BEFORE FIRST USE

1. Remove all packaging material and any stickers from the appliance.
2. Thoroughly clean the bowl and the removable 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.

COOKING GUIDE

The table below helps you to select the basic settings for the food you want to prepare. Note: The cooking times below are only a guide and may vary according to the variety and batch of potatoes used. For other food, the size, shape, and brand may affect results. Therefore, you may need to adjust the cooking time slightly.

* Shake at least halfway 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 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 400 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 or filled ingredients. You can use an oven dish made of silicone, stainless steel, aluminium, or terracotta.
• You can also use the appliance to reheat food. To reheat, set the temperature to 160°C for up to 10 minutes. Cooking time may be adjusted depending on the quantity of food to ensure it is fully reheated.

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 chips of equal thickness.
2. Soak the potato chips in cold water for at least 30 minutes, then drain and dry them with a clean, highly absorbent tea towel. Then pat them with paper kitchen towel. The chips must be thoroughly dry before cooking.
3. Pour 1 tablespoon of oil (vegetable, sunflower, or olive) into a dry bowl, add 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 appliance's bowl.

Note: Do not tip the container of oil-coated chips directly into the bowl all at once, 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 non-stick 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.

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.
3. Do not immerse the appliance in water or any other liquid.

According to Rule 2, such lines must be ignored by the OCR result. The provided OCR content is "____", which consists of underscores. Underscores are not equivalent to a solid line and are not permitted under the "Stylistic/Background Lines (Ignore)" rule. Outputting underscores for a stylistic line is incorrect because it misinterprets the line as a fill-in-the-blank placeholder. Since the OCR output incorrectly rendered a stylistic line as underscores (which should be ignored), this violates the rule.
