Frequently Asked Questions - FR 2446 SEVERIN

What should I do if the appliance does not turn on?

Check that the appliance is properly plugged into a power outlet. If the problem persists, contact SEVERIN customer service.

How do I clean the frying basket?

Wash the basket with soapy water and dry it thoroughly, or put it in the dishwasher. Use non-abrasive detergents to avoid damaging the non-stick coating.

Can I use oil in this fryer?

No, this appliance works without oil. However, for homemade fries, you can mix a tablespoon of oil before cooking for extra crispiness.

Why are my fries not crispy?

Make sure the fries are well dried before cooking and not too large. You can also toss them with a little oil. If the basket is damp, dry it after each use.

How do I manually set the temperature and cooking time?

Use the + and - buttons to set the temperature and time. Then press the On/Off button to start cooking. The display alternates between temperature and remaining time.

What does the preheat symbol on the screen mean?

The preheat symbol lights up periodically during cooking to indicate that the appliance is heating to maintain the temperature.

How do I use the rotisserie spit for a whole poultry?

Insert the spit rod through the center of the poultry (max 1 kg) and secure it with the forks. Place the left side into the regulator and the right side into the tip. After starting, activate rotation by pressing the Ⓞ button.

Are the accessories dishwasher safe?

Yes, the frying basket, rotating basket, rotisserie spit, and racks are dishwasher safe. The drip tray too.

The appliance makes a ventilation noise after cooking, is that normal?

Yes, it's normal. The ventilation continues to run for a while after cooking to cool down the appliance.

How do I remove the door to clean the interior?

Open the door, push the hinge slider to the left (position OPEN), then remove the door by pulling it upward. Wipe it with a damp cloth and reassemble once dry. The appliance will not turn on if the door is removed.

Useful hints for air-frying

• You can prepare your food using the basic automatic programme settings, or adjust the settings according to your own requirements.
• Note that the cooking times listed are only approximate. Depending on the type of food, the cooking times and temperatures may have to be adjusted.
• With larger quantities, the cooking time increases. We recommend frequent turning of the food.

Tip!

When preparing frozen pizza, the pizza must be turned halfway through to ensure even cooking.

• If the food turns out too dark, try lowering the temperature first, before shortening the cooking times.
- For nutritious, healthy deep-frying we recommend to use a temperature setting of no higher than 170 °C when deep-frying amylaceous food, i.e. food with a higher-than-average starch content. With the reduced frying temperature, and with an equally reduced amount of food in the frying basket, the build-up of substances detrimental to health is limited to a minimum.

Cleaning and care

• Before cleaning, always unplug the appliance and allow the low fat fryer to cool down thoroughly.
• Caution: To avoid the risk of electric shock, do not

clean the outside of the fryer or its power cord with any liquids and do not immerse either of them in water.

• Do not use sharp or abrasive cleaning agents to avoid scratching the housing and the non-stick coating on the frying basket and drip tray.
• Clean all removable inserts in the rinsing water and dry thoroughly or clean in the dishwasher.
• Wipe the housing and the cooking chamber with a damp cloth.

• The appliance door can be removed for easier cleaning.
• To do this, open the door.
- Slide the slider on the door hinge (←OPEN) to the left and remove the door upwards.
- Wipe the door with a damp cloth. Do not immerse in water!
- Replace the dry door.
• The unit cannot be switched on without the door.
