order to facilitate the determination of the exact cooking time. To preheat the device,
use the temperature control to set the desired cooking temperature and set the timer
to more than three minutes. Once the temperature control light turns off (after ap-
prox. 3 minutes), the device has reached the set temperature. You can now prepare
your meals.
• You generally do not require oil to prepare your meals. You can add oil to the foods
you are preparing in order to enhance their fl avour by spraying your foods with a
small amount of oil dispensed from an oil atomizer. You can also prepare marinated
or breaded foods.
• Cooking times depend on the size and quantity of food and the cooking temperature.
However, cooking times tend to be shorter than in a conventional oven. Start with
short cooking times and then gradually adjust them to suit your personal taste.
• Please observe the manufacturer's specifi cations on time and temperature when
preparing frozen foods. To keep your meals crispy, never add fat to industrially pro-
duced frozen foods when preparing them as they are generally par-fried. The cook-
ing time may be somewhat shorter. Before the specifi ed cooking time has expired,
check whether your food has already been cooked to completion.
• Please keep the following advice in mind when preparing home made French fries:
– Use waxy potatoes. Young potatoes have more water and must therefore be
cooked for longer. It is therefore possible that they are not quite as crispy.
– Wash the sliced potatoes in clean, cold water in order to remove excess starch in
the potatoes. IMPORTANT: Then dry the potatoes thoroughly. The French fries will
become crispier the less moisture there is.
– Thinner potato sticks turn out crispier.
– Spray the raw potatoes as needed with oil from the oil atomizer for crispier results.
– Parboiled potatoes cook more evenly! Cut the potatoes into sticks and parboil them
for approximately 5 minutes. This prevents your French fries from being crispy on
the outside and not cooked to completion on the inside.
• With some foods (e.g. French fries or similar), it is recommended that you mix them
from time to time to ensure they are evenly cooked. To do so, take the tray out of the
device and gently shake the food back and forth to mix it. Then put the tray back in
the device and continue the cooking process.
