Using the appliance

Airfrying

Caution

• This is an Airfryer that works on hot air. Do not fill the pan with oil, frying fat or any other liquid. (Fig. 8)
• Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs. Handle the hot pan and fat reducer with oven-safe gloves.
• This appliance is for household use only.
• This appliance may produce some smoke when you use it for the first time. This is normal.
• Preheating of the appliance is not necessary.

1. Place the appliance on a stable, horizontal, level and heat-resistant surface. Make sure the drawer can be opened completely.

Note: Do not put anything on top or on the sides of the appliance. This could disrupt the airflow and affect the frying result.

2. Pull the power cord out of the cord storage compartment at the back of the appliance. (Fig. 9)

3. Put the plug in the wall outlet. (Fig. 10)

4. Open the drawer by pulling the handle. (Fig. 11)

5. Put the ingredients in the basket. (Fig. 12)

Note

• The Airfryer can prepare a large range of ingredients. Consult the ‘Food table’ for the right quantities and approximate cooking times.
• Do not exceed the amount indicated in the ‘Food table’ section or overfill the basket beyond the ‘MAX’ indication as this could affect the quality of the end result.
• If you want to prepare different ingredients at the same time, make sure you check the suggested cooking time required for the different ingredients before you start to cook them simultaneously.

6. Slide the drawer back into the Airfryer by the handle. (Fig. 13)

Caution

• Never use the pan without the fat reducer or basket in it. If you heat up the appliance without basket, use oven gloves to open the drawer. The edges and inside of the drawer become very hot.
• Do not touch the pan, fat reducer or basket during and for some time after use, as they get very hot.

7. Turn the temperature control knob to the required temperature. (Fig. 14)

Note: Refer to the food table with basic cooking settings for different types of food.

8. Turn the timer knob to the required cooking time to switch on the appliance. (Fig.

Note

• The heating-up light goes on. During use the heating-up light goes on from time to time. This indicates that the appliance is heating up to the right temperature.
• The timer continues to count down the set cooking time.
• Some ingredients require shaking or turning halfway through the cooking time (see
• Food table’). To shake the ingredients, open the drawer and lift the basket out of the pan and shake it over the sink (Fig. 16). Then slide the pan with the basket back into the appliance to resume cooking.
• If you set the timer to half the cooking time, when you hear the timer bell it is time to shake or turn the ingredients. Be sure to reset the timer to the remaining cooking time.

9. When you hear the timer bell, the set cooking time has elapsed (Fig. 17). You can also switch off the appliance manually. To do this, turn the power-on knob to 0 counterclockwise); this requires some more force than turning clockwise.

10. Open the drawer by pulling the handle and check if the ingredients are ready. (Fig.18)

Note: If the ingredients are not ready yet, simply slide the drawer back into the Airfryer by the handle and add a few extra minutes to the set time.

11. To remove small ingredients (e.g. fries), lift the basket out of the pan by the handle. (Fig. 19)

Caution: After the cooking process, the pan, the fat reducer, the basket, interior housing and the ingredients are hot. Depending on the type of ingredients in the Airfryer, steam may escape from the pan.

12. Empty the basket contents into a bowl or onto a plate. Always remove the basket from the pan to empty contents as hot oil may be in bottom of the pan. (Fig. 20)

Note

• To remove large or fragile ingredients, use a pair of tongs to lift out ingredients.
• Excess oil or rendered fat from the ingredients is collected on the bottom of the pan below the fat reducer.
• Depending on the type of ingredients cooking, you may want to carefully pour off any excess oil or rendered fat from the pan after each batch or before shaking or replacing the basket in the pan. Place the basket on a heat-resistant surface. Wearing oven-safe gloves, lift the pan off tracks and place on heat-resistant surface. Carefully remove the fat reducer from the pan using rubber tipped tongs. Pour off excess oil or rendered fat. Return the fat reducer to the pan, the pan to the drawer and the basket to the pan.

When a batch of ingredients is ready, the Airfryer is instantly ready for preparing another batch.

Note: Repeat steps 1 to 12 if you want to prepare another batch.

Making home-made fries

To make great home-made fries in the Airfryer:

• Choose a potato variety suitable for making fries, e.g. fresh russet potatoes.
• It is best to air fry the fries in portions of up to 1000 grams / 35 oz for an even result. Larger fries tend to be less crispy than smaller fries.
• Shake the basket 2-3 times during the Airfrying process.

1. Peel the potatoes and cut into sticks (8x8mm / 5/16 x 5/16 in thick).

2. Soak the potato sticks in a bowl of water for at least 30 minutes.

3. Empty the bowl and dry the potato sticks with a dish towel or paper towel.

4. Pour a half tablespoon of cooking oil in the bowl, put the sticks in the bowl and mix until the sticks are coated with oil.

5. Remove the sticks from the bowl with your fingers or a slotted kitchen utensil so excess oil remains in the bowl.

Note: Do not tilt the bowl to pour all the sticks in the basket at once to prevent excess oil from going into the pan.

6. Put the sticks in the basket.

7. Fry the potato sticks and shake the basket halfway through the airfrying process.

Shake 2-3 times if you prepare more than 500g/17.6 oz of fries.

Note: Consult the chapter “Food table” for the right quantities and cooking times.

Cleaning

Warning

• Let the basket, pan, fat reducer and the inside of the appliance cool down completely before you start cleaning.
• Remove the fat reducer from the pan using rubber tipped tongs. Do NOT remove using your fingers as hot fat or oil collects under the fat reducer.
• The pan, basket, fat reducer and inside of the appliance have a non-stick coating. Do not use metal kitchen utensils or abrasive cleaning materials as this may damage the non-stick coating.

Clean the appliance after every use. Remove oil and fat from the bottom of the pan after every use to prevent smoke.

1. Turn the timer knob to 0, remove the plug from the wall outlet and let the appliance cool down.

Tip: Remove the pan and basket to let the Airfryer cool down more quickly.

2. Remove the fat reducer from the pan using rubber tipped tongs. Dispose of rendered fat or oil from the bottom of the pan.

3. Clean the pan, basket and fat reducer in a dishwasher. You can also clean them with hot water, dishwashing liquid and a non-abrasive sponge (see ‘cleaning table’).

Tip

• If food residues stuck to the pan, fat reducer or basket, you can soak them in hot water and dishwashing liquid for 10-15 minutes. Soaking loosens the food residues and makes it easier to remove. Make sure you use a dishwashing liquid that can dissolve oil and grease. If there are grease stains on the pan, fat reducer or basket and you have not been able to remove them with hot water and dishwashing liquid, use a liquid degreaser.
• If necessary, food residues stuck to the heating element can be removed with a soft to medium bristle brush. Do not use a steel wire brush or a hard bristle brush, as this might damage the coating on the heating element.

4. Wipe the outside of the appliance with a moist cloth. (Fig. 21)

5. Clean the heating element with a cleaning brush to remove any food residues. (Fig. 22)

6. Clean the inside of the appliance with hot water and a non-abrasive sponge. (Fig. 23)

Storage

1. Unplug the appliance and let it cool down.
2. Make sure all parts are clean and dry before you store the appliance.
3. Insert the cord into the cord storage compartment.

Note

• Always hold the Airfryer horizontally when you carry it. Make sure that you also hold the drawer on the front part of the appliance as it can slide out of the appliance if accidentally tilted downwards. This can lead to damaging of the drawer.
• Always make sure that the removable parts of the Airfryer e.g. removable mesh bottom, etc. are fixed before you carry and/or store it.
