How to use the Steam or Steam&Airfry functions of my Philips Airfryer

1. How to prepare:

• Remove the water tank from the appliance and fill it without exceeding the MAX level indication.
• Secure the lid and place the tank properly to avoid issues.
• Place the water tank onto the groove at the top of the appliance and ensure that it is secured in place.
• Place the device 20 cm from the wall, and do not position the air outlet directly in front of the socket.

2. Setting up the pan and basket:

• Remove the big pan with the basket, then place the basket into the big pan.
• Add ingredients to the basket following the food table (see the food table below) for quantities and cooking times.

3. How to start cooking:

• Insert the pan back into the Airfryer.
• Press the Power On/Off button and select the big pan.
• Then select the Steam function and adjust the time and temperature as needed (see the food table below).
• Press the Start/Pause button to begin the cooking process.

4. During cooking you can:

• Shake the pan when prompted.
• Adjust settings if needed.

5. The food is ready:

• Check if ingredients are ready when the timer bell rings. If they are not, slide the basket back in and add a few extra minutes.
• Remove ingredients carefully using barbecue tongs.

Important:

• Do not tilt the pan when removing the ingredients, as the basket could fall out and water may splash.
• After the cooking process, the pan, the basket, the interior housing and the ingredients are hot.
• Depending on the type of ingredients in the Airfryer, steam may escape from the pan.
