Because the Rapid Air technology instantly reheats the air inside the appliance, pulling the pan briefly out of the appliance during cooking barely disturbs the process.
Tips
-- Smaller ingredients usually require a slightly shorter cooking time than larger ingredients.
-- A larger amount of ingredients only requires a slightly longer cooking
time, a smaller amount of ingredients only requires a slightly shorter cooking time.
-- Shake smaller ingredients halfway through the cooking time to redistribute them.This improves the end result and helps to prevent unevenly cooked ingredients.
-- Add some oil to fresh potatoes for a crispy result. Fry your ingredients in the airfryer within a few minutes after you added the oil.
-- Do not prepare extremely greasy ingredients such as sausages in the airfryer. -- Snacks that can be prepared in an oven can also be prepared in the airfryer. -- The optimal amount for preparing crispy fries is 750 grams.
-- Use pre-made dough to prepare filled snacks quickly and easily. Pre-made
dough also requires a shorter cooking time than home-made dough.
-- Place a baking tray or oven dish in the airfryer basket if you want to bake a
cake or quiche or if you want to fry fragile ingredients or filled ingredients. -- You can also use the airfryer to reheat ingredients.To reheat ingredients,
set the temperature to 150°C for up to 10 minutes.

Making home-made fries
For the best results, we advise you to use pre-baked (e.g. frozen) fries. If you want to make home-made fries, follow the steps below.
1Peel the potatoes and cut them into sticks.
2Soak the potato sticks in a bowl for at least 30 minutes, take them out and dry them with kitchen paper.
3Pour ½ tablespoon of olive oil in a bowl, put the sticks on top and mix until the sticks are coated with oil.
4Remove the sticks from the bowl with your fingers or a kitchen utensil so that excess oil stays behind in the bowl. Put the sticks in the basket.
Note: Do not tilt the bowl to put all the sticks in the basket in one go, to prevent excess oil from ending up on the bottom of the pan.
5Fry the potato sticks according to the instructions in this chapter.
Cleaning
Clean the appliance after every use. Remove oil from the bottom of the pan after each cooking process to prevent the development of smoke.
Open the drawer to let the airfryer cool down more quickly. Let the pan cool down before you remove it from the appliance.
The pan, basket and the inside of the appliance have a non-stick coating. Do not use metal kitchen utensils or abrasive cleaning materials to clean them, as this may damage the non-stick coating.
1Remove the mains plug from the wall socket and let the appliance cool down.
2Wipe the outside of the appliance with a moist cloth.
Note: Make sure no moisture remains behind on the control panel. Dry the control panel with a cloth after you have cleaned it.
3Clean the pan and the basket with hot water, some washing-up liquid and a non-abrasive sponge.
You can use a degreasing liquid to remove any remaining dirt.
Note:The pan and basket are dishwasher-proof.
Tip: If dirt sticks to the basket or the bottom of the pan, fill the pan with hot water with some washing-up liquid. Put the basket in the pan and let the pan and the basket soak for approximately 10 minutes.
4Clean the inside of the appliance with hot water and a non-abrasive sponge.
5Clean the heating element with a cleaning brush to remove any food residues.
