1. Wipe down the device with a clean,

damp cloth. Clean the drawer(4) and the rack (3) with detergent and warm water. The rack is also dishwasher-safe.

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” chapters and allow the device to heat up on the highest temperature setting for approx. 15 to 20 minutes without any food in it.

3. Then clean it again (see the “Cleaning

SET-UP AND CONNECtION Please Note! ■ Do not place the device below kitch- en 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. ■ Never place the device on a soft surface. The ventilation openings on the bottom of the device must not be covered. Otherwise it could overheat and be damaged. ■ 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 20cm to the sides and 50cm above).

2. Completely unwind the connecting

cable and plug it into a properly installed plug socket that is easily accessible. The LED light (8) lights up blue as soon as the device is supplied with power. In addition, you will hear two beeps, all elements on the control panel(1) light up once and then go out again, apart from the operating lamp (11). ACCESSORIES Drawer The food is prepared in the drawer(4). It must be inserted in the main unit (2) when the device is put into operation. Rack The rack(3) should be inserted in the drawer(4) when the device is in use so that the air circulation function is not impaired. A small casserole or baking tin can also be placed on the rack for baking. FUNCTIONS The device features manual setting of the temperature and cooking time as well as 6 preset programmes. The control panel is activated by touching the field (19). If the control panel is not touched for longer than 60 seconds, the device switches back to stand-by mode. Preset Programmes To select a programme, keep touching the fieldM(16) until the symbol for the programme you want lights up. Chips programme (23) Ideal for chips, potato crisps etc. Temperature: 200 °C Cooking time: 15 minutes Baking programme (24) Ideal for pizza, cakes, bread etc. Temperature: 160 °C Cooking time: 25 minutes Meat programme (10) Ideal for all types of meat, apart from poultry, especially for steak, chop etc. Temperature: 180 °C Cooking time: 20 minutesEN

Fish programme (12) Ideal for fish, fish fingers, etc. Temperature: 180 °C Cooking time: 15 minutes Shrimps programme (13) Ideal for scampi, mussels etc. Temperature: 180 °C Cooking time: 15 minutes Poultry programme (15) Ideal for all types of poultry, whether breast, leg, wing etc. Temperature: 200 °C Cooking time: 20 minutes

The times and temperatures which are set for the programmes are merely suggestions. They should be manually adjusted if necessary to ensure that the food (in particular poultry) is fully cooked. Adjustments can also be made during the heating process. Manual Setting The temperature and cooking time set- tings can be made via the fields (18), + (increase; 20) and – (decrease; 21). Temperature:

• can be set from 80 – 200 °C Cooking time:

• can be set from 1 – 60 minutes

These settings can be made both before the start of the heating process and during it. To scroll through the values quickly, leave your finger on the respective field. TIPS

• Generally no oil or only a small amount of oil is required for preparing food. You can add oil to your food to enhance the taste by spraying your food with a little oil from the oil atomiser.

• The cooking time is dependent on the size and quantity of the food and on the cooking temperature. However, in general the cooking time is shorter than in a conventional oven. Start with a shorter cooking time and then adapt the cooking time to your personal taste.

• When preparing mass-produced frozen products, you should follow the times and temperatures specified by the manufacturer. Before the specified cooking time elapses, check whether the food is already cooked through because the cooking time can be slightly shorter than in a conventional oven.

• 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. USE This device operates 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, read through the “Tips” chapter. Please Note! ■ Do not use the device for longer than 3 hours without a break. ■ Do not use the device for a lengthy period without food in the drawer.Digital Hot Air Frying Machine

■ Do not place food that is still wrapped in cling film or plastic bags into the device. ■ The device must not be moved during operation. ■ Make sure that the food does not come into contact with the heating element of the device. ■ Fill the drawer no more than ⅓ full so that the hot air can circulate optimally inside the cooking chamber. ■ Make sure that foodstuffs containing oil and fats are not overheated. ■ If smoke rises from the device, pull out the mains plug immediately. One exception is the first time the device is used without any food (see the “Before Initial Use” chapter). ■ Always place the drawer and the rack if applicable on a heat-resistant surface after use.
