PURPOSE OF USE
• This air fryer is intended for standard household use only. It is used
for preparing fried and non-fried meals without any added oil or with
asmall amount of oil. It is suitable for preparing foods such as pre-fried
or homemade French fries, potatoes, schnitzels, chicken thighs, fish
pieces and fish fingers, vegetables and much more. The fryer can also
be used as amini oven for baking cookies, cupcakes, muffins, etc.
• The fryer functions on the basis of circulation of hot air. The meal
is evenly cooked, has that freshly fried taste and is far healthier.
Compared to foods fried in oil, it also has far less calories and
cholesterol.
• This air fryer is not intended for heating water, frying oil or other liquids.

warm water using aneutral kitchen detergent. Then rinse these parts
with clean water and allow them to dry naturally or dry them out their
using awiping cloth.
• Wipe the external and internal surface of the air fryer using sponge
lightly dipped in warm water. Then wipe it dry using aclean wiping
cloth.

OPERATING LOCATION
• Position the fryer on astable, horizontal, heat resistant surface.
Always position it in away that children cannot reach it. After inserting
the frying basket into the air fryer, always orient the air fryer so that
nobody can accidentally hit the basket handle and thereby knock the
air fryer over.
Attention:
Do not place the fryer on or in the vicinity of
flammable materials, for example table cloths or near
drapes. Also do not place it in the vicinity of objects or
under objects, which may be damaged by steam, for
example walls and cupboards.
Do not place any items directly next to the fryer.
This could impair the air current and affect the frying
results.
• If you wish to place the air fryer on acooktop underneath arange
hood, ensure that the cooktop is turned off and cool.

COOKING FOOD
• Practically every meal that is traditionally baked in an oven, can be
fried using hot air.
• The best and most even frying results are achieved when the food
pieces are of asimilar size and thickness. Therefore, cut the food into
pieces of the same size. Smaller food pieces require ashorter frying
time than larger pieces.
• To achieve the best possible result in the shortest possible time, fry the
food in small batches, If possible, avoid stacking and layering the food.
• Most packaged foods do not need to be placed in oil prior to air frying.
Most of them already contain oil and other additives, which improve
browning and crispiness.
• This air fryer is excellent for frying frozen treats and starters. To
achieve the best results, arrange the food pieces in asingle layer on
the grate.
• Remove excess ice from frozen foods.
• When layering the food, it is appropriate to shake it or turn food over
during air frying to ensure even frying results.
• Pour asmall amount of oil over foods that are prepared by peeling,
for example French fries, etc. as this will help in their browning and
crispiness.
• When air frying fresh vegetables, ensure that they are thoroughly dry
prior to air frying them.
• When air frying foods coated in batter, use adough with athick and
pasty consistency. Light batters may drip off and will not be fried
sufficiently quickly as is the case with astandard oil deep fryer.
• Coating food coated in batter with breadcrumbs or puffed rice and
subsequently spraying it with oil will help to achieve acrispy and
healthier form of your favourite fried foods.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Warning:
Prior to cleaning or maintenance, always disconnect
the air fryer from the power socket and allow all parts
to cool down completely.
To clean the the air fryer, its insides and all the
accessories, never use chemicals, dishwashing
abrasive wool, steel wool or cleaning products with
abrasive components. Otherwise the surface of the
appliance may be damaged.
Attention:
The air fryer and its power cord are not intended for
washing in adishwasher.
Do not spray these parts with water or any other
liquid or submerge them in water or any another
liquid.
• Disconnect the air fryer from the power socket and allow it to cool
down. The air fryer will cool down faster when the frying basket is
taken out.
• We recommend cleaning the air fryer immediately after it cools
down to prevent food scraps from drying on. These are harder to
remove later. Using apaper towel, remove any food scraps from the
accessories and the internal area of the fryer.
• Remove the grate out of the frying basket. Wash both using asoft
dishwashing sponge under running water with the addition of neutral
dishwashing detergent. Then rinse these parts under clean water, dry
thoroughly, and put them back in their place. These parts can also be
washed in adishwasher.
• If you are unsuccessful in removing baked on food remains, which are
stuck on the surface of the basket, then fill the basket with warm water
with an addition of neutral dishwashing detergent and put the grate
into it. Allow the water and detergent solution to act for approximately
10 minutes in order to soak the food remains.. Then clean both parts in
the usual manner.
• Ensure that baked on food remains do not accumulate on the
removable basket and on the grate. Prior to further use, both parts
must be clean.
• Wipe the external and internal surface of the air fryer using sponge
lightly dipped in warm water. Then wipe it dry using aclean wiping
cloth.
• Only clean the power cord of the air fryer using dry wiping cloth, never
wash it with water.
