2. Pull the basket handle to remove the basket from the Air Fryer. Use the tray handle, in the center of the tray, to remove the tray. Use a sponge and warm, soapy water to wash the inside and outside of the basket and tray. The basket and the tray are top-rack dishwasher safe.

WARNING: Do not use abrasive cleaning agents or scouring pads.

3. Dry thoroughly.

1. Connect the mains plug to an earthed wall socket.

2. Carefully pull the basket out of the ZELMER ZAF5501W.

3. Put the ingredients into the basket. WARNING: Never fill the basket exceeding the amount indicated in the recipes table, as this could affect the quality of the end results.

5. Press and hold the “Power (8)” button to switch on the air fryer; the power indicator light twinkles. Press the temperature control touch button to the required temperature.

6. Determine the required preparation time for the ingredient.

7. Press the power button to start cooking, and press the time touch buttons (9) & (11) to the required preparation time, and press the temperature touch buttons (2) & (4) to the required temperature. The power indicator light will keep lightning, and the cooking sign indicator will go on. When the time is reached, the display panel will show “OFF”, and it will make 6 “beep” sounds. This indicates cooking is finished, and the fan will continue running for 20 seconds.

8. Add 3 minutes to the preparation time when the appliance is cold, or you can also let the appliance preheat without any ingredients inside for approx. 4 minutes.

9. Some ingredients require shaking halfway through the preparation time. To shake or turn over the ingredients, pull the basket out of the appliance by the handle and shake it or turn over the ingredients by fork (or tongs). Then put the basket back into the ZELMER ZAF5501W.

10. When you hear the timer bell, the set preparation time has elapsed. Pull the basket out of the appliance and place it on a heat-resistant surface. Check if the ingredients are ready. If the ingredients are not ready yet, simply slide the basket back into the appliance and set the timer for a few extra minutes.

To remove large or fragile ingredients, use a pair of tongs to lift the ingredients out. Empty the basket into a bowl or onto a plate.

The following table helps you select the basic settings for the ingredients you want to prepare with your ZELMER ZAF5501W. Note that these settings are indications. As ingredients differ in origin, size, and shape, as well as brand, we cannot guarantee the best setting for your ingredients.

The temperatures and times recommended above are based on the listed recommended amounts and weights. If using a smaller amount or weight, check food sooner than the recommended time because it will likely cook faster.

Note: Use extreme caution while handling hot food in the fryer basket. Excess oil will drip into the basket when preparing greasy foods. Empty the basket after every use.

• Almost any food that is traditionally cooked in the oven can be air fried.

• Foods cook best and most evenly when they are of similar size and thickness.

• Smaller pieces of food require less cooking time than larger pieces.

• For best results in the shortest amount of time, air fry food in small batches. Avoid stacking or layering when possible.

• Most prepackaged foods do not need to be tossed in oil before air frying. Most already contain oil and other ingredients that enhance browning and crispiness.

• Frozen appetizers air fry very well. For best results, arrange them on the tray in a single layer.

• If layering foods, be sure to shake the basket halfway through (or flip food) to promote even cooking.

• Toss foods you are preparing from scratch, such as French fries or other vegetables, with a small amount of oil to promote browning and crispiness.

• When air frying fresh vegetables, make sure to pat them dry completely before tossing with oil and air frying to ensure maximum crispiness.

• Air fryers are great for reheating food, including pizza. To reheat your food, set the temperature to 150°C for up to 10 minutes.

• Ensure the ZELMER ZAF5501W Air Fryer is unplugged and cool before cleaning.

• Once the Air Fryer and basket are cool, remove the basket from the Air Fryer (if it is not already removed). Use the tray handle to remove the tray. Use a sponge and warm, soapy water to wash the inside and outside of the basket and tray.

Warning: Do not use abrasive cleaning agents or scouring pads.

• The basket and the tray are top-rack dishwasher safe.

• Gently wipe down the exterior with a damp cloth or paper towel.

• Never immerse the Air Fryer or its plug in water or any other liquid.

• Dry all parts thoroughly before storage.

• Store the Air Fryer in a cool, dry place.
