SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
For household use only.
Risk of electric shock!
A faulty electrical installation, excessive power supply voltage,
or incorrect use can result in electric shock.
SilverCrest SHFD 1400 A1
6 -
- This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider
than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug
will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does
not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit,
contact a qualified technician. Do not modify the plug in
any way.
- Always take hold of the power cord by the plug and do not
pull on the cord itself.
- Do not place any items of furniture or other heavy objects
on the power cord. Make sure that the cord is not bent,
especially in the area near the plug.
- Ensure that the power cord does not come into contact with
hot or sharp areas or edges in order to avoid damage.
- Ensure that the power cable does not come into contact
with any of the hot surfaces of the air fryer. A damaged
power cable can cause fire or electric shock.
- Only plug in the air fryer to a power socket, which is always
easily accessible. Only operate the air fryer with the
voltage specified on the rating plate, otherwise there is a
risk of electric shock!
- Do not use an adapter plug or extension cable that does
not meet the relevant safety standards and do not perform
any procedures on the power cord yourself. If the power
cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer,
SilverCrest SHFD 1400 A1
- 7
their service department or by a similarly qualified person in
order to avoid hazards.
- Never make a knot in the power cord and do not bundle it
with other cords. The power cord should be laid in such a
way that no one steps on it or is obstructed by it. There is a
risk of injury.
- If you notice any smoke, unusual noises or smells, unplug
the air fryer’s power cord from the socket immediately. If this
happens, you must stop using the air fryer until it has been
checked by a specialist.
- Repairs are required if the air fryer has been damaged,
liquids or objects have gotten inside the housing, the air
fryer has been exposed to rain or moisture or if the air fryer
is not functioning properly or has been dropped. All repairs
should only be carried out by qualified technicians. Never
open the housing of the air fryer.
- Disconnect the air fryer from the power supply each time
prior to assembly and disassembly or cleaning.
- Never touch the power cable or the air fryer with wet
hands. There is an electric shock hazard!

- Do not cover the air fryer to avoid overheating. There is the
danger of fire!
- Always place the air fryer on an even, heat-resistant surface
and not in the vicinity of heat sources and flammable
materials, liquids or gases. Leave at least a 19.7 in (0.5 m)
gap around it on all sides, otherwise it is a fire hazard!
Risk of injury!
Improper handling of the air fryer may cause injury
to the user.
- Do not operate the air fryer unattended. Always switch off
the air fryer when you are not using it and remove the plug
from the power outlet. Do not put the air fryer away until it

fryer completely from electric power.
Risk of damage to property!
Improper handling of the air fryer may cause
damage to property.
- This air fryer is only suitable for use in dry, indoor rooms.

The specified times are just approximate. These times may be shorter or longer depending on the
food characteristics and your personal preferences.
1 To achieve even cooking, we recommend cooking 14 oz (400 g) of French fries for about 16 to
18 minutes without preheating until they are browned just right. Toss the French fries after 2/3 of
the cooking time. When tossing, make sure that the French fries are well mixed and that the inner,
uncooked French fries are moved to the outside. To do this, pull the pan (4) including the basket
(3) from the air fryer using the handle (6) and toss the food. The air fryer switches off
automatically when the pan (4) including the basket (3) is removed. As soon as the pan (4)
including the basket (3) has been put back properly, the air fryer switches back on automatically
until the timer (16) expires.
If cooking is uneven, you should toss the French fries every 3 minutes if necessary.
2 These foods should be tossed halfway through the cooking time to ensure even cooking. To do
this, pull the pan (4) including the basket (3) from the air fryer using the handle (6) and toss the
food. The air fryer switches off automatically when the pan (4) including the basket (3) is
removed. As soon as the pan (4) including the basket (3) has been put back properly, the air
fryer switches back on automatically until the timer (16) expires.
3 Before deep-frying them, we recommend these ingredients to be tossed in 1/2 tbsp. of oil in a
bowl. Never put the oil directly into the pan (4) or the basket (3)!
4 Never put the dough directly into the pan (4) or the basket (3)! Only put the dough into a
suitable, heat-resistant container or an appropriate baking pan (for example, a muffin pan). Place
the container or the baking pan into the basket (3). You can easily purchase a suitable baking
pan (round, max. diameter of 6.7 in (17 cm) and max. 3.3 in (8.5 cm) high) on the Internet or in
a housewares store.
With layered food (for example, French fries), check its browning progress often until it is as
brown as you want.
The cooking time is lengthened by about 2-3 minutes if the air fryer is cold.
10. Maintenance / cleaning
10.1. Maintenance
Maintenance work is necessary if the air fryer has been
damaged, if liquid or objects have penetrated the interior of the
housing, the air fryer has been exposed to rain or moisture, the
air fryer is not operating correctly or has been dropped. If you

see smoke, hear unusual noises or smell odors, switch the air
fryer off immediately and remove the plug from the power
outlet. In these cases, do not use the air fryer again before it
has been checked by an expert. Only let qualified technicians
perform maintenance work. Never open the housing of the air
fryer.
10.2. Cleaning
- Before cleaning, remove the plug from the power outlet.
There is an electric shock hazard!
- Never immerse the air fryer itself in water. There is an
electric shock hazard!

could be burned!
The pan (4) and the basket (3) can be removed for cleaning. To do this, pull the pan (4) including
the basket (3) from the air fryer using the handle (6). First open the cover and then press the Unlock
button (5) to release the basket (3) from the pan (4). First remove any large pieces of leftover food.
Afterward, the pan (4) and the basket (3) can be cleaned in the sink using detergent and warm
water. Then rinse the pan (4) and the basket (3) with clean water and dry them completely before
putting them back into the air fryer. Never use a wire brush or other scouring objects.
The pan (4) and the basket (3) are dishwasher-safe.
To clean the inside and outside surfaces, use a damp cloth, possibly with some detergent. Never
use solvents or cleaners that attack plastics.
After cleaning, put the pan (4) and the basket (3) back in the air fryer. Proceed as follows:
1. Place the basket (3) back into the pan (4) until it latches.
2. Insert the pan (4) including the basket (3) into the air fryer until it latches.
11. Storage when not being used

power cable in the cable compartment by just pushing it into the compartment. Make sure to store
the air fryer in a clean, dry location out of direct sunlight.
