Initial Heating Settings

First HeatingManually set temperature and time195°C / 20min

After about 10 minutes, remove the basket and use tongs to flip the food over. Check the condition once the cooking cycle is complete. Examine the thickest part to verify that the center meets the criteria listed in the “Done” section. Transfer any items that meet the criteria to a clean plate. If the food is not yet done, and provided there is no burning or other abnormalities, remove the probe and return the food to the basket, then resume cooking for the remaining time you originally set. If the food is still not done after the set time has elapsed, stop heating and proceed to the final check. Do not resume cooking if the food has started to burn. If you notice smoke, an unusual odor, or an error indicator, stop the appliance immediately, discontinue use, and follow the instructions in the user manual.

If the food has not met the completion criteria after the initial heating, and there is no burning or other abnormality, perform only 1 additional heating step. If it still fails the recheck, do not eat it.manual195°C / 1min

Instructions for preheating, mid-cooking checks, and how to check for doneness are included in the preparation instructions.

Cut the potatoes, soak them in water, and pat them dry. After preparing the ingredients, preheat the air fryer.

Check Before Cooking
  • Cut the potatoes into thin strips approximately 7mm square. Do not use this setting for frozen potatoes or thick wedges.
  • Attach the Crisp plate and arrange the ingredients in a single layer without stacking them. If they do not fit, do not start heating; proceed to the “Arrangement” section in the conditions. The 4.7L specification does not indicate a maximum food weight limit.
  • The instructions call for preparing the unit while it is cool, preheating it to 195℃ using the “Preheat” function, and then adding the ingredients. The standard preheating time for this temperature is 3 minutes.
  • Do not place food or paper inside while the appliance is preheating. Do not use the water-addition mode, and do not let water, oil, or sauce accumulate in the basket. Ensure proper ventilation of the plate.
  • Cover ingredients that will be used later and refrigerate them.
  • Before heating, arrange the specified amount for one batch in a single layer with gaps, and check that everything fits. If it does not fit, do not start; choose an official procedure for the same model that matches the amount and thickness. Do not split it into batches while keeping the original time or scale the time in proportion to the weight.
  • If you pull out the basket while holding down the basket release button, the heating and timer will pause. Place the basket on a trivet to check it; when you return it, the cycle will automatically resume. To stop the cycle while it is running, press the Start/Pause button. Remove the food once it is ready; if it is not yet ready but shows signs of burning or other abnormalities, do not return the basket to resume the cycle.

  3. 03

    Preheat the unit

    Properly attach the Crisp plate to the basket and return it to the unit without adding any food. Select “Preheat,” set the temperature to 195℃, and start the cycle. Wait for the 3-minute preheat cycle—which is set automatically—to complete. Prepare a heat-resistant surface where you can place the hot basket.

  4. 04

    Arrange them in a single layer and heat manually.

    Once preheating is complete, remove the basket and arrange the ingredients on the plate, leaving space between them so they do not overlap. Return the basket to the unit, manually set the temperature to 195℃ and the time to 20 minutes, and start the cycle. Do not use the preset’s default time. After approximately 10 minutes, remove the basket and use tongs to flip the ingredients and rotate them to ensure even cooking. Check the progress during cooking according to the “Complete,” “Not Complete,” or “Abnormal” indicators in the “Heating Stage” section, and use the controls in the “Conditions” section to stop or resume the process.

    Check the condition and finish cooking

    Break 1 of the thicker pieces in half to check that the center is not hard and crumbles easily. While still hot, toss with salt and your favorite pepper.

  6. 06

    Verify the completion criteria

    If the dish does not meet the completion criteria, stop heating and proceed to the final check step. If the surface begins to burn, do not continue heating as is; stop adding more food.

    What to check if the food is not yet done

    If the center of a thick potato stick is hard, stop cooking and do not eat it. If the official instructions in the reference section or the product label do not confirm settings for 300g of raw potato sticks with a 7mm square cross-section, starting at room temperature, do not repeat heating based on guesswork.

If you get stuck along the way

Become soft

Reevaluate moisture content, layering, and oil distribution.

The outside is browned, but the center is still hard

Check the cutting method and trim any thick pieces to 7mm for next time. Do not continue cooking at the same setting until the food burns.
