1. Wipe down the outside of the device

with a clean, damp cloth. Clean the drawers(6) and insert racks (5) with detergent and warm water.

2. The device should be used for the

first time without any food in it as it may produce some smoke or odours due to coating residues. To do this, follow the instructions in the “Set-Up and Connection” and “Use” chap- ters. Allow the device to heat up on the highest temperature setting (AIR BROIL programme) for approx. 10 minutes without any food in it.

3. Then clean it again.

FUNCTIONS The device has two cooking zones. Adif- ferent programme can be selected for each cooking zone and the temperature and cooking time can be adjusted as you wish. There are 10programmes. Moreover, the cooking zones can be syn- chronised so that either all temperature and cooking time settings are identical for both cooking zones (SMART FINISH function), or just the end of the cooking time is synchronised (MATCH COOK function) so that the different foods can be served at the same time. But the cooking zones can also be operat- ed independently without synchronisation. In addition, it is possible to use just one cooking zone for smaller quantities of food.19 Double Chamber Hot Air Frying Machine

Programmes To select a programme, press the re- spective button(17). The device has the following programmes: AIR BROIL Ideal for nuggets, spring rolls, etc. Temperature: 230°C (adjustable: 205 – 230°C) Cooking time: 10 min

adjustable : 1 – 4 hr) REHEAT For reheating food that has already been cooked Temperature: 175°C (adjustable: 130 – 205°C) Cooking time: 15 min

adjustable : 1 – 60 min) KEEP WARM For reheating food that has already been cooked Temperature: 95°C (adjustable: 65 – 95°C) Cooking time: 30 min

The times and temperatures which are set for the programmes should be adjusted if necessary to ensure that the food (in particular poultry) is fully cooked. Adjust- ments can also be made during the cooking process. Adjusting the Temperature and Cooking Time After a programme has been chosen, the temperature can be adjusted with the buttons and (14), and the cooking time can be adjusted using the buttons and (10). To scroll through the values quickly, hold down the respective button.EN

Synchronising Cooking Zones Two functions are used to synchronise the cooking zones:

• SMART FINISH function – for two dif- ferent foods that have different tem- perature and cooking time settings, but should be ready at the same time.

• MATCH COOK function – for larger quantities of a food or for different foods with the same temperature and cooking time setting.

It is not possible to synchronise the cooking zones subsequently while the device is operating. Stand-By Mode When the button (9) is pressed, the control panel(2) is activated. If the device is not operating and no button is pressed for 5 minutes, the device switches to stand-by mode. TIPS

• Generally no oil or only a small amount of oil (2 to 3 teaspoons) is required for preparing food.

• Very light pieces of food could be swirled around by the circulating air. If necessary, we recommend sticking them together with toothpicks or asimilar object.

• The cooking time is dependent on the size and quantity of the food and on the temperature. However, in gen- eral the cooking time is shorter than in aconventional oven. Start with a shorter cooking time and gradually increase it if required.

• Mix the food around from time to time or turn it with tongs to obtain an even cooking result.

• Check the condition of the food in be- tween times and, if it is cooked, switch off the device, even if the programme has not yet finished. SET-UP AND CONNECtION Please Note! ■ Check the device and the connecting cable for damage each time before putting it into operation. The device should only be used when it is un- damaged and in working order. ■ Never place the device on a soft surface. The ventilation openings on the bottom of the device must not be covered. ■ Ensure there is sufficient clear space on all sides. Do not place the device below kitchen wall units or similar cupboards. The rising steam could cause damage to them! ■ Only connect the device to a plug socket that is properly installed and matches the technical data of the device. The plug socket must also be readily accessible after connection so that the connection to the mains can quickly be isolated. ■ Make sure that the connecting cable is not squashed, bent or laid over sharp edges and does not come into contact with hot surfaces (e.g. of the device).

1. Place the device on the kitchen unit or

another dry, clean, flat and heat-re- sistant work surface. Ensure there is sufficient clear space on all sides (at least 20 cm to the sides and 50 cm above).

2. Fully unwind the connecting cable

and plug the mains plug into a plug socket.21 Double Chamber Hot Air Frying Machine

USE In general, you can use this device to pre- pare all dishes that can also be prepared in a conventional fan oven. For good results, read through the “Tips” chapter. Please Note! ■ Before using the device, make sure that the device and the outsides of the drawers are clean and dry. ■ Do not use the device for longer than 4 hours without a break. Exceptions to this rule are the KEEP WARM and DEHYDRATE programmes. ■ Do not leave the device switched on when it is empty (apart from “burning off” prior to first use). ■ Do not place food that is still wrapped in cling film or plastic bags in the device. ■ Make sure that the food does not come into contact with the heating elements. ■ Do not overfill the drawers so that the hot air can circulate optimally inside the cooking chambers. Fill them no more than 1/3 full. ■ Make sure that foodstuffs containing oil and fats are not overheated. They could ignite. ■ Always place the hot drawers down on a heat-resistant surface after use.

