Instructions & Manual

Frequent questions

How to better use my product

What is the best way of cooking chips and to avoid soggy chips?

Wash the cut chips twice in a bowl of water before cooking to remove any excess starch. It is then essential to dry them thoroughly before cooking in a clean, absorbent tea towel and finally patted dry with kitchen paper. If you are cooking frozen chips you do not need to add any oil as these already contain oil and could make the chips soggy. If using the 2 in1 feature (bowl + tray) after the food is cooked on the tray, cook the chips for a further 2-5 minutes after you've removed the tray to make them crispier.

How much oil do I need to add for frozen chips?

None as the chips already contain oil.

Why are my frozen chips soggy?

If you are cooking frozen chips you do not need to add any oil as they already contain oil.

Why aren't my chips crispy enough?

There are many possible reasons:
• You may not have used the right variety of potatoes.
• The potatoes were insufficiently washed and dried prior to cooking and still contain too much starch.
• The chips are too thick. Cut the chips thinner.
• You have not used enough oil. Increase the amount of oil.
• The filter may be obstructed. Clean the filter. (ActiFry models only)

How should I cut potatoes?

The size of the chip affects how crunchy or soft it is.
The thinner the chips, the more crunchy they will be and conversely, thicker chips will be softer inside.
Depending on your taste preferences, you may vary the cooking time and the cut of your chips: thin: 8 x 8 mm/Standard: 10 x 10 mm/Thick: 13 x 13 mm.

How should I prepare potatoes?

For best results, wash the whole potatoes and then sliced potatoes in plenty of water until it runs clear.
This allows you to remove as much starch as possible to prevent the chips from sticking together.
Dry them thoroughly using a dry, absorbent kitchen towel.
The chips should be completely dry before cooking.

What is the most suitable oil to use?

You can vary your pleasures and use different oils!
Standard oils: olive, rapeseed*, grape seed, corn, peanut, sunflower, soybean*
Flavoured oils: aromatic herbs, chilli, garlic, lemon...
Special oils: hazelnut*, sesame*, safflower*, almond*, avocado*, argan*...
We advise against using walnut oil, which results in a rancid taste after cooking.
(* cooking oil according to manufacturer).

Is it absolutely necessary to respect the indicated maximum quantities?

Do not exceed the maximum quantities and operating times indicated in the recipe table, otherwise you will not get the expected result and may damage your device.

Why is the food not cooked evenly?

Fries or food are not cut evenly. They should be cut to the same size for perfect cooking.

Can the basket be pulled out during cooking?

There is no danger in pulling out the basket during cooking, but it is not recommended.
This will lower the temperature inside the device and, for "Smart" recipes, it may disrupt the cooking settings designed for optimal results.
