This point allows you to shake or rotate the food in the fryer, which helps ensure even cooking. If you do not remove the basket and shake the food, the shake indicator light on the control panel will continue to flash. To do this, remove the basket.

To remove ingredients (e.g. chips, vegetables or ingredients without excess oil), please turn the pan upside down and pour the ingredients into a bowl.

Note: Do not exceed the MAX indication as this may affect the quality of the cooked food. Do not fill the basket with oil or any other liquid.

Automatic shut-off

The air fryer has a built-in timer that will automatically turn the appliance off when the countdown reaches zero.

Tips

• Smaller ingredients usually require slightly less preparation time than larger ingredients.
• A larger quantity of ingredients requires a slightly longer preparation time, while a smaller quantity of ingredients requires a slightly shorter preparation time.
• Stirring smaller ingredients halfway through the preparation time optimizes the final result and can help prevent uneven frying of the ingredients.
• Add some oil to the fresh potatoes and fry them for a few more minutes for a crispy result.
• Do not cook extremely fatty ingredients such as sausages in the air fryer.
• Oven-ready snacks can also be cooked in the air fryer.
• The optimal quantity for cooking crispy French fries is 500 grams.
• Use ready-made dough to cook snacks quickly and easily. Prepared dough also requires a shorter preparation time than homemade dough.
• Please use a baking pan or oven-safe container in the fryer basket if you want to bake a cake or quiche or if you want to fry fragile ingredients or filled ingredients.
• You can also use the air fryer to reheat food. To reheat ingredients, set the temperature to 150 °C for up to 10 minutes.
• Remove the basket from the fryer after the cooking process to remove excess moisture generated by the food.

4. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

• Clean the appliance after every use.
• Do not clean the rack, basket or appliance's interior with metal cookware or abrasive cleaning agents, as this may damage the non-stick coating.
• Unplug the power cord from the outlet to allow the unit to cool down.

Note: Remove the basket to allow the appliance to cool down more quickly.

• Clean the appliance's housing with a damp cloth.
• Clean the rack and basket with hot water, some liquid detergent and a non-abrasive

sponge. You can remove any remaining dirt by using a grease-removing liquid soap.

Tip: If the dirt is stuck to the basket or the bottom of the basket, fill the basket with hot water, add a little dishwashing soap. Place the rack in the basket and leave to soak for about 10 minutes.

• Clean the inside of the appliance with hot water and a non-abrasive sponge.
• Clean the heating elements with a cleaning brush to remove food residues.

	Food not placed correctly.	Make sure that the food is evenly distributed in the basket, without crowding.
	Some food items need to be turned over during the cooking process.	For some foods (such as French fries or nuggets), it is necessary to flip them halfway through cooking so that they brown evenly.
The food is burnt on the outside and raw on the inside.	The temperature is too high.	Reduce the temperature and increase the cooking time slightly.
	Food too thick.	Cut food into smaller or finer pieces to ensure thorough cooking.
White smoke comes out of the air fryer.	Excess fat in the basket.	Drain excess fat from the basket. In cooking with fatty foods, it may be necessary to drain the fat accumulated during the process.
	Food residue burned in the fryer.	Clean the fryer regularly to avoid the accumulation of burnt residues.
Dark smoke or a burning smell.	Food burning.	Turn off the fryer immediately. Check if the food has burned and reduce the time or temperature for future cooking.
	Food residues burned inside.	Thoroughly clean the fryer, including the interior and heating element, to remove any burnt residue.
The fryer makes a lot of noise.	The air fryer is not on a stable surface.	Place the air fryer on a stable, flat surface.
The basket does not slide smoothly.	Food or grease residues on the rails.	Clean the rails and edges of the basket and fryer to remove any debris that may hinder sliding.
	The basket is not placed correctly.	Ensure that the basket is correctly aligned and locked into position.
