PREPARING FOR USE
- Do not fill the drawer with oil or any other liquid.
- Do not put anything on top of the appliance. This disrupts the airflow and affects the hot air frying result.
IMPORTANT: To prevent the appliance from overheating, do not place it in a corner or below a wall cupboard. A gap of at least 15cm should be left around the appliance to allow air to circulate. - Press to switch on the appliance.
- Fries mode is displayed as the default for drawer 1, while OFF is displayed on the screen for drawer 2.
- Any drawer can be activated for selection by pressing ‘1’ or ‘2’ button. (To cancel the selection, press again ‘1’ or ‘2’ button, the drawer will be OFF and cancelled).
Note: Never exceed the maximum amount indicated in the table (see section ‘Cooking Guide’), as this could affect the quality of the end result. - Always place the suitable grids in the drawers before cooking for optimal cooking results.
USING BOTH DRAWERS IN SYNCHRONISATION MODE (DUAL COOKING)
Cook 2 different types of food at the same time thanks to both drawers and SYNC Mode.

- Place your first food in drawer 1 (left drawer). Slide the drawer back into the appliance.
Note: When the screen displays ‘‘Add’’ and if there is no action for 10 minutes, the program stops, and the screen returns to display ‘‘START/STOP’’. You will need to re-select to restart cooking. - To activate drawer 2, press ‘2’.

- Press SYNC in order to get the two foods ready at the same time. If the two cooking modes selected have different cooking times, ‘HOLD’ appears on the screen for the shortest cooking mode (for the food which needs less time to cook). It means the appliance delays the cooking process in order to have the two types of food ready at the same time.

COOKING GUIDE
The table below helps you to select the basic settings for the food you want to prepare.
Note: The cooking times below are only a guide and may vary according to the variety and batch of potatoes used. For other food the size, shape and brand may affect results. Therefore, you may need to adjust the cooking time slightly.



TIPS
- Smaller foods usually require a slightly shorter cooking time than larger size foods.
- Shaking smaller-sized foods halfway through the cooking time can improve the end result and help prevent uneven cooking.
- To make your potatoes extra crispy, try adding a small amount of oil before cooking and shaking to evenly cover. We recommend 14ml of oil (1 tablespoon).
- Snacks that can be cooked in an oven can also be cooked in the appliance.
- The optimal recommended quantity for cooking fries is 1 600 grams (1000g in drawer 1 and 600g in drawer 2).
- 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 delicate ingredients or fillings. You can use an oven dish in silicone, stainless steel, aluminium, or terracotta.
- You can also use the appliance to reheat food. To reheat food, set the temperature to 160°C for up to 10 minutes. Cooking time could be adjusted depending onthe food quantity in order to fully reheat the food.
CLEANING
Clean the appliance after every use. 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.
- 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. - Wipe the outside of the appliance with a damp cloth.
