Tips
• Smaller ingredients usually require a slightly shorter preparation time than larger
ingredients.
• A larger amount of ingredients only requires a slightly longer preparation time, a
smaller amount of ingredients only requires a slightly shorter preparation time.
• Shaking smaller ingredients halfway through the preparation time optimizes the end
result and can help prevent unevenly fried ingredients.
• Add some oil to fresh potatoes for a crispy result. Fry your ingredients in the air fryer
within a few minutes after you added the oil.
• Do not prepare extremely greasy ingredients such as sausages in the air fryer.
13

• Snacks that can be prepared in an oven can also be prepared in the air fryer
• The optimal amount for preparing crispy fries is 500 grams.
• Use pre-made dough to prepare lled snacks quickly and easily. Pre-made dough also
requires a shorter preparation time than home-made dough.
• Place a baking tin or oven dish in the air fryer basket if you want to bake a cake or
quiche or if you want to fry fragile ingredients or lled ingredients
• You can also use the air fryer to reheat ingredients. To reheat ingredients, set the
temperature to 150°C for up to 10 minutes.

9. Troubleshooting
Problem Possible Solution
The air fryer does
not work
The appliance is not
plugged in. Put the mains plug in an earthed wall socket.
You have not set the timer. Set the timer key to the required preparation
time to switch on the appliance.
The ingredients
fried with the air
fryer are not done.
The amount of ingredients
in the basket is too big.
Put smaller batches of ingredients in the bas-
ket. Smaller batches are fried more evenly.
The set temperature is
too low.
Set the temperature key to the required
temperature setting (see section ‘settings’ in
chapter ‘Using the appliance’).
The preparation time is
too short.
Set the timer to the required preparation time
(see section ‘Settings’ in chapter’ Using the
appliance’).
The ingredients are
fried unevenly in the
air fryer.
Certain types of ingredi-
ents need to be shaken
halfway through the
preparation time.
Ingredients that lie on top of or across each
other (e.g. fries) need to be shaken halfway
through the preparation time. See section
‘Settings’ in chapter ‘Using the appliance’.
Fried snacks are not
crispy when they
come out of the air
fryer.
You used a type of snacks
meant to be prepared in a
traditional deep fryer.
Use oven snacks or lightly brush some oil onto
the snacks for a crispier result.
15

Problem Possible Solution
I cannot slide the
pot into the appli-
ance properly.
There are too much ingre-
dients in the basket.
Do not ll the basket beyond the MAX indica-
tion.
The basket is not placed in
the pot correctly.
Push the basket down into the pot until you
hear a click.
White smoke comes
out of the appli-
ance.
You are preparing greasy
ingredients.
When you fry greasy ingredients in the air fryer,
a large amount of oil will leak into the pot. The
oil produces white smoke and the pot may
heat up more than usual. This does not affect
the appliance or the end result.
The pot still contains
grease residues from
previous use.
White smoke is caused by grease heating up in
the pan. make sure you clean the pan properly
after each use.
Fresh fries are fried
unevenly in the air
fryer.
You did not use the right
potato type.
Use fresh potatoes and make sure they stay
rm during frying.
You did not rinse the po-
tato sticks properly before
you fried them.
Rinse the potato sticks properly to remove
starch from the outside of the sticks.
Fresh fries are not
crispy when they
come out of the air
fryer.
The crispiness of the fries
depends on the amount of
oil and water in the fries.
Make sure you dry the potato sticks properly
before you add the oil.
Cut the potato sticks smaller for a crispier
result.
Add slightly more oil for a crispier result.
10. Error code on the screen
Error Code Potential Issue Solution
E1 There is an open circuit in the
temperature monitor. Discontinue use and unplug the
appliance. Contact customer
service.
E2 There is a short circuit in the
temperature monitor.
