3. Put the food ingredients into the frying tank.
Notice: Put the frying tray first in the frying tank before placing the food ingredients into the
frying tank. The amount of food ingredients should never be too much nor too little , as it may
affect the final quality of frying.
4. Slip the frying tank back to the oil-free fryer. (Notice: Do not touch the fryer immediately
after the operation, to avoid scald. One can only move the fryer by holding the handle.)
5. Adjust to the right temperature by turning the temperature control knob . ( Please refer to the
"Settings" part of this chapter.)

chapter.)
7. To turn on the product, please adjust the knob of the timer to decide the time for cooking . ( If
the product starts with cold boot, the cooking time should be 3 minutes longer.)

8.Some food ingredients require overturning during the middle term of cooking ( refer to the

frying tank from the appliance, and then make the turning. After that, slip the frying tank back to

amount of ingredients only requires a slightly shorter preparation time.
3. Shaking smaller ingredients halfway through the preparation time optimized the end result and
can help prevent unevenly fried ingredients.
4. By adding small amount of oil to the fresh potatoes , the food can be made crisper. After adding
the oil, the food ingredients should be shelved for several minutes before frying
them in the oil-free fryer.

3. Pour olive oil into the bowl with a spoon, put the potato chips into the bowl and mix them round,
until all the potato chips are oiled evenly.
4. Remove the potatoes chips out of the bowl with your hands or kitchen wares, leave the excess
oil in the bowl. Then pour the potato chips into the frying tank.
Notice: 1. Put the frying tray in the frying tank before putting potato chips into the frying tank.
2. Do not pour all the potato chips into the frying tank one time , to prevent too much oil
being collected at the bottom of the frying tank after.
