Kookgids
The following table provides general guidelines for common foods. Cooking times and temperatures may vary based on food quantity, size, and desired crispness. Always ensure food is cooked to a safe internal temperature.
| Kos item | Temperatuur | Tyd | Notas |
|---|---|---|---|
| Friet (bevrore) | 400°F (200°C) | 15-20 min | Skud halfpad |
| Hoenderboudjies | 360°F (180°C) | 20-25 min | Draai halfpad |
| Spekvleis | 350°F (175°C) | 20-25 min | Enkellaag |
| Varktjops | 400°F (200°C) | 10-15 min | Draai halfpad |
| Garnale | 330°F (165°C) | 8-15 min | Skud halfpad |

| Baked Goods (e.g., small cake) | 310°F (155°C) | 20-30 min | Use oven-safe dish |
Algemene wenke:
- Kleiner voedselsoorte benodig gewoonlik 'n effens korter kooktyd as groter items.
- A small amount of oil can be added to fresh ingredients for a crispier result, but is often not necessary.
- Om die lugbraaier vir 3-5 minute voor te verhit voordat jy kos byvoeg, kan die kookresultate verbeter.
Skoonmaak en Onderhoud
Gereelde skoonmaak van jou lugbraaier sal optimale werkverrigting verseker en sy lewensduur verleng.
- Ontkoppel en verkoel: Ontkoppel altyd die lugbraaier van die kragtoevoer en laat dit heeltemal afkoel voordat jy dit skoonmaak.
- Frying Basket and Outer Pan: The non-stick frying basket and outer pan are dishwasher safe. Alternatively, they can be washed by hand with warm, soapy water and a non-abrasive sponge. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely.
- Binnekant van die toestel: Vee die binnekant af met advertensieamp lap. Vir hardnekkige voedselreste, gebruik 'n sagte skoonmaakmiddel en 'n sagte borsel. Maak seker dat die binnekant heeltemal droog is voor die volgende gebruik.
- Buitekant van die toestel: Vee die buitekant met adamp lap. Moenie skuurmiddels of skuursponse gebruik nie, aangesien dit die oppervlak kan beskadig.
- Verhittingselement: If necessary, gently clean the heating element with a soft brush to remove any food particles.
