Tips

• To remove large or fragile ingredients, use tongs to lift them out of the basket.
• The cooking time depends on the size of your ingredients. Smaller sizes may require a shorter cooking time.
• A larger quantity of ingredients requires a slightly longer cooking time than a smaller quantity of ingredients.
• Shaking smaller ingredients halfway through cooking optimises the end result and can help prevent uneven cooking.
• For perfectly fluffy chips, it is recommended that potatoes are
  • parboiled before frying.
• Add a little oil to fresh potatoes for a crispy result. Fry your ingredients in the air fryer within a few minutes of adding the oil.
• The optimum amount for crispy chips is 500 grams.
• Be careful when using extremely fatty ingredients such as sausages in the fryer.
• Snacks that can be prepared in the oven can also be prepared in an air fryer.
• Pre-made dough is a quick and easy way to make filled snacks. Ready-made dough also takes less time to cook than homemade dough.
• Place a baking tray or ovenproof dish in the cooking basket of the air fryer. If you want to bake a cake or quiche, or if you want to fry delicate or stuffed ingredients.
• The air fryer can be used to reheat ingredients. To reheat ingredients, set the temperature to 150^ for up to 10 minutes.

• The grill plate can also become detached from the cooking basket and fall onto the food.
• When one batch of food is finished, the appliance is immediately ready to prepare another batch.
• Unplug the appliance when not in use.
