Note

• Keep in mind that these are just indications. As ingredients differ in origin, size, shape and brand, we cannot guarantee the best setting for the ingredients that you are using.
• Add approximately 1-2 minutes to the preparation time indicated in the chart if you start frying while the device is still cold.

Tips

- Smaller ingredients require shorter preparation time than the larger ones.

A larger quantity of ingredients only requires a slightly longer preparation time, and a smaller quantity of ingredients only requires a slightly shorter preparation time.
- Stirring small ingredients during the frying process optimises the result and can help preventing unevenly fried ingredients.
- Add a little oil to the natural potatoes for a crispier result.
- Do not use the device to fry greasy food (such as sausages).
- Food that can be cooked in an oven can also be cooked with the device.
- Pre-made dough requires a shorter preparation time than home-made dough.
- You can also use the device to re-heat Ingredients.

Temperature/time modification (4 and 7)

To change the temperature and time of the programmes, press the increase and decrease icons for each programme. The temperature is on the left side of the display and the time on the right side of the display.

Stirring food
