BEFORE FIRST USE

1.  Remove all packaging material.
2.  Remove any stickers or labels from the appliance.
3.   Thoroughly clean the the bowl and the removable grid with hot water, some washing-up

liquid and a non-abrasive sponge.

Note: You can also clean these parts in the dishwasher.

4. Wipe the inside and outside of the appliance with a damp cloth. Easy Fry works by

producing hot air. Do not fill the bowl (

) with oil or frying fat.

PREPARING FOR USE

1. Place the appliance on a flat, stable, heat-resistant work surface away from water

splashes.

Do not fill the bowl with oil or any other liquid.
Do not put anything on top of the appliance. This disrupts the airflow and affects
the hot air frying result.

USING THE APPLIANCE

Easy Fry can cook a large range of recipes. Cooking times for the main foods are given in
the section ‘Cooking Guide’. Online recipes at www.tefal.co.uk help you get to know the
appliance.
1.  Connect the power supply cord to an electrical socket.
2.   Carefully pull the bowl out of the Easy Fry.
3.  Place the food in the bowl.

Note: Never fill the bowl beyond the MAX level mark or exceed the maximum
amount indicated in the table (see into section ‘Cooking Guide’), as this could affect
the quality of the end result.

4. Slide the bowl back into the Easy Fry.

Caution: Do not touch the bowl during use and for some time after use, as it gets very
hot. Only hold the bowl by the handle.

5. Move the temperature control knob to the required temperature. See section ‘Cooking

Guide’ to select the right temperature

6. Select the required cooking time (

see section ‘Cooking Guide’

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 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 Easy Fry.
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 the grid which may fall out.
After hot air frying, the bowl, the grid and the food are very hot. Depending on the type
of food cooked in the Easy Fry, be careful as steam may escape from the bowl.

13. When a batch of food is ready, the Easy Fry is instantly ready for preparing another

batch of food.

COOKING GUIDE

The table below helps you to select the basic settings for the food you want to prepare.

Note: The cooking times below are only a guide and may vary according to the variety
and batch of potatoes used. For other foods the size, shape and brand may affect results.
Therefore, you may need to adjust the cooking time slightly.

IMPORTANT: To avoid damaging your appliance, never exceed the maximum quantities of ingredients and
liquids indicated in the instruction manual and in the recipes.

***place a cake tin/oven dish in the bowl (silicon, stainless steel, aluminium, terracotta
oven dish).

When you use mixtures that rise (such as with cake, quiche or muffins) the oven dish should
not be filled more than halfway.

TIPS

• Smaller foods usually require a slightly shorter cooking time than larger size foods.
• A larger amount of food only requires a slightly longer cooking time, a smaller amount of

food only requires a slightly shorter cooking time.

• Shaking smaller size foods halfway through the cooking time improves the end result

and can help prevent uneven cooking.

• Add some oil to fresh potatoes for a crispy result. After adding a spoon of oil, fry the

potatoes within a few minutes.

•  Do not cook extremely greasy foods in the Easy Fry.
•  Snacks that can be cooked in an oven can also be cooked in the Easy Fry.
•  The optimal recommended quantity for cooking fries is 700 grams.
•   Use ready made puff and shortcrust pastry to make filled snacks quickly and easily.
•   Place an oven dish in the Easy Fry bowl if you want to bake a cake or quiche or if you

want to fry fragile ingredients or filled ingredients. You can use an oven dish in silicon,
stainless steel, aluminium, terracotta.

• You can also use the Easy Fry to reheat food. To reheat food, set the temperature to

160°C for up to 10 minutes.

MAKING HOME-MADE CHIPS

For the best results, we advise to use frozen chips. If you want to make home-made chips,
follow the steps below.
1. Choose a variety of potato recommended for making chips. Peel the potatoes and cut

them into equal thickness chips.

2. Soak the potato chips in a bowl of cold water for at least 30 minutes, drain them and dry

them with a clean, highly absorbent tea towel. Then pat with paper kitchen towel. The
chips must be thoroughly dry before cooking.

3. Pour ½ tablespoon of oil (vegetable, sunflower or olive) in a dry bowl, put the chips on top

and mix until they are coated with oil.

4. Remove the chips from the bowl with your fingers or a kitchen utensil so that any excess

oil stays behind in the bowl. Place the chips in the bowl.

Note: Do not tip the container of oil coated chips directly into the bowl in one go,
otherwise excess oil will end up at the bottom of the bowl.

5. Fry the chips according to the instructions in the section Cooking guide.

CLEANING

Clean the appliance after every use.

The bowl and the grid have a non-stick coating. Do not use metal kitchen utensils or
abrasive cleaning materials to clean them, as this may damage the nonstick coating.

1. Remove the main plug from the wall socket and let the appliance cool down. Note:

Remove the bowl to let the Easy Fry cool down more quickly.

2. Wipe the outside of the appliance with a damp cloth.
3. Clean the bowl and grid 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 bowl and grid are dishwasher-safe.
Tip: If dirt is stuck at the bottom of the bowl and the grid, fill them with hot water
and some washing-up liquid. Let the bowl and the grid soak for approximately 10
minutes. Then rinse clean and dry.

4.  Wipe inside of the appliance with hot water and a damp cloth.
5.  Clean the heating element with a dry, cleaning brush to remove any food residues.
6.  Do not immerse the appliance in water or any other liquid.
