Remove the basket from the air fryer with extreme care. (Fig 3).
Put the ingredients in the basket.
Note: never exceed the MAX mark on the basket or the quantity indicated in the table (see "Settings" in this section) to avoid affecting the final result.
Tip: to ensure perfect results, it is recommended that you avoid overcrowding the basket with food, as it will not cook evenly.
Put the basket back in the air fryer. (Fig. 4) Never use the air fryer without the basket inside.

Make sure the food is cooked.
If the food isn't cooked enough, slide the basket drawer back into the air fryer and add a few more minutes to the timer.
To remove food, e.g., French fries, remove the basket drawer from the air fryer and place it on a heat-resistant surface. Use tongs to remove the ingredients. Be careful not to burn yourself. Do not place the basket upside down to remove the food.
Do not turn the basket drawer upside down with the basket in it, otherwise excess oil accumulated in the bottom of the basket drawer may spill onto the food.

Note
This information is indicative, as ingredients differ in origin, size, shape, and brand, and we cannot guarantee the best setting for the ingredients that you are using.
To improve the end result of the food, add 3 minutes to the cooking process when you start cooking while the fryer is cold to preheat the basket.

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.
Shaking smaller food midway through the cooking process optimises the end result and prevents uneven cooking.
Add some oil to the fresh potatoes for a crispier result. Cook the food in the air fryer just after adding oil to it.
Do not cook excessively fatty foods in the air fryer (e.g., sausages).
Oven-ready snacks can also be cooked in the air fryer.
The optimal amount for preparing crispy fries is 500 grams.
Pre-made dough requires a shorter preparation time. Pre-made dough requires a shorter preparation time than home-made dough.
Place a baking pan or baking dish in the air-fryer's basket if you want to bake a cake or quiche or if you want to fry fragile or stuffed foods.
You can also use the device to reheat food. To reheat food, set the temperature to 150°C for 10 minutes.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Cleaning

Clean the appliance after every use.
The basket and rack have a non-stick coating. Do not use metal utensils or abrasive products to clean the basket or rack, as this may damage their non-stick surface.

Unplug the appliance and allow it to cool down before cleaning.
Note: remove the basket to let the appliance cool down more quickly.
Clean the interior and the exterior of the device with a damp cloth.
Clean the basket and rack thoroughly with hot water, washing-up liquid, and a non-abrasive sponge.

Tip: if there is dirt stuck inside the basket and rack, we recommend filling up the basket drawer with hot water mixed with liquid detergent. Place the rack in the basket and leave to soak for about 10 minutes.
Clean the inside of the appliance with hot water and a non-abrasive sponge.
Clean the heating element with a soft brush to remove any food residue.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Problem	Possible causes	Possible solution
The air fryer does not work	The appliance is not plugged in.	Connect the mains plug to an earthed wall socket.
The ingredients fried with the air fryer are not done.	The amount of ingredients in the basket is too big.	Put smaller batches of food in the basket. Smaller batches are cooked more evenly.
	The temperature used is too low.	Increase the cooking temperature (see the "Operation" section).
	The preparation time is too short.	Increase the cooking time (see the "Operation" section).
The ingredients are fried unevenly in the air fryer	Some types of food need to be shaken during 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 "Operation".
Snacks are not crispy when they come out the device.	You used a type of food that is meant to be prepared in a traditional deep fryer.	Cook oven snacks or oil the food a little bit to get a crispier result.
The basket drawer 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 in the basket drawer correctly.	Push the basket down into the basket drawer 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 basket drawer. Oil produces white smoke. This does not affect the device or the result.
White smoke comes out of the appliance	The basket drawer has some leftover grease.	White smoke is caused by grease heating up in the basket drawer. Make sure you clean the device properly after each use.
Fresh fries are fried unevenly in the air fryer	You did not use the right potato type.	Use fresh potatoes and make sure they stay firm during frying. Use potatoes of the types suggested.
Fresh fries are fried unevenly in the air fryer	You did not rinse the potato sticks properly before you fried them.	Rinse the potatoes well in water for 3 minutes to remove the starch and dry thoroughly afterwards.
