MAKING HOME-MADE FRIES

For the best results, we advise to use pre-baked (e.g. frozen) fries. If you want to make 
home-made fries, follow the steps below.
1.  Peel the potatoes and cut them into same sized sticks.
2.   Soak the fries in a bowl of cold water for at least 30 minutes, take them out and dry 

them with paper towel.

3.   Pour ½ tablespoon of olive oil in a bowl, put the fries on top and mix until the fries are 

coated with oil.

4.   Remove the fries from the bowl with your fingers or a kitchen utensil so that excess 

oil stays behind in the bowl. Put the fries in the basket.

Note: Do not tilt the bowl to put all the fries in the basket all at once, to prevent 
excess oil from ending up on the bottom of the pan.

5.  Cook the fries according to the instructions in the ‘Settings’ section.

CLEANING

Clean the appliance after every use.

The pan and the basket 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 plug from the wall socket and let the appliance cool down. Note: Remove 

the pan to let the air fryer cool down more quickly.

2.  Wipe the outside of the appliance with a moist cloth.
3.   Clean the pan and basket with hot water, some dishwashing liquid and a non-abrasive 

sponge.

Note: The pan and basket are dishwasher-proof.
 Tip: If food is stuck to the basket or the bottom of the pan, fill the pan with hot 
water with some dishwashing liquid. Put the basket in the pan and let the pan 
and the basket soak for approximately 10 minutes.

4.  Clean the inside of the appliance with hot water and a non-abrasive sponge.
5.  Clean the heating element with a cleaning brush to remove any food residue.

STORAGE

1.  Unplug the appliance and let it cool down.
2.  Make sure all parts are clean and dry.
3.   Push the cord into the cord storage compartment. Fix the cord by inserting it into the 

cord fixing slot.
