• Remove all packaging materials and any possible protective fi lms used for protec- tion during transportation. Never remove the rating plate and any possible war- nings!

• Before you fi rst enjoy any fried food, we recommend that you carry out a trial run to remove any possible production residues. To do this, allow the device to heat up on the highest temperature setting for approx. 15 minutes without any food in it (see the “Using the Device and Preparing Food” chapter). Make sure that the room is well ventilated as you do this! When the device is fi rst used, production-related additives (e.g. grease) may cause a small amount of smoke and / or an odour to be produced. This is normal and not a device defect.

• Clean the device and all accessories thoroughly (see the “Cleaning, Care and Sto- rage” chapter). Setting Up and Connecting the Device PLEASE NOTE! ■ Place the device on a dry, level, fi rm and heat-resistant surface. Never place the device on a soft surface. The ventilation slots on the bottom of the device must not be covered. Otherwise it could overheat and be damaged. ■ Set up the device with a clear space on all sides (at least 20 cm) and clear space above it (at least 30 cm). ■ The device has rubber feet. Some items of furniture are coated with materials which could attack the rubber feet. If necessary, place a mat under the device to be on the safe side.

1. Set up the device in a suitable location, following the safety instructions and the

notes provided at the beginning of this chapter.

2. Fully unwind the mains cable.

3. Insert the mains plug into a properly installed socket that is easily accessible. A beep

will be heard and all the elements in the display will light up once. All elements then go out again. Safety Features

• The device is equipped with an internal timer. Once the set timer time has elapsed, the supply of heat is automatically switched off. To switch the device on again, touch the fi eld (20) (see the “Using the Device and Preparing Food” chapter).

• The device switches off automatically when the drawer (5) with the basket insert (8) is removed from the device. All elements on the display (10) go out. When the drawer is inserted back into the device, a beep sounds, all elements light up once on the display and then go out again. The display shows the symbol for the previously selected programme (“Manual” programme excluded) and the set temperature and the remaining timer time appear on the LED display (21). The set programme con-25 EN tinues to run until the timer time has elapsed or the device is switched off manually (see the “Operation” and “Using the Device and Preparing Food” chapters). Operation Please note that the preset cooking temperatures and cooking times are average values. As ingredients may differ in terms of their origin, size, shape and brand, we are unable to guarantee an optimal setting for your ingredients. The actual cooking times may therefore vary depending on portion size. Before serving, ple- ase make sure that your food is well done! Programmes The device has 7 programmes: Programme Temperature (preset) Duration (preset) Suitable for (examples) Manual 180 °C 15 min. Vegetable sticks, mozzarella sticks, apple turnovers Chicken 200 °C 20 min. Chicken wings, chicken thighs, chicken nuggets Chips 180 °C 15 min. Potato and sweet potato chips Prawns 160 °C 20 min. Prawns, shrimps (each without shell) Baking

• only use in conjunction with the optionally available bread baking basket (see fold- out page)

• For each programme the temperature and the duration can be set individually (see the “Operating Elements and Functions” section).

• Depending on which programme is selected, the corresponding symbol appears on the display (10). If no programme symbol is shown on the display, the “Manual” programme is set.EN 26 Operating Elements and Functions The device has the following operating elements and functions: Operating elements Functions Fields + and – for timer Heating duration (1 – 60 minutes in 1-mi- nute increments) Fields + and – for temperature Temperature (80 – 200 °C in 5-degree increments) Field Switch the device on and off Start “Manual” programme Menu fi eld Select menu

• The required duration and temperature can be set by touching the relevant + and – fi elds. If the fi elds are pressed for an extended period, the fast increment mode is activated.

• Touching the fi eld (20) switches the device on or off. If you are on the “Manual” menu, the programme is started by touching the fi eld

• The required programme can be set by touching the fi eld (18) several times. When the device is switched on, the “Manual” programme is preset. The program- mes can be selected in the following order: Chicken > Chips > Prawns > Baking > Meat > Fish > Manual Tips

• This device works with hot air. In general, you can prepare all dishes that can also be prepared in a conventional fan oven. It is suitable, among other things, for hot-air grilling of chips and potato wedges made from fresh potatoes, for cooking frozen chips and other frozen convenience products, and for cooking all kinds of chopped up food (both fresh vegetables and fresh meat and fresh fi sh).

• Generally it is not necessary to preheat the device. However, to be better able to determine when the food is cooked and when preparing food which has to be ready “on the dot”, preheating to the required temperature is recommended (see the “Using the Device and Preparing Food” chapter). The set temperature has been reached when the symbol (23) goes out on the display (10).

• You generally do not require any oil to cook food in the device. You can add oil to your food to enhance the taste by spraying your food with a little oil from the oil atomiser. In addition, you can also prepare marinated food or food in breadcrumbs in the device.

• Cooking times are dependent on the size and quantity of the food and on the cooking temperature. However, in general the cooking times are shorter than in a conventional oven. We recommend starting with short cooking times and then adapting them to your personal taste.

