Tips
• Foods that are smaller in size usually require
a slightly shorter cooking time than larger ones.
• Flipping or turning foods halfway through
the cooking process ensures that all the pieces
are evenly fried.
• Misting a bit of vegetable oil on fresh potatoes
is suggested for a crispier result. When adding
a little oil, do so just before cooking.
5. The appliance will automatically start the cooking cycle
a few seconds after a preset function is selected or
the Time and/or Temperature are adjusted manually.
Alternatively, you can press the Power Button to begin
the cooking cycle immediately once the desired cooking
time and temperature have been selected. Add 3 mins.
to the cooking time when starting with a cold appliance.
NOTE: You may open the appliance door to view the
food at any time during the cooking process to check
the progress.
NOTE: Consult the charts in this manual or the recipe
books to determine the correct settings for the specific
item and weight being cooked.
• Snacks normally cooked in an oven can also
be cooked in the appliance.
• Use premade dough to prepare filled snacks quickly and
easily. Premade dough also requires
a shorter cooking time than homemade dough.
• Place fragile or filled foods in a baking tin or oven dish
in the appliance. A baking pan or oven dish is also
suggested when baking a cake or quiche.
• You can use the appliance to reheat foods. Simply set
the temperature and time to however warm you want
your food.
