intended use

Use this air fryer to cook meat, vegetables and crumbed foods (such as cheese or chicken). This appliance is designed for domestic use only and must not be used for commercial purposes. Any other use may cause damage to the appliance or cause injury.

Your appliance has a second heating element located underneath the drip tray, so cooking is more even. Choose from 12 programmes, including Keep warm and Reheat functions.

Use the separator to switch from a large 11 L zone to 2 x 5.5 L compartments.

unpacking

• Unpack the appliance and inspect it. Remove the packaging and all labels from the appliance, with the exception of the nameplate. Check that it is complete and in good condition. If the appliance is damaged or faulty, do not use it and return it to your retailer or customer service.
• Keep all packaging out of the reach of children. There is a risk of accidents if children play with the packaging materials.

before fi rst use

• Thoroughly wash the basket, the cooking racks and the separator with a soft sponge and hot, soapy water. Rinse with clean water, then dry carefully with a dishcloth. Alternatively, wash them in the dishwasher.
• Wipe the inside and outside of the appliance with a damp cloth.

set-up

1. Place the base of the appliance close to a mains socket, on a fl at, stable, heat-resistant surface. Make sure you leave enough ventilation space around the appliance, particularly at the rear, where the air outlet grille is located.

2. Insert the cooking racks into the basket.

• This air fryer works with hot air and without oil. Do not fill the basket with oil or any other liquid.
• Do not place anything on top of the appliance as this will disturb the air circulation and affect the hot-air cooking results.

fi rst use

The first time you use it, you may experience a slight release of smoke and odours. This is completely normal and will quickly disappear.

use

1. Connect the mains plug to an earthed wall socket.
2. Gently pull the basket out of the air fryer.
3. Remove or install the separator by sliding it upwards or downwards. The separator allows you to cook different foods simultaneously under identical conditions (same temperature, same time) or not, depending on your needs.
4. Place the ingredients on the cooking racks.
5. Slide the basket back into the air fryer.

• Warning: do not touch the basket during use and for some time after use, as it becomes very hot. Hold the basket by the handle only.
• Determine the cooking time and temperature for the ingredients and select them on the control panel (see "Preparation tips" and "Programming").
• Some ingredients need to be shaken halfway through the cooking time (see the "Preparation tips" paragraph). To shake the ingredients, take the basket out of the appliance by the handle and shake it. Then slide the basket back into the air fryer.
• When a signal sounds, this means that the set cooking time has elapsed. Remove the basket from the appliance and place it on the worktop.
• Check whether the ingredients are ready. If they are not, simply place the basket back in the appliance and add a few minutes to the timer.
• To remove the ingredients (such as chips), take the basket out of the air fryer, place it on a work surface and use tongs to remove the food.

WARNINGS!

• Do not turn the basket upside down with the metal rack in place, as any excess oil that has accumulated at the bottom of the basket may spill onto the ingredients.
• Depending on the type of ingredients cooked in the fryer, steam may escape from the basket.
• When the batch of ingredients is ready, the air fryer is immediately ready for a new batch.

END OF COOKING

At the end of cooking, END displays on the screen. A beep sounds.

Remove the basket and place it on a heat-resistant surface (e.g. a trivet). Use heat-resistant kitchen utensils to remove food from the basket.

At the end of the programme, the appliance continues to ventilate for a few moments to cool down. This is normal.

Excess oil or melted grease is collected at the bottom of the basket. Carefully empty the excess after each portion before shaking or placing the basket back in the appliance to cook again.

The appliance switches off automatically after 60 seconds. Unplug it and allow it to cool down before moving it or cleaning it.

PROGRAMMING THE END OF COOKING

When you have chosen a different cooking time for each zone, the end of cooking programming function allows you to cook both zones so that they finish at the same time.

For example, if you cook chicken wings for 40 minutes in Zone 1 and chips for 20 minutes in Zone 2, the chicken will start cooking fi rst and the chips will start 20 minutes later, so that both fi nish at the same time.

• Pre-select the cooking times and temperatures for each zone, as described in the previous paragraphs.
• Press the end of cooking programming button 📂 to activate the function. The icon flashes.
• Press the start/pause button ▶: the zone with the longer cooking time will heat up first. The screen in the second zone displays "HOLD". Then the zone with the shorter cooking time starts, when the difference between the times of the two zones has elapsed, so that the two zones fi nish cooking simultaneously.

SYNCHRONISING COOKING

If you have chosen to use Zone 1 ① and Zone 2 ② with the separator, the cooking synchronisation function allows you to copy across the cooking time selected for the one zone to the other zone, to ensure the same cooking in both zones.

For example, if you cook food in Zone 1 at 180^ for 40 minutes, this function copies the settings to Zone 2, so you don't have to set the settings again.

• Pre-select the cooking times and temperatures for Zone 1 (1) OR Zone 2 (2) as indicated in the previous paragraphs.
• Press the cooking synchronisation button 📂 to activate the function. The cooking times and temperatures are copied to the other zone.
• Press the start/pause button >Ⅲ: both zones will start to heat up simultaneously. NOTE: Both screens display the same values. If you make changes to the temperature or cooking time, the changes will apply to both zones.

KEEPING FOOD WARM

The Keep warm function allows you to maintain a certain temperature within the appliance, if you do not remove your food immediately after cooking.

• After selecting the zone, press the Keep warm button 📋 to activate the function.
- Select a temperature between 65^ and 95^ and a time between 1 and 60 minutes.

REHEATING

The Reheat function allows you to reheat food after it has been cooked.

• After selecting the zone, press the reheat button to activate the function.
- Select a temperature between 80^ and 230^ and a time between 1 and 60 minutes.

