Frequently Asked Questions - Easy Fry Dual Flex EZ9228 MOULINEX

What foods can I cook with the Easy Fry Dual Flex?

You can cook a wide variety of foods: fries frozen or homemade, meats and poultry (steaks, chicken, wings), fish (salmon, shrimp), vegetables, snacks (nuggets, pizza), and even pastries (muffins, cakes, brioches). The automatic modes make cooking easy.

How to use SYNC mode?

The SYNC mode allows you to cook two different foods in the two zones and have them finish at the same time. Place the divider, select the modes for each zone, then press SYNC. The appliance delays the start of the shorter program (showing HOLD) to synchronize the cooking finishes.

How to clean my air fryer?

After cooling, clean the exterior with a damp cloth. The basket and racks are dishwasher safe. The exterior plastic window must be removed and hand washed to preserve its appearance. Avoid metal utensils and abrasive products to protect the non-stick coating.

Can I put the basket in the dishwasher?

Yes, the basket and racks are dishwasher safe. However, the exterior plastic window is not; wash it by hand with a soft sponge.

What is the maximum amount of fries I can cook?

The optimal amount for crispy fries is 1200 g. In MEGA mode (entire basket), you can cook up to 1750 g of fries. In zone 1, up to 1400 g, and in zone 2, up to 800 g.

How to set the temperature manually?

Press the MANUAL mode, then use the + and - keys on the touch screen to set the temperature from 35°C to 200°C. Then set the cooking time from 0 to 60 minutes with the same keys, then press the start button.

What if my food is not cooked enough?

After the cooking cycle, check the doneness. If the food is not cooked enough, simply put the basket back in the appliance and add a few extra minutes by setting the timer. You can also increase the temperature depending on the food type.

Can I reheat food?

Yes, you can reheat food in the appliance. Set the temperature to 160°C for a maximum of 10 minutes. Preferably use manual mode.

How does MEGA mode work?

The MEGA mode uses the entire basket without the divider, allowing you to cook larger quantities. To activate it, press the MEGA key after turning on the appliance. You can then choose an automatic or manual mode. The maximum capacity is 1750 g depending on the food.

How to remove the basket divider?

The divider is removable and can be taken out easily by pulling it upwards from the inner slots of the basket. To use it, insert it into the slots. Be sure to wash it by hand or in the dishwasher according to the instructions.

BEFORE FIRST USE

1. Remove all packaging material.
2. Remove any stickers from the appliance (for example, the sticker on the drawer).
3. Thoroughly clean the drawer and removable grids with hot water, some washing-up liquid, and a non-abrasive sponge.

The drawer and the grids are dishwasher safe.

Warning: For the window, it is important to remove the outer plastic window and wash it by hand to preserve the original appearance. The outer plastic window is not dishwasher safe.

The other parts are dishwasher safe.

1. Wipe the inside and outside of the appliance with a damp cloth. The appliance works by producing hot air. Do not fill the drawer with oil or frying fat.

PREPARING FOR USE

1. Place the appliance on a flat, stable, heat-resistant work surface away from water splashes.
2. Do not fill the drawer with oil or any other liquid.

Do not put anything on top of the appliance. This disrupts the airflow and affects the hot air frying result.

en

IMPORTANT: To prevent the appliance from overheating, do not place it in a corner or below a wall cupboard. A gap of at least 15 cm should be left around the appliance to allow air to circulate.

1. Press the Start/Stop button to switch on the appliance.
2. Fries mode is displayed as default for zone 1 while OFF is displayed on the screen for zone 2.
3. Any zone can be activated for selection by pressing the '1' or '2' button. (To cancel the selection, press the '1' or '2' button again; the zone will be OFF and cancelled). An orange light on the screen indicates your selection.

Note: Never exceed the maximum amount indicated in the table (see section 'Cooking Guide'), as this could affect the quality of the end result.

1. Always place the grids in the drawer before cooking for optimal cooking results.

USING BOTH ZONES ON SYNCHRONISATION MODE (DUAL COOKING)

Cook 2 different types of food at the same time thanks to both zones, the divider, and SYNC Mode.

1. Place the divider in the inner slots of the drawer.
2. Press the Start/Stop button to switch on the appliance. Fries mode is displayed as default for zone 1 while OFF is displayed on the screen for zone 2.
3. Press the desired cooking mode and adjust timing and temperature if different from the pre-set settings (by pressing + and -). The settings are saved.
4. Place your first food in zone 1 (left zone). Slide the drawer back into the appliance.
5. To activate zone 2, press '2'.
6. Press the second desired cooking mode and adjust timing and temperature if different from the pre-set settings (by pressing + and -).
7. Place your second food in zone 2 (right zone). Slide the drawer back into the appliance.
8. Press SYNC to get the two foods ready at the same time. If the two cooking modes selected have different cooking times, 'HOLD' appears on the screen for the shortest cooking mode (for the food that needs less time to cook). This means the appliance delays the cooking start to have both types of food ready at the same time.
9. Press Start/Stop to begin cooking.
10. The appliance beeps when the food is ready, at the same time.

Note: The light inside the drawer switches ON during the entire cooking process, except for the PROVE program.

1. When the food is cooked, take out the drawer. To remove food, use a pair of tongs to lift the food out of the drawer.

Caution: After hot frying, the grids and the food are very hot.

Note: During cooking, if you remove the drawer and do not slide it back within 5 minutes, the drawer panel will display 'OFF'.

USING THE LARGE DRAWER OF THE APPLIANCE (MEGA)

If the food is not ready yet, simply slide the drawer back into the appliance and set the timer for a few extra minutes.

TIPS

- Smaller foods usually require a slightly shorter cooking time than larger size foods.

- Shaking smaller size foods halfway through the cooking time improves the end result and can help prevent uneven cooking.

• To make your potatoes extra crispy, try adding a small amount of oil before cooking and shake to evenly cover. We recommend 14ml of oil (1 tablespoon).

- Snacks that can be cooked in an oven can also be cooked in the appliance.

- The optimal recommended quantity for cooking fries is 1,200 grams.

- Use ready-made puff and shortcrust pastry to make filled snacks quickly and easily.

- Place an oven dish in the appliance's bowl if you want to bake a cake or quiche or if you want to fry delicate ingredients or filled ingredients. You can use an oven dish in silicone, stainless steel, aluminium, or terracotta.

- You can also use the appliance to reheat food. To reheat food, set the temperature to 160°C for up to 10 minutes. Cooking time could be adjusted depending on food quantity in order to fully reheat the food.

Clean the appliance after every use.

The drawer and the grids have a non-stick coating. Do not use metal kitchen utensils or abrasive cleaning materials to clean them, as this may damage the non-stick coating.
