Your new air fryer allows you to prepare your favorite ingredients and snacks in a healthier way. The air fryer uses hot air in combination with high-speed air circulation (rapid hot air) and a top grill to prepare a variety of tasty dishes in a healthy, fast and easy way. Your ingredients are heated from all sides at once and there is no need to add oil to most of the ingredients.
This appliance has a built-in overheating protection system; if the inner temperature control system senses an extreme overheating condition, the overheating protection is automatically triggered and the appliance will no longer function. Unplug the power cord, let the appliance cool down, and then send it to an authorized service center for repair.
This appliance is equipped with a timer. When the timer has counted down to 0, the appliance produces a bell sound and switches off automatically. To switch off the appliance manually, turn the timer knob counterclockwise until it reaches 0.
Note: If the pan is removed during cooking, the appliance will switch off automatically but the timer will continue to count down.
This appliance complies with all standards regarding electromagnetic fi elds (EMF). If handled properly and according to the instructions in this user manual, the appliance is safe to use based on scientifi c evidence available today.
Power Source | 120V/60Hz |
Output | 1500 watts |
Capacity | 4.0 liters/4.2 qt. |
Weight | 10 lbs. 7 oz. |
The air fryer can prepare a large range of ingredients. Please refer to the table in the section "Settings" for recommended cooking temperatures, times and additional information about air frying.
Do not press the button on the handle during shaking as this will cause the basket to separate from the pan.
Tip: To reduce the weight, you can remove the basket from the pan and shake the basket only. To do so, pull the pan out of the appliance, place it on a heat-resistant surface and press the button on the handle to release the basket.
Tip: If you set the timer to half the preparation time, the timer bell will go off when you have to shake the ingredients. However, this means that you have to set the timer again to the remaining preparation time after shaking.
Tip: If you set the timer to full preparation time, there will be no timer bell halfway through cooking. You will need to monitor the cooking process to determine the halfway point for shaking the pan. You can pull the pan out at any time to check the ingredients cooking condition, the power will shut down automatically and resume after you slide the pan back into the appliance (the timer always continues to count down in this situation).
Settings
The table below provides recommendations for the basic settings for the ingredients you want to prepare.
Note: Keep in mind that these settings are suggestions. As ingredients differ in origin, size, shape as well as brand, we cannot guarantee the best setting for your ingredients.
Because the rapid hot air technology instantly reheats the air inside the appliance, pulling the pan briefl y out of the appliance during hot air frying barely disturbs the process.

Clean the appliance after every use.
Always allow the Air Fryer to cool down before cleaning.
Do not use metal utensils to remove or stir ingredients in the basket or abrasive cleaning materials on the pan or the basket as this may damage the non-stick coating.
Problem | Possible cause | Solution |
The air fryer does not work | The appliance is not plugged in. | Plug the appliance into a grounded electrical socket. |
You have not set the timer. | Turn the timer knob to the required cooking time to switch on the appliance. | |
The pan is not put into the appliance properly. | Slide the pan into the appliance properly. | |
The ingredients fried with the air fryer are not done. | The basket is too full. | Put smaller batches of ingredients in the basket. Smaller batches fry faster and more evenly. |
The temperature is set too low. | Turn the temperature control knob to the required temperature setting (see section "Settings" in the chapter 'Using the appliance'). | |
The cooking time is too short. | Turn the timer knob to the required cooking time (see section "Settings" in the chapter' Using the appliance'). | |
The ingredients are fried unevenly in the air fryer. | Certain types of ingredients need to be shaken halfway through the cooking process. | 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 the chapter 'Using the appliance'. |
Fried snacks are not crispy when they come out of the air fryer. | You used a type of snack meant to be prepared in a traditional deep fryer. | Use oven snacks or lightly brush some oil onto the snacks for a crispier result. |
I cannot slide the pan into the appliance properly. | There are too many ingredients in the basket. | Do not fi ll the basket beyond full, refer to the table in the "Setting" section. |
The basket is not placed in the pan correctly. | Push the basket down into the pan until you hear a click. | |
White smoke comes out of the appliance. | You are preparing greasy ingredients. | When you fry greasy ingredients in the air fryer, a large amount of oil will leak into the pan. The oil produces white smoke and the pan may heat up more than usual. This does not affect the appliance or the end result. |
The pan 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 type of potato. | Use fresh potatoes and make sure they stay fi rm during frying. |
You did not rinse the potato 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 friesdepends on the amount of oil and water in the fries. | Make sure you dry the potato sticks properly before you add the oil. |
