Cooking with Smart Chef programs
Season your ingredients as desired. Put the food inside the basket and
slide the basket inside the appliance.
Note
•Do not use honey, syrups or any other sugary ingredients to season your food,
since the browning will get very dark.
1 Press the On/O button to switch on the appliance.
2 To change the Smart Chef program, turn the QuickControl dial until
the desired icon is blinking.
3 To conrm the Smart Chef program, press the QuickControl dial.
»The appliance automatically calculates the ideal cooking
temperature and time. The screen displays the rst estimated
cooking temperature and time after a few minutes. During this
time the appliance has already started cooking. As long as the
screen displays the blinking bars and the temperature/time
alternately, the appliance is still calculating the cooking time, and

cooking with the manual mode because restarting the Smart Chef program
with partially cooked food will lead to a wrong estimation of the cooking time.
•As soon as the calculation phase is nished you will see the temperature and
time displayed continuously (without blinking bars), and you may open the
drawer to check the status of the food.

Making home-made fries
To make great home-made fries in the Airfryer:
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 lukewarm water (~40°C/100°F) for
3 minutes.
3 Empty the bowl and dry the potato sticks with a dish towel or paper
towel.
4 Pour 1–3 tablespoons 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 Start the Smart Chef program for home-made fries . When shaking

•The pan, basket, fat reducer and inside of the appliance have a non-stick
coating. Do not use metalkitchen utensils or abrasive cleaning materials as
this maydamage 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

20
ENGLISH
Tip
•Remove the pan and basket to let the Airfryer cool down more quickly.
2 Remove the fat reducer from the pan using rubber tipped tongs.
Dispose of rendered fat or oil from the bottom of the pan.
3 Clean the pan, basket and fat reducer 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, fat reducer or 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, fat
reducer or 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.
6 Clean the inside of the appliance with hot water and a non-abrasive
sponge.
