3. OPERATION

Using the air fryer

1 Place the air fryer on a flat, stable, and heat-resistant surface, away from any possible splashing water or heat source.
2 Place the basket inside the air fryer properly.
3 Do not place any objects on top of the appliance to avoid interrupting the air flow.
4 Connect the power cable to an earthed outlet, the power icon will light up.
5 Remove the basket from the air fryer with extreme care.
6 Put the ingredients in the basket.
7 Use the control panel as follows:

NOTE: never exceed the MAX indicator on the basket, as the final result and the quality of the appliance may be affected.

TIP: to ensure perfect results, it is recommended that you avoid overfilling the basket with food, as it will not cook evenly.

Double heating element operation

The appliance has a double heating element, the top one generates more heat, and the bottom one is used to increase the temperature of the base of the basket. For best results using both heating elements, it is always recommended to use the special programmes with the default preheating function. This causes the basket's grill to reach a higher temperature and may mark certain foods.

Icon 1 - Power icon

Once the basket and rack/grill/grill are securely in place in the fryer, the power icon will light up. Pressing the power icon will set the temperature to 185 °C and the cooking time to 15 minutes by default. Pressing the Power icon again will start the cooking process. At the start of the process, the fan indicator light and the heating indicator light flash to indicate that the fan and the heating element are in operation. During the cooking process, the heating indicator light will stop flashing as soon as the appliance reaches the set temperature and will start flashing again when the temperature falls below the set range.

NOTE:

The steak, pizza, fish and DIY programmes are special programmes with a preset preheating time of 5 minutes which cannot be deactivated. When preheating is complete, the appliance will beep several times and display “ADD” to indicate that the food should be added.

Icon 2 - Preset menus icon

This icon allows you to choose from the 12 preset menus. Press this icon repeatedly to select the desired menu. Once selected the desired option, cooking time and temperature values will be set by default (see "Table of preset menus" in this section). The time and temperature values are manually adjustable by pressing the icons for time and/or temperature control.

Icons 3 and 4 - Time control icons

Press the icons to increase and/or decrease the time to adjust the cooking time according to the allowed ranges (see "Table of preset menus" in this section).

Icons 5 and 6 - Temperature control icons

Press the icons to increase and/or decrease the temperature to adjust the cooking temperature according to the allowed ranges (see "Table of preset menus" in this section).

Icon 7 - Delay start icon

After setting the temperature, time, and/or selecting the desired preset menu, press this icon and select the time you wish to delay the start of cooking by pressing the time increase/decrease icons. You can delay the cooking between 30 minutes and 24 hours in 30-minute and 1-hour intervals from 10 a.m. onwards.

8 In order to improve the result of certain foods, ingredients can be shaken halfway through the cooking process. To shake or turn the ingredients, remove the basket from the appliance by the handle and shake or turn the ingredients in the basket with clamps. Put the basket back in the air fryer.

WARNING:

• Be very careful when shaking the basket, as it contains hot food.
• Do not use metal utensils, as they could damage the inner coating of the basket.

NOTE:

• The steak, fish and DIY programmes are special programmes that beep to turn over the food in the middle of the cooking cycle. When the cooking cycle has reached the halfway point, the appliance will beep several times and display "TRN" to indicate that the food should be turned over.
  9 When you hear the beeping, the set cooking time will have elapsed. Remove the basket from the appliance and place it on a heat-resistant surface. Make sure the food is cooked. If the food isn't cooked enough, slide the basket back into the fryer and add a few more minutes.
  10 To remove food, e.g. chips, remove the basket from the air fryer and place it on a heat-resistant surface. Use non-metallic tongs to remove the ingredients. Be careful not to burn yourself. Do not place the basket upside down to remove the food.

WARNING:

• Do not overfill the basket; respect the quantity indicated in the chart so that the cooking result is not affected.
• Do not touch the basket during or immediately after operation to avoid burns. Hold the basket only by the handle.

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.

*The marked special programmes have a 5 minute preheating time not modifiable, all programmes except "Pizza" have a warning in the middle of the cooking cycle to turn the food over. This preheating time improves the final result of the meal.

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 end 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.

E1	Temperature sensor is not working	Contact the official Cecotec Technical Support Service.
E2	Short-circuit in the temperature sensor	Contact the official Cecotec Technical Support Service.
E3	Appliance overheating	Contact the official Cecotec Technical Support Service.
The air fryer does not work	The appliance is not plugged in.	Plug the appliance to an earthed wall socket.
The double heating element is not operating	The food is not cooked	The use of special programmes with preheating is recommended to improve the final result of the meat.
The ingredients cooked with the air fryer are not done	The food is too big.	Put smaller batches of food in the basket. Food cooks faster if small.
	The selected temperature 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 have been cooked unevenly	Some types of food need to be shaken during the cooking process.	Ingredients that lie on top of or across each other (e.g. chips) need to be shaken halfway through the preparation time. See the "Operation" section.
Fried foods are not crispy when they are 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 brush food with a little oil for crispier results.
The basket does not slide into the appliance properly	There are too many ingredients in the basket.	Do not fill the basket beyond the max. indication.
	The rack/grill is incorrectly placed inside the basket.	Push the rack/grill 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 foods in the air fryer, a large amount of oil seeps 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 appliance 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.
Chips 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.
