AUTOMATIC SHUTDOWN - PAUSE FUNCTION AFTER REMOVING THE CONTAINER

- It is recommended to stir/tum the food halfway through cooking for some dishes. At any time during operation, the frying container[s] can be removed.

- When the fryer is removed, the power to the fryer is automatically switched off and "Out" is displayed on the display of the removed fryer.

- After inserting the frying container back into the body of the appliance within 90 seconds, the fryer resumes its original settings.

- In Synchronous Prep or Synchronous Finish mode, both zones pause when one container is removed and the display of the removed container will show "Out". If the container is not reinserted within 90 seconds, the unremoved container will automatically resume operation after 90 seconds. The side of the removed container will not heat up and the synchronous functions will be inactive (the 5 or 7 icon will not light).

- If one or both containers are not reinserted within 5 minutes, the side without the container switches to standby mode (the display stops flashing and goes off after 5 minutes) and the side where the container has not been removed automatically resumes operation after 90 seconds.

Interior light on/off button

Pressing the on/off button for the internal lighting (6) illuminates the interior of the container, so that it is not necessary to remove the container to check the cooking process. Press the button (6) repeatedly to switch off the lighting.

Note: The fan icon lights up while the program is running. After the fan stops running, the fan icon will turn off.

Note: OFF

- You will be alerted 5 times with an audible signal when the set preparation time has elapsed. The fan continues to run for approximately 20 seconds after switching off and the display shows "Cool". After the fan stops running, the display shows "End" and after 5 minutes the appliance goes into standby mode (only the off/on icon is lit). Check that the food is ready. Remove the frying pan from the appliance and place it on a heat-resistant mat. Remove the food.

- Do not use sharp kitchen tools to avoid damaging the non-stick surface! If the food is not yet ready, simply slide the container back into the appliance and adjust the cooking time by a few extra minutes. The fryer can be used to prepare the next batch immediately. After switching off the appliance, disconnect it from the mains.

WARNING: Do not turn the frying pan upside down while the frying plate is still inside, as any excess oil that may have accumulated at the bottom of the pan will spill out onto the food and the hot frying plate may fall down!

Some ingredients have not been evenly fried.	Some ingredients must be shaken or mixed during preparation.	The ingredients in the fryer must be shaken or mixed, during, frying.
After removing from the fryer, the food is not crispy.	The relevant type of food is only intended for use in classic fryers.	Spraying foods with a small amount of oil can increase crispiness.
The frying pan cannot be inserted properly into the fryer.	The fryer is too full. Do not fill the container more than the "MAX" mark inside the container.
	The frying plate is not inserted correctly in the container.	Push the frying plate onto the bottom of the container until the silicone feet touch the bottom.
White smoke comes out of the fryer.	Fatty ingredients are being fried.	When frying fatty ingredients, much oil in the fryer comes into the containers. The oil generates white smoke and the containers can heat up more than usually.
	Rest of the fat from recent use of the fryer still remaining on the containers.	White smoke has been caused by heating up the fat in a container. Clean the glass container thoroughly after each use.
Raw potato fries are fried unevenly in the fryer.	Inappropriate potato type used. Use fresh potatoes.
	The raw potato fries were not properly rinsed.	Rinse the raw potato fries properly to remove the starch before frying.
Raw potato fries are not crispy when removed from the fryer.	The crispiness of the fries depends on the amount of oil and water in the fries.	Before adding the oil, remember dry the raw potato fries.
		To make the fries crispier, cut them into smaller into smaller pieces.
		Add oil to have the chips more crispy.
