Warnings for the Use of the Appliance

WARNING: Risk of Burns!

• Only touch the deep-frying containers by the handles. Use oven gloves if necessary.
• Hot steam may escape from the air outlet during operation. Keep enough distance.

CAUTION:

• Do not cover the air inlet and air outlet openings to ensure sufficient air circulation.
• Keep a sufficient safety distance (30 cm) from easily inflammable objects such as furniture, curtains, etc.!
• Do not operate the appliance under wall cabinets because of the rising heat and vapours.
• Do not manipulate the safety switches.
• Overload! Do not use a multiple socket, as this appliance is too powerful.

Notes for Use

Location

• Place the appliance on a non-slip, level and heat-resistant surface.
• Do not place the appliance with the back directly against a wall.
• Never place the appliance or the power cord on hot surfaces or near heat sources (e. g. cooker, hob).

Electrical Connection

Before inserting the mains plug into the socket, make sure that the mains voltage matches that of the appliance. You will find the information on the type plate. Unwind the mains cable completely.

Standby (Ready State)

The appliance is in standby mode when only the button is lit. The appliance switches to standby mode in the following situations:

• When the mains plug is plugged in.
• When the time has expired.
• When you press the button, a short beep will sound.
  • After a power failure.

Before First Use

- There is a protective layer on the heating element. To remove this, operate the appliance for approx. 15 minutes without contents. Slight smoke and odours are normal during this process. Ensure that there is sufficient ventilation.

WARNING:

Let the appliance cool down before cleaning it!

• Disconnect the mains plug from the socket.
• Wipe out the deep-frying container, the separator plate, the sieve insert and the interior of the appliance before using the appliance.

Important Information for Use

• 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 container. 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 prepared 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 optimises 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.
