Using the appliance
This is an air fryer that works on hot air. Do not fill the fry basket with oil or frying fat.
1 Place the appliance on a stable, horizontal, level and heat-resistant surface.
Note: Do not put anything on top or on the sides of the appliance. This could disrupt the airflow and
influence the frying result.
Caution: Do not place the appliance on non-heat-resistant surfaces.
2 Put the plug in the wall socket.
3 Remove the lid of the air fryer.
4 Remove the fry basket.
5 Place the lid onto the appliance.
6 Turn the temperature knob to the required temperature (90-230 degree).
Note: It is suggested to turn the knob back to MIN position when switch off..
7 Turn the power-on knob to the required preparation time.
Note: Add 3 minutes to the preparation time when the appliance is cold.
Note: The timer starts to count down to the set preparation time.
8 Put the ingredients in the fry basket.
Note: The air fryer can prepare a large range of ingredients. Refer to the food table (see 'Food table')
for the right quantities and preparation times.
Note: Do not overfill the fry basket or exceed the amount indicated in the food table (see 'Food
table'), as this could affect the quality of the end result.
Note: If you want to prepare different ingredients at the same time, make sure you check the
preparation time required for the different ingredients before you start to prepare them
simultaneously. Home-made fries and drumsticks, for example, can be prepared simultaneously
because they require the same settings.
9 After preheating, remove the lid and place the fry basket with ingredients in the air fryer.
10 Place the lid back onto the appliance.

11 The timer continues to count down the set preparation time.
Note: Some ingredients require shaking or turning halfway through the preparation time (see 'Food
table'). To shake the ingredients, remove the lid, take the fry basket out of the appliance by the
handle and shake it over the sink. Then put the fry basket back into the appliance and place the lid
back onto the appliance.
Note: Excess oil from the ingredients is collected on the bottom of the fry basket.
Tip: If you set the timer to half the preparation time, you hear the timer bell when you have to shake
or turn the ingredients. However, this means that you have to set the timer again to the remaining
preparation time after shaking or turning.
12 When you hear the timer bell, the set preparation time has elapsed.
Note: If you prepare several batches of fatty ingredients (e.g. drumsticks, sausages or hamburgers)
make sure you remove excess oil with a kitchen paper towel from the fry basket after each batch.
Be careful as the fry basket gets very hot during use.
Note: You can also switch off the appliance manually. To do this, turn the power-on knob to 0.
13 Open the lid and take the fry basket out of the appliance and place it on a heat-resistant surface.
14 Check if the ingredients are ready.
If the ingredients are not ready yet, simply put the fry basket back into the appliance and set the
timer to a few extra minutes.
After hot air frying, the container, the fry basket, the housing and the ingredients are hot. Depending
on the type of ingredients in the fry basket, steam may escape from it.
15 Empty the fry basket into a bowl or onto a plate.
Tip: To remove large or fragile ingredients, use a pair of tongs to lift the ingredients out of the fry
basket.
When a batch of ingredients is ready, the air fryer is instantly ready for preparing another batch.
Making home-made fries
If you want to make good home-made fries in the air fryer, pay attention to the following:
- Choose a potato variety suitable for making fries.
- It is best to bake the fries in portions of up to 500 grams for an even result. Larger fries tend to
become less crispy than smaller fries.
- Shake the fry basket 2-3 times during the air frying process.
1 Peel the potatoes and cut them into sticks.
2 Soak the potato sticks in a bowl for at least 30 minutes.
3 Empty the bowl and dry the potato sticks with kitchen paper.
4 Pour a half tablespoon of olive oil in the bowl, put the sticks in the bowl and mix until the sticks are
coated with oil.
5 Remove the sticks from the bowl with your fingers or a kitchen utensil so that excess oil stays
behind in the bowl.
Note: Do not tilt the bowl to put all the sticks in the fry basket in one go, to prevent excess oil from
ending up on the bottom of the fry basket.

