Start up

Once unpacked and the packaging protections removed, We wash the bucket and grate with soap and water. (which are non-stick and free of PFOA and BPA), using a soft sponge, and letting them dry well before putting them back (or using kitchen paper to do so).

Next, we look for a location for the fryer. With dimensions of 36,1 x 27,1 x 30,6 centimeters, the Ultenic K10 It is quite compact for its large interior volume, but it has a certain size, something that must be taken into account.

The location must be done in a flat, stable and heat-resistant surface (usually on the counter), leaving free space around and above so that heat does not accumulate (nothing can be placed on top of the fryer).

We can now connect it to the power and start working. The Ultenic K10 is manageable through the touch panel on the top, through voice commands (compatible with Alexa and Google Home) and through an app, which provides great comfort and versatility, as it allows us remotely control the fryer, receive notifications and consult recipes, which is why we recommend its installation.

Food is placed in the non-stick basket, and A removable grill is included that helps air circulate better. Both the basket and the rack can be washed by hand or in the dishwasher (although sometimes it is recommended to do so by hand to prolong their useful life, always using a soft sponge).

The Ultenic K10 is a large capacity air fryer, since Its 5 liters allow you to cook for 3-5 people, making it suitable for families.. As is usual in this type of appliance, it is not advisable to overfill it, to ensure that the food is cooked properly.

Its studied design allows a excellent interior use, so it does not take up as much space as other models, and allows the cooking of larger quantities of cuisine or more voluminous pieces; Its weight is 5,7 kilograms, so it is not excessively heavy if we have to move it from one place to another.

To spread the oil well and distribute it throughout all the foods, You can use a silicone brush or use a spray bottle.; It can also be stirred by hand, for example, in the case of potatoes.

The combination of hot air circulating at high speed with small oil droplets cooks food evenly, being well done on the inside and with a delicious crispy finish on the outside., similar to what is achieved when they are "submerged" in oil, but in a much healthier way, with much less fat.

To stir food, You can remove the basket and make a few wrist movements, so that they are relocated (for example, with some potatoes), or use tongs or a silicone shovel to turn them (for example, large pieces of meat, chicken quarters, etc.).
