Safety Functions

• The device is equipped with a safety mechanism which switches off the device auto-
matically if it overheats during operation. If the device switches off automatically
during operation, move the timer back to the 0 position and pull the mains plug out
of the plug socket. Allow the device to cool down completely before using it again.
• The device is equipped with an internal timer. Once the timer time which is set
has elapsed, a beep sounds and the supply of heat is automatically switched off. To
switch the device on again, the timer needs to be reset.
• The device switches off automatically when the drawer containing the basket
insert is pulled out of the device. For safety reasons, the device should always be
switched off fi rst by moving the timer to the 0 position before the drawer is removed
from the device.

Tips

• This device works with hot air. You can prepare all dishes that can also be prepared
in a conventional fan oven.
• It is not necessary to preheat the device. However, to be better able to determine
when the food is cooked and when preparing food which has to be ready "on the dot",
preheating is recommended. To do this, set the cooking temperature you want and a
time of at least 5 minutes. When the temperature control lamp goes out (after approx.
3 minutes), the set temperature has been reached.
• No oil is required for preparing food. If it is to be used to enhance the fl avour, spray
or coat the food with just a little oil.
• Cooking times are dependent on the size and quantity of the food and on the cooking
temperature. Start with shorter cooking times and then adjust them if necessary.
• For the preparation of frozen products, follow the time and temperature specifi cations
of the manufacturer. Do not use any additional fat / oil. Check whether your food is
fully cooked before the stated cooking time has expired.
• Here are a few tips for preparing home-made chips from fresh potatoes to ensure
they are crispy and evenly cooked through:
– use waxy potatoes
– wash the chopped-up potatoes with cold, clear water to remove any excess starch
in the potatoes; then dry them thoroughly
– cut the potatoes into thin slices
– spray the uncooked potatoes with a little oil if necessary
– preboil the sliced potato chips so that they cook more evenly
• With some food (e. g. chips) 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 and
give it a good shake. Then reinsert the drawer and continue the cooking process.
