AT THE END OF COOKING
Once the remaining time has elapsed, the appliance emits a few consecutive beeps
and, after a short period of idle operation, stops; it is now possible to pull out the
drawer and remove the food. In some cases it is advisable to let it rest for a few
moments immediately after extraction to stop any grease boiling.
Let the appliance rest until it has cooled down considerably, taking care not to come
into contact with hot or incandescent surfaces, whether outside or inside the drawer
compartment. Avoid emptying the drawer by turning it upside down, as the grease
trap grille is not connected to the bottom and therefore it can fall out, creating a
hazardous situation.
TIPS FOR OPTIMAL USE
Although best performance is achieved by perfecting your technique through
experience, a few tricks can make it easier to use the appliance right from the start.
Always keep in mind that:

The ideal cooking time is always affected by the amount of food placed in the
drawer: in the case of large quantities, it is always a good idea to extend the cooking
time by a few minutes and vice versa

In the case of portioned food (meatballs, chunks, etc.), the cooking time should
be slightly shorter than for the same volume of food in a single piece.

Before starting a cooking cycle that includes the spray function, the tank should
always be checked and the level should never exceed the 100 ml mark. Moreover, the
tank must be tightly closed by screwing the cap all the way in until it stops. This will
allow the spray pump to generate the necessary pressure, which would otherwise be
impossible.

Drawer opening, although necessary in some cases for stirring, has a considerable
impact on the internal temperature; operations with the drawer open should
therefore be carried out in the shortest possible time, always considering the
necessary safety precautions

The need to stir is all the greater the more finely portioned the food is. In most
cases, a single stirring halfway through the cooking process is sufficient for a good end
result.

When preparing chips, a small amount of oil (approx. ½ tablespoon) can be used
to improve cooking, spreading it over the surface with a food spray before putting
them the appliance or brushing it on with a food brush. Check in any case that they
have not been pre-treated in production with the application of greasy or oily
seasoning.

The ideal quantity of chips in a single batch is 750 grams.
