Once the Timer Dial reaches ‘0’, heating will stop. Switch the wall switch off and unplug the
power cable from the wall socket. Pull the Glass Frying Pan out of the air fryer using the
Handle, and put the pan on a heat-resistant surface.
Pour the food on the Basket Tray into plates or bowls. To remove bigger pieces or fragile food
ingredients, you can use clamps to take them out from the Basket Tray.
After completing the cooking of one batch of food, the air fryer is ready to cook another
batch of food.
At any time, opening the appliance by pulling the Glass Frying Pan out will cease heating and
pushing it back in will resume heating. The Timer countdown ceases during the pause.
However, DO NOT pull out the Glass Frying Pan unnecessarily during operation and always
wear protective, insulated oven gloves and use a utensil with a long handle when inserting or
removing items from the hot appliance.
Smaller pieces of food require less time for cooking.
During the process of cooking, overturning the smaller pieces can help distribute heat more
evenly.
By adding small amounts of oil to the food prior to frying, the food can be made crispier.
After adding the oil, set the food for several minutes before frying them in the air fryer.
Foods that can be cooked in the oven (e.g. chicken nuggets, French Fries and mozzarella sticks)
can also be cooked in the air fryer. Optimal weight of fries is 500 grams.
Using pre-made store bought dough instead of homemade dough, requires a shorter
cooking time.
According to the USDA (United States Department of Agriculture), the recommended safe
cooking temperatures for the following food ingredients are as follows:
“Rest time” is the amount of time the product remains at the final temperature, after it has
been removed from a grill, oven or other heat source. During the three minutes after meat
is removed the heat source, its temperature remains constant or continues to rise, which
destroys harmful bacter
Thick pieces of frozen meat, fish or raw food that needs to be cooked all the way through.
Delicate foods or vegetables cut into small pieces.
Breads, pastries and cake.
Leftovers and smaller pieces of food.
Thin pieces of chicken tenders, pork chops or steaks if you want a crispy crust and sear.
Pre-cooked frozen foods like French fries, cheese sticks or fish sticks.

Possible Causes How to Solve
Fried foods are not
crispy
The fried foods you chose
cannot be baked in an air
fryer, but require a
traditional fryer
Add some oil to the food items, let it stand for a
few minutes before frying to increase their crispy
quality
White smoke
coming out of the
product
High oil-content foods will release large amounts
of oil which will drip onto the Glass Frying Pan /
Leftover oil on the Glass Frying Pan produces
white smoke. This will not affect the end result
French fries were not soaked
adequately before the frying
Oil was not evenly coated
throughout
French fries are not
fried evenly inside
the Glass Frying Pan
Use fresh potatoes of the correct type and make
sure that they will not break open in the process
of frying
Since crispiness is decided by the moisture &
oil-content in the fries:
1.Make sure to rinse & drain the fries thoroughly
before adding oil to them
2.Cut the fries into smaller sizes
3.Add small amounts of oil to the fries
