desired temperature. Turn the button to 3 minutes and wait until
the control light –HEAT switches off. Then continue
from point 4 as described above.
12. Some ingredients require shaking through
the baking process. To shake the food,
take the handle, pull the drawer out
of the appliance and shake. Then replace
the drawer into the appliance.
NOTE: do not press the release button
on the while shaking.
TIP: to minimize the weight, you can
remove the basket out of the drawer and
only shake the basket. To do so, remove
drawer with basket from the appliance,
place on a heat resistant surface, and
press the release button to release the
basket.
NOTE: The control light –HEAT will go

These settings are merely indicative. Since each ingredient may
differ from brand to brand, but also from size, shape, and content,
it is possible that the indicated settings don’t always entirely
correspond.
TIPS:
Smaller ingredients often require a shorter baking time
than larger ingredients.
Shaking small ingredients during the baking process
might improve the final result. (See OPERATING THE
APPLIANCE)
Add a little bit of oil on fresh potatoes for crispier result.
Add the oil before putting the ingredients in the basket.
Bake the ingredients within a few minutes after adding

Homemade fries
For the best result we advise to use prebaked fries (e.g. frozen
fries). If you want to make homemade fries, follow steps below:
1. Peel the potatoes and cut them into fries.
2. Soak the fries in a bowl of water for at least 30 minutes,
take them out and dry them properly with some paper
towel.
3. Pour ½ spoon of oil in a bowl, add the fries and mix
carefully until all fries are equally covered with oil.
4. Remove the fries from the bowl with our hands or a kitchen
utensil so redundant oil stays behind in the bowl. Put the
fries in the basket.
NOTE: don’t pour the fries from the bowl into the
basket to avoid redundant from ending up in the
drawer.
5. Bake the fries as mentioned earlier.
NOTE: Add 3 minutes to the baking time if the appliance is cold.
NOTE:
*Check if the ingredients are suited for preparation in the oven.
** See USE –point 12
