BEFORE FIRST USE

Read the safety instructions and manual first and keep them in a safe place.

1. Remove all packaging material and any stickers from the appliance.
2. Do not remove silicon pads off the grid.
3. Thoroughly clean the bowl and the removable grill grid with hot water, some washing-up liquid and a non-abrasive sponge.

Note: the bowl and the grid 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 bowl (A) 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. Insert the grid at the bottom of the bowl, up to the stop.
3. Do not fill the bowl 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.

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

USING THE APPLIANCE

The appliance can cook a large range of recipes. Cooking times for the main types of food are given in the section 'Cooking Guide'. Online recipes help you get to know the appliance.

1. Connect the power supply cord to an electrical socket.
2. Place the food in the bowl.

Note: Never fill the bowl beyond the MAX level mark or exceed the maximum amount indicated in the table (see into section 'Cooking Guide'), as this could affect the quality of the end result.

In this case, turn the timer knob to more than 3 minutes and wait until the heating-up light goes out (after approx. 3 minutes). Then fill the bowl and turn the timer knob to the required cooking time (see Cooking Guide for timings).

IMPORTANT: To avoid damaging your appliance, never exceed the maximum quantities of ingredients and liquids indicated in the instruction manual and in the recipes. When you use mixtures that rise (such as with cake, quiche or muffins) the oven dish should not be filled more than halfway.

TIPS

• Smaller food usually requires a slightly shorter cooking time than larger size foods. 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 fresh potatoes extra crispy, try adding a small amount of oil before cooking and shake to evenly cover. We recommend 14ml of oil. Do not add oil to frozen potatoes.
  • 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.

7

1. 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.
2. 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.

Note: Remove the bowl to let the appliance cool down more quickly.

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

Note: the bowl and the grid are dishwasher safe.

Tip: If food debris/residue is stuck at the bottom of the bowl and the grid, fill them with hot water and some washing-up liquid. Let the bowl and the grid soak for approximately 10 minutes. Then rinse clean and dry.

1. Wipe inside of the appliance with hot water and a damp cloth.
2. Clean the heating element with a dry, cleaning brush to remove any food residues.
