Children under the age of 8 must be kept away from the device and the power cable.

- Do not touch any hot parts of the device such as the air outlet on the back. The frying basket should only be touched at the handle.
During frying, hot steam escapes from the air outlet. Be careful not to put your hands into the steam.

DANGER for children
- Please make sure that the hot air fryer can never be pulled down (e.g. with the power cable) by children. In cases of scalding there is danger to life!
- Packing materials are not children's toys. Children should not be allowed to play with the plastic bags. There is a risk of suffocation.

DANGER to and from pets and livestock
- Electrical devices can represent a danger to pets and livestock. In addition, animals can also cause damage to the device.
- For this reason you should keep animals away from electrical devices at all times.

DANGER for birds
Birds breathe faster, distribute the air differently in their bodies and are significantly smaller than humans. For this reason, it may be dangerous for birds to inhale even the smallest smoke quantities, which develop while this device is in operation. When using this device, birds should be relocated into a different room.

DANGER! Risk of electric shock due to moisture
- Protect the device from moisture, water drops and water splashes.
The device, the power cable and the mains plug must not be immersed in water or any other liquids. - If liquid gets into the device, disconnect the mains plug immediately. Have the device checked before reusing.
- If the device has fallen into water, pull out the mains plug immediately, and only then remove the device from the water. Do not use the device again, and have it checked by a specialist workshop.
- Never touch the device with wet hands.

DANGER! Risk of electric shock
Do not use the device if the device or the power cable has any visible damage, or if the device has previously been dropped.
- If you use an extension cable, it must be sufficient for the technical data of this device.
Do not connect the device by using a multiple socket. By doing so the socket might be overloaded.
Lay the power cable such that no one can step on it, get caught on it, or trip over it.
- Connect the mains plug only to a correctly installed, easily accessible earthed wall socket with voltage corresponding to the rating plate. The wall socket must still be easily accessible after connection.
Ensure that the power cable cannot be damaged by sharp edges or hot spots. Do not wrap the power cable around the device.
- When setting up the device, make sure that the power cable is not trapped or crushed.
- Even after it has been switched off, the device is not completely disconnected from the mains. In order to fully disconnect it, pull out the mains plug.
To pull the mains plug out of the wall socket, always pull on the mains plug, and never on the power cable.
- Disconnect the mains plug from the wall socket ...
... after every use,
... if there is a fault,
... when you are not using the device,
... before you clean the device and
... during thunderstorms.
To avoid any risk, do not make modifications to the product. Repairs must be carried out by a specialist workshop or the Service Centre.

- Never leave the device unattended while it is plugged in.
- Never leave the hot air fryer unattended during operation. You will thus be able to detect possible problems early on due to unusual smells or noises.
- Never cover the device or place it on soft objects (e.g. towels).
Make sure that there is free space on all sides and above the device.
Do not use the hot air fryer directly under wall units or wall sockets and not near to any curtains, paper or any similar flammable objects.
The hot air fryer should only be operated on a stable, flat, non-slip, dry and non-flammable work surface, in order to prevent it from tipping over or slipping away.

Make sure that the food will not touch the hot heating element at the top of the interior and become stuck there.
- Do not clean using sharp objects or abrasive cleaning agents.
The device is fitted with non-slip plastic feet. As furniture is coated with a variety of different varnishes and acrylics, and treated with different cleaning agents, it cannot be completely ruled out that components are contained in some of these substances that could damage and soften the plastic feet.

8. The basics of frying
Preparation of the food
- All food must be as dry as possible when used for frying. Dry the food to be fried and remove any ice from frozen food.
- When using deep-frozen food, remove as much water and ice as possible before you put the food into the hot air fryer.
- In case of breaded food, please make sure that the breading sticks as tightly as possible to the food to be fried.
Frying time and frying temperature
- For a tasty and healthy result, the information on the packaging should be observed very carefully when selecting the temperature and the frying time.
- Only small quantities should be fried at a time.
- The frying basket 5 must not be filled more than the MAX 4 marking.
- Acrylamide may be carcinogenic. In order to reduce the formation of acrylamide as much as possible, browning the food too much should be avoided.
For an even browning 12
1: Shake or turn after one third and two thirds of the cooking time.
2: Shake or turn halfway through the cooking time.
If the food (e.g. French fries or chicken nuggets) requires an even browning, give it 1-2 shakes during the frying process.
- Use the handle 9 to pull the pan 10 together with the frying basket 5 out of the housing 1 and shake the contents. While shaking make sure that the French fries are being thoroughly mixed and that the still rawer ones at the basket centre will get to the outside. When the pan 10
with the frying basket 5 is taken out, the device is automatically switched off.
- Reinsert the pan 10 with the frying basket 5 into the device. The device switches on again automatically until the cooking time has expired.
Baking
Dough may never be filled directly into the frying basket 5. After preparing the dough put it into a baking tin or another heat-resistant pan (e.g. muffin liners). Then put the container holding the dough into the frying basket 5.
Package instructions
If on a package of deep-frozen food you don't find information regarding the cooking times for hot air fryers, observe the times given for convection ovens.
