To guarantee consistent cooking, it is necessary to shake some foods during the cooking process. To do this, simply remove the outer frying basket and the frying basket from the casing. Now gently shake the contents according to requirements and slide the outer basket back into the appliance to continue cooking. For heavier foods, you may prefer to separate the frying basket from the outer frying basket before shaking the food.

To do so, remove the frying basket and connected outer frying basket from the appliance and place them on a heat-resistant surface. Now move the sliding button guard forward to free the basket release button. Now press button (2) and carefully raise the frying basket. Shake the food, then put the basket back into the outer basket and into the Power AirFryer XL/XXL/XL to finish the cooking process.

CAUTION:
The outer frying basket will be hot; wear oven gloves during this process. Never remove the sliding button guard during shaking as the basket release button may be pressed accidentally.

Tip:
Set the timer to half of the cooking time. It will then ring when it is time to shake the food in the frying basket.

The audio signal at the end of the cooking time

When you hear the timer’s audio signal, the pre-set cooking time has expired. Now remove the outer frying basket from the appliance and place it on a heat-resistant surface. To remove the foods, place the outer frying basket on a heat-resistant surface. Now, move the sliding button guard forward. Press the basket release button (2) and lift the frying basket from the outer basket. Turn the frying basket over and slowly empty the food onto a plate.

Use kitchen utensils (spatula etc) to remove larger foods, together with a smooth surface. Never turn the outer frying basket upside down, while the frying basket is still engaged. Excess oil that has accumulated on the bottom of the outer frying basket will leak onto your foods. With the Power AirFryer XL/XXL/XXXL you can easily prepare several basket fillings of tasty dishes, one after the other.
