Frequently Asked Questions - HAF2100DCD HISENSE

How to use the Hisense HAF2100DCD fryer?

Place the rack in the basket, add the food, plug in the appliance, set the temperature and time using the buttons, then press the Start button. Cooking starts automatically. You can adjust settings during cooking.

Can I put oil in the basket?

No, this fryer uses hot air and does not require oil. Never fill the basket with oil or fat, as this could cause a fire.

Why is white smoke coming out of the appliance?

White smoke may appear when cooking fatty foods (e.g., sausages) or if the basket was not cleaned after the last use. Clean the basket after each use and reduce the amount of fatty foods.

How to clean the fryer?

Unplug the appliance and let it cool. Remove the basket and rack, wash them with hot water and dish soap using a non-abrasive sponge. Wipe the inside and outside with a damp cloth. Never immerse the main unit in water.

My fries are not crispy, what should I do?

Make sure to use fresh potatoes, rinse them to remove starch, and dry them well. Cut them into thinner strips and lightly brush them with oil for a crispier result.

Can I use frozen foods?

Yes, the 'Defrost' program is designed for frozen foods. For frozen fries, you can use the 'Fries' program directly, but the cooking time may be slightly longer.

How to set temperature and time manually?

Press the toggle button to select temperature or time setting, then use the +/- buttons to adjust. Temperature adjusts in 5°C steps (80-200°C) and time in 1-minute steps (1-60 min).

The appliance does not turn on, what should I do?

Check that the plug is properly inserted into a grounded outlet. Make sure the basket is correctly inserted (you should hear a click). If the problem persists, contact Hisense after-sales service.

What is the maximum capacity of the basket?

Do not fill the basket beyond the MAX mark. The optimal amount for crispy fries is 500 g, but you can cook up to 1.5 kg of food depending on the type.

How to use the preset programs?

Press the preset settings button to scroll through the 10 recipes (Fries, Chicken, etc.). Once the recipe is selected, the temperature and time are automatically set. You can modify them if needed before starting cooking.

Settings

The table below will help you select the basic settings for the ingredients.

Note: Keep in mind that these settings are indicative only. As ingredients differ in origin, size, shape, and brand, we cannot guarantee the best settings for your ingredients.

Because the rapid air technology instantly reheats the air inside the appliance, briefly pulling the pot out of the appliance during hot air frying will barely disturb the process.

Tips:

1. Smaller ingredients usually require a slightly shorter preparation time than larger ingredients.
2. A larger amount of ingredients only requires a slightly longer preparation time, a smaller amount of ingredients only requires a slightly shorter preparation time.
3. Shaking smaller ingredients halfway through the preparation time optimizes the final result and can help prevent unevenly fried ingredients.
4. Add some oil to fresh potatoes for a crispy result. Fry your ingredients in the air fryer within a few minutes after you have added the oil.
5. Do not prepare extremely greasy ingredients such as sausages in the air fryer.
6. Snacks that can be prepared in an oven can also be prepared in the air fryer.
7. The optimal amount for preparing crispy fries is 500 grams.
8. Use pre-made dough to prepare filled snacks quickly and easily. Pre-made dough also requires a shorter preparation time than home-made dough.
9. Place a baking tin or oven dish in the air fryer pot if you want to bake a cake or quiche or if you want to fry delicate ingredients or dishes with filling or stuffing.
