Frequently Asked Questions - Cecofry Fantastik 6500 CECOTEC

How to turn on and off the Cecofry Fantastik 6500 air fryer?

Plug in the appliance, place the food in the basket, then press the power button. Use the touch controls to set the temperature and timer. The appliance shuts off automatically at the end of the programmed time or when you press and hold the power button.

How much oil should I use?

No oil is needed for hot air cooking. You can apply a thin layer of oil to the food with a brush or spray for a crispier result, but this remains optional.

How do I clean the basket and the bowl?

Unplug the appliance and let it cool down. Remove the basket and the bowl, wash them in hot soapy water or in the dishwasher. Dry thoroughly before putting them back. Do not use abrasive scouring pads that could damage the non-stick coating.

Can I put frozen fries directly into the fryer?

Yes, frozen fries can be cooked without pre-thawing. Shake the basket halfway through cooking for even cooking and adjust the time according to the quantity and thickness of the fries.

What is the recommended cooking time for fresh fries?

For fresh fries cut into sticks, allow about 25 to 30 minutes at 180 °C. Stir halfway through. For frozen fries, allow 15 to 20 minutes depending on the brand and thickness.

How do I set the temperature and timer?

Use the + and - buttons or the touch screen to select the desired temperature (between 80 °C and 200 °C). Then set the cooking time up to 60 minutes. The digital display shows the active settings.

Are there any important safety instructions?

Never immerse the appliance in water. Place it on a stable, heat-resistant surface. Do not leave it unattended while in use. Use the cool-touch handle and the protective glove if provided. Unplug it after use and while it is hot.

How to prevent food from sticking to the basket?

Use an oil spray or lightly brush the basket before cooking. Turn or shake the food halfway through using the provided plastic spatula or silicone utensils to avoid scratching the coating.

Can I use aluminum or silicone containers in the air fryer?

Yes, you can use silicone molds or small trays that fit the size of the bowl. Aluminum containers are also acceptable, but avoid any contact with the heating elements and ensure they are well stabilized.

What to do if the appliance does not turn on?

Check that the plug is properly inserted and that the outlet works. Make sure the basket is fully inserted (usually with a click). If the screen still does not light up, contact Cecotec after-sales service. Never disassemble the appliance yourself.

Note:

As ingredients differ in origin, size, shape, and brand, we cannot guarantee the best setting for the ingredients that you are using. If necessary, change the times and/or temperature values to adjust the cooking to the type of ingredient.

Tips for cooking

• Smaller ingredients require a shorter preparation time than 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.
• Shaking smaller food midway through the cooking process optimises the result and prevents uneven cooking.
• Add some oil to the fresh potatoes for a crispier result. Cook the food in the air fryer just after adding oil to it.
• Do not cook extremely fatty ingredients such as sausages in the air fryer.
• Oven-ready food can also be cooked in the air fryer.
• The optimal amount for preparing crispy fries is 500 grams.
• Pre-made dough requires a shorter preparation time. Pre-made dough requires a shorter preparation time than home-made dough.
• Place a baking pan or baking dish in the air-fryer's basket if you want to bake a cake or quiche or if you want to fry fragile or stuffed foods.
• You can also use the air fryer to reheat food.

1. TROUBLESHOOTING

Problem	Possible causes	Possible solution
The air fryer does not work	The appliance is not plugged in.	Plug the device to an earthed wall socket.
The ingredients fried with the air fryer are not done.	The food is too big.	Put smaller batches of food in the basket. Food is cooked faster when smaller.
	The temperature used is too low.	Increase the cooking temperature (see the “Operation” section).
	The preparation time is too short.	Increase the cooking time (see the “Operation” section).
The ingredients are cooked unevenly in the air fryer.	Some types of food need to be shaken during the cooking process.	Ingredients that lie on top of or across each other (e.g., fries) need to be shaken halfway through the preparation time. See section “Operation”.

Fried food is not crispy when it is removed from the air fryer.	You used a type of food that is meant to be prepared in a traditional deep fryer.	Cook oven food or oil the food a bit to get a crispier result.
The basket does not slide into the device properly.	There are too many ingredients in the basket.	Do not fill the basket beyond the max. indication.
	The grille is not correctly placed inside the basket.	Push the grille downwards into the basket until you hear a click sound.
White smoke comes out of the appliance.	You are preparing greasy ingredients.	When cooking fatty food in the air fryer, a large amount of oil will leak into the basket. Oil produces white smoke. This does not affect the appliance or the result.
	The basket still contains grease residue from previous use.	The white smoke is due to the fat heating up in the basket. Make sure you clean the device properly after each use.
Chips are unevenly fried.	You did not use the right potato type.	Use fresh potatoes and make sure they stay put during frying. Use potatoes of the types suggested.
	You did not rinse the potato sticks properly before you fried them.	Rinse the potatoes well in water for 3 minutes to remove the starch and dry thoroughly afterwards.
Fresh fries are not crispy when they come out of the air fryer.	The right kind of potato is not being used.	Make sure you dry the potato sticks properly before adding the oil.
		Cut the potato sticks on smaller pieces for crispier results.
		Add a little bit more of oil for a crispier result.