6 Put the sticks in the fry basket.
7 Fry the potato sticks and shake the fry basket halfway through the air frying process. Shake 2-3
times if you prepare more than 400g of fries.
Note: Add 3 minutes to the preparation time if you start frying while the appliance is still cold.
Note: You can also use pre-baked frozen or chilled fries from the supermarket.
Note: Consult the food table for the right quantities and preparation times (see 'Food table').
Tips
- A smaller amount of food requires a slightly shorter preparation time, a larger amount of food
needs a slightly longer preparation time.
- It is recommended not to fill the fry basket of the air fryer beyond ¾ of its capacity. The maximum
amount of ingredients that can be prepared depends on the kind of food you want to prepare (see
'Food table').
- It is suggested to wait some minutes to cool down the machine when you need to start another
cooking after the 1st cooking. Keep heating not more than 1 hour.
- If you use oven-ready snacks, do not add oil because they are usually pre-fried and become
golden brown and crispy when prepared in the air fryer.
- If you use oven-ready snacks and they do not become crispy and stay pale, please check the
following:
- The amount of ingredients: Put smaller batches of ingredients in the fry basket. Cover the bottom
of the fry basket with just one layer. Smaller batches are fried more evenly.
- The preparation time: If you have not preheated the appliance before you put in the snacks, make
sure you add 3 minutes extra to the preparation time when you set the timer.
- Most snacks need the preparation time indicated for the oven to become fully cooked. Preparation
times for the deep-fat fryer are shorter and will not lead to well-cooked ingredients. Most snacks
need between 10 and 15 minutes to cook.
- If your croquettes or snacks burst when you prepare them in the air fryer, choose a shorter
preparation time.
Cleaning
Warning: Let the fry basket, the container and the inside of the appliance cool down completely
before you start cleaning. Do not use metal kitchen utensils or abrasive cleaning materials to
clean them.
Clean the appliance after every use. Remove oil and fat from the bottom of the container after every
use to prevent smoke.
1 Turn power-on knob to 0, remove the plug from the wall socket and let the appliance cool down for
10 minutes.
Tip: Remove the lid and the container to let the air fryer cool down more quickly.
2 Wipe the lid and the outside of the appliance with a moist cloth.

3 Clean the fry basket and container with hot water, some washing-up liquid and a non-abrasive
sponge.
Note: The fry basket and container are dishwasher-proof.
Tip: If food residues are stuck to the fry basket or container, you can soak them in hot water with
washing-up liquid for 10 to 15 minutes. Soaking will loosen the food residues and will make it easier
to remove them. The quality of your washing-up liquid determines how easy it is to remove food
residues and grease. Make sure you use a washing-up liquid that can dissolve oil and grease. If
there are grease stains on the fry basket or container and you have not been able to remove them
with hot water and washing-up liquid, use a liquid degreaser.
Tip: You can use a degreasing liquid to remove any remaining dirt.
4 Clean the inside of the appliance with hot water and a non-abrasive sponge.
Any other servicing should be performed by an authorized service representative.
Storage
1 Unplug the appliance and let it cool down.
2 Make sure all parts are clean and dry before you store the appliance. (see 'Cleaning ')
Troubleshooting
This chapter summarizes the most common problems you could encounter with the appliance.
Problem
Possible cause
Solution
The outside of the
appliance
becomes hot
during use.
The outside of the
appliance becomes hot
because the heat inside
radiates to the outside
walls.
This is normal. All handles, knobs and buttons
that you need to touch during use will stay cool
enough to
touch.


The fry basket, container and the inside of the
lid will always become hot when the appliance is
switched on to ensure the food is properly
cooked. The fry basket and container are
always too hot to touch.


If you leave the appliance switched on for a
longer time, some areas will get too hot to
touch. These areas are marked on the
appliance with the following icon:
As long as you are aware of the hot areas and
avoid touching them, the appliance is
completely safe to use.

My homemade
fries do not turn
out as I expected.
You did not use the right
potato type.
Follow the instructions in this user manual to
prepare home-made fries (see 'Making
home-made fries').

The amount of
ingredients in the fry
basket is too big.
Follow the instructions in this user manual to
prepare home-made fries (see 'Making
home-made fries').

Certain types of
ingredients need to be
shaken halfway through
the cooking time.
Follow the instructions in this user manual to
prepare home-made fries (see 'Making
home-made fries').
The air fryer does
not switch on.
The appliance is not
plugged in.
When you switch on the appliance, you hear the
sound of the working fan. If you do not hear this
sound, check if the plug is inserted in the wall
socket properly.

You have set the timer to
a shorter time than 5
minutes.
Set the timer to a time of 5 minutes or more.I33

Several appliances are
connected to one socket.
Try a different socket and check the fuses. The
air fryer has a power of 1200W.
I see some
damaged spots
inside my
appliance. Is it
dangerous?
Some small spots may
appear inside the
container of the appliance
due to the coating being
touched or scratched
(e.g. when you put the fry
basket or during
cleaning).
This will not happen if you lower the fry basket
into the container properly. If you put the fry
basket at an angle, its side may knock against
the wall of the container, causing small pieces of
coating to chip off. These spots are not harmful,
as the materials used are food-safe.
The lid is full
with water and
the metal area
is discolored.
You cleaned the lid in the
dishwasher.
The lid is not dishwasher-proof. Clean the lid by
hand with some washing-up liquid and a moist
cloth. If there is some water inside the lid, try to
shake the water out of it. The remaining water in
the lid will evaporate during cooking.

When I remove
the lid of the
appliance during
hot air frying,
some crumbs fly
out towards me.
You are preparing
breadcrumbed food
If you prepare breadcrumbed food, switch off
the appliance before you open the lid.
If you need to shake or turn breadcrumbed food
during cooking, set the timer to half of the
cooking time (or to the time after which you want
to shake or turn the food). Wait until you hear
the timer bell and the appliance to switch off
before you remove the lid.
After shaking or turning, set the timer to the
remaining cooking time.
Tip: Shake the fry basket over the sink to avoid
breadcrumbs landing in the appliance.
