TIPS
1. Smaller ingredients usually require a slightly shorter preparation time than larger ingredients.
2. A larger quantity of ingredients only requires a slightly longer preparation time than smaller
quantities.
3. Shaking smaller ingredients halfway through the preparation time optimises the end result and
can help to prevent unevenly-fried food.
4. Apply some oil to fresh potatoes for a crispy result. Fry your ingredients in the air fryer within a
few minutes of adding the oil.
5. Do not prepare extremely greasy ingredients such as sausages in the air fryer.
6. You can also use the air fryer to reheat ingredients. To do this, set the device to 300 °F for up to
10 minutes.
CAUTION:
1. Do not immerse the housing in water or rinse it under the tap.
2. Avoid any liquid entering the appliance to prevent from electric shock or short circuit.
3. Keep all ingredients in the pan to prevent any contact with heating elements.
4. Do not cover the air inlet and the outlet when the appliance is working. Leave at least 10cm
free space around and above the appliance.
5. Filling the pan with oil may cause a fire hazard!
6. Do not touch the inside of the appliance when it is in operation.
7. Be careful of the hot steam and air when you remove the pan from the appliance.
8. During operation, hot steam is released through the air outlet. Keep your hands and face at a
safe distance from the steam and the air outlet.
9. Immediately turn off and unplug the appliance if you see any dark smoke coming out of the
appliance, which means the food is overcooked or the appliance broke down.
