TIPS
• Smaller foods usually require a slightly shorter cooking time than larger size foods.
• A larger amount of food only requires a slightly longer cooking time, a smaller amount of
food only requires a slightly shorter cooking time.
• Shaking smaller size foods halfway through the cooking time improves the end result and
can help prevent uneven cooking.
• Add some oil to fresh potatoes for a crispy result. After adding a spoon of oil, fry the
potatoes within a few minutes.
• Do not cook extremely greasy foods in the appliance.
• Snacks that can be cooked in an oven can also be cooked in the appliance.
• The optimal recommended quantity for cooking fries is 1000 grams.
• Use ready made puff and shortcrust pastry to make filled snacks quickly and easily.
• Place an oven dish in the appliance's bowl if you want to bake a cake or quiche or if you
want to fry fragile ingredients or filled ingredients. You can use an oven dish in silicon,
stainless steel, aluminium, terracotta.

MAKING HOME-MADE CHIPS
For the best results, we advise to use frozen chips. If you want to make home-made chips, follow
the steps below.
1. Choose a variety of potato recommended for making chips. Peel the potatoes and cut them
into equal thickness chips.
2. Soak the potato chips in a bowl of cold water for at least 30 minutes, drain them and dry
them with a clean, highly absorbent tea towel. Then pat with paper kitchen towel. The chips
must be thoroughly dry before cooking.
3. Pour 1 tablespoon of oil (vegetable, sunflower or olive) in a dry bowl, put the chips on top
and mix until they are coated with oil.
4. Remove the chips from the bowl with your fingers or a kitchen utensil so that any excess oil
stays behind in the bowl. Place the chips in the bowl.
Note: Do not tip the container of oil coated chips directly into the bowl in one go,
otherwise excess oil will end up at the bottom of the bowl.
5. Fry the chips according to the instructions in the section Cooking guide.

The bowl and the grid have a non-stick coating. Do not use metal kitchen utensils or
abrasive cleaning materials to clean them, as this may damage the nonstick coating.
1. Remove the mains plug from the wall socket and let the appliance cool down. Note: Remove
the bowl to let the appliance cool down more quickly.
2. Wipe the outside of the appliance with a damp cloth.
3. Clean the bowl and grid with hot water, some washing-up liquid and a non-abrasive sponge.
You can use a degreasing liquid to remove any remaining dirt.
