3. OPERATION

With this device you can cook in both baskets at the same time with different temperatures and times, saving time when making your favourite recipes. This device includes a recipe book with several recipes which you will be able to cook easily.

2. Plug the power cord to the electric circuit.
3. Press the power icon (8) to turn the device on.
4. Remove the basket and place the food on the corresponding racks. The device has a larger basket separated in the middle by a metal plate that prevents odours and flavours to transfer from one single basket compartment to the other. Each single basket compartment has a separate rack to place the food to be cooked on.
5. Carefully align the metal divider plate and the mark on the fryer body to place it to its original position.
6. Select the whole basket (16) or the single basket compartment (13/17) to be used and select a programme or set the cooking time and temperature manually.
7. Press the Start/Pause icon (12) for the device to start cooking.
8. When the device finishes cooking, it will emit an acoustic alert to warn you.
9. Check if the ingredients are cooked as desired. Otherwise, put the basket back inside the device and set the timer for a few more minutes.
10. Once the food is cooked to your liking, remove the basket and place it on a heat-resistant surface. Depending on the type of ingredients, steam may be released, so be careful when removing the basket.
11. Empty the basket into a bowl or plate. Use tongs to remove the ingredients. Be careful not to burn yourself. Do not place the basket upside down to remove the food.
12. You can use the device again just after having used it.

Note

• The device has a safety system preventing operation if the basket isn't correctly placed.
• It is recommended not to exceed 4 cm in height in the basket with food, as this could negatively affect the final result of the cooked food.

Note

This information is indicative, as ingredients differ in origin, size, shape and brand, we cannot guarantee the best setting for the ingredients that you are using.

Tips

• Smaller ingredients require shorter preparation time than the larger ones.
• A larger quantity of ingredients only requires a slightly longer preparation time, and a smaller quantity of ingredients only requires a slightly shorter preparation time.
• Stirring small ingredients during the frying process optimises the result and can help prevent unevenly cooked ingredients. To do so, remove the basket and shake it.
• Add some oil to raw chips for a crispier result.
• The optimal amount for preparing crispy fries is 400 grams.
• Do not use the device to fry greasy food (such as sausages).
• Food that can be cooked in an oven can also be cooked with the device.
• Pre-made dough requires a shorter preparation time than home-made dough.
• You can also use the device to reheat ingredients. To do so, set the temperature at 150^ C for 5-10 minutes.

11. Frying temperature increase/decrease icons

14. Synchronisation

• This function is useful when different cooking times have been set for the single basket compartments and you want frying to end at the same time. With this function, if you have selected 20 min for the left-hand single basket compartment and 10 min for the right-hand one, frying in the right-hand single basket compartment will start 10 minutes later to allow frying in both compartments to finish simultaneously.
• To programme this function, first select the left (13) or right-and single basket compartment (17), then select the desired programme (10) or enter the desired time (9) and temperature (11). Press the 'Sync' icon (14) for it to stop flashing. The other single basket compartment will start flashing: select the desired programme (10) or enter the desired time (9) and temperature (11). Press the start/pause icon (12) to start cooking.
• When this function is activated, the single basket compartment with the shorter programmed time will enter Standby mode and "Hold" will appear on the display until there is no time difference. Then, frying will start and both compartments will be left with the same remaining cooking time.

Note

If you remove the basket, "Out" will be displayed for both single basket compartments. If it takes more than 90 seconds but less than 5 minutes to place the basket, the sync function will be deactivated. When the basket is reinserted, a countdown for both single basket compartments will start.

15. Preheating

• To select this function, first select the compartment or basket (13, 16 or 17) to be used, then select the preheating function (15) and set the desired preheating temperature (11). The preheating time is 5 minutes by default, but if you wish to cancel it at any time, press the power icon (8).
