Overview

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.

Function Description:

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.

Important Technical Specifications:

  • Model Number: 382131
  • Voltage: AC 220-240V~50Hz
  • Power: 1400W
  • Controls: Temperature control dial, 30-minute timer
  • Indicators: Power LED indicator light
  • Components: Removable basket, handle, drip tray

Usage Features:

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.

Tips for Usage:

  • For homemade fries/potato wedges, wash, dry, and toss potatoes in a spoonful of cooking oil before placing them in the basket.
  • For crispier fries, cut chips into smaller sticks or use more oil.
  • Avoid overfilling the frying basket; do not exceed 2/3 full for most foods.
  • Rinse raw starchy foods (e.g., potatoes) with water and pat dry to prevent sticking.
  • Do not leave food in the frying basket for too long after frying, as steam can soften coatings.
  • Raw foods typically require a lower frying temperature than cooked or partially cooked foods.
  • Cooking times vary based on food shape, thickness, and composition. Smaller, similarly sized pieces cook quicker.
  • Arrange food with spaces to allow hot air circulation.
  • Cook foods with lighter flavors before those with stronger flavors to prevent flavor transfer.
  • The air fryer can reheat small quantities of food (10 minutes at 150°C), always ensuring food is piping hot.

Maintenance Features:

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.

To clean:

  1. Unplug the appliance and allow it to cool down. Removing the basket helps it cool faster.
  2. Wipe the outside of the appliance with a cool, damp cloth.
  3. Clean the basket and drip tray in hot, soapy water. These parts are dishwasher safe.
  4. If food residue is stuck, fill the basket with hot soapy water and let it soak for 10 minutes, then rinse and dry.
  5. Wipe the inside of the appliance with hot water and a damp cloth.
  6. Never immerse the appliance in water or any other liquid.
