time. This indicates that the heating element is switched on and off to maintain the correct
(set) temperature.
d. Excess oil from the ingredients is collected on the bottom of the pan.
8. Some ingredients require shaking halfway through the cooking process (see section
“Settings” in this chapter). To shake the ingredients, pull the pan out of the appliance by
the handle and shake it. Then slide the pan back into the air fryer and continue cooking.
Caution: Do not press the button on the handle during shaking as this will cause
the basket to separate from the pan.
Tip: To reduce the weight, you can remove the basket from the pan and shake the
basket only. To do so, pull the pan out of the appliance, place it on a heat-resistant
surface and press the button on the handle to release the basket.
Tip: If you set the timer to half the preparation time, the timer bell will go off when you
have to shake the ingredients. However, this means that you have to set the timer again
to the remaining preparation time after shaking.
Tip: If you set the timer to full preparation time, there will be no timer bell halfway
through cooking. You will need to monitor the cooking process to determine the halfway
point for shaking the pan. You can pull the pan out at any time to check the ingredients
cooking condition, the power will shut down automatically and resume after you slide
the pan back into the appliance (the timer always continues to count down in this
situation).
9. When you hear the timer bell, the set cooking time has elapsed. Pull the pan out of the
appliance and place it on a heat-resistant surface.
Note: You can also switch off the appliance manually. To do this, turn the temperature
control knob counterclockwise to 0, or remove the pan.
10. Check if the ingredients are ready.
If the ingredients are not yet ready, simply slide the pan back into the appliance and set
the timer for a few extra minutes.
11. To remove small ingredients (e.g. fries), place the pan on a heat resistant surface, press
the basket release button and lift the basket out of the pan.
Do not turn the basket upside down with the pan still attached to it, as any excess
oil that has collected on the bottom of the pan will leak onto the ingredients.
After hot air frying, the pan and the ingredients are hot. Depending on the type of
the ingredients in the air fryer, steam may escape from the pan.
