* Shake at least half way through cooking.

Tips: in order to improve the cooking result, do not hesitate to shake 2-3 times when cooking.

IMPORTANT: To avoid damaging your appliance, never exceed the maximum quantities of Ingredients and liquids indicated in the instruction manual and in the recipes.

"place the cake tin/oven dish in the bowl.

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 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 1 500 grams.
• Use ready-made puff and short crust pastry to make filled snacks quickly and easily.
• Place an oven dish in the appliance's basket 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, aluminum, 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.
