Question How do I clean the outside and inside of my AirFryer?

Answer Because the AirFryer is not filled with oil, the outside of the appliance will not get greasy like a

conventional deep fat fryer. The outside of the appliance can be cleaned with a moist cloth.

The inside of the appliance can be cleaned with hot water and a soft sponge.

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

Question How do I clean the pan and the basket?

Answer Let the appliance cool down for approx. 30 minutes before you clean it.

The pan, basket of the appliance have a non-stick coating. Do not use metal kitchen utensils or abrasive

cleaning materials to clean them, as this may damage the non-stick coating.

The pan, basket are dishwasher-proof. You can also clean the pan, basket with hot water, some

washing-up liquid and a non-abrasive sponge.

Tip: If food residues are stuck to the bottom of the pan, you can fill it with hot water and detergent and

leave it to soak for 5 to 10 minutes. Soaking will loosen the food residues and will make it easier to

remove. The quality of your detergent determines how easy it is to remove food residues and fat. Make

sure you use a detergent that can dissolve oil.

If there are fat stains on the pan or the basket and you have not been able to remove them with a

suitable detergent, use a liquid degreaser. Follow the instructions on the package.

Question How long does the AirFryer have to cool down before I can store it?

Answer We advise you to let the AirFryer cool down before you store it. You can speed up the cooling-down

process by taking the pan out of the appliance after use. When you have removed the pan, cooling down

takes between 30 and 45 minutes.

You can cool down the pan by filling it with cold tap water.

Question I see some bubbles inside my AirFryer. Is it dangerous?

Answer No, it’s not harmful as the materials used have been developed for being food safe.

Nevertheless, if bubbles inside the pan of your AirFryer appear please contact your Philips Customer

Care Center.

Question I see some peeling off spots inside my AirFryer. Is it dangerous?

Answer Some small spots can appear inside the pan of the AirFryer due to the incidental touching / scratching of

the coating (e.g. while inserting the basket or during cleaning). This should not normally happen if you

insert the basket precisely parallel. Otherwise if already occurred this is not harmful as the materials

have been developed for being food safe.

Question If a food smell stays behind in the AirFryer, how can I reduce it?

Answer When you cook ingredients that have a strong smell, this smell may stick to the appliance.

Make sure you clean the pan, the basket and the grill area after use.

If the AirFryer continues to smell after cleaning, you can neutralize the smell with some lemon.

Instructions:

1. Cut a lemon in half and put it in the basket or fill the bottom of the pan with a bit of lemon

juice.

2. Leave the lemon or lemon juice in the appliance for 20-30 minutes, without switching the

appliance on.

3. Rinse the pan with water and some washing-up liquid.

Question My home-made fries do not turn out as I expected. What can I do?

Answer If you want to make good home-made fries in the AirFryer, pay attention to the following:

- Choose a potato race suitable for making fries.

- Best to bake the fries in portions of up to 500 grams for an even result.

- Larger fries can get less crispy than smaller fries.

- Shake the basket 2-3 times through the air frying process.

Instructions how to prepare Home-made fries:

1. Peel the potatoes and cut them into sticks.

2. Soak the potato sticks in a bowl for at least 30 minutes, take them out and dry them with

kitchen paper.

3. Pour a half tablespoon of olive oil in a bowl, put the sticks in the bowl and mix until the sticks

are coated with oil.

4. Remove the sticks from the bowl with your fingers or a kitchen utensil so that excess oil stays

behind in the bowl. Put the sticks in the basket.

5. Fry the potato sticks at 180°C and shake the basket halfway through the air frying process.

Shake 2-3 times if you prepare more than 400g of fries.

Question What can I prepare in the AirFryer?

Answer

In the AirFryer you can prepare a variety of tasty foods, such as French fries, potatoes, snacks, meat

and poultry. You can also use it to prepare more extensive dishes, such as tapas. You can even bake

brownies in it!

Meat dishes

Chicken, beef and most other dishes that are usually fried, grilled or roasted taste well when prepared in

the AirFryer.

Vegetables

Vegetables that can be grilled, such as zucchini, corncobs or peppers, can be prepared in the AirFryer.

Vegetables that are usually cooked or steamed, such as carrots, broccoli and beans, cannot be prepared

in the AirFryer.

Frozen foods

Frozen potato-based products and snacks can be prepared in the AirFryer. It is not necessary to defrost

frozen ingredients before preparing them in the AirFryer. Frozen ingredients do require a slightly longer

preparation time, but this will not influence the end result. The temperature knob enables you to choose

the best setting for each ingredient.

Multiple dishes It is also possible to simultaneously prepare two different types of ingredients in the AirFryer. You simply place the divider in the basket and fill the basket on either side with different ingredients, for example chicken drumsticks on one side and potato wedges on the other. Make sure the preparation temperatures of the different ingredients match.