Preheating of the device is not necessary.

1. Prepare the food for cooking.

2. Insert the insert racks(5) in the draw-

ers(6). The insert racks are stabilised by the silicone-covered corners.

If the food is going to be de- hydrated, we recommend first spreading one layer directly on the bottom of the drawer, then insert- ing the insert rack and placing a second layer on it.

3. Place the food into the drawers,

separated by type. If you are cooking a smaller quantity of just one type of food, just one drawer can be used. It is also possible to use a small bak- ing tin (not supplied with the device).

4. Insert the drawer(s) into the cooking

5. Press the button (9) to activate the

control panel(2). Setting mode for cooking zone 1 is called up. (To switch to cooking zone 2, press the button2(16).)

6. Select a programme(17) and if nec-

essary adjust the temperature and cooking time using the buttons and (10, 14).

7. If only one drawer is being used, con-

tinue with step 9. If both drawers have been filled, set the temperature and cooking time for cooking zone 2 in one of the following ways: a. To copy the settings from cooking zone 1 for cooking zone 2, press the SMART FINISHbutton (11). b. Otherwise use the button2 to call up the setting mode for cooking zone 2. Then choose a programme and make adjustments if neces- sary.

8. If different settings have been made

for both cooking zones, but the cook- ing times should end simultaneously, press the MATCH COOKbutton (13). Otherwise skip this step.

9. Use the START / PAUSEbutton (15) to

start the cooking process. The remaining cooking time can be read off the display(12). Once the cooking time has elapsed, beeps are heard and “End” is shown.

10. Pull out the drawer(s) and place down

on a heat-resistant surface. Do not stand on the device!EN

button and pull the mains plug out of the plug socket.

12. Remove the food from the drawer(s).

13. Allow the drawer and the insert rack

to cool down. Then clean them (see the “Cleaning and Storage” chapter). Briefly Pausing the Cooking Process If the cooking process is to be paused to mix around or add further ingredients, for example, simply pull out the drawer(6). The countdown of the cooking time (for both cooking zones if they are synchro- nised) is stopped. It resumes after the drawer is inserted. Manually Stopping a Cooking Zone To stop the cooking process in one cook- ing zone, call up the respective setting mode using the buttons 1(18) or 2(16) and then press the START / PAUSEbut- ton(15). “End” appears on the corre- sponding display. The other cooking zone continues the cooking process.

TROUBLESHOOTING If the device does not work properly, check whether you are able to rectify the problem yourself. If the problem cannot be solved with the steps that are listed, contact the customer service department. Do not attempt to repair an elec- trical device yourself! The device does not work. The mains plug is not inserted in the plug socket correctly. ► Correct the fit of the mains plug. The plug socket is defective. ► Try another plug socket. There is no mains voltage. ► Check the fuse of the mains connection. The drawers(6) are not inserted correctly. ► Slide the drawer fully into the cook- ing chamber(4). The fuse in the fuse box is triggered. Too many devices are connected to the same circuit. ► Reduce the number of devices in the circuit. The food has not been cooked evenly. The drawer (6) is too full. ► Reduce the amount of food. Fill the drawer no more than 1/3 full. The items of food are piled on top of one another. ► Spread the food and mix it around from time to time. Different foods with different cooking times or temperatures have been pre- pared in one drawer(6). ► Separate the different foods and spread them across both drawers. Set the correct temperature and cook- ing time for them. With the MATCH COOK function they will be ready at the same time. The set cooking time was too short or the temperature too low. ► Increase the cooking time or temperature. Fries made from fresh potatoes are not crispy. The potatoes contain too much water. ► Cut the potatoes into narrower piec- es. Dab the potato pieces dry with some kitchen towel and then trickle a little cooking oil over them. ► Spread the pieces of potato on the insert rack (5)

During use, an unpleasant smell is detected. /Smoke emerges from the device. The device is dirty. ► Follow the instructions in the “Clean- ing and Storage” chapter. The device is being used for the first time. ► A smell often develops when new de- vices are first used. The smell should disappear once the device has been used several times.
