Useful Hints for Use
• This appliance is used for the preparation of solid foods.
Do not prepare any soups or liquid foodstuffs in it.
• A safety switch prevents the use of the appliance without
a basket with the fat tank.
• To achieve an optimum result, fill the basket at most up
to the MAX marking. Never overfill the basket, so that
the food does not touch the heating element.
• Never put oil or other liquids in the fat tank. In order to
achieve crispy results, you can baste the food with a
little oil.
• Do not prepare the appliance for high-fat foods (e. g.
sausages).

• All foods can be prepared in the appliance, which are
also suitable for the oven.
• Note that the dough expands during baking of cakes,
bread or similar. Nothing must come into contact with
the heating element.
• Foods that are cooked over one another, must be
shaken after half way through the cooking time. Thus
the result is optimized and prevents uneven cooking.
• Pour water on homemade potato products after cutting
at least 30 minutes to reduce the potato starch. Then dry
the potato pieces with paper.
• The cooking time depends on several factors: Size,
condition, quantity of food and set temperature. For
standard values, see "Table of cooking times".
• If you do not preheat the hot air fryer, add 5 minutes to
the cooking time.
• Fry steaks / larger quantities of meat in a pan previously
before leaving to cook in the hot air fryer. Time and
temperature are dependent on the desired degree of
doneness.
• With the appliance, you can also reheat food. Set the
timer to 10 minutes and the temperature control to
150 °C.
