TIPS
• Smaller food will require a slightly shorter cooking time than larger size food. If you are
unsure, you can open the bowl at any point of cooking to check progress.
• Shaking food halfway through the cooking time improves the end result and can help
prevent uneven cooking.
• To make your potatoes extra crispy, try adding a small amount of oil before cooking and
shake to evenly cover. We recommend 14 ml of oil.
• Snacks that can be cooked in an oven can also be cooked in the appliance.
• The optimal recommended quantity for cooking fries is 400 grams.
• Use ready made puff and shortcrust pastry to make filled snacks quickly and easily.
• Place an oven dish in the appliance's bowl if you want to bake a cake or quiche or if you
want to fry delicate ingredients or filled ingredients. You can use an oven dish in silicon,
stainless steel, aluminium, terracotta.
• You can also use the appliance to reheat food. To reheat food, set the temperature to
160°C for up to 10 minutes. Cooking time could be adjusted depending on food quantity in
order to fully reheat the food.
MAKING HOME-MADE CHIPS
If you want to make home-made chips, follow the steps below.
1. Choose a variety of potato recommended for making chips. Peel the potatoes and cut them
into equal thickness chips.
2. Soak the potato chips in cold water for at least 30 minutes, drain them and dry them with
a clean, highly absorbent tea towel. Then pat with paper kitchen towel. The chips must be
thoroughly dry before cooking.
3. Pour 1 tablespoon of oil (vegetable, sunflower or olive) in a dry bowl, put the chips on top
and mix until they are coated with oil.
4. Remove the chips from the bowl with your fingers or a kitchen utensil so that any excess oil
stays behind in the bowl. Place the chips in the bowl.
Note: Do not tip the container of oil coated chips directly into the bowl in one go,
otherwise excess oil will end up at the bottom of the bowl.
5. Fry the chips according to the instructions in the section Cooking guide.
CLEANING
Clean the appliance after every use.
The bowl and the grid have a non-stick coating. Do not use metal kitchen utensils or
abrasive cleaning materials to clean them, as this may damage the nonstick coating.
1. Remove the mains plug from the wall socket and let the appliance cool down. Note: Remove
the bowl to let the appliance cool down more quickly.
2. Wipe the outside of the appliance with a damp cloth.
3. Clean the bowl and grid with hot water, some washing-up liquid and a non-abrasive sponge.
You can use a degreasing liquid to remove any remaining dirt.
Note: the bowl and the grid are dishwasher safe.
Tip: If food debris/residue is stuck at the bottom of the bowl and the grid, fill them with hot
water and some washing-up liquid. Let the bowl and the grid soak for approximately 10
minutes. Then rinse clean and dry.