• For the preparation of frozen products, follow the time and temperature specifi cations of the manufacturer. To get a crispy result, never add fat when preparing mass-27 EN produced frozen products as they have generally already been pre-fried. The preparation time may be reduced slightly. You should therefore check whether your food is fully cooked before the stated cooking time has expired.

• With some food (e. g. chips and similar items), it is advisable to mix the food around from time to time to obtain an even cooking result. To do this, remove the drawer (5) from the device and give the food a light shake. Then re-insert the drawer and continue the cooking process. Using the Device and Preparing Food PLEASE NOTE! ■ The drawer and the basket insert will be hot after being removed from the device! Only ever place on a heat-resistant surface! ■ Make sure that the drawer has been inserted correctly. The device cannot be swit- ched on if the drawer is not inserted correctly. ■ Insert the drawer into the device only with the basket insert placed in it. ■ Do not overfi ll the basket insert so that the hot air can circulate optimally inside the device. Fill the basket insert no more than 2/3 full. ■ Do not place food that is still packed in plastic wrap or plastic bags in the device. ■ Make sure that the food that you would like to prepare does not come into contact with the heating elements of the device. This device works with hot air. It is not a conventional fryer in which food is deep-fried using lots of oil! In general, you can prepare all dishes that can also be prepared in a conventional fan oven. For good results, please read the “Tips” chapter.

1. Insert the basket insert (8) into the drawer (5). It must click audibly into place.

2. Pour the food that is to be prepared into the basket insert.

3. Insert the drawer containing the basket insert into the device. A beep must sound

and all elements must light up once on the display (10) and then go out again. The drawer is then fi tted correctly in the device.

4. Switch on the device by touching the fi eld

(20). The preset temperature and duration of the “Manual” programme are displayed alternately in the LED display (21).

5. Use the fi eld (18) to select the programme you want or stay on the preset “Manual”

programme (see the “Operation” chapter | “Operating Elements and Functions”). If necessary, adjust the temperature and the timer time individually using the relevant + and – fi elds (see the “Operation” chapter | “Operating Elements and Functions”). The selected programme starts automatically after approx. 5 seconds. The symbol (12) and symbol (23) appear on the display to indicate that the device is heating up.

• The “Manual” programme must be started via the fi eld .

• The temperature and the timer time can also be adjusted during the cooking process.EN 28 Please Note: The symbol goes out and appears again at regular intervals. This is not a malfunction. To maintain a constant temperature, the device heats up or the device stops the heating process at regular intervals. When the symbol appears, the device is in a heating phrase, and when the symbol goes out, the supply of heat has been briefl y interrupted.

6. Once the set timer time has elapsed, the supply of heat is ended automatically. All

elements go out, except for the symbol

By touching the fi eld during the cooking process, it can be manually aborted at any time. Please Note: After the set timer time has elapsed or the device is switched off ma- nually, the fan initially continues to operate! The symbol remains visible on the display. After approx. 20 seconds, fi ve beeps sound and the fan and the device switch off entirely. The symbol goes out.

7. Carefully pull the drawer containing the basket insert straight out of the device using

the basket insert handle (6) and place the drawer down on a heat-resistant, non-slip surface.

8. Remove the basket insert from the drawer by pushing the cover on the basket insert

handle forwards and pressing the release button (7) beneath it (Picture A1 and A2). Pull the basket insert up out of the drawer.

9. Carefully remove the food from the basket insert.

11. Clean the device after each use to prevent germ formation (see the “Cleaning, Care

and Storage” chapter). Do not allow any food residues to dry on the device.29 EN Recipe ideas Notes on cooking time and cooking temperature Please note that the preset cooking temperatures and cooking times are average va- lues. As ingredients may differ in terms of their origin, size, shape and brand, we are unable to guarantee an optimal setting for your ingredients. The actual cooking times may therefore vary depending on portion size. Before serving, please make sure that your food is well done! Homemade French fries Ingredients: 4 large potatoes (waxy) 1 – 2 TBSP cooking oil Salt to taste Preparation:

1. Peel the potatoes and cut them into sticks of equal size.

2. Wash and then dry the potatoes thoroughly.

3. Add 1 – 2 TBSP of oil to the potatoes and mix.

You do not have to add oil. However, adding oil to the French fries will make them crispier and tastier. Tips:

• Mix the oil before adding your favourite spices and herbs. This way, you can also make delicious curry or pepper fries for example. Let your imagination run wild.

• Depending on how thick you cut the potatoes, you can vary between potato wedges and thick or thin fries. The thicker you cut the potatoes, the longer the cooking time.

• Use waxy potatoes. Young potatoes contain more water and therefore take longer to cook and it is possible that they may not go as crispy.

• Wash the chopped-up potatoes with cold, clear water to remove any excess starch in the potatoes. IMPORTANT: Then thoroughly dry the potatoes. The less moisture is present, the crispier the chips will become.

• Preboiled potatoes will cook more evenly! Cut the potatoes into small sticks and preboil them for around fi ve minutes. This will prevent your chips from being crispy on the outside but not fully cooked on the inside.
