Frequently Asked Questions - AAF5B AEG

How to clean the AEG AAF5B air fryer?

Unplug the appliance and let it cool down. The drawer and basket can be washed in the dishwasher or with warm water and dish soap. Wipe the exterior with a soft cloth. Never immerse the appliance in water.

Can you use oil with the air fryer?

Yes, but in very small amounts. The fryer uses hot air to cook food. Add a maximum of one tablespoon of oil for crispy results. Excess oil may cause smoke.

What to do if white smoke comes out of the appliance?

White smoke may be caused by overly fatty foods or a dirty drawer/basket. Clean the appliance thoroughly after each use and avoid very fatty foods. If the problem persists, check that the heating element is not dirty.

How to preheat the AEG AAF5B air fryer?

Select the Oven function (preheat). The appliance heats to the desired temperature, then the timer starts. To skip preheating, press Start/Pause.

What is the maximum capacity for fries?

For frozen fries, the maximum capacity is 800 g. Do not exceed the MAX line in the basket.

How to shake food during cooking?

The appliance beeps and the Shake reminder icon flashes. Remove the drawer, shake the food with a wooden spoon (or shake the basket) without pressing the release button, then replace.

What does error code E1 or E2 on the screen mean?

E1 indicates a thermostat problem (cut or disconnection), E2 a thermostat short circuit. These errors require repair by an authorized after-sales service. Do not attempt to repair yourself.

Are spare parts available for this model?

Yes, you can order parts (basket, drawer, heating element) from AEG customer service or on the website www.aeg.com/shop. Repair should be carried out by a professional.

How to use

2. Pull out the pan and place it on a stable surface.
3. Put the food in the basket, observing the "MAX" capacity indication.

1. Plug in the appliance.
2. Press the On/Off button.
3. Select the desired cooking method. For example, Air Fry function.
4. Adjust the time and temperature to your taste or select one of the pre-set recipes. For example, French Fries.
5. Press the Play/Pause button.

10. Depending on the type of ingredient, flip the food mid-cooking or every 7 minutes by using a heat-resistant tool or by just carefully shaking the food inside the basket. (see Cooking Guide). CAUTION: Be careful not to press the "Basket Release Button" when shaking the food. CAUTION: Be careful with hot surfaces when the appliance is in use.

11. At the end of the cooking time, the appliance will issue a beep signal. 12. Carefully remove the pan and place it on a heat-resistant surface. 13. To remove the basket from the pan, follow these instructions:

CAUTION: Hot steam can come out of the basket when it is opened mid or at the end of cooking. Make sure your face, arms and hands are away from the steam when opening it.

1. Unplug the appliance after using it.
2. The versatile MultiCoaster fits on top of the air fryer as a space-saving hotplate for the cooking basket or resting place for tools and spices when cooking. It's also removable to use at the table when serving food from the hot basket.* * Accessories may vary from model to model. NOTE: Be careful with oil to avoid stains on the cork material.

Heating-up indicator

The "Heating-up indicator" is activated when the "Bake function" is selected, and it works as a pre-heat function so that the air fryer has the ideal temperature before cooking your favorite baked recipes.

The timer only starts to count down once the pre-heating has finished. If wished, you can skip the pre-heating step by tapping the 'Play/Pause' button. The display will then show the target temperature, while the "Heating up indicator" icon will turn off and the timer will start to count down.

Shake Reminder

The "Shake Reminder" is activated during the pre-sets of some recipes, such as French Fries/Frozen Snacks, Vegetables and Chicken. When it is time to shake or flip your food, the "Shake Reminder" icon will light up and blink for one minute, while a beep sound will repeat for three times.

The "Shake Reminder" is not mandatory, hence the cooking will continue as usual even if the food is not flipped or shaken.
