Using the appliance
The Airfryer can prepare a large range of ingredients. You can find more recipes at www.philips.com/kitchen.Hot air frying
- Put the mains plug in an earthed wall socket.
- Carefully pull the pan out of the Airfryer (Fig. 4).
- Put the ingredients in the basket (Fig. 5).Note: Never fill the basket beyond the MAX indication or exceed the amount indicated in the table (see section `Settings’ in this chapter), as this could affect the quality of the end result.
- Slide the pan back into the Airfryer (Fig. 6). Never use the pan without the basket in it.Caution: Do not touch the pan during and some time after use, as it gets very hot. Only hold the pan by the handle.
- Turn the temperature control knob to the required temperature. See section `Settings’ in this chapter to determine the right temperature (Fig. 7).Note: If you want to prepare different ingredients at the same time, make sure you check the preparation time and the temperature required for the different ingredients before you start to prepare them simultaneously. Home-made fries and drumsticks, for example, can be prepared simultaneously because they require the same settings.
- Determine the required preparation time for the ingredient (see section `Settings’ in this chapter).
- To switch on the appliance, turn the timer knob to the required preparation time (Fig. 8). Add 3 minutes to the preparation time when the appliance is cold.Note: If you want, you can also let the appliance preheat without any ingredients inside. In that case, turn the timer knob to more than 3 minutes. Then fill the basket and turn the timer knob to the required preparation time. , The timer starts counting down the set preparation time. , Excess oil from the ingredients is collected on the bottom of the pan.
- Some ingredients require shaking halfway through the preparation time (see section Settings’ in this chapter). To shake the ingredients, pull the pan out of the appliance by the handle and shake it. Then slide the pan back into the Airfryer (Fig. 9). Caution: Do not press the basket release button during shaking (Fig. 10). Tip: To reduce the weight, you can remove the basket from the pan and shake the basket only. To do so, pull the pan out of the appliance, place it on a heat-resistant surface and press the basket release button. Tip: If you set the timer to half the preparation time, you hear the timer bell when you have to shake the ingredients. However, this means that you have to set the timer again to the remaining preparation time after shaking.
- When you hear the timer bell, the set preparation time has elapsed. Pull the pan 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 (Fig. 8).
- Check if the ingredients are ready. If the ingredients are not ready yet, simply slide the pan back into the appliance and set the timer to a few extra minutes.
- To remove small ingredients (e.g. fries), press the basket release button (1) and lift the basket out of the pan (2). (Fig. 11) Do not turn the basket upside down with the pan still attached to it, as any excess oil that has collected on the bottom of the pan will leak onto the ingredients. After hot air frying, the pan and the ingredients are hot. Depending on the type of ingredients in the Airfryer, steam may escape from the pan.
- Empty the basket into a bowl or onto a plate. (Fig. 12) Tip: To remove large or fragile ingredients, use a pair of tongs to lift the ingredients out of the basket (Fig. 13).
- When a batch of ingredients is ready, the Airfryer is instantly ready for preparing another batch.
Settings
This table below helps you to select the basic settings for the ingredients you want to prepare.Note: Keep in mind that these settings are indications. As ingredients differ in origin, size, shape as well as brand, we cannot guarantee the best setting for your ingredients. Because the Rapid Air technology instantly reheats the air inside the appliance, pulling the pan briefly out of the appliance during hot air frying barely disturbs the process.Tips – Smaller ingredients usually require a slightly shorter preparation time than largeringredients. – A larger amount of ingredients only requires a slightly longer preparation time, asmaller amount of ingredients only requires a slightly shorter preparation time. – Shaking smaller ingredients halfway through the preparation time optimises the endresult and can help prevent unevenly fried ingredients. – Add some oil to fresh potatoes for a crispy result. Fry your ingredients in the Airfryerwithin a few minutes after you added the oil. – Snacks that can be prepared in an oven can also be prepared in the Airfryer. – The optimal amount for preparing crispy fries is 500 grams. – Use pre-made dough to prepare filled snacks quickly and easily. Pre-made doughalso requires a shorter preparation time than home-made dough. – You can also use the Airfryer to reheat ingredients. To reheat ingredients, set thetemperature to 150°C for up to 10 minutes.

Making home-made fries
For the best results, we advise to use pre-baked (e.g. frozen) fries. If you want to make home-made fries, follow the steps below.
- Peel the potatoes and cut them into sticks.
- Soak the potato sticks in a bowl for at least 30 minutes, take them out and dry them with kitchen paper.
- Pour ½ tablespoon of olive oil in a bowl, put the sticks on top and mix until the sticks are coated with oil.
- Remove the sticks from the bowl with your fingers or a kitchen utensil so that excessoil stays behind in the bowl. Put the sticks in the basket.Note: Do not tilt the bowl to put all the sticks in the basket in one go, to prevent excess oil from ending up on the bottom of the pan.
- Fry the potato sticks according to the instructions in this chapter.
Cleaning
Clean the appliance after every use. The pan, basket and the inside 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. 1 Remove the mains plug from the wall socket and let the appliance cool down. Note: Remove the pan to let the Airfryer cool down more quickly. 2 Wipe the outside of the appliance with a moist cloth. 3 Clean the pan, and basket with hot water, some washing-up liquid and a non-abrasive sponge. You can use a degreasing liquid to remove any remaining dirt. Note: The pan, and basket are dishwasher-proof. Tip: If dirt is stuck to the basket, or the bottom of the pan, fill the pan with hot water with some washing-up liquid. Put the basket in the pan and let the pan and the basket soak for approximately 10 minutes. 4 Clean the inside of the appliance with hot water and a non-abrasive sponge. 5 Clean the heating element with a cleaning brush to remove any food residues.Storage1 Unplug the appliance and let it cool down. 2 Make sure all parts are clean and dry. 3 Push the cord into the cord storage compartment.

Problem White smoke comes out of the appliance.Fresh fries are fried unevenly in the Airfryer.Fresh fries are not crispy when they come out of the Airfryer.
Possible cause You are preparing greasy ingredients.The pan still contains grease residues from previous use.You did not soak the potato sticks properly before you fried them. You did not use the right potato type. The crispiness of the fries depends on the amount of oil and water in the fries.
SolutionWhen you fry greasy ingredients in the Airfryer, a large amount of oil will leak into the pan. The oil produces white smoke and the pan may heat up more than usual. This does not affect the appliance or the end result.White smoke is caused by grease heating up in the pan. Make sure you clean the pan properly after each use.Soak the potato sticks in a bowl for at least 30 minutes, take them out and dry them with kitchen paper.Use fresh potatoes and make sure they stay firm during frying.Make sure you dry the potato sticks properly before you add the oil.Cut the potato sticks smaller for a crispier result.Add slightly more oil for a crispier result.
