If you want to preheat the appliance without ingredients, turn the timer knob to more than 3 minutes and wait until the thermostat
light goes out (after aproxx. 3 minutes). Then remove the pan, fill the basket and turn the timer knob to the required preparation
time.
• The on/off control light and the thermostat light go on.
• The timer starts counting down the set preparation time.
• During the hot air frying process, the thermostat light lights up and goes out from time to time. This indicates that the heating
element is switched on and off to maintain a constant temperature.
• Excess oil from the ingredients is collected on the bottom of the pan.
8. Some ingredients require shaking halfway through the preparation time. Take the pan out of the appliance by the handle and
shake it with the ingredients. Then slide the pan back into the air fryer and continue to bake.
Attention: do not press the unlock button on the handle.
9. When you hear the timer signal, 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 temperature knob to 0, or pull out the pan directly.
10. 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 more minutes.
11. To remove small ingredients (e.g. fries), press the basket release button and lift the basket out of the pan.
Do not turn the basket upside down with the pan still attached to it, as any excess oil that has been 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 the ingredients in the air fryer, steam
may escape from the pan.
After hot air frying, the pan and the inside metal cover are hot, avoid touching these parts.
12. Empty the basket into a bowl or onto a plate. Use a pair of tongs to lift the ingredients out of the basket with large or fragile
ingredients.
13. When a portion of ingredients is ready, the air fryer is instantly ready for preparing another portion.

The chart in the chapter will help you to select the best settings for the ingredients you want to prepare.
Attention: 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 hot 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 larger ingredients.
• A larger amount of ingredients only requires a slightly longer preparation time, a smaller amount of ingredients only requires a
slightly shorter preparation time.
• Shaking smaller ingredients a few times starting halfway through the preparation time optimizes the end result and can help
prevent unevenly fried ingredients.
• Do not prepare extremely greasy ingredients such as sausages in the air fryer.
• Snacks that can be prepared in a oven can also be prepared in the air fryer.
• GF250HL: The optimal amount for preparing crispy fries is 500 grams. The maximum amount is 800 grams.
GF400HL: The optimal amount for preparing crispy fries is 700 grams. The maximum amount is 1500 grams.
• Use pre-made dough to prepare filled snacks quickly and easily. Pre-made dough also requires a shorter preparation time than
home-made dough.
• Place a baking tin or oven dish in the air fryer if you want to bake a cake or quiche or if you want to fry fragile ingredients or filled
ingredients.
• You can also use the air fryer to reheat ingredients. To reheat ingredients, set the temperature to 150°C for up to 10 minutes.
