PURPOSE OF USE

This air fryer is intended for standard household use only. It is used for preparing fried and non-fried meals without any added oil or with a small amount of oil. It is suitable for preparing foods such as pre-fried or homemade French fries, potatoes, schnitzels, chicken thighs, fish pieces and fish fingers, vegetables and much more. The fryer can also be used as a mini oven for baking cookies, cupcakes, muffins, etc.

The fryer functions on the basis of circulation of hot air. The meal is evenly cooked, has that freshly fried taste and is far healthier. Compared to foods fried in oil, it also has far less calories and cholesterol.
This air fryer is not intended for heating water, frying oil or other liquids.

BEFORE FIRST USE

Before first use, wash the air frying basket and the removable grate in warm water using a neutral kitchen detergent. Then rinse these parts with clean water and allow them to dry naturally or dry them out their using a wiping cloth

Wipe the external and internal surface of the air fryer using sponge lightly dipped in warm water. Then wipe it dry using a clean wiping cloth.
Warning:
Never submerge the air fryer in water, do not clean it under running water or wash it in a dishwasher.
Only clean the power cord of the air fryer using dry wiping cloth, never wash it with water.

OPERATING LOCATION

Position the fryer on a stable, horizontal, heat resistant surface.
Always position it in a way that children cannot reach it. After inserting the frying basket into the air fryer, always orient the air fryer so that nobody can accidentally hit the basket handle and thereby knock the air fryer over.
Attention:
- Do not place the fryer on or in the vicinity of flammable materials, for example table cloths or near drapes. Also do not place it in the vicinity of objects or under objects, which may be damaged by steam, for example walls and cupboards.
- Do not place any items directly next to the fryer.
- This could impair the air current and affect the frying results.
- If you wish to place the air fryer on a cooktop underneath a range hood, ensure that the cooktop is turned off and cool.

COOKING FOOD

Practically every meal that is traditionally baked in an oven, can be fried using hot air.

The best and most even frying results are achieved when the food pieces are of a similar size and thickness. Therefore, cut the food into pieces of the same size. Smaller food pieces require a shorter frying time than larger pieces.
To achieve the best possible result in the shortest possible time, fry the food in small batches, If possible, avoid stacking and layering the food.
Most packaged foods do not need to be placed in oil prior to air frying.

Most of them already contain oil and other additives, which improve browning and crispiness.
This air fryer is excellent for frying frozen treats and starters. To achieve the best results, arrange the food pieces in a single layer on the grate.
Remove excess ice from frozen foods.

When layering the food, it is appropriate to shake it or turn food over during air frying to ensure even frying results.
Pour a small amount of oil over foods that are prepared by peeling, for example French fries, etc. as this will help in their browning and crispiness.
When air frying fresh vegetables, ensure that they are thoroughly dry prior to air frying them.

When air frying foods coated in batter, use a dough with a thick and pasty consistency. Light batters may drip off and will not be fried sufficiently quickly as is the case with a standard oil deep fryer.
Coating food coated in batter with breadcrumbs or puffed rice and subsequently spraying it with oil will help to achieve a crispy and healthier form of your favourite fried foods.

INSERTING FOOD

Pull on the handle to slide out the fryer basket. Insert the removable grate into the frying basket so that it is in a horizontal position. There must be a small gap between the bottom of the frying basket and the grate.

Place the food that you wish to process by heat into the basket. When inserting it, do not exceed the MAX mark.
Warning:
This fryer functions on the basis of hot air. Therefore, never fill it with oil, shortening or any other liquid.
Also, do not place backing parchment paper into it.
If you wish to add a little oil to your food, mix in the oil in a separate bowl and only then tip it into the frying basket.

After filling, clean the top edge of the basket and any other parts, which have been soiled while the frying basket was being filled.
Insert the frying basket back into the fryer. If you do not insert it properly, it will not be possible to start the fryer.

TROUBLESHOOTING

If the appliance does not work as described in this user’s manual, check the list of most frequent problems below in order to remedy the problem. In the event that your problem is not listed or if the problem persists, turn off the appliance, pull the power plug out of the power socket and contact an authorised service centre. Under no circumstances should you attempt to repair the appliance yourself.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Warning:
Prior to cleaning or maintenance, always disconnect the air fryer from the power socket and allow all parts to cool down completely.
To clean the the air fryer, its insides and all the accessories, never use chemicals, dishwashing abrasive wool, steel wool or cleaning products with abrasive components. Otherwise the surface of the appliance may be damaged.

Attention:
The air fryer and its power cord are not intended for washing in a dishwasher.
Do not spray these parts with water or any other liquid or submerge them in water or any another liquid.

Disconnect the air fryer from the power socket and allow it to cool down. The air fryer will cool down faster when the frying basket is taken out.

We recommend cleaning the air fryer immediately after it cools down to prevent food scraps from drying on. These are harder to remove later. Using a paper towel, remove any food scraps from the accessories and the internal area of the fryer.
Remove the grate out of the frying basket. Wash both using a soft dishwashing sponge under running water with the addition of neutral dishwashing detergent. Then rinse these parts under clean water, dry thoroughly, and put them back in their place. These parts can also be washed in a dishwasher.
If you are unsuccessful in removing baked on food remains, which are stuck on the surface of the basket, then fill the basket with warm water with an addition of neutral dishwashing detergent and put the grate into it. Allow the water and detergent solution to act for approximately 10 minutes in order to soak the food remains.. Then clean both parts in the usual manner.

Ensure that baked on food remains do not accumulate on the removable basket and on the grate. Prior to further use, both parts must be clean.
Wipe the external and internal surface of the air fryer using sponge lightly dipped in warm water. Then wipe it dry using a clean wiping cloth.
Only clean the power cord of the air fryer using dry wiping cloth, never wash it with water.

STORAGE

When you have finished using the appliance and have cleaned it, place it and its accessories in a clean, dry place out of children’s reach.
