Solution
Put the mains plug in an earthed wall socket.
Set the timer key to the required preparation time
to switch on the appliance.
Put smaller batches of ingredients in the pot.
Smaller batches are fried more evenly.
Set the temperature key to the required
temperature setting (see section 'settings' in
chapter 'Using the appliance').
Set the timer to the required preparation time
(see section 'Settings' in chapter' Using the
appliance').
Ingredients that lie on top of or across each other
(e.g. fries) need to be shaken halfway through the
preparation time. See section 'Settings' in
chapter 'Using the appliance'.
Use oven snacks or lightly brush some oil onto
the snacks for a crispier result.
Do not fill the pot beyond the MAX indication.
Push the pot down into the pot until you hear a
click.
When you fry greasy ingredients in the air fryer, a
large amount of oil will leak into the pot. The oil
produces white smoke and the pot may heat up
more than usual. This does not affect the
appliance or the end result.
White smoke is caused by grease heating up in
the pot. make sure you clean the pot properly
after each use.
Use fresh potatoes and make sure they stay
firm during frying.
Rinse the potato sticks properly to remove
starch from the outside of the sticks.
Make sure you dry the potato sticks properly
before you add the oil.
Cut the potato sticks smaller for a crispier
result.
Add slightly more oil for a crispier result.
