BEFORE INITIAL USE

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 and Storage" chapter).

SET-UP AND CONNECTION

Please Note!

• Do not place the device below kitchen 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).

• Place the device on the kitchen unit or another dry, clean, flat and heat-resistant work surface. Ensure there is sufficient clear space on all sides (at least 20 cm to the sides and 50 cm above).

• Completely unwind the connecting cable (2) and plug it into a properly installed plug socket that is easily accessible.
• Place the device on the kitchen unit or another dry, clean, flat and heat-resistant work surface. Ensure there is sufficient clear space on all sides (at least 20 cm to the sides and 50 cm above).
• Completely unwind the connecting cable (2) and plug it into a properly installed plug socket that is easily accessible.

ACCESSORIES

Drawer

The food is prepared in the drawer (4). It must be inserted in the main unit (7) 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.

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 without any food in the drawer.

■ 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. Do not exceed the MAX marking in the drawer.

- Fill the drawer no more than 23 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.

RECIPE IDEAS

Notes on Cooking Time and Cooking Temperature

Be aware that the specified cooking times and temperatures are averages. As ingredients differ due to their origin, size, shape and brand, we cannot guarantee the optimum setting for the ingredients. The actual cooking times may therefore vary depending on the portion size. Make sure prior to serving that the food, in particular poultry, is fully cooked through!

Homemade Chips

Ingredients:

Potatoes (waxy)

A little oil (if necessary)

To taste Salt

Preparation:

1. Peel the potatoes and cut them into sticks of equal size.
2. Thoroughly wash the potato sticks and then dry them off.
3. If necessary, add a little oil to the potatoes and mix in.

It is not essential to add oil. However, adding oil will make the chips crispier and give them a more intense flavour.

1. Start the "Chips" programme.
2. Mix around the chips after 8 minutes.
3. Cook for another 7 minutes.

The chips are cooked when they are golden brown.

Tips:

- Mix your favourite herbs and spices into the oil before adding it. This will allow you for example to prepare tasty curry or paprika-flavoured chips. There are no limits to your imagination.

• Depending on how thick you cut your potatoes, you can vary between potato wedges and thick or thin chips. The thicker the potatoes are cut, the longer the cooking time.
• Use waxy potatoes. Young potatoes contain more water and therefore take longer to cook and it is possible that they may not go as crispy.
• Wash the chopped-up potatoes with cold, clear water to remove any excess starch in the potatoes. IMPORTANT: Then thoroughly dry the potatoes. The less moisture is present, the crispier the chips will become.
• Preboiled potatoes will cook more evenly! Cut the potatoes into sticks and preboil them for around five minutes. This will prevent the chips from being crispy on the outside but not fully cooked on the inside.

Sweet Potato Chips

Ingredients:

Sweet potatoes (peeled)

To taste Sea salt

Preparation:

1. Cut the sweet potatoes into wafer-thin slices.
2. Add salt to the sweet potatoes to suit your taste. We recommend not using too much salt. You can add more salt later on if the chips are not salty enough.
3. Select the "Chips" programme and reduce the cooking time to 5 minutes.
4. When the cooking time is up, mix around the sweet potato chips.
5. Cook for another 5 minutes.

The sweet potato chips are cooked when they are golden brown.
