■ Use only original accessories from the manufacturer in order to guarantee that there is no interference that may prevent the device from working and to avoid possible damage.

- Do not use metal kitchen utensils or other sharp-edged objects to turn and remove the food. They could damage the coating.

BEFORE INITIAL USE

Please Note!

■ The device should be used for the first time without any food in it as it may produce some smoke or odours due to coating residues.

1. Allow the device to heat up for approx. 10 minutes without any food in it. To do this, follow the instructions in the "Set-Up and Connection" and "Use" chapters.
2. Wipe down the device with a clean, damp cloth. Clean the drawer (7) and insert rack (5) with detergent and warm water. Then clean it again (see the "Cleaning and Storage" chapter).

ACCESSORIES

Drawer

The food is prepared in the drawer (7). It must be inserted in the cooking chamber (4) when the device is put into operation.

Insert Rack

The insert rack (5) should be inserted in the drawer (7) when the device is in use so that the air circulation function is not impaired. When you insert it, make sure that the arrows marked on the insert rack and in the drawer (Picture A) are aligned.

A small casserole or baking tin can also be placed on the insert rack for baking.

SET-UP AND CONNECTION

Please Note!

• Check the device and the connecting cable for damage each time before putting it into operation. The device should only be used when it is undamaged and in working order.
  ■ Never place the device on a soft surface. The ventilation openings on the bottom of the device must not be covered.
  ■ Ensure there is sufficient clear space on all sides. Do not place the device below kitchen wall units or similar cupboards. The rising steam could cause damage to them!
  ■ Only connect the device to a plug socket that is properly installed and matches the technical data of the device. The plug socket must also be readily accessible after connection so that the connection to the mains can quickly be isolated.
  ■ Do not use any extension cables.

• Place the device on the kitchen unit or another dry, clean, flat and heat-resistant work surface. Ensure there is sufficient clear space on all sides (at least 20 cm to the sides and 50 cm above).

• Fully unwind the connecting cable and plug the mains plug into a plug socket.

USE

This device operates with hot air. It is not a conventional fryer in which food is deep-fried using lots of oil! In general, you can use this device to prepare all dishes that can also be prepared in a conventional fan oven. For good results, read through the "Tips" chapter.

Please Note!

- Do not place food that is still wrapped in cling film or plastic bags in the device.

■ Make sure that the food does not come into contact with the heating element of the device.
■ Make sure that foodstuffs containing oil and fats are not overheated. They could ignite.
- Do not overfill the drawer so that the hot air can circulate optimally inside the cooking chamber. Fill it no more than half full.
■ Always place down the drawer and the insert rack if applicable on a heat-resistant surface after use.
- Do not use the device if it has malfunctioned, fallen or been dropped into water. Have it checked in a specialist workshop before using it again.

1. Get ready the food that is to be prepared.
2. Place the insert rack (5) in the drawer (7).
3. Place the food in the drawer.
4. Slide the drawer all the way into the cooking chamber (4).
5. Set the time you want using the control dial (8) (1 - 60 minutes). The device will start the heating process. Once the set time has elapsed, a beep sounds and the device switches off automatically.
6. Pull the drawer out of the cooking chamber by the handle (6) and place it down on a heat-resistant surface.

The heating process stops if the drawer is removed from the cooking chamber during the cooking time. However, the timer will continue to count down.

The heating process starts again during the timer time when the the drawer is pushed all the way back into the cooking chamber.

1. Take the food out of the drawer.
2. Allow the device and accessories to cool down and then clean them (see the "Cleaning and Storage" chapter).

TIPS

• Generally no oil or only a small amount of oil (2 to 3 teaspoons) is required for preparing food.
• The cooking time is dependent on the size and quantity of the food and on the temperature. However, in general the cooking time is shorter than in a conventional oven. Start with a shorter cooking time and gradually increase it if required.
• Mix the food around from time to time or turn it using plastic or wooden tongs to obtain an even cooking result.
• Check the condition of the food in between times and, if it is cooked, switch off the device, even if the specified cooking time has not yet finished.
• When preparing mass-produced frozen products, you should follow the times and temperatures specified by the manufacturer. Before the specified cooking time elapses, check whether the food is already cooked through.

CLEANING AND STORAGE

Please Note!

■ Never spray hot water onto the hot accessories to prevent material damage.

■ Do not use any sharp or abrasive cleaning agents or cleaning pads to clean the device. These may damage the surfaces.

Clean the drawer (7), the insert rack (5) and if necessary the main unit (3) after every use to prevent germ formation and to prevent food residues from burning. Do not allow any food residues to dry on.

1. Make sure that the device has been disconnected from the mains power.

2. Wipe down the outside of the main unit and the cooking chamber (4) and the heating element with a clean, damp cloth if necessary. Do not clean in the dishwasher or immerse in water!

3. Clean the drawer and insert rack with detergent and warm water or in the dishwasher.
   To maintain the quality of the parts for as long as possible, they should preferably be rinsed by hand.
   In the case of stubborn dirt, soak in warm water and detergent beforehand.

4. Allow all parts to dry completely or dry them off.
5. Store the device and the accessories in a clean, dry place which is not accessible to children and animals.

DISPOSAL

Dispose of the packaging material in an environmentally friendly manner so that it can be recycled.

The adjacent symbol (crossed-out bin underlined) means that used devices should not be disposed of in the domestic waste, but should instead be taken to special collection and return systems.

Owners of used devices from private households can take them free of charge to the collection points of the public waste disposal authorities or the disposal points which are set up by manufacturers and distributors under the Electrical Equipment Act so that they can be disposed of in an environmentally friendly way and valuable raw materials can be recovered. If they are not disposed of properly, toxic ingredients may escape into the environment and cause harm to the health of humans, animals and plants. Businesses which market electrical and electronic devices are also obliged to take back used devices.

Waste prevention makes an even more valuable contribution to protecting the environment. This means if possible, as well as continuing to use or repair a device yourself, passing it on to another user also represents an ecologically beneficial alternative to disposal.
