Frequently Asked Questions - VitaCrisp Klarstein

How to use the VitaCrisp air fryer for the first time?

Before first use, remove all packaging and labels. Wash the frying basket, baking tray, grid and lower compartment with warm soapy water, rinse and dry. Never put them in the dishwasher. Heat the appliance empty for 20 minutes at maximum temperature in hot air mode to remove packaging residues.

What cooking modes are available on the VitaCrisp?

The fryer offers seven modes: Air Fry, Air Broil/Air Roast, Dehydrate, Toast (up to 9 slices), Bake, Pizza and Keep Warm. Each mode has a default time and temperature that you can customize.

How to adjust the temperature and cooking time?

Turn the dial to select the mode. Then press the TEMP/DARKNESS button to adjust the temperature or TIME/SLICE for time, then turn the dial. You can adjust these settings at any time during cooking.

What if I want to make crispy fries without oil?

Use the Air Fry mode. Place the fries in the frying basket on the top rack. Hot air cooking allows you to get crispy fries with very little or no oil. Refer to the cooking chart in the manual for times and temperatures.

How to clean the appliance properly?

Unplug the appliance and let it cool for 30 minutes. Remove the accessories and hand wash them with warm soapy water. Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth. For deep cleaning, open the rear door and clean the interior with soapy water. Do not use abrasive sponges or chemical products.

Why does the screen display 'PRE'?

'PRE' means the appliance is preheating. It flashes until the temperature reaches 120°C, which takes about 2 to 3 minutes. Once preheating is finished, the appliance switches to cooking mode.

Can I use the Keep Warm function to keep food warm?

Yes, the Keep Warm mode keeps food warm for up to 2 hours. The temperature is fixed and cannot be changed. Activate this mode after cooking by selecting Keep Warm.

How to store the power cord?

At the back of the appliance, two blocks allow you to wrap the cord. Secure the cable inside these blocks for tidy storage. Make sure the appliance is completely cool before storing.

What if the appliance emits an odor during first use?

A slight odor is normal during first use as packaging residues are burned off. Let the appliance heat empty for 20 minutes at maximum temperature in a well-ventilated area. This odor disappears after a few uses and does not affect performance.

Can I wash the accessories in the dishwasher?

No, the accessories (basket, tray, grid, compartment) are not dishwasher safe. Hand wash them with warm soapy water, rinse and dry thoroughly. The dishwasher may damage the non-stick coating.
