• This appliance is intended for the preparation of solid food. Do not prepare soups or other liquid foods in it.

• A safety switch prevents the appliance from being used without a deep-frying container.

• To achieve the best results, never overfill the deep-frying container so that the food does not come into contact with the heating element.

• Never add oil or any other liquid to the deep-frying con- tainer. To achieve a crispy result, the food can be spread with a little oil.

• All foods that are also suitable for the oven can be pre- pared in the appliance.

• The sieve insert ensures that the accumulated fat settles to the bottom of the deep-frying container. This makes the food crispier.

• When baking cakes, bread, etc., note that the dough expands. The dough must not come into contact with the heating element.

• The sieve insert can be removed for baking bread or similar.

• Food that lies on top of each other during cooking should be shaken halfway through the cooking time. This opti- mises the cooking result and prevents uneven cooking.

• Soak homemade potato products for at least 30 minutes after cutting to reduce potato starch. Then dry the potato pieces well with kitchen paper.

• The cooking time depends on various factors: Size, texture, amount of food and set temperature.

• If you do not preheat the hot air fryer, add 4 minutes to the cooking time. Function Buttons
