Frequently Asked Questions - Easy Fry Max EZ245H MOULINEX

Do I need to add oil to the basket?

No, the appliance works with hot air. Never fill the basket with oil or fat. You can add a tablespoon of oil to the food before cooking for extra crispiness.

How to clean the basket and rack?

Let the appliance cool down, remove the basket and rack. Wash them with hot water and mild detergent with a non-abrasive sponge. They are also dishwasher safe. Do not use abrasive products or metal utensils to preserve the non-stick coating.

Can I cook frozen foods directly?

Yes, the appliance is perfect for frozen foods like fries, nuggets, or vegetables. Simply adjust the cooking time according to the settings chart. No need to defrost.

How to choose the right automatic program?

Press the mode selection button, then navigate with the arrows to the desired program (e.g., Fries, Steak, etc.). You can then adjust time and temperature if needed. The program starts automatically.

Do I need to preheat the appliance?

Preheating is not necessary. The appliance heats up quickly once cooking starts. For best results, insert food directly into the cold basket.

Why are my fries not crispy?

Make sure not to exceed the recommended quantity (800 g max). Shake the fries halfway through for even cooking. Add a tablespoon of oil and mix well before cooking. Use frying potatoes.

Can I use a glass or silicone dish in the basket?

Yes, you can place an oven-safe dish (silicone, stainless steel, aluminum, earthenware) in the basket to bake cakes, quiches, or delicate foods. Do not fill the dish more than halfway if the preparation rises.

What to do if the appliance stops during cooking?

Check that the basket is properly inserted: the appliance stops automatically if the basket is removed. Also check that the time has not elapsed. If the appliance overheats, let it cool down and ensure 15 cm of free space around.

TIPS

- Smaller food will require a slightly shorter cooking time than larger size food. If you are unsure, you can open the bowl at any point of cooking to check progress.

- Shaking food 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 14 ml of oil.

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

• The optimal recommended quantity for cooking fries is 700 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 silicon, stainless steel, aluminium, 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.

MAKING HOME-MADE CHIPS

If you want to make home-made chips, follow the steps below.

1. Choose a variety of potato recommended for making chips. Peel the potatoes and cut them into equal thickness chips.

2. Soak the potato chips in cold water for at least 30 minutes, drain them and dry them with a clean, highly absorbent tea towel. Then pat with paper kitchen towel. The chips must be thoroughly dry before cooking.

3. Pour 1 tablespoon of oil (vegetable, sunflower or olive) in a dry bowl, put the chips on top and mix until they are coated with oil.

4. Remove the chips from the bowl with your fingers or a kitchen utensil so that any excess oil stays behind in the bowl. Place the chips in the bowl.

Note: Do not tip the container of oil coated chips directly into the bowl in one go, otherwise excess oil will end up at the bottom of the bowl.

1. Fry the chips according to the instructions in the section Cooking guide.

CLEANING

Clean the appliance after every use.

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

1. Remove the mains plug from the wall socket and let the appliance cool down. Note: Remove the bowl to let the appliance cool down more quickly.

2. Wipe the outside of the appliance with a damp cloth.

3. Clean the bowl and grid with hot water, some washing-up liquid and a non-abrasive sponge. You can use a degreasing liquid to remove any remaining dirt.
