Making homemade chips:
For the best results, we advise to use pre-baked chips. If you want to make home-
made chips, follow the steps below:
1. Peel the potatoes and cut them into sticks.
2. Soak the potato sticks in a bowl of water for at least 30 minutes, take them out
and dry them with kitchen paper.
3. Pour ½ tablespoon of olive oil in a bowl, put the sticks on top and mix until the
sticks are coated with the olive oil.
4. Remove the sticks from the bowl and put the sticks into the frying basket.
5. Cook the chips for 20 – 25 minutes at 200°C. Give the frying basket’s drawer a
shake hallway through the cooking process for a more crispy and even result.

Helpful cooking tips:
• Foods that are smaller in size usually require a slightly shorter cooking time than
larger ones.
• Large quantities of food only require a slightly longer cooking time than smaller
quantities.
• Flipping or turning smaller sized foods halfway through the cooking process
ensures that all the pieces are evenly fried.
• Misting a bit of vegetable or olive oil on fresh potatoes is suggested for a crispier
result. When adding a little oil, do so just before cooking.
• Snacks normally cooked in an oven can also be cooked in this appliance.
• Use premade dough to prepare filled snacks quickly and easily. Premade dough
also requires a shorter cooking time than homemade dough.

cleaners on the outside of the appliance.
• Do not immerse the power cord, plug or the housing body in water or any other liquids
as it may result in damage, fire, electric shock or injury.
Descaling:
The frequency of descaling depends on the hardness of the water and how often the
appliance is used. Regular descaling saves energy and increases the service life of
the appliance.
We recommend regularly removing limescale deposits with a descaling agent. A
standard descaling agent for kitchen equipment can be used for descaling this
appliance. Please follow the descaling agent’s instructions for using the correct ratio
mixture of distilled or purified tap water along with the descaling agent.
To descale the appliance, fill the water tank with the correct ratio mixture of distilled
or purified tap water along with the descaling agent, then allow for the cleaning
program to run by pressing the button. This process takes about 25 minutes to
complete and the appliance will switch off automatically once the cleaning cycle has
finished.
Perform at least three more cleaning runs with distilled or purified tap water only to
flush the lines, before regularly using the appliance again.

Storing:
Allow the appliance to cool down completely before storing. Store the appliance in
an upright position in a dry location. Do not place any heavy items on top of the
appliance during storage as this may result in possible damage to the appliance.
Ensure to remove and discard all water from the water tank, drip tray and inside the
frying basket drawer, especially if it will be unused for an extended period of time, as
residual water and other liquids are prone to mildew.
Proper disposal:
Once the appliance reaches the end of its life cycle, do not throw it away. Hand it in at
an official recycling collection point.
