PREPARING FOR USE

1. Place the appliance on a flat, stable, heat-resistant work surface away from water splashes.
2. Do not fill the bowl with oil or any other liquid.
   Do not put anything on top of the appliance. This disrupts the airflow and affects the hot air frying result.

USING THE APPLIANCE

Easy Fry can cook a large range of recipes. Cooking times for the main foods are given in the section 'Cooking Guide'. Online recipes at www.tefal.co.uk help you get to know the appliance.

1. Connect the power supply cord to an electrical socket.
2. Carefully pull the bowl out of the Easy Fry.
3. Place the food in the bowl.

Note: Never fill the bowl beyond the MAX level mark or exceed the maximum amount indicated in the table (see into section 'Cooking Guide'), as this could affect the quality of the end result.

1. Slide the bowl back into the Easy Fry.

Caution: Do not touch the bowl during use and for some time after use, as it gets very hot. Only hold the bowl by the handle.

1. Move the temperature control knob to the required temperature. See section 'Cooking Guide' to select the right temperature

2. Select the required cooking time (see section 'Cooking Guide').

3. To switch on the appliance, turn the timer knob to the required cooking time.

Add 3 minutes to the cooking time stated in the tables on pages 7 and 8 when using the appliance from cold.

To set a short time, turn the timer knob until 10 minutes and then go back to the desired time.

Note: If you want, you can also let the appliance preheat without any food inside. In this case, turn the timer knob to more than 3 minutes and wait until the heating-up light goes out (after approx. 3 minutes). Then fill the bowl and turn the timer knob to the required cooking time (see Cooking Guide for timings).

The timer starts counting down the set cooking time.
The heating-up light goes on.
- During the hot air frying process, the heating-up light goes on and off from time to time. This indicates that the heating element is switched on and off to thermostatically maintain the set temperature.
8. Excess oil from the food is collected in the bottom of the bowl.
9. Some foods require shaking halfway through the cooking time (see section 'Cooking Guide'). To shake the food, pull the bowl out of the appliance by the handle and shake it. Then slide the bowl back into the Easy Fry.

Tip: You can set the timer to half of the cooking time, and when the timer sounds shake the ingredients. Then set the timer again for the remaining cooking time.

1. When you hear the timer sound, the cooking time set has finished. Pull the bowl out of the appliance and place it on a heat-resistant surface.

Note: You can also switch off the appliance manually. To do this, turn the timer control knob to 0.

1. Check if the food is ready.

If the food is not ready yet, simply slide the bowl back into the appliance and set the timer for a few extra minutes.

1. When the food is cooked, take out the bowl. To remove food, use a pair of tongs to lift the food out of the bowl.
   Caution: When you turn the bowl, be careful of any excess oil collected at the bottom of the bowl that may leak onto the food and the grid which may fall out.
   After hot air frying, the bowl, the grid and the food are very hot. Depending on the type of food cooked in the Easy Fry, be careful as steam may escape from the bowl.
2. When a batch of food is ready, the Easy Fry is instantly ready for preparing another batch of food.

When you use mixtures that rise (such as with cake, quiche or muffins) the oven dish should not be filled more than halfway.

TIPS

• Smaller foods usually require a slightly shorter cooking time than larger size foods.
• A larger amount of food only requires a slightly longer cooking time, a smaller amount of food only requires a slightly shorter cooking time.
• Shaking smaller size foods halfway through the cooking time improves the end result and can help prevent uneven cooking.
• Add some oil to fresh potatoes for a crispy result. After adding a spoon of oil, fry the potatoes within a few minutes.
• Do not cook extremely greasy foods in the Easy Fry.
  Snacks that can be cooked in an oven can also be cooked in the Easy Fry.
  The optimal recommended quantity for cooking fries is 700 grams.
• Use ready made puff and shortcrust pastry to make filled snacks quickly and easily.
• Place an oven dish in the Easy Fry bowl if you want to bake a cake or quiche or if you want to fry fragile ingredients or filled ingredients. You can use an oven dish in silicon, stainless steel, aluminium, terracotta.
• You can also use the Easy Fry to reheat food. To reheat food, set the temperature to 160^ for up to 10 minutes.

MAKING HOME-MADE CHIPS

For the best results, we advise to use frozen chips. If you want to make home-made chips, follow the steps below.

1. Choose a variety of potato recommended for making chips. Peel the potatoes and cut them into equal thickness chips.
2. Soak the potato chips in a bowl of cold water for at least 30 minutes, drain them and dry them with a clean, highly absorbent tea towel. Then pat with paper kitchen towel. The chips must be thoroughly dry before cooking.
3. Pour 12 tablespoon of oil (vegetable, sunflower or olive) in a dry bowl, put the chips on top and mix until they are coated with oil.
4. Remove the chips from the bowl with your fingers or a kitchen utensil so that any excess oil stays behind in the bowl. Place the chips in the bowl.

Note: Do not tip the container of oil coated chips directly into the bowl in one go, otherwise excess oil will end up at the bottom of the bowl.

1. Fry the chips according to the instructions in the section Cooking guide.
