BEFORE FIRST USE

1. Remove all packaging material.
2. Remove any stickers or labels from the appliance.
3. Thoroughly clean the basket and the pan with hot water, some dishwashing liquid and a non-abrasive sponge.

Note: You can also clean these parts in the dishwasher.

1. Wipe the inside and outside of the appliance with a moist cloth. Fry Delight works on hot air. Do not fill the pan with oil or any solid fats.

PREPARING FOR USE

1. Place the appliance on a stable, horizontal and level surface. Do not place the appliance on non-heat-resistant surfaces.
2. Place the basket in the pan properly.
3. Pull the cord out of the cord storage compartment in the bottom of the appliance. Do not fill the pan with oil or any other liquid.

Do not put anything on top of the appliance. This disrupts the airflow and affects the hot air frying result.

USING THE APPLIANCE

Fry Delight can prepare a large range of ingredients. Cooking times for the main ingredients are given in the 'Settings' section. You can find more recipes at www.krupsusa.com

Hot air frying

1. Put the mains plug in a wall socket.
2. Carefully pull the pan out of the Fry Delight.
3. Put the ingredients in the basket.

Note: Never fill the basket beyond the MAX indication line or exceed the amount indicated in the table (see 'Settings' section), as this could affect the quality of the end result.

1. Slide the pan back into the Fry Delight. Never use the pan without the basket in it. Caution: Do not touch the pan during or directly after use, as it gets very hot. Only hold the pan by the handle.

2. Move the temperature control knob to the required temperature. See 'Settings' section to determine the right temperature

3. Determine the required preparation time for the ingredients (see 'Settings' section).
4. To switch on the appliance, turn the timer knob to the required preparation time.

Add 3 minutes to the preparation time when the appliance is cold.

Note: If you want, you can also let the appliance preheat without any ingredients inside. In that case, turn the timer knob to more than 3 minutes and wait until the indicator light goes out (after approx. 3 minutes). Then fill the basket and turn the timer knob to the required preparation time.

The indicator light will illuminate.
The timer starts counting down the set preparation time.
During the hot air frying process, the indicator light will illuminate and turn off when the appliance reaches the desired temperature. This indicates that the heating element is switched on and off to maintain the set temperature.
Excess oil from the ingredients is collected in the bottom of the pan.

1. Some ingredients require shaking halfway through the preparation time (see 'Settings' section). To shake the ingredients, pull the pan out of the appliance by the handle and shake it. Then slide the pan back into the air fryer.

Caution: Do not press the basket release button during shaking.

Tip: To reduce the weight, you can remove the basket from the pan and shake the basket only. To do so, pull the pan out of the appliance, place it on a heat-resistant surface and press the basket release button.

Tip: If you set the timer to half the preparation time, you will hear the timer beep when you have to shake the ingredients. However, this means that you have to set the timer again to the remaining preparation time after shaking.

1. When you hear the timer beep, the set preparation time has elapsed. Pull the pan out of the appliance and place it on a heat-resistant surface.

Note: You can also switch off the appliance manually. To do this, turn the timer control knob to 0.

1. Check if the ingredients are ready.

If the ingredients are not ready yet, simply slide the pan back into the appliance and set the timer for a few extra minutes.

1. Empty the basket into a bowl or onto a plate.

Tip: To remove large or fragile ingredients, use a pair of tongs to lift the ingredients out of the basket.

1. To remove small ingredients (e.g. fries), press the basket release button and lift the basket out of the pan.

Do not turn the basket upside down with the pan still attached to it, as any excess oil that has collected on the bottom of the pan will leak onto the ingredients.

After hot air frying, the pan and the ingredients are hot. Depending on the type of ingredients in the Fry Delight steam may escape from the pan.

1. When a batch of ingredients is ready, the Fry Delight is instantly ready for preparing another batch.

SETTINGS

The table below helps you to select the basic settings for the ingredients you want to prepare. Note: Keep in mind that these settings are recommendations. As ingredients differ in origin, size, shape as well as brand, we cannot guarantee the best setting for your ingredients.

Because the Air Pulse technology instantly reheats the air inside the appliance, pulling the pan briefly out of the appliance during hot air frying barely disturbs the process.

TIPS

Smaller ingredients usually require a slightly shorter preparation time than larger ingredients.
A larger amount of ingredients only requires a slightly longer preparation time, a smaller amount of ingredients only requires a slightly shorter preparation time.
- Shaking smaller ingredients halfway through the preparation time optimizes the end result and can help prevent unevenly fried ingredients.
- Add some oil to fresh potatoes for a crispy result. Fry your ingredients in the Fry Delight within a few minutes after you added the oil.
Snacks that can be prepared in an oven can also be prepared in the Fry Delight.
The optimal amount for preparing crispy fries is 1.10 lbs.
Use pre-made dough to prepare filled snacks quickly and easily. Pre-made dough also requires a shorter preparation time than home-made dough.
Place an oven dish in the Fry Delight basket if you want to bake a cake or quiche or if you want to fry fragile ingredients or filled ingredients.
■ You can also use the Fry Delight to reheat ingredients. To reheat ingredients, set the temperature to 160^ / 320^ for up to 10 minutes.

Note: When you use ingredients that rise (such as with cake, quiche or muffins) the oven dish should not be filled more than halfway.

Note: Add 3 minutes to the preparation time when you start frying while the Fry Delight is still cold.

MAKING HOME-MADE FRIES

For the best results, we advise to use pre-baked (e.g. frozen) fries. If you want to make home-made fries, follow the steps below.

1. Peel the potatoes and cut them into same sized sticks.
2. Soak the fries in a bowl of cold water for at least 30 minutes, take them out and dry them with paper towel.
3. Pour 12 tablespoon of olive oil in a bowl, put the fries on top and mix until the fries are coated with oil.
4. Remove the fries from the bowl with your fingers or a kitchen utensil so that excess oil stays behind in the bowl. Put the fries in the basket.

Note: Do not tilt the bowl to put all the fries in the basket all at once, to prevent excess oil from ending up on the bottom of the pan.

1. Cook the fries according to the instructions in the 'Settings' section.

CLEANING

Clean the appliance after every use.

The pan and the basket have a non-stick coating. Do not use metal kitchen utensils or abrasive cleaning materials to clean them, as this may damage the nonstick coating.

1. Remove the plug from the wall socket and let the appliance cool down. Note: Remove the pan to let the air fryer cool down more quickly.
2. Wipe the outside of the appliance with a moist cloth.
3. Clean the pan and basket with hot water, some dishwashing liquid and a non-abrasive sponge.

Note: The pan and basket are dishwasher-proof.

Tip: If food is stuck to the basket or the bottom of the pan, fill the pan with hot water with some dishwashing liquid. Put the basket in the pan and let the pan and the basket soak for approximately 10 minutes.

1. Clean the inside of the appliance with hot water and a non-abrasive sponge.
2. Clean the heating element with a cleaning brush to remove any food residue.

STORAGE

1. Unplug the appliance and let it cool down.
2. Make sure all parts are clean and dry.
3. Push the cord into the cord storage compartment. Fix the cord by inserting it into the cord fixing slot.
