• If you want to prepare dierent ingredients at the same time, make sure you check the suggested cooking time required for the dierent ingredients before you start to cook them simultaneously. Home-made fries and drumsticks, for example, can be cooked simultaneously because they require the same settings. 6 Make sure the fat reducer is in the pan. Place the basket back into the pan, then slide the pan back into the appliance (Fig. 17). 7 Press the “Power On/O” button to switch on the appliance. (Fig. 18). Note

• If food like French fries loses crispness during the keep warm mode, please either shorten the keep warm time by switching o the appliance earlier or crisp them up for 2-3 minutes at the temperature of 350°F/180°C. Note

• If you activate the keep warm mode during cooking, the appliance will keep your food warm for 30 minutes after the cooking time has elapsed.

• During the keep warm mode, the fan and heater inside of the appliance is on from time to time.

• The keep warm mode is designed to keep your dish warm immediately after it is cooked in the Airfryer. It is not meant for reheating. Making home-made fries To make great home-made fries in the Airfryer: - Choose a potato variety suitable for making fries, e.g. fresh, russet potatoes. - It is best to air fry the fries in portions of up to 500 grams/ 17.5 oz for an even result. Larger fries tend to be less crispy than smaller fries. - Shake the basket 2-3 times during the air frying process. 1 Peel the potatoes and cut into sticks (1/2cm / 1/4 in thick). 2 Soak the potato sticks in a bowl of water for at least 30 minutes. 3 Empty the bowl and dry the potato sticks with a dish towel or paper towel. 4 Pour a half tablespoon of cooking oil in the bowl, put the sticks in the bowl and mix until the sticks are coated with oil. 5 Remove the sticks from the bowl with your ngers or a slotted kitchen utensil so excess oil remains in the bowl. Note

• Do not tilt the bowl to pour all the sticks in the basket at once to prevent excess oil from going into the pan. 6 Put the sticks in the basket. 7 Fry the potato sticks and shake the basket halfway through the air frying process. Shake 2-3 times if you prepare more than 400 g/14 oz of fries. Note

• Consult the “Food table” for the right quantities and cooking times.17ENGLISH Using the double-layer rack Use the double-layer rack to maximize your cooking space. Note

• If cooking dierent ingredients at the same time, make sure that the cooking temperature and time is the same for each type of ingredient.

• Always position meats on lower level and vegetables above to avoid cross contamination of food or unsafe transfer of meat juices or partially cooked foods. 1 Follow steps 1 to 4 of section ‘Airfrying’. 2 Put one half of the ingredients in the basket. (Fig. 42) 3 Place the double-layer rack in the basket. (Fig. 43) 4 Put the second half of the ingredients onto the double-layer rack. (Fig. 44) 5 Follow steps 6 to 14 of section ‘Airfrying’. Warning

• The double-layer rack becomes very hot during use. Wear oven gloves when you remove the double-layer rack from the basket. Using the non-stick grill pan 1 Follow steps 1 to 3 of section ‘Airfrying’. 2 Press the basket release button and lift the basket out of the pan. (Fig. 45) 3 Attach the EasyClick handle to the non-stick grill pan (see ‘Placing the EasyClick handle’). 4 Place the non-stick grill pan in the pan. (Fig. 46) 5 Put the ingredients on the non-stick grill pan. 6 Follow steps 6 to 12 of section ‘Airfrying’. 7 When nished cooking, to remove ingredients, press the release button and lift the non-stick grill pan out of the Airfryer pan and place on a heat-resistant surface. Using the splatter-proof lid Use the splatter-proof lid if you are cooking light-weight ingredients in order to keep them in the basket, fatty ingredients or to reduce the speed of browning. Note

• When you use the splatter-proof lid, you may need more time to reach the same level of browning and doneness.18 ENGLISH 1 Follow steps 1 to 5 of section ‘Airfrying’. 2 Hold the lid with the top side facing you. Insert the two hooks of the lid into the two slots on the front side of the basket. Push the lid down until it locks into position (‘click’ on both sides). (Fig. 47) 3 Proceed with step 6 to 11 of section ‘Airfrying’. 4 Carefully remove the splatter-proof lid. (Fig. 48) Warning

• The splatter-proof lid is very hot. Wear oven gloves when you remove it. 5 Proceed with step 12 to 14 of section ‘Airfrying’. Using the baking pan 1 Put the ingredients into the baking pan. (Fig. 49) 2 Follow steps 1 to 3 of section ‘Airfrying’. 3 Remove the pan from the appliance and place it on a suitable surface. Place the baking pan into the basket, and then into the pan. (Fig. 50) 4 Follow steps 6 to 14 of section ‘Airfrying’. Warning

• The baking pan becomes very hot during use. Wear oven gloves when you remove the baking pan out of the basket. Tip

• If you experience a dark browning on the top, lower the temperature.

• When you prepare cakes or breads in the baking pan, do not overll. Make sure to only partially ll the baking pan to leave enough room for the dough to rise during baking. Cleaning Warning

• Let the basket, the pan, the fat reducer, the accessories and the inside of the appliance cool down completely before you start cleaning (Fig. 51)

• Remove the fat reducer from the pan using rubber tipped tongs. Do NOT remove using your ngers as hot fat or oil collects under the fat reducer.

• The pan, the basket, the fat reducer and the inside of appliance have a non- stick coating. Do not use metal kitchen utensils or abrasive cleaning materials as this may damage the non-stick coating. Clean the appliance after every use. Remove oil and fat from the bottom of the pan after every use to prevent smoke.19ENGLISH 1 Press the On/O button to switch o the appliance, remove the plug from the wall outlet and let the appliance cool down for 10 minutes. Tip

• Remove the pan and the basket to let the Airfryer cool down more quickly. (Fig. 15) 2 Remove the fat reducer from the pan using rubber tipped tongs. Dispose of rendered fat or oil from the bottom of the pan. 3 Clean the pan, basket, and accessories in a dishwasher. You can also clean them with hot water, dishwashing liquid and a non-abrasive sponge. (Fig. 52) Tip

• If food residues are stuck to the pan, the fat reducer, the double-layer rack or the basket, you can soak them in hot water and dishwashing liquid for 10-15 minutes. Soaking loosens the food residues and makes it easier to remove. The quality of your dishwashing liquid determines how easy it is to remove food residues and grease. Make sure you use a dishwashing liquid that can dissolve oil and grease. If there are grease stains on the pan, the fat reducer, or the basket and you have not been able to remove them with hot water and dishwashing liquid, use a liquid degreaser.

• If necessary, food residues stuck to the heating element can be removed with a soft to medium bristle brush. Do not use a steel wire brush or a hard bristle brush, as this might damage the coating on the heating element. 4 Clean the inside of the appliance with hot water and a non-abrasive sponge. 5 Clean the heating element with a cleaning brush to remove any food residue. 6 Wipe the outside of the appliance and the control panel only with a moist cloth. (Fig. 53) 7 Clean the inside of the appliance with a moist cloth. (Fig. 54) This appliance has no other user-serviceable parts. For assistance in the U.S. or Canada only, call 1-866-309-8817. Storage 1 Unplug the appliance and let it cool down. 2 Make sure all parts are clean and dry before storing. 3 Wrap the power cord onto the cord storage wrap. Note

• Always hold the Airfryer horizontally when you carry it. Make sure that you also hold the drawer on the front part of the appliance as it can slide out of the appliance if accidentally tilted downwards. This can lead to damaging of the drawer.
