ActiFry cooking hints and tips

•Do not add salt to chips while the chips are in the pan. Only add salt once the chips are removed from the appliance at the end of cooking.

•When adding dried herbs and spices to Actifry, mix them with some oil or liquid. If you try sprinkling them directly into the pan they will just get blown around by the hot air system.

•Please note that strong coloured spices may slightly stain the paddle and parts of the appliance. This is normal.

•For best results, use finely chopped garlic instead of crushed garlic to avoid it adhering to the central paddle.

•If using onions in ActiFry recipes, they are best thinly sliced instead of chopped as they cook better. Separate the onion rings before adding them to the pan and give them a quick stir so that they are evenly distributed.

•With meat and poultry dishes, stop the appliance and stir the pan once or twice during cooking so that the food on top does not dry out and the dish thickens evenly.

•Prepare vegetables in small pieces or stir fry size to ensure they cook through.

•This appliance is not suitable for recipes with a high-liquid content (eg. soups, cook-in sauces...).

Easy cleaning

Cleaning the appliance

•Leave it to cool down completely before cleaning.

•Open the lid – fig. 1 and lift the latch to take off the lid – fig. 2.

•Lift the handle to horizontal position until you hear a “click” as it locks – fig. 3.

•Take out the cooking pan.

•Turn the cooking pan upside down and unclip the removable paddle by squeezing the two pins – fig. 4.

•All the removable parts are dishwasher safe – fig. 5 or can be washed with a soft sponge and washing up liquid.

•Clean the base of the appliance using a damp cloth and washing up liquid.

•Rinse and dry parts carefully before putting them back together.

•If food gets stuck or burnt on to the pan or paddle, leave them to soak in warm water before cleaning.

•The appliance has a non-stick cooking pan: the browning and scratches which may appear after long term use do not present any problems and are normal.

•We guarantee that the non-stick coating complies with regulations concerning materials in contact with foodstuffs.

Never immerse the base in water.

Do not use harsh or abrasive cleaning products or scourers.

To retain the non-stick qualities of the cooking pan for as long as possible, do not use metal utensils when serving food.

Environment protection first!

Timer battery

This appliance uses a button battery – L1154.

•To change the battery remove the control panel with a small flat bladed jewellers screw driver. Prise the control panel up by inserting the screwdriver into the gap at the top of the panel. Remove the white battery cover and replace the battery – fig 15. To protect the environment do not throw the old battery in your regular waste but take it to a suitable collection point.

•Insert a new battery, put the battery cover back on and clip the control panel back on. Your appliance contains valuable materials which can be recycled.

When you decide to replace your appliance, take out the battery and leave the appliance at a local civic waste collection point.
