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
