Before using the appliance for the first time, you should proceed as follows: carefully unpack the hot air fryer and remove
all packaging material and any promotional stickers. Keep the packaging (plastic bags and cardboard) out of the reach of
children. After unpacking the appliance, check it for external damage that may have occurred during transport. Place the hot
air fryer on a sturdy, flat and heat-resistant surface.
The keys used to operate the hot air fryer are touch controls. Carefully touch the controls with a finger to activate. At each
touch of a touch control, you can hear a sound signal.

When the plug is inserted in the socket, a sound signal can be heard. The stand-by key lights up. The appliance automatically
switches to stand-by mode when:
• inserting the plug in the socket;
• no keys are touched for 1 minute;
• the time set on the timer has passed;
• pressing the on/off key while the appliance is working.
SWITCHING ON/OFF

PRIOR TO FIRST USE
Check the voltage. The appliance will only work safely on alternate current with a voltage that is indicated on the information
plate of the appliance. Only insert the plug of the appliance into a earthed socket The heating element has been provided
with a protective layer. Switch on the appliance and allow it to operate at maximum level without food for 10 minutes. In this
way, the protective layer around the heating element is burned off perfectly. A little bit of smoke may be created during this
action. Therefore ensure sufficient ventilation. When the protective layer has disappeared, switch off the appliance.
Remove the plug from the socket and clean the insert grille and basket before you actually start using the appliance. Wash
the insert grille and basket with soapy water or in the dishwasher. The inside and outside of the appliance itself can be wiped
with a soft, damp cloth.
The appliance works with hot air. This means that you should never use oil, other liquids or frying fat for preparing
food.
• Place the appliance on a sturdy, flat and heat-resistant surface.
• Bend the feet of the insert grille slightly outwards so that it fits tightly in the basket and cannot fall out.
• Place the insert grille in the basket.
• Place the basket in the appliance.
CAUTION! If the basket is not placed correctly, the appliance will not function.
Do not fill the basket with oil or other liquids. Do not place anything on top of the appliance.
Do not cover air inlet or outlet openings. Covered air openings will disrupt the air circulation and will have a negative effect
on the frying result.
