Cooking Guide - TEFAL AIR FRY EASY FRY User Manual

7. To switch on the appliance, turn the timer knob to the required cooking time.
Add 3 minutes to the cooking time stated in the tables on pages 7 and 8 when using
the appliance from cold.
To set a short time, turn the timer knob until 10 minutes and then go back to the
desired time.
Note: If you want, you can also let the appliance preheat without any food inside. In
this case, turn the timer knob to more than 3 minutes and wait until the heating-up
light goes out (after approx. 3 minutes). Then fill the bowl and turn the timer knob to
the required cooking time (see Cooking Guide for timings).
• The ready light will turn green, indicating the appliance is hot.
• The timer starts counting down the set cooking time.
• The heating-up light goes on.
• During the hot air frying process, the heating-up light goes on and off from time to
time. This indicates that the heating element is switched on and off to thermostatically
maintain the set temperature.
8. Excess oil from the food is collected in the bottom of the bowl.
9. Some foods require shaking halfway through the cooking time (see section 'Cooking
Guide'). To shake the food, pull the bowl out of the appliance by the handle and shake it.
Then slide the bowl back into the Air Fryer.
Tip: You can set the timer to half of the cooking time, and when the timer sounds shake
the ingredients. Then set the timer again for the remaining cooking time.
10. When you hear the timer sound, the cooking time set has finished. Pull the bowl out
of the appliance and place it on a heat-resistant surface.
Note: You can also switch off the appliance manually. To do this, turn the timer
control knob to 0.
11. Check if the food is ready.
If the food is not ready yet, simply slide the bowl back into the appliance and set the
timer for a few extra minutes.
12. When the food is cooked, take out the bowl. To remove food, use a pair of tongs to lift
the food out of the bowl.
Caution: When you turn the bowl, be careful of any excess oil collected at the bottom of
the bowl that may leak onto the food and of the grid may fall down.
After hot air frying, the bowl, the grid and the food are very hot. Depending on the type
of food cooked in the Air Fryer, be careful as steam may escape from the bowl.
Caution: Never turn the bowl upside-down, as the removable grid and hot oil could fall
down.
13. When a batch of food is ready, the Air Fryer is instantly ready for preparing another
batch of food.
14. Note: You can also turn off the appliance manually by turning the timer knob to zero
(anti-clockwise).