DEHYDRATING

The Dehydration function removes moisture from foods, allowing you to obtain a dehydrated version (such as fruit, potatoes, etc.) to prolong their shelf life.

- The Dehydration function is available as one of the pre-set programmes (see the "Choosing a programme" section) and the settings options are between 50°C and 80°C and 1 to 24 hours.

Preparation tips

• The programme table will help you to select the basic settings for your ingredients. Remember that these settings are only guidelines. As the ingredients are all of different origins, sizes and shapes, and are also of different brands, we cannot guarantee which settings are optimal for your ingredients.
• Since hot air technology instantly heats the air inside the appliance, briefly removing the basket from the appliance during frying disrupts this process.
• Smaller ingredients generally require a shorter cooking time than larger ones.
• A large quantity of ingredients requires only a slightly longer cooking time; a small quantity of ingredients requires only a slightly shorter cooking time.
• Shaking small ingredients halfway through cooking improves the end result and helps prevent uneven cooking.
• Add oil to fresh potatoes for extra crunch. Simply fry the ingredients in the air fryer for a few minutes after adding the oil.
• Do not cook very fatty ingredients, such as sausages, in the air fryer.
• Dishes that can be baked in the oven can also be cooked in the air fryer.
• The optimum quantity of chips for a crispy result is 500 grammes.
• Use ready-to-use pasta to prepare filled snacks quickly and easily. Ready-made pasta also requires a shorter cooking time than home-made pasta.
• You can also use the air fryer to heat up ingredients. To heat up ingredients, set the temperature to 150°C for a maximum of 10 minutes.

USING A CAKE TIN

• You can use a cake tin (not supplied) to bake a cake or quiche, or if you want to fry fragile or stuffed ingredients.
• Place the cake tin in the basket without the cooking racks or the separator.

cleaning & maintenance

• Clean the appliance after each use.
• Unplug the appliance from the socket and allow the basket (and cake tin if included), the cooking racks, separator and interior of the appliance to cool down completely before cleaning. Remove the basket from the appliance to allow the air fryer to cool down more quickly.
• Never immerse the appliance or the power cord in water or any other liquid.
• To avoid the risk of electric shock, do not allow water or other liquids to penetrate the appliance.
• Do not use metal utensils or utensils that could scratch the non-stick coating on the basket and rack.
• Discard any residual liquid left in the basket after cooking.
• Wash the basket, the cooking rack, and the separator with a soft sponge and hot water with dishwashing liquid. Rinse thoroughly with clean water and dry with a soft cloth. These parts can also be washed in the dishwasher.
• If the food residue is difficult to remove from the basket/grill/separator, soak these items in hot, soapy water for 10 to 15 minutes. The residue will then come off easily.
• Clean the inside of the appliance with hot water and a non-abrasive sponge.
• Do not use an abrasive scrubbing sponge to avoid damaging the non-stick coating.
• Clean the heating element with a cleaning brush to remove any food residue.
• Wipe the outside surfaces of the appliance with a damp cloth.

storage

• Always unplug the appliance before storing it.
- Store the appliance in a cool, dry and dust-free place, out of the reach of children and pets.
- Please keep the packaging and use it to store the appliance if you are not going to be using it for a long time.

troubleshooting guide

Please consult the troubleshooting guide below before calling your retailer's customer service department to find out if you can solve the problem yourself.

Issues Possible causes Solutions
The air fryer is not working.	The appliance is not plugged in.	Connect the mains plug to an earthed wall socket.
	You have not pressed the start/pause button [2752]	Check that you have pressed the start/pause button .
Ingredients fried in the air fryer are not cooked through.	There is too much food placed on the cooking rack.	Place smaller quantities of food in the basket. Smaller batches ensure more even cooking.
	The set temperature is too low.	Adjust the temperature to the required setting (see “Programme chart” and “Cooking guide”).
	The cooking time is too short.	Adjust the cooking time to the required duration (see “Programme chart” and “Cooking guide”).
Ingredients cook unevenly in the air fryer.	Some types of ingredients need to be stirred halfway through cooking.	Ingredients placed on top of each other (such as chips, for example) should be shaken up or stirred halfway through the cooking time to ensure even cooking.
Fried snacks are not crispy when they come out of the air fryer.	You've used a type of snack that's supposed to be cooked in a traditional deep fryer.	Use oven-baked snacks or brush a little oil over them to make them crispier.
The basket cannot be inserted properly into the appliance.	There is too much food in the basket.	Do not fill the basket beyond the brim.

Issues Possible causes Solutions

White smoke emanates from the appliance.	You are trying to cook fatty ingredients.	When you fry fatty ingredients in the air fryer, a large amount of oil flows into the basket. This oil produces a white smoke and the basket may heat up more than usual. This does not affect the appliance or the fi nal result.
	The basket still contains grease residue from previous use.	The white smoke is caused by grease heating up in the basket. Make sure you clean the basket properly after each use.
Fresh chips cook unevenly in the air fryer.	You've used an unsuitable type of potatoes.	Use fresh potatoes and make sure they remain fi rm during frying.
	You didn't rinse the chips properly before frying them.	Rinse the chips well to remove any starch from the surface.
Fresh chips are not crispy when they come out of the air fryer.	The amount of oil and water in the chips affects their crispiness.	Make sure you dry the chips properly before adding the oil. Cut the chips smaller for a crispier result. Add a little more oil for a crispier result.

If you are unable to solve the problem using the information above, please do not dismantle the appliance and contact your retailer's customer service department. Any repairs carried out by an unqualified person will not be covered by the warranty.
