Air Frying:

1. Connect the mains plug into an earthed wall socket.
2. Carefully pull the pan out of the air fryer.
3. Put the ingredients in the basket.
   Tip: If you have a separator (NOT SUPPLIED) to separate items, you will be able to prepare different ingredients at the same time. Place the separator in the basket and fill up each side of the basket with the ingredients. Make sure you check the preparation time and the temperature required for the different ingredients before you start to prepare them. Potato cubes and schnitzel, for example, can be prepared simultaneously because they require the same settings. Please note that the maximum amount for each of the ingredients is half the normal amount.
4. Slide the pan back into the air fryer, making sure to carefully align with the guides in the body of the fryer.
5. Never use the pan without the basket in it.
   
   Do not touch the pan immediately after use, as it gets very hot. Allow plenty of time to for it too cool. Only hold the pan by the handle.
6. Determine the required preparation time for each ingredient (refer to the 'Settings' section below for instructions on how to do this.)
7. Adjust the temperature control dial to the required setting. Refer to the 'Settings' and 'Control Panel' sections in this manual for instructions on how to determine the right temperature. Add 3 minutes to the preparation time when the appliance is cold.
8. Excess oil from the ingredients is collected on the bottom of the pan.

Settings:
The table on the next page will help you select the basic settings for each ingredient.

Note: Keep in mind that these settings are indications, as ingredients differ in origin, size, shape and brand, we cannot guarantee the best settings for your ingredients. Because the rapid air technology instantly reheats the air inside the appliance, pulling the pan briefly out of the appliance during hot air frying barely disturbs the process.

Tips:

• The preparation time will depend on the size of your ingredients. Smaller sizes may require a shorter cooking time.
• Shaking ingredients halfway during the cooking time will improve 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.
• Be cautious of using extremely greasy ingredients such as sausages in the air fryer.
• Snacks that can be prepared in an oven can also be prepared in the hot-air fryer
• The recommended amount for preparing crispy fries is 500g

Note: This air fryer uses hot air heating technology. Never pour oil or fat into the fryer.

Tips:

• Try soaking your raw cut fries in cold water for 30 minutes and then dry well before putting in the air fryer.
• Be careful not to overfill the basket with food.
• For a great, even brown crisp, toss your fries multiple times during cooking.
• Remove your fries quickly once the cooking process is complete to ensure they stay crispy.
• Thinly slice and separate onions.
• Cut all vegetables into small pieces to make sure they cook properly.
• The air fryer can also be used to reheat ingredients. To reheat, set the temperature to 150°C for up to 10 minutes.
