•Always position meats on lower level and vegetables above to
avoid cross contamination of food or unsafe transfer of meat
juices or partially cooked foods.
1 Follow steps 1 to 4 of section ‘Airfrying’.
2 Put one half of the ingredients in the basket.
3 Place the double-layer rack in the basket.

20 ENGLISH
4 Put the second half of the ingredients onto the double-
layer rack.
5 Follow steps 6 to 14 of section ‘Airfrying’.
Warning
•The double-layer rack becomes very hot during use. Wear oven
gloves when you remove the double-layer rack from the basket.
Using the non-stick grill pan
1 Follow steps 1 to 3 of section ‘Airfrying’.
2 Press the basket release button and lift the basket out of
the pan.
3 Attach the EasyClick handle to the non-stick grill pan (see
‘Placing the EasyClick handle’).
4 Place the non-stick grill pan in the pan.
5 Put the ingredients on the non-stick grill pan.
6 Follow steps 6 to 14 of section ‘Airfrying’.
Using the splatter-proof lid
Use the splatter-proof lid if you are cooking light-weight
ingredients in order to keep them in the basket, fatty
ingredients or to reduce the speed of browning.
1 Follow steps 1 to 5 of section ‘Airfrying’.
2 Hold the lid with the top side facing you. Insert the two
hooks of the lid into the two slots on the front side of the
basket. Push the lid down until it locks into position (‘click’
