IMPORTANT: To avoid damaging your appliance, never exceed the maximum quantities of ingredients and
liquids indicated in the instruction manual and in the recipes.
When you use mixtures that rise (such as with cake, quiche or muffins) the oven dish should not
be filled more than halfway.
TIPS
• Smaller food usually requires a slightly shorter cooking time than larger size food.
• 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 using 1 tablespoon of oil.
• Snacks that can be cooked in an oven can also be cooked in the appliance.
• The optimal recommended quantity for cooking frozen fries is 500 grams 1.1 lbs.
• 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
175°C / 350°F for up to 15 minutes. Cooking time could be adjusted depending on food
quantity in order to well reheat the core of food.

MAKING HOME-MADE FRIES

For the best results, we advise to use frozen fries. If you want to make home-made fries, follow
the steps below.
1. Choose a variety of potato recommended for making fries. Peel the potatoes and cut them
into equal thickness fries.
2. Soak the potato fries in a bowl of 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 fries
must be thoroughly dry before cooking.
3. Pour 1 tablespoon of oil (vegetable, sunflower or olive) in a dry bowl, put the fries on top and
mix until they are coated with oil.
4. Remove the fries from the bowl with your fingers or a kitchen utensil so that any excess oil
stays behind in the bowl. Place the fries in the airfry basket.
Note: Do not tip the container of oil coated fries directly into the basket in one go,
otherwise excess oil will end up in the basket.
5. Fry the fries according to the instructions in the section Cooking guide.
