Tips
To reduce the weight, remove the basket from the container and shake the basket only. To do so, pull the container out of the appliance, place it on a heat-resistant surface and press the button of the handle. Lift the basket out of the container.
When the timer buzzer is heard, pull the container out of the appliance. If you want to turn the device off before the set time has elapsed, turn the set time to 1 minute or hold down the power button for 3 seconds. Off will appear on the control panel.
Check if ingredients are ready.
If the ingredients are not ready yet, simply slide the container back into the appliance and set the timer to a few extra minutes.
To remove ingredients, pull the container out of the device, place it on a heatproof surface.
Press the basket release button and lift the basket out of the container.
Empty the basket into a bowl or onto a plate.
When a batch of ingredients is ready, the device is instantly ready for preparing another batch.

Never use the container without the basket in it.
Do not touch the container during and immediately after use, as it gets very hot. Only hold the container by the handle.
Do not turn the basket upside down with the container still attached to it, as any excess oil that has collected on the bottom of the container will leak onto the ingredients.
The container and the ingredients are hot. Depending on the type of the ingredients in the air fryer, steam may escape from the pot.

Tips

Smaller ingredients require shorter preparation time than the larger ones.
A larger amount of ingredients only requires a slightly longer preparation time, and a smaller amount of ingredients only requires a slightly shorter preparation time.
Shaking small ingredients during the frying process optimises the result and can help preventing unevenly fried ingredients.
Add some oil to the fresh potatoes for a crispier result.
Do not use the device to fry greasy food (such as sausages).
Food that can be cooked in an oven can also be cooked with the device.
The optimal amount for preparing crispy fries is 500 grams.
Pre-made dough requires a shorter preparation time than home-made dough.
You can also use the device to re-heat ingredients. To do so, set the temperature to 150 ºC for 10 minutes.
