Wash the cut chips twice in a bowl of water before cooking to remove any excess starch. It is then essential to dry them thoroughly before cooking in a clean, absorbent tea towel and finally patted dry with kitchen paper. If you are cooking frozen chips you do not need to add any oil as these already contain oil and could make the chips soggy. If using the 2 in1 feature (bowl + tray) after the food is cooked on the tray, cook the chips for a further 2-5 minutes after you've removed the tray to make them crispier.
There are many possible reasons: • You may not have used the right variety of potatoes. • The potatoes were insufficiently washed and dried prior to cooking and still contain too much starch. • The chips are too thick. Cut the chips thinner. • You have not used enough oil. Increase the amount of oil. • The filter may be obstructed. Clean the filter. (ActiFry models only)
The size of the chip affects how crunchy or soft it is. The thinner the chips, the more crunchy they will be and conversely, thicker chips will be softer inside. Depending on your taste preferences, you may vary the cooking time and the cut of your chips: thin: 8 x 8 mm/Standard: 10 x 10 mm/Thick: 13 x 13 mm.
For best results, wash the whole potatoes and then sliced potatoes in plenty of water until it runs clear. This allows you to remove as much starch as possible to prevent the chips from sticking together. Dry them thoroughly using a dry, absorbent kitchen towel. The chips should be completely dry before cooking.
You can vary your pleasures and use different oils! Standard oils: olive, rapeseed*, grape seed, corn, peanut, sunflower, soybean* Flavoured oils: aromatic herbs, chilli, garlic, lemon... Special oils: hazelnut*, sesame*, safflower*, almond*, avocado*, argan*... We advise against using walnut oil, which results in a rancid taste after cooking. (* cooking oil according to manufacturer).

The bowl is too full. Observe the quantities indicated in the cooking table of the instruction manual. For Actifry: 1 Kg of fresh chips / 750 gr of frozen chips. For Actifry Familly: 1.5 kg of fresh chips / 1.2 kg of frozen chips.
There could be several reasons: • You didn't use the paddle. Use it for all cooking. • Fries or food are not cut evenly. The fries or food must be cut to the same size for perfect cooking. • The paddle does not rotate: check that the paddle is properly positioned.
There is no danger in opening the lid while cooking, but it is not recommended, even when the ingredients collect on the sides of the pan. This will lower the temperature inside the device and, for "Smart" recipes, may disrupt the cooking settings tested to guarantee perfect results.
Express cooking allows you to cook very quickly your recipes for soups, purees, compotes, meat chunks recipes, pasta or rice dishes...
What you need to know: • The filling level of the bowl should never exceed the MAX level. • For food that can expand during cooking (rice, seeds, lentils, peas, etc.), do not fill the bowl beyond half its maximum capacity. • The bowl should always be filled with a minimum of 250 ml of liquid. • When the timer reaches 0 and the following screen appears, you will notice a release of steam at the back of the lid.
CAUTION: Do not put your hands near the steam outlet! It is possible that a slight flow of steam may escape from the back of the product during cooking.
Strong browning allows you to brown ingredients strongly and gives a golden and crispy appearance to all types of ingredients such as potatoes, meat...
Ingredients should never be filled above the MAX level. The lid must always be open.
You control the cooking time. Leave the ingredients to cook until you are satisfied with the result. Then click 'STOP' to stop cooking.
• Low temperature cooking is ideal for long cooking times, up to 12 hours, with the lid closed for a tender and very melting result. • Classic simmering is used with the lid open to thicken or reduce a sauce at the end of cooking.
• The "Sous vide immersion" mode cooks the vacuum-sealed ingredients and immersed in 3L of water. • The "Sous vide Eco" mode cooks the ingredients with only 5 cl of water using the steam basket.
• The "Gentle steam" mode is ideal for healthily cooking delicate ingredients such as fish and seafood. • The "Boost steam" mode is more suitable for meat or vegetables.
• Leave it to cool down completely before cleaning. • Open the lid and lift the latch to remove. • Remove the paddle, cooking pan and removable filter. • All removable pieces are dishwasher safe or may be cleaned with a soft sponge and washing up liquid. • To prolong the life of your bowl or cooking tray, we recommend handwashing; for dishwasher use, it is preferable to use gentle detergents, such as liquid or gel. • Dry all the pieces carefully before putting everything back in place.
You have probably salted your food during the cooking process. Don't salt your food before the end of cooking to avoid scratching. For models using the tray, and to preserve its qualities for longer, do not use any metal utensils.
• Check that the opening handle is in the open position before moving the lid to the closed position (open padlock). • Check that the nut of the metal lid is quite tight. • Check that the violet ball cap (located on the top of the metal lid) is in the correct locked position (closed padlock). • If you are at the end of cooking and you want to close the lid, wait until the hot vapours have dissipated before closing the lid. • Check for foreign bodies between the bowl and the heating plate. Remove the bowl and check that the heating plate, the central element and the underside of the bowl are clean. Also check that the central element can move freely. • The bowl may be deformed (after an impact, fall...). The bowl must be changed at an authorised service centre.

It is an anomaly in the operation of the device. Unplug, wait 10 seconds, plug back in. Press the ON/OFF button. If the LCD screen always shows the same message, take the device to an Authorized Service Center to have it checked.
There could be several explanations: • The device is not properly plugged in. • You have not yet pushed the power button or you have pushed it incorrectly. Try again by pushing it firmly. • You have pushed the power button, but the device still does not work. Check that the lid is securely closed. • The engines are running but the device does not heat up. Take the device to an Authorised Service Centre to have it checked. • The paddle does not rotate. Check that the blade is correctly in place, if not, take the unit to an Authorised Service Centre to have it checked.
Maybe it's not locked. Reclip it correctly: put the locking lever in the upper position, place the paddle in the centre of the tray and then push the lever down.
There could be several reasons: • During the first use, there may be an odour emission that is not harmful. This phenomenon, which has no effect on the use of the device, will disappear quickly. • Remove all stickers and packaging materials. Never put the device under water. • For a good start of the device, we advise you to cook for at least 20 minutes with half a litre of water. From the second cooking time, your ActiFry will give you complete satisfaction. • Never leave the dosing spoon in the device during operation. • Never cook without a paddle. Depending on the model, do not forget to remove the protective sleeves located under the lid.
6 jars set (ref. XA606000): You can place 4 jars underneath and 2 jars on top. Be careful to place the two upper jars towards the front to prevent them from tipping over or hindering the lid from closing.
8 jars set (ref. XA6140E0): You can place the 8 jars with the 2 supports of 4 jars one on top of the other in the bowl.
Yes, this is a genuinely multi-purpose appliance, which can be used to cook a wide range of foods. Your appliance can be used for numerous recipes, from starters to desserts. You can also make crispy chips, tender chicken or even fruit cake…
Due to the rotation of the paddle we would not suggest cooking fish in the Actifry as it can easily break up during cooking. In order to avoid this, we recommend that you use the top tray for cooking fish (2in1 model only).
Always clip the lid into place firmly but gently. When closing the lid, do not bang the lid shut but use the finger tab on the front of the lid to gently press the lid into place. If putting the lid in the dishwasher, always place it near the top of the dishwasher (the cooler area) and use a cooler setting - refer to your dishwasher manual.
