The chart below indicates which settings should be used for which food. ATTENTION: these settings are merely indicative. Since each ingredient may differ from brand to brand, but also from size, shape, content… it is possible that the indicated settings don’t always entirely correspond. TIPS: - Smaller ingredients often require a shorter baking time than larger ingredients. - Shaking small ingredients during the baking process might improve the final result. (See USE). - Add a little bit of oil on fresh potatoes for a crispier result. Add the oil before putting the ingredients in the basket. Bake the ingredients within a few minutes after adding the oil. - Snacks that can be prepared in a traditional oven can be prepared in the SnackTastic®. Snacks or fries only meant to be prepared in a deep fryer will not provide the desired result. - You can use the SnackTastic® to heat up ingredients. To do so, see Reheat function, point 4. Use.23

3. Pour ½ spoon of oil in a bowl, add the fries and mix carefully until all fries are equally covered with oil.

4. Remove the fries from the bowl with your hands or a kitchen utensil so redundant oil stays behind in the

bowl. Put the fries in the basket. NOTE: don’t pour the fries from the bowl into the basket to avoid redundant from ending up in the drawer.

5. Bake the fries as mentioned earlier.

There are some residues from prior bakings in the drawer. The smoke is caused by greasy residues heating up. Carefully clean the drawer after each use.

Fries are fried unequally.

Crispiness depends on the amount of water in the fries. Carefully dry the fries before you grease them with oil.
