6. Preparing the air fry-er

Remove all packaging, stickers and plastic wrap from the appliance.
Place the appliance on a heat-resistant, dry and level surface.
▶ Pull the frying basket [7] out of the appliance.
- Rinse the frying basket [7] and the grill grid [8] with hot water. Dry both parts thoroughly.
▶ Take hold of the grill grid [8] by the hand holes and place it in the frying basket [7] horizontally on the base of the pan.
▶ Wipe the housing using a damp cloth.
▶ Only connect the air fryer to a properly installed, earthed and fused socket. The local mains voltage must match the voltage stated in the technical specifications for the appliance.

The air fryer emits an acoustic signal; all buttons and symbols light up briefly. The on/off button ⏻ [19] lights up permanently.

When using the appliance for the first time, odour or smoke may develop due to residues caused during manufacturing. However, this is not dangerous and will quickly disappear.

■ Allow the appliance to run at its highest temperature setting for approx. 30 minutes before first use.

7. Information regard- DE ing preparation

▶ Distribute the food evenly in the frying basket [7]. Only fill the frying basket [7] up to 75%.

Fig. 5 – Turning

To achieve optimal cooking results, shake the frying basket [7] (see Fig. 4) or turn the food (see Fig. 5) during the cooking time, especially when food is overlapping. Halfway through the cooking time, acoustic signals are emitted in selected programmes to remind you to redistribute the food.

▶ Check the food regularly throughout the cooking time to avoid burning the food.
▶ At the end of the cooking time, remove the food immediately to avoid burning the food.
When preparing fresh potatoes or fresh vegetables, use a small amount of cooking oil to make the food more crispy.
When preparing ready meals, observe the manufacturer's preparation instructions.

8. Operating the air fry- er

WARNING!

Risk of fire!

Cooking oil/fat and other liquids can catch fire as a result of the high temperatures of the hot air.

■ Do not fill the frying basket [7] with fat or oil as you would with a conventional fryer. Add only the appropriate small amount of cooking oil to the food, depending on the recipe.
■ Do not overfill the frying basket [7]. Ensure that the food does not touch the heating elements inside the appliance when the appliance is in use. Only fill the frying basket [7] up to 75%.

WARNING!

Risk of injury from hot surfaces!

The touchable surfaces on the appliance and accessories may become hot during operation.

As the ventilation grille on the side of the appliance becomes hot during operation, do not touch the ventilation grille when the appliance is in use in order to prevent burns.
■ During operation, touch the appliance only by the handle [5] and control elements!
■ Do not touch the frying chamber, the frying basket [7] or the heating elements.
■ Do not move the appliance while it is in use.
■ Do not move the appliance while it is hot, instead allow the appliance to cool down completely first.

■ Risk of burns from steam escaping when you remove the frying basket [7] during or after food preparation. Do not position your head directly above the appliance and do not touch the steam. Place the frying basket [7] on a heat-resistant surface if necessary.
■ The frying basket [7] becomes extremely hot when the appliance is in use. Do not touch. Use oven gloves.
■ The heating elements remain hot for some time after the appliance is switched off. Make sure that no one touches the frying chamber.

CAUTION!

Risk to health!

Baking, cooking or grilling at excessive temperatures may produce substances harmful to health. Acrylamide, which forms in charred or burnt food residues, can cause cancer.

■ Remove burnt residues from the food.
■ Do not brown the food excessively when baking or grilling.

▶ Use the frying basket handle [5] to pull the frying basket [7] out of the appliance.
▶ Fill the frying basket [7] with the food. For more information on the recommended fill levels, see the tables in sections "8.1. Setting an automatic programme" on page 143 and "8.5. Recommended settings" on page 146.
▶ Hold the frying basket [7] firmly by the frying basket handle [5] and push it from the front so that it is completely inside the appliance until it clicks into place.

10. Dehydrating

With dehydration, fruits and vegetables are dried at relatively low temperatures to make them suitable for storing.

10.1. Preparing food

▶ Only use fresh foods.
▶ Ensure that fruits and vegetables are ripe, but not overripe, and that they are not bruised or rotten. If necessary, generously cut off the rotten parts.

Clean the food thoroughly before the dehydration process. Observe good kitchen hygiene and always work with clean hands and utensils.

▶ Cut the food into uniformly sized pieces to ensure even dehydration.

▶ Use the same food where possible, because dehydration times may vary.

▶ Take into account that dehydration causes the food to shrink. As such, do not cut the food into pieces that are too small.

▶ Dehydrate the food immediately after its preparation.

▶ Fill the fryer pans only in one layer to ensure uniform air flow.

10.2. Dehydration settings

The dehydration periods in the following table are for guidance only. The actual dehydration period may vary depending on the size, quality of the pieces and the amount used.

13. Troubleshooting

The product left our warehouse in perfect condition. If you do, however, discover a problem, see if you can solve it by using the solutions offered in the following table. If you do not succeed, contact our customer service team.

Problem Possible cause Troubleshooting
The appliance is not working.	The mains plug [11] is not plugged into a socket.	• Only connect the appliance to a properly installed power socket.
	Incomplete entry. • Start	the cooking process by pressing the ➕ button [22] (see section “8. Operating the air fryer”).
The food is not cooked.	The fill level is too high.	• Only fill the frying basket [7] up to 75%.
	The cooking temperature is too low.	• Press the ➕ button [23] to increase the cooking temperature.
	The cooking time is too short.	• Press the ➕ button [18] again to extend the cooking time.
The food is not evenly cooked.	The pieces of food are too close together.	• Many foods need to be shaken/ turned several times during the cooking time.
		• Fill the frying basket [7] with small pieces of food. Smaller pieces cook more evenly.
The fried foods are not crisp enough.	The food is unsuitable for cooking in the air fryer.	• Use oven-ready or lightly oiled snacks for crispier results.
The appliance cannot be closed.	The frying basket [7] is too full.	• Only fill the frying basket [7] up to 75%.
White smoke comes out of the appliance.	The food is very fatty. • During preparation, fat from these extremely greasy foods drips onto the base of the frying basket [7]. The fat causes a higher temperature than usual to develop in the frying basket – this does not impair the appliance or the cooking result.
	The frying basket [7] and the grill grid [8] still have fat residue from the previous cooking process.	• Fat residue is burning. Clean the frying basket [7] and the grill grid [8] after each use.
Fresh chips are not evenly fried.	The chips have not been sufficiently soaked.	• Place the chips in cold water for around 30 minutes to remove the starch. Dry the chips using kitchen paper before adding to the fryer pan.
	The variety of potato is unsuitable.
Fresh chips do not go crisp.	The potatoes are too moist.	• The crispiness is dependent on the water and starch content of the variety of potato used and the quantity of oil.
		• Dry the potatoes carefully and cover them with about 1 table-spoon of cooking oil.
		• Cut the potatoes into smaller pieces.
The grill programmes are not displayed.	Temperature sensor is not plugged in	• Insert the temperature sensor into the connection socket.
