The Blaupunkt Air Fryer, Model Number 382131, is a kitchen appliance designed for frying food with less fat, and can also be used for baking and roasting. It operates on hot air, providing a healthier alternative to traditional deep frying.
The air fryer utilizes hot air circulation to cook food, offering a method for preparing fried foods with a lower fat content. It is versatile enough to handle various snacks and dishes that would typically be cooked in an electric fan oven. The appliance features a temperature control dial and a 30-minute timer for precise cooking. A power LED indicator light signals when the unit is operating. The design includes a removable basket and a drip tray, making it easy to load ingredients and collect excess oil.
Before first use, it is recommended to remove all packaging, stickers, and labels. The basket and drip tray should be thoroughly cleaned with hot water, washing-up liquid, and a non-abrasive sponge, then dried completely. These parts are also dishwasher safe. The inside and outside of the appliance can be wiped with a damp cloth.
To use the appliance, place it on a flat, stable, heat-resistant work surface away from water splashes. It is crucial not to fill the pan with oil or frying fat, as this is an air fryer that works on hot air. Do not place anything on top of the appliance, as this disrupts airflow and affects cooking results. Connect the power supply cord to an electrical socket.
The removable basket, equipped with a non-stick coating, should be carefully removed using its handle. The drip tray is placed into the base of the basket, and ingredients are then placed into the basket on top of the drip tray. A teaspoon of oil or oil spray can be added to ingredients, depending on the food type, but it should be applied to the ingredients themselves, not the basket. The basket should never be filled beyond the MAX indication or exceed the recommended amount in the cooking chart to ensure optimal results. Once loaded, slide the basket securely back into the air fryer.
To begin cooking, turn the temperature control dial to the desired temperature and the timer dial to the required preparation time. When the appliance is cold, add 5 minutes to the preparation time. The air fryer will not heat if the timer dial is not set. The power LED will illuminate, and the air fryer will start heating once the basket is fully closed. During frying, the LED will cycle on and off to maintain the set temperature.
Some foods may require shaking halfway through the cooking time. To do this, remove the basket by pulling the handle, gently shake the cooking compartment, and then slide it back into the air fryer. The power light and air fryer will turn off when the drawer is pulled out, but the timer will continue to count down. Heating will resume once the basket is securely re-inserted.
A beep will sound when the set air frying time expires. After cooking, allow food to rest for 5-10 seconds before removing the basket drawer. Use heat-resistant tongs to remove food, especially if it is large or fragile, to avoid tipping excess oil from the drip tray directly onto a plate. The air fryer will turn off automatically, and the power light will turn off when the timer runs out. After use, turn both the temperature control dial to 0 and the timer dial to OFF.
The appliance should be cleaned after every use. The non-stick coating on the basket and drip tray requires care; avoid using metal kitchen utensils or abrasive cleaning materials to prevent damage.
