BEFORE FIRST USE

• Remove all packaging materials and stickers or labels.
• Clean the basket and frying plate with hot water, with some washing liquid and a non-abrasive sponge. These parts are dishwasher safe.
• Wipe the inside and outside of the appliance with a cloth.

USE

• Put the frying plate into the frying basket
• Place the ingredients in the basket and slide the basket back in.

Note : Never fill the basket with oil or any other liquid.

• Turn the temperature control knob (6) to the proper temperature.
• Turn the timer knob (5) to the required preparation time.
  • See section 'Settings' to determine the right time and temperature.

Add 2 minutes to preparation time if the appliance is cold.

Note: If you want, you can also preheat the appliance empty by turning the knobs on the desired temperature and on 2 min.

When the lights goes out (after about 2 minutes), fill the basket and turn the timer knob to the required preparation time.

• When heating, the green power-on light (4) and the red heating-up light (3) go on. During the hot air frying cooking, the heating-up light comes on and goes out from time to time: this indicates that the heating element is switched on and off to maintain the settled temperature.
• Some ingredients are best turned halfway during the preparation time: pull the basket out by the handle (2), turn the food with non-abrasive cooking tongs, then slide the basket back into the air fryer.
• When you hear the timer alert, the set preparation time has elapsed: remove the frying basket from the appliance using the handle, and place the basket on a heat-resistant support.

Note: You can also switch off the appliance manually before the end of the settled time by turning the temperature knob to 0.

• Check if the ingredients are ready. If not, simply slide the cooking basket back into the appliance and set the timer to a few extra minutes until the food is ready.
• When ready, remove ingredients using non-abrasive cooking tongs.

Note : Excess oil from the ingredients is collected on the bottom of the basket. : to avoid oil splatter, don't turn over the pan.

• The emptied air fryer is instantly ready for preparing another batch of ingredients.
