• Generally it is not necessary to preheat the device. However, to be better able to deter-
mine when the food is cooked and when preparing food which has to be ready "on the
dot", preheating is recommended. To preheat the device, use the temperature control
to set the cooking temperature you want and use the timer to set a time of more than
3 minutes. When the temperature control lamp goes out (after around 3 minutes), the
device has reached the set temperature. You can now cook your food.
• You generally do not require any oil to cook food. You can add oil to your food to en-
hance the taste by spraying your food with a little oil from the oil atomiser. In addition,
you can also prepare marinated food or food in breadcrumbs.
• Cooking times are dependent on the size and quantity of the food and on the cook-
ing temperature. However, in general the cooking times are shorter than in a con-
ventional oven. Start with shorter cooking times and then adjust the cooking times
to refl ect your own personal taste.
• For the preparation of frozen products, please follow the time and temperature spec-
ifi cations of the manufacturer. To get a crispy result, never add fat when preparing
mass-produced frozen products as they have generally already been pre-fried. The
preparation time may be reduced slightly. You should check whether your food is
already cooked before the stated cooking time has expired.
• For preparing homemade chips made from fresh potatoes, you should pay heed to
a few tips:
– Use waxy potatoes. Young potatoes contain more water and therefore take longer
to cook and it is possible that they may not go as crispy.
– Wash the chopped-up potatoes with cold, clear water to remove any excess starch
in the potatoes. IMPORTANT: Then thoroughly dry the potatoes. The less moisture
is present, the crispier the chips will become.
– The thinner the potatoes are chopped up, the crispier they will become.
– If necessary, spray the uncooked potatoes with a little oil from the oil atomiser as
this will make them go crispier.
– Preboiled potatoes will cook more evenly! Cut the potatoes into small sticks and
preboil them for around 5 minutes. This will prevent your chips from being crispy on
the outside but not fully cooked on the inside.
• With some food (e. g. chips, potato wedges etc.) it is advisable to mix the food around
from time to time to obtain an even cooking result. To do this, remove the drawer
from the device, the basket from the drawer and shake the food about slightly to mix
it all up. Then reinsert the drawer and continue the cooking process.
