- Use appliance on a table or flat surface. Keep the product away from curtains, wall coverings, clothing, dishtowels, or other flammable materials.

- Do not plug or unplug the product from the electrical outlet with a wet hand.

- This product is intended solely for non-commercial, non-industrial, household use in cooking of food for human consumption; do not use the product outdoors or for any other purpose.

- Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter where it may be tripped over or pulled. Do not allow cord to touch hot surfaces. Do not apply stress on the power cord where it connects to the product, as the power cord could fray and break.

- Do not operate the product if it has a damaged or cut Power Cord or plug, if wires are exposed, if it malfunctions, if it is dropped or damaged, or if the Motor Housing is dropped in or exposed to water.

- Do not attempt to examine or repair this product yourself. Please review the Warranty Policy on Page 8.

SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS:

A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the risk of becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. An extension cord is not recommended for use with this product, but if one must be used:

• The marked electrical rating must be at least as great as that of the product.
• If the product is of a 3-prong grounding type, the extension cord must be a grounding-type 3-wire cord.
• Arrange the extension cord so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be tripped over or pulled.

WARNING: This product is equipped with a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other blade) to reduce the risk of electrical shock. This is a safety feature. The plug will fit into a polarized outlet only one way. If you are unable to insert the plug into the electrical outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Never use the plug with an extension cord unless you can fully insert the plug into the extension cord. Do not alter the plug. Do not attempt to defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.

Before First Use

IMPORTANT: Please check all packaging material carefully before discarding as there may be accessory parts contained within the packaging material.

WARNING: Do not place any part of the product in a dishwasher.

1. Make sure the Fryer is unplugged.
2. To remove any dust that may have accumulated, wash the Fryer Basket with warm soapy water and dry thoroughly. Wipe the interior and exterior of the Fryer with a damp towel. Dry thoroughly.

Note: NEVER immerse the fryer body, cord, or plug in water.

Using Your Fryer:

Attention: First use may cause a slight odor or small smoking upon heating, it is normal. This is a result of the heating element chemical reaction. It quickly goes away.

Note: This is an air fryer that works on hot air. Do not fill the pan with oil or frying fat.

1. Turn the thermostat (1) and the timer (4) to the "OFF" position.
2. Remove the pan (7) and the basket (6) by lifting them from the air fryer by the handle (9).
3. Place the food in the basket (6).
4. Insert the pan (7) and basket (6) into the air fryer.
   WARNING: Never use the pan without the basket in it.
5. Insert the mains plug into a socket that is always easily accessible.
6. Set the thermostat (1) to the desired temperature.

Note: If you want, you can also let the appliance preheat without any ingredients inside. In that case, turn the timer knob to more than 3 minutes and wait until the heating-up light goes out (after approx. 3 minutes). Then fill the basket and turn the timer knob to the required preparation time.

1. Set the timer (4) to the desired time.
2. The air fryer then switches itself on. The power LED (5) lights up in operating mode. Once the set temperature is reached, the temperature control LED (3) also lights up.
3. The air fryer switches off automatically upon expiry of the time indicated by the timer (4). A beep sounds once the timer (4) has reached the "OFF" position. You can also manually turn the timer (4) back to the "OFF" position to switch off the air fryer directly.
4. Then remove your food by lifting the pan (7) up by the handle (9).

Note: Some food should be shaken halfway through the cooking time to ensure that it is cooked evenly. To do so, set the timer (4) to half the cooking time. Thus, a beep sounds when you need to shake the food. Lift the pan (7) and basket (6) by the handle (9) from the air fryer and shake the food. Then reinsert the pan (7) and basket (6) into the air fryer. Once the pan (7) and basket (6) are correctly reinserted, set the timer (4) to the remaining cooking time to complete the full cooking time.

Cleaning Your Fryer:

⚠️ Remove the plug from the socket before cleaning as there is a risk of an electric shock!

⚠️ Wait until the air fryer has cooled down completely (30mins). Otherwise, there is a risk of burns!

• The air fryer itself must not be immersed in water as there is a risk of an electric shock!
• The pan (7) and the basket (6) can be removed for cleaning. First, remove large remaining food particles.
• The pan (7) and basket (6) can then be cleaned in a basin of warm water and washing-up liquid. Rinse the pan (7) and basket (6) with clear water afterwards and dry them completely before inserting them again. Never use a wire brush or other abrasive objects. Note: The pan (7) and basket (6) are also dishwasher-proof.
• Use a slightly damp cloth to clean the inner and outer surfaces and never use any solvent or cleaner that would corrode the plastic materials.

Recipes

Tip: A variety of pre-made packaged foods can be cooked in the Air fryer. As a guide, lower the conventional oven temperature by 70 degrees and reduce the cooking time by half. Exact times and temperatures will vary by food.

Homemade Thick Cut Fries:

Ingredients:

500g large, waxy potatoes

12 tbsp. cooking oil (such as olive oil)

• Peel the potatoes and cut into long 8mm-thick sticks.
• Soak the potato sticks in water for at least 30 minutes. Then drain them thoroughly and dry them with kitchen paper.
• Preheat the air fryer to 300^ F. Dip the potato sticks carefully in oil in a large bowl and place them in the basket (6).
• Insert the pan (7) and basket (6) into the air fryer and set the timer (4) to 5 minutes. Pre-fry the chips (potato sticks) until they are cooked and crispy; then let them cool.
• Now increase the temperature of the air fryer to 392^ F. Reinsert the pan (7) and basket (6) with the chips into the air fryer and set the timer (4) to 12-16 minutes. Fry the chips (potato sticks) until they are golden brown. We recommend that you shake the chips after 1/3 and 2/3 of the cooking time to ensure that they are cooked evenly.

Stuffed Puff pastry

Ingredients:

200g (frozen or chilled) ready-made puff pastry

2 tbsp. milk

Filling:

• Apple and cinnamon:
• Mix half an apple cut into small pieces with
• 12 tbsp. sugar,
• 1 teaspoon of grated orange zest and
• 1 teaspoon of cinnamon.

- Preheat the air fryer to 392^ .

- Cut the dough into 16 squares of 5 x 5cm in size and place a heaped teaspoon of filling on each square.

- Fold the squares into triangles and moisten the edges with a little water. Press the edges together firmly with a fork.

- Place eight appetizers in the basket (6) and glaze with milk. Insert the pan (7) and basket (6) into the air fryer and set the timer (4) to 10 minutes. Fry the appetizers until they are golden brown.

- Fry the remaining appetizers in the same manner. Serve the puff pastry appetizers on a platter.
