    • The marked electrical rating of the cord must be as great as the rating of the appliance.
    • The cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the edge of the counter or tabletop where it could be pulled by children or tripped over unintentionally.
    • If the appliance is of grounded type, the extension cord should be a grounded-type 3-wire cord.
20. Oversized foods or oversized metal utensils must not be inserted into the appliance as they may create a fire or risk of electric shock.
21. A fire may occur if the appliance is covered or touching flammable material, including curtains, draperies, walls, and the like, when in operation. Do not store any item on top of the appliance when in operation.
22. Do not place any of the following materials in the appliance: paper, cardboard, non-heat-resistant plastic, and the like.
23. If you are using baking or parchment paper to avoid food from sticking to the mesh basket, never put the paper in without placing the food you are cooking on top of the paper. Otherwise, the lightweight baking paper could be lifted by the air ventilation and touch the heater.
24. Immediately unplug the appliance if you see dark smoke coming out of it. Wait for the smoke emission to stop before pulling the pan out of the appliance.
25. Use on a flat, stable, heat-resistant surface away from water or any heat source.

27. This appliance operates at high temperatures, which may cause burns. Do not touch hot surfaces, parts, or the inside of the appliance while it is operating. Let the appliance cool down completely before you handle or clean it.
28. During hot air frying, hot steam is released through the hot air outlet openings. Keep your hands and face away from the steam and air outlet openings.
29. Avoid contact with moving parts.
30. This appliance works with hot air only; food is not fried in oil or fat! Never fill the pan with fat or oil.
31. This product is for household use only.
32. Never use the air fryer without the pan, basket, or fat reducer in place.
33. Do not use the plug in or near a power outlet that contains an electric air freshener to prevent damage to the plug.
34. Do not clean with metal scouring pads. Pieces can break off the pad and touch electrical parts, posing a risk of electric shock.
35. Do not store any materials, other than the manufacturer’s recommended accessories, in this oven (Airfryer) when not in use.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

Consuming raw or undercooked meats, poultry, seafood, shellfish, or eggs may increase your risk of foodborne illness.

Make sure ingredients prepared in this appliance come out golden-yellow instead of dark brown.

Remove burnt remnants. For the best results, do not fry fresh potatoes at a temperature above 180°C/350°F or beyond golden-yellow.

Introduction

Congratulations on your purchase and welcome to Philips!

To fully benefit from the support that Philips offers, register your product at www.philips.com/welcome.
Philips Airfryer XXL uses hot air to fry your favorite food with little or no added oil. It is built to fry as crispy as deep fried with an minimum amount of fat.
By combining a powerful heater and motor with new Twin TurboStar technology, the hot air in the Airfryer XXL swirls fast, like a tornado, throughout the entire cooking basket. This extracts fat from food and captures it all in the fat reducer at the bottom of the Airfryer.
Fat released from the food is captured in one place at the bottom of the pan for easy disposal and cleaning.
You can now enjoy perfectly cooked fried food – crispy on the outside, tender on the inside – Fry, grill, roast, and bake to prepare a variety of tasty dishes in a healthy, fast, and easy way.

• The keep warm mode is designed to keep your dish warm immediately after it is cooked in the Airfryer. It is not meant for reheating.

Making homemade fries

To make great homemade fries in the Airfryer:

• Choose a potato variety suitable for making fries, e.g., fresh russet potatoes.
• It is best to air fry the fries in portions of up to 1000 grams / 35 oz for an even result. Larger fries tend to be less crispy than smaller fries.
• Shake the basket 2-3 times during the airfrying process.

1. Peel the potatoes and cut into sticks (8×8 mm / 5/16 x 5/16 in thick).
2. Soak the potato sticks in a bowl of water for at least 30 minutes.
3. Empty the bowl and dry the potato sticks with a dish towel or paper towel.
4. Pour a half tablespoon of cooking oil into the bowl, put the sticks in the bowl, and mix until the sticks are coated with oil.
5. Remove the sticks from the bowl with your fingers or a slotted kitchen utensil so that excess oil remains in the bowl.
   Note
   • Do not tilt the bowl to pour all the sticks in the basket at once to prevent excess oil from going into the pan.
6. Put the sticks in the basket.
7. Fry the potato sticks and shake the basket halfway through the airfrying process. Shake 2-3 times if you prepare more than 500g/17.6 oz of fries.
   Note
   • Consult the chapter “Food table” for the right quantities and cooking times.

Cleaning

Warning

• Let the basket, pan, fat reducer, and the inside of the appliance cool down completely before you start cleaning.
• Remove the fat reducer from the pan using rubber-tipped tongs. Do NOT remove using your fingers as hot fat or oil collects under the fat reducer.
• The pan, basket, fat reducer, and inside of the appliance have a non-stick coating. Do not use metal kitchen utensils or abrasive cleaningmaterialss as this may damage the non-stick coating.

Clean the appliance after every use. Remove oil and fat from the bottom of the pan after every use to prevent smoke.

1. Press the power On/Off () button to switch off the appliance, remove the plug from the wall outlet, and let the appliance cool down.
   Tip
   • Remove the pan and basket to let the Airfryer cool down more quickly.
2. Remove the fat reducer from the pan using rubber-tipped tongs. Dispose of rendered fat or oil from the bottom of the pan.
3. Clean the pan, basket, and fat reducer in a dishwasher. You can also clean them with hot water, dishwashing liquid, and a non-abrasive sponge (see ‘cleaning table’).
   Tip
   • If food residues stick to the pan, fat reducer, or basket, you can soak them in hot water and dishwashing liquid for 10-15 minutes. Soaking loosens the food residues and makes it easier to remove. Make sure you use a dishwashing liquid that can dissolve oil and grease. If there are grease stains on the pan, fat reduce, or basket, and you have not been able to remove them with hot water and dishwashing liquid, use a liquid degreaser.
   • If necessary, food residues stuck to the heating element can be removed with a soft to medium bristle brush. Do not use a steel wire brush or a hard bristle brush, as this might damage the coating on the heating element.
4. Wipe the outside of the appliance with a moist cloth. (Fig. 39)
   Note
   • Make sure no moisture remains on the control panel. Dry the control panel with a cloth after you have cleaned it.
5. Clean the heating element with a cleaning brush to remove any food residues. (Fig. 40)
6. Clean the inside of the appliance with hot water and a non-abrasive sponge. (Fig. 41)
