This is an oil-free fryer that works on hot air. Do not fill the pot with oil or frying fat directly. Notice: When your air fryer is heated for the first time, it may emit slight smoke or odour. This is normal with many heating appliances. This does not affect the safety of your appliance. Preparing the appliance for use

Do not place the appliance on non-heat-resistant surface.

2. Place the frying rack in the pot

Do not fill the pot with oil or any other liquid. Do not put anything on top of the appliance as this could obstruct the airflow and affect the hot air frying result. Using the appliance

1. Connect the mains plug into an earthed wall socket.

2. Carefully pull the pot out of the air fryer (Figure 2).

3. Put the ingredients in the pot. (Figure 3).

4. Slide the pot back into the air fryer (Figure 4).

Never use the pot without the frying rack in it. Caution: Do not touch the pot during and for some time after use as it gets very hot. Only hold the pot by the handle.

5. Determine the required preparation time for the ingredient (see section "Settings" in this chapter).

6. Some ingredients require shaking halfway through the preparation time (see section "Settings" in

9. To remove ingredients (e.g., fries), pull the pot out of the air fryer and place it on a trivet.

Do not turn the pot upside down as any excess oil that has collected on the bottom of the pot will leak onto the ingredients. The pot and the ingredients are hot. Depending on the type of the ingredients in the air fryer, steam may escape from the pot.

10. Use appropriate utensils for transferring food to a plate.

11. When a batch of ingredients is ready, the air fryer is instantly ready for preparing another batch.49

8. Memory function: the appliance has a memory function. For example, if you select the chicken

wings menu for the right pot, and set the temperature to 190 °C and the time to 22 min, after the end of use, if the appliance is not powered off, the same settings will be applied when you select the right pot during next use, i.e., the chicken wings menu will be displayed directly, with temperature set at 190 °C and the time set at 22 min. The memory is cleared when the machine is powered off for 1 hour. If you power on the appliance after one hour and select the right pot, the initial state will be displayed.

9. Power off memory: If the appliance is accidentally powered off during use, it will return to the

settings active before the power failure, as long as power supply resumes within 30 minutes.53 Settings The table below will help you select the basic settings for the ingredients. Note: Keep in mind that these settings are indicative only. As ingredients differ in origin, size, shape, and brand, we cannot guarantee the best settings for your ingredients. Because the rapid air technology instantly reheats the air inside the appliance, briefly pulling the pot out of the appliance during hot air frying will barely disturb the process. Tips:

1. Smaller ingredients usually require a slightly shorter preparation time than larger ingredients.

2. A larger amount of ingredients only requires a slightly longer preparation time, a smaller amount

of ingredients only requires a slightly shorter preparation time.

3. Shaking smaller ingredients halfway through the preparation time optimizes the final result and

can help prevent unevenly fried ingredients.

4. Add some oil to fresh potatoes for a crispy result. Fry your ingredients in the air fryer within a few

minutes after you have added the oil.

5. Do not prepare extremely greasy ingredients such as sausages in the air fryer.

6. Snacks that can be prepared in an oven can also be prepared in the air fryer.

7. The optimal amount for preparing crispy fries is 500 grams.

8. Use pre-made dough to prepare filled snacks quickly and easily. Pre-made dough also requires a

shorter preparation time than home-made dough.

9. Place a baking tin or oven dish in the air fryer pot if you want to bake a cake or quiche or if you

want to fry delicate ingredients or dishes with filling or stuffing. Menu Reference weight (g) Default temperature (°C) Single pot time (min) Double pot time (min) Temperature range (°C) Time frame (min) Shake Frozen French fries Large

Note 1: Add 3 minutes to the preparation time when you start frying while the air fryer is still cold. Note 2:You can adjust the temperature or time according to the actual cooking effect when using two cooking pots at the same time. Cleaning Clean the appliance after every use. Do not use metal kitchen utensils or abrasive cleaning materials to clean the pot and the frying rack as this may damage the non-stick coating.

1. Remove the mains plug from the wall socket and let the appliance cool down.54

Note: Remove the pot to let the air fryer cool down more quickly.

2. Wipe the outside of the appliance with a moist cloth.

3. Clean the pots with hot water, some washing-up liquid, and a non-abrasive sponge.

You can use degreasing liquid to remove any remaining dirt. Tip: If dirt is stuck to the shelf (rack) or the bottom of the pot, fill the pot with hot water and some washing-up liquid. Put the frying rack in the pot and let the pot and the frying rack soak for approximately 10 minutes.

4. Clean the inside of the appliance with hot water and a non-abrasive sponge.

5. Clean the heating element with a cleaning brush to remove any food residues.

Troubleshooting Problem Possible cause Solution The appliance does not operate.

The appliance is not connected to the power mains.

Connect the power cord plug to a grounded power outlet. The ingredients fried with the air fryer are not done. Excessive amount of ingredients or ingredients are too large. Fill the pot with suggested amount of ingredients (of recommended size). The temperature is too low. Adjust the temperature accordingly. The appliance was not pre- heated. Set the time to required preparation time . The ingredients are fried unevenly. Certain types of ingredients need to be shaken halfway when cooking. Ingredients that lie on top of or across each other (e.g., fries) need to be shaken halfway through the preparation time. Fried snacks are not crispy when they come out of the air fryer. Used the type of snacks intended for preparation in a traditional deep fryer. Use oven snacks or lightly brush some oil onto the snacks for a crispier result. Cannot slide the pan into the appliance properly. Too much ingredients in the pot. Do not fill the pan beyond the MAX indication. The pot is not placed in the pot correctly. Push the pot down into the appliance until you hear a click. White smoke comes out of the appliance. Cooking greasy ingredients. When cooking greasy ingredients, a large amount of oil will leak into the pot. The oil produces white smoke, and the pot may heat up more than usual. This does not affect the appliance or the final result. The pot was not cleaned after the last cooking. White smoke is caused by grease heating up in the pan. Make sure you clean the pan properly after each use. Fresh fries are fried unevenly. Did not use the right potato type. Use fresh potatoes and make sure they stay firm during cooking. Did not rinse the potato sticks properly before cooking. Rinse the potato sticks properly to remove starch from the outside of the sticks. Fresh fries are not crispy. The crispiness of the fries depends on the amount of oil and water in the fries. Make sure you dry the potato sticks properly. Cut the potato sticks smaller for a crispier result. Brush some oil for a crispier result.55
