   DO NOT PLACE THE APPLIANCE ON ANY SURFACE THAT IS NOT HEAT RESISTANT.
2. Place the grill in the basket.
   DO NOT FILL THE BASKET WITH OIL OR ANY OTHER LIQUID.

ENGLISH

1. You can use a pair of tongs to transfer large or fragile foods from the basket.
2. If you want to prepare more food, you can use the air fryer instantly once another batch of food is ready.

TIPS

- Note: please note that as ingredients differ in size, shape, brand, and origin, we cannot guarantee that this is the best configuration for the ingredients you have. Rapid Air Fryer technology reheats the air inside the fryer instantly, so removing the basket from the fryer for a short period of time will not interrupt the cooking process.

Tips:

• Small ingredients tend to have a shorter cooking time than larger ones.
• Stirring smaller ingredients halfway through cooking gives a better end result.
• If very little oil is added to the fresh potatoes and they get fried, the result will be crispy.
• Do not cook extremely fatty ingredients in the air fryer, like sausages.
• The recommended quantity of cut potatoes to prepare crispy chips is 350 grams.
• Pre-cooked dough requires less cooking time than homemade dough.

4. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

1. Clean the fryer after every use.

Unplug the fryer.

ALWAYS WAIT AT LEAST 30 MINUTES FOR THE FRYER TO COOL DOWN BEFORE CLEANING.

NOTE: do not clean the basket, the grill, or the inside of the appliance with metal kitchen utensils or abrasive cleaning materials, as this may damage the non-stick coating.

1. Clean the outside of the air fryer with a damp cloth.
2. Clean the basket with hot water, washing-up liquid, and a non-abrasive sponge. You can remove any food residue using degreasing liquid soap.

Tip: if food remains stuck to the basket, soak it in hot, soapy water for about 10 minutes.

1. Clean the inside of the appliance with hot water and a non-abrasive sponge.
