4. SETTINGS

The chart below indicates which settings should be used for which food.

ATTENTION: these settings are merely indicative. Since each ingredient may differ from kind to kind, brand to brand, but also from size, shape, content... it is possible that the indicated settings don't always entirely correspond.

TIPS:

Smaller ingredients often require a shorter baking time than larger ingredients.
- Shaking small ingredients during the baking process might improve the final result. (See 6. USE).
- Add a little bit of oil on fresh potatoes for a crispier result. Add the oil before putting the ingredients in the basket. Bake the ingredients within a few minutes after adding the oil.
Snacks that can be prepared in a traditional oven can be prepared in the SnackTastic®. Snacks or fries only meant to be prepared in a deep fryer will not always provide the desired result.

Homemade fries

1. Peel the potatoes and cut them into fries.
2. Soak the fries in a bowl of water for at least 30 minutes, take them out and dry them properly with some paper towel.
3. Pour 12 spoon of oil in a bowl, add the fries and mix carefully until all fries are equally covered with oil.
4. Remove the fries from the bowl with your hands or a kitchen utensil so redundant oil stays behind in the bowl. Put the fries in the basket.

NOTE: don't pour the fries from the bowl into the basket to avoid redundant oil from ending up in the pan.

1. Bake the fries as mentioned earlier.

Problem	Possible cause	Solution
The SnackTastic® does not work.	The plug is not plugged in.	Insert the plug into the socket.
	The "ON/OFF" symbol wasn't pressed.	Press "ON/OFF" after having chosen all settings to start the appliance.
	There is no pan in the appliance or the pan is not correctly placed.	Put the pan (correctly) in the appliance.
The ingredients are not done.	There are too much ingredients in the basket.	Put smaller quantities at once in the basket.

The ingredients are not equally baked.	Some ingredients need to be shaken halfway through the baking process.	Shake ingredients which are piled up (f. ex. fries) halfway through the baking process.
The fried ingredients are not crispy.	You used snacks only suited for a traditional or a cool zone deep fryer.	Use oven snacks or slightly grease the ingredients with oil for crispier result.
I cannot slide the pan into the appliance properly.	There are too much ingredients in the basket.	Fill maximum 4/5 of the basket.
	The basket is not correctly placed in the pan.	Press the basket until you hear a click.

White smoke coming out of the appliance.	You're using very greasy ingredients.		When baking greasy ingredients, the redundant oil drips on the hot pan and causes smoke. This will not affect the final cooking result.
	There are some residues from prior bakings in the pan.		The smoke is caused by greasy residues heating up. Carefully clean the pan after each use.
Fries are fried unequally.	You used the wrong kind of potato.		Use another kind of potato.
	You didn't use any oil or didn't spread them equally.		Use some oil (see point 4.Homemade fries)Spread them equally in the basket.
	Color depends on the amount of water and oil in the fries.		Carefully dry the fries before you grease them with oil.
The fries are not crispy.	The crispiness depends on the amount of water and oil in the fries.		Cut smaller fries.Grease with a little bit more oil, see point 4.
If the dysfunction is not remedied too, bring the appliance to your sales point.
