Frequently Asked Questions - HD9747 PHILIPS

How do I clean the Philips HD9747 Airfryer?

The basket and pan are dishwasher safe. For hand washing, use warm soapy water and a soft sponge. Do not use abrasive cleaners or metal utensils. Wipe the inside with a damp cloth.

Can I use parchment paper or baking cups in the Airfryer?

Yes, you can use parchment paper or silicone baking cups, but ensure they are weighted down with food to avoid contact with the heating element. Do not cover the bottom completely to allow air circulation.

What is the maximum capacity for french fries?

For frozen fries, the maximum capacity is 1.4 kg (3 lbs). For fresh fries, it is 1.2 kg (2.6 lbs). Overfilling may result in uneven cooking.

How much oil should I add?

This is an oil-free airfryer. You can cook without oil or use a minimal amount (e.g., 1 tablespoon) for better browning. Do not fill the pan with oil.

Why is my Airfryer not heating up?

Check that the appliance is plugged in and the timer is set. If the auto shut-off activated due to overheating, unplug and let it cool for 10 minutes before restarting. Also ensure the basket is fully inserted.

Can I reheat food in the Airfryer?

Yes, you can reheat leftovers. Use a temperature of 140-160°C (275-320°F) for 3-5 minutes. Shake halfway for even reheating.

What does the 'keep warm' function do?

The 'keep warm' preset maintains the food at 80°C (175°F) for up to 30 minutes. It is ideal for holding cooked food until serving.

How do I adjust cooking times for frozen vs fresh foods?

Frozen foods generally require 2-3 minutes extra compared to fresh. Use the presets for frozen fries and fresh fries as a guide. Always check internal temperature for safety.

Is the Airfryer loud during operation?

The fan noise is normal and similar to a convection oven. The sound level is approximately 50-55 dB, comparable to a quiet conversation.

Can I bake a cake in the Airfryer?

Yes, there is a 'bake' preset. Use a small cake pan that fits in the basket. Preheat the Airfryer for 3 minutes at 160°C (320°F) and bake according to your recipe, checking doneness with a toothpick.

• If you activate the keep warm mode during cooking, the appliance will keep your food warm for 30 minutes after the cooking time has elapsed.
• During the keep warm mode, the fan and heater inside of the appliance is on from time to time.
• The keep warm mode is designed to keep your dish warm immediately after it is cooked in the Airfryer. It is not meant for reheating.

Making home-made fries

To make great home-made fries in the Airfryer:

• Choose a potato variety suitable for making fries, e.g. fresh, slightly floury potatoes.
• It is best to air fry the fries in portions of up to 500 grams for an even result. Larger fries tend to be less crispy than smaller fries.
• Shake the basket 2-3 times during the air frying process.

1 Peel the potatoes and cut into sticks (1 x 1 cm / 1/2 x 1/2 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 air frying process. Shake 2-3 times if you prepare more than 400g of fries.

Cleaning

Warning

• Let the basket, pan, fat reducer and the inside of the appliance cool down completely before you start cleaning.
• 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.

1 Press the On/Off button to switch off the appliance, remove the plug from the wall outlet and let the appliance cool down for 10 minutes.

Tip

- Remove the pan and the 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, fat reducer and other accessories in a dishwasher. You can also clean them with hot water, dishwashing liquid and a non-abrasive sponge.

Tip

- If food residues are stuck to the pan, basket, fat reducer or other accessories, 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, basket or fat reducer, 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 and the control panel only with a moist cloth.

5 Clean the heating element with a cleaning brush to remove any food residue. 6 Clean the inside of the appliance with hot water and a non-abrasive sponge.

Troubleshooting

This chapter summarizes the most common problems you could encounter with the appliance. If you are unable to solve the problem with the information below, visit www.philips.com/support for a list of frequently asked questions or contact the Consumer Care Center in your country.

Problem Possible cause Solution

The outside of the appliance becomes hot during use.	The outside of the appliance becomes hot because the heat inside radiates to the outside walls.	This is normal. All handles, knobs and buttons that you need to touch during use stay cool enough to touch.
		The pan, basket, fat reducer, non-stick grill pan and the inside of the appliance always become hot when the appliance is switched on to ensure the food is properly cooked. These parts are always too hot to touch.
		If you leave the appliance switched on for a longer time, some areas get too hot to touch. These areas are marked on the appliance with the following icon:As long as you are aware of the hot areas and avoid touching them, the appliance is completely safe to use.
Problem Possible cause Solution
My home-made fries do not turn out as I expected.	You did not use the right potato type.	To get the best results, use fresh, slightly floury potatoes. If you need to store the potatoes, do not store them in a cold environment like in a fridge. Choose potatoes whose package states that they are suitable for frying.
	The amount of ingredients in the basket is too big.	Follow the instructions in this user manual to prepare home-made fries (see ‘Food table’ or download the free Airfryer App).
	Certain types of ingredients need to be shaken halfway through the cooking time.	Follow the instructions in this user manual to prepare home-made fries (see ‘Food table’ or download the free Airfryer App).
The Airfryer does not switch on.	The appliance is not plugged in.	When you switch on the appliance, the temperature indication starts blinking on the display. If you do not see anything on the display, check if the plug is inserted in the wall outlet properly.
	Several appliances are connected to one outlet.	The Airfryer has a high wattage. Try a different outlet and check the fuses.
I see some peeling off spots inside my Airfryer.	Some small spots can appear inside the pan of the Airfryer due to the incidental touching or scratching of the coating (e.g. during cleaning with harsh cleaning tools and/or while inserting the basket).	You can prevent damage by lowering the basket into the pan properly. If you insert the basket at an angle, its side may knock against the wall of the pan, causing small pieces of coating to chip off. If this occurs, please be informed that this is not harmful as all materials used are food-safe.
White smoke comes out of the appliance.	You are cooking fatty ingredients and the fat reducer is not put in the pan.	Carefully pour off any excess oil or fat from the pan, place the fat reducer in the pan and then continue cooking.
	The pan still contains greasy residues from previous use.	White smoke is caused by greasy residues heating up in the pan. Always clean the pan and basket thoroughly after every use.
	Marinade, liquid or meat juices are splattering in the rendered fat or grease.	Pat food dry before placing it in the basket.
	Breading or coating did not adhere properly to the food.	Tiny pieces of airborne breading can cause white smoke. Firmly press breading or coating to food to ensure it sticks.
My display shows 5 dashes as illustrated in the picture below.	Safety feature has been activated due to overheating of the appliance.	Unplug the appliance and let it cool down for 1 minute before plugging in again.
