Using the appliance

Food table

The table below helps you select the basic settings for the types of food you want to prepare.

Note

• Keep in mind that these settings are suggestions. As ingredients differ in origin, size, shape as well as brand, we cannot guarantee the best setting for your ingredients.
• When preparing larger amount of food (e.g. fries, prawns, drumsticks, frozen snacks), shake, turn, or stir the ingredients in the basket 2 to 3 times in order to achieve a consistent result.

4. Put the pan with the basket back into the Airfryer.
   
   

Tip

• During cooking, if you want to change the cooking time or temperature, press the corresponding up or down button at any time to do so.
• To pause the cooking process, press the On/Off button. To resume the cooking process, press the On/Off button again to continue the cooking process.
• The device is automatically in pause mode when you pull out the pan and the basket. The cooking process continues when the pan and the basket are put in the appliance again.
• To change the temperature unit from Celsius to Fahrenheit or the other way around on your Airfryer, press the temperature up and down button at the same time for about 10 seconds.

Note

• If you do not set the required cooking time within 30 minutes, the appliance automatically shuts off for safety reasons.
• Some ingredients require shaking or turning halfway through the cooking time (see 'Food table'). To shake the ingredients, pull out the pan with the basket, place it on a heat resistant work top, slide the lid and press the basket release button to remove the basket and shake the basket over the sink. Then put the basket into the pan, and slide them back into the appliance.
• If you set the timer to the half of the cooking time and you hear the timer bell it is time to shake or turn the ingredients. Be sure to reset the timer to the remaining cooking time.

9. When you hear the timer bell, the cooking time has elapsed.
   

Note

• You can stop the cooking process manually. To do this, press the On/Off button.

10. Pull out the pan and check if the ingredients are ready.
    
    

• The Airfryer pan is hot after the cooking process. Always place it on a heat resistant work top (eg. trivet, etc.) when you remove the pan from the device.

Note

• If the ingredients are not ready yet, simply slide the pan back into the Airfryer by the handle and add a few extra minutes to the set time.

11. To remove small ingredients (e.g. fries), lift the basket out of the pan by sliding the lid first, and then pressing the basket release button.
    

• After the cooking process, the pan, the basket, the interior housing and the ingredients are hot. Depending on the type of ingredients in the Airfryer, steam may escape from the pan.

12. Empty the basket contents into a bowl or onto a plate. Always remove the basket from the pan to empty contents as hot oil may be in the bottom of the pan.
    

Note

• To remove large or fragile ingredients, use a pair of tongs to lift out the ingredients.
• Excess oil or rendered fat from the ingredients is collected on the bottom of the pan.
• Depending on the type of ingredients cooking, you may want to carefully pour off any excess oil or rendered fat from the pan after each batch or before shaking or replacing the basket in the pan. Place the basket on a heat-resistant surface. Wear oven-safe gloves to pour off excess oil or rendered fat. Return the basket into the pan.

Troubleshooting

This chapter summarizes the most common problems you could encounter with the appliance. If you are unable to solve the problem with the information below, visit www.philips.com/support for a list of frequently asked questions or contact the Consumer Care Center in your country.

Problem	Possible cause	Solution
The outside of the appliance becomes hot during use.	The heat inside radiates to the outside walls.	This is normal. All handles and knobs that you need to touch during use stay cool enough to touch.
		The pan, the basket, and the inside of the appliance always become hot when the appliance is switched on to ensure the food is properly cooked. These parts are always too hot to touch.
		If you leave the appliance switched on for a longer time, some areas get too hot to touch. These areas are marked on the appliance with the following icon: As long as you are aware of the hot areas and avoid touching them, the appliance is completely safe to use.
My home-made fries do not turn out as I expected.	You did not use the right potato type.	To get the best results, use fresh floury potatoes. If you need to store the potatoes, do not store them in a cold environment like in a fridge. Choose potatoes whose package states that they are suitable for frying.
	The amount of ingredients in the basket is too big.	Follow the instructions in this user manual to prepare home-made fries.
	Certain types of ingredients need to be shaken halfway through the cooking time.	Follow the instructions in this user manual to prepare home-made fries.
The Airfryer does not switch on.	The appliance is not plugged in.	Check if the plug is inserted in the wall outlet properly.
	Several appliances are connected to one outlet.	The Airfryer has a high wattage. Try a different outlet and check the fuses.
I see some peeling off spots inside my Airfryer.	Some small spots can appear inside the pan of the Airfryer due to the incidental touching or scratching of the coating (e.g. during cleaning with harsh cleaning tools and/or while inserting the basket).	You can prevent damage by lowering the basket into the pan properly. If you insert the basket at an angle, its side may knock against the wall of the pan, causing small pieces of coating to chip off. If this occurs, please be informed that this is not harmful as all materials used are food-safe.
White smoke comes out of the appliance.	You are cooking fatty ingredients.	Carefully pour off any excess oil or fat from the pan and then continue cooking.
	The pan still contains greasy residues from previous use.	White smoke is caused by greasy residues heating up in the pan. Always clean the pan and the basket thoroughly after every use.
	Breading or coating did not adhere properly to the food.	Tiny pieces of airborne breading can cause white smoke. Firmly press breading or coating to food to ensure it sticks.
	Marinade, liquid or meat juices are splattering in the rendered fat or grease.	Pat food dry before placing it in the basket.
The screen on the Airfryer shows "E1".	The device is broken/defect.	Call the Philips service hot line or contact the Consumer Care Center in your country.
	Your Airfryer might be stored in a place where it is too cold.	If your device was stored at a low ambient temperature, let it warm up to room temperature for at least 15 minutes before you plug it in again. If your display still shows "E1", call the Philips service hot line or contact the Consumer Care Center in your country.
