Notes
You may notice a slight burning smell or smoke when using the fryer for the first time, caused by the excess of lubricants from the manufacturing process. This does not affect the safety of the product.

OPERATION

  1. Place the appliance on a flat and stable surface.
  2. Connect the device.
  3. Remove the basket carefully from the device. Use the handle to do this. Make sure the rack is placed in the basket.
  4. Put the ingredients in the basket.


Do not fill the basket beyond the Max mark.

  1. Put the basket back in the device. The device has a safety system that will not allow you to use it if the basket is not in place.

  3. If at any point during cooking, you wish to pause the process, press the Start/Pause icon. If you wish to cancel the process, hold down the icon.

Note

  • Keep in mind that these are just indications. As ingredients differ in origin, size, shape and brand, we cannot guarantee the best setting for the ingredients that you are using.
  • Add approximately 1-2 minutes to the preparation time indicated in the chart if you start frying while the device is still cold.

Tips

  • Smaller ingredients require shorter preparation time than the larger ones.
  • A larger quantity of ingredients only requires a slightly longer preparation time, and a smaller quantity of ingredients only requires a slightly shorter preparation time.
  • Stirring small ingredients during the frying process optimises the result and can help preventing unevenly fried ingredients.
  • Add a little oil to the natural 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.
  • Pre-made dough requires a shorter preparation time than home-made dough.
  • You can also use the device to re-heat ingredients.

Temperature/time modification (4 and 7)
To change the temperature and time of the programmes, press the increase and decrease icons for each programme. The temperature is on the left side of the display and the time on the right side of the display.

Stirring food
Some ingredients may require sautéing during the frying process. To sauté the ingredients, pull the container out the appliance by the handle and shake it. Then put it back to the device.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Cleaning

  • Clean the device after every use.
  • Disconnect the appliance from the power supply and allow it to cool down before cleaning it.
  • Do not use metallic tools or abrasive products to clean the basket and rack.
  • Use a soft, damp cloth to clean the device surface.
  • Never immerse the appliance in water or other liquid.
  • Do not use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads to clean the product.

  • Remove the basket to let the device cool down more quickly.
  • Clean the device thoroughly with hot water, washing-up liquid and a non-abrasive sponge.
  • We recommend the use of a degreasing liquid to remove any remaining dirt.
  • If there is dirt stuck in the interior of the basket and the rack, we recommend filling the basket with hot water mixed with detergent, as this will make it easier to remove the dirt.
  • Clean the inside of the device with hot water and a non-abrasive sponge.
  • Both the basket and the rack are dishwasher safe. Remember that frequent use of the dishwasher causes the product to break more quickly.
  • Clean the heating element with a soft cleaning brush to remove any food residue. Be careful not to damage the heating element.

Storage

  • Unplug the device and let it cool down.
  • Make sure all its parts are clean and dry when you store it.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Problem Possible cause Solution
The air fryer does not work
The appliance is not plugged in. Put the mains plug in an earthed wall socket.
The basket is not placed in the device correctly Place the basket in its place
The ingredients fried with the air fryer are not done.
The amount of ingredients in the basket is too big. Place the smaller ingredients in the basket, or select a higher time/temperature
The temperature used is too low. Increase the temperature (See the 'Operation' section).
The ingredients are fried unevenly in the air fryer.
(Fried snacks are not crispy when they are removed from the air fryer).
The preparation time is too short. Set the timer to the desired cooking time
Some types of food need to be stirred during the frying process. Ingredients that lie on top of or across each other (e.g. fries) need to be shaken halfway through the preparation time.
You used a type of food that is meant to be prepared in a traditional deep fryer. Oil the food a little bit to get a crispier result
The basket does not slide into the device properly. There are too many ingredients in the basket. Do not fill the basket beyond the max. indication.
The basket is not placed correctly Push the basket down into the appliance until you hear a click.
White smoke comes out of the appliance.
You are preparing greasy ingredients. When fatty ingredients are cooked with the air fryer, they produce a small amount of oil which can cause white smoke. This does not affect the appliance or the result.
The pan still contains grease residues from previous use. White smoke is caused by grease heating up in the device. Make sure you clean the device properly after each use.
Fresh fries are fried unevenly in the air fryer. You did not rinse the potato sticks properly before you fried them. Rinse the potato sticks properly to remove the starch.
Fresh fries are not crispy when they come out of the air fryer.
The right kind of potato is not being used. Make sure you dry the potato sticks properly before adding the oil.
Cut the potato sticks on smaller pieces for crispier results.
