Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.
Unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow to cool before putting on or taking off parts.
Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug or after the appliance malfunctions, or has been damaged in any manner. Return appliance to the nearest authorized service facility for examination, repair or adjustment.

Do not use appliance for other than intended use.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY.
Only connect the appliance to electrical sockets which have a minimum load of 15A. If the sockets and the plug on the appliance should prove incompatible, get a professionally qualified technician to replace the socket with a more suitable one.

TIPS

Smaller foods usually require a slightly shorter cooking time than larger size foods.
A larger amount of food only requires a slightly longer cooking time, a smaller amount of food only requires a slightly shorter cooking time.

Shaking smaller size foods halfway through the cooking time improves the end result and can help prevent uneven cooking.
Add some oil to fresh potatoes for a crispy result. After adding a spoon of oil, fry the potatoes within a few minutes.
Do not cook extremely greasy foods in the appliance.
Snacks that can be cooked in an oven can also be cooked in the appliance.
The optimal recommended quantity for cooking fries is 700 grams.
Use ready made puff and shortcrust pastry to make filled snacks quickly and easily.
Place an oven dish in the appliance's bowl if you want to bake a cake or quiche or if you want to fry fragile ingredients or filled ingredients. You can use an oven dish in silicon, stainless steel, aluminium, terracotta.
You can also use the appliance to reheat food. To reheat food, set the temperature to 160°C for up to 10 minutes.

MAKING HOME-MADE CHIPS

For the best results, we advise to use frozen chips. If you want to make home-made chips, follow the steps below.

Choose a variety of potato recommended for making chips. Peel the potatoes and cut them into equal thickness chips.
Soak the potato chips in a bowl of cold water for at least 30 minutes, drain them and dry them with a clean, highly absorbent tea towel. Then pat with paper kitchen towel. The chips must be thoroughly dry before cooking.
Pour 1 tablespoon of oil (vegetable, sunflower or olive) in a dry bowl, put the chips on top and mix until they are coated with oil.
Remove the chips from the bowl with your fingers or a kitchen utensil so that any excess oil stays behind in the bowl. Place the chips in the bowl.
Note: Do not tip the container of oil coated chips directly into the bowl in one go, otherwise excess oil will end up at the bottom of the bowl.
Fry the chips according to the instructions in the section Cooking guide.
