Tefal ACTIFRY user manual

An air fryer and an Actifry are both kitchen appliances that use a rapid air circulation system to cook food, significantly reducing the necessary amount of oil compared to traditional frying methods. However, there are some differences between these two:
1. Method of Air Circulation: While both devices use hot air to cook food, the Tefal Actifry has a patented stirring paddle and pulse heat system that gently stirs the food for you, ensuring an even distribution of oil and heat. Whereas, most air fryers do not automatically stir the contents and may require occasional shaking or flipping of food for even cooking.
2. Capacity: Generally, air fryers tend to have a larger capacity than Tefal Actifry.
3. Cooking ability: Some air fryers have multi-functional features, allowing you to not only fry but also grill, roast, and bake. An Actifry's functions are usually more focused on frying.
4. Design: Actifry has a unique design with a viewing window allowing you to check on your food without opening the lid, which many air fryers do not have.
5. Price: Air fryers usually have a wider price range, with some models being more budget-friendly than the Tefal Actifry.

Remember that specific features can vary between different models of both air fryers and Actifrys, so it's always a good idea to check out individual models to find out what features they offer.

Error 1 on the Tefal Actifry is an indication that the motor has stopped working. This error commonly occurs due to a faulty motor or a technical issue with the motor circuit. If you encounter this error, it is recommended to contact Tefal customer service or a professional technician for further assistance and possible repair or replacement of the motor.

No, it is not recommended to use the Tefal Actifry without the paddle. The paddle is an essential part of the cooking process as it helps to evenly distribute heat and oil throughout the food, ensuring that it cooks thoroughly and evenly. Without the paddle, the food may not cook properly and may not achieve the desired results.

Yes, Tefal Actifry can be used without oil, but the results may not be as crispy or flavorful as when using a small amount of oil. The Actifry is designed to cook with minimal oil, typically only requiring one or two tablespoons for recipes. However, certain foods such as frozen French fries may not require additional oil because they already contain a certain amount. It is important to follow the specific instructions and recipes provided by Tefal for optimal cooking results.
