the temperature to the desired target temperature.
See section ‘Settings’ page 7-8 to determine the right
temperature and settings

SETTINGS

The table on page 8 will help you to select the basic settings for
the ingredients you want to prepare.

As ingredients differ in origin, size, shape as well as brand, we
cannot guarantee the best setting for your ingredients.

Tips

•‐ It is recommended that the total weight of food should not
exceed 5kg.

•‐ Smaller ingredients usually require a slightly shorter
preparation time than larger ingredients. A larger amount of
ingredients only requires a slightly longer preparation time, a
smaller amount of ingredients only requires a slightly shor ter
preparation time.

• Do not prepare extremely greasy ingredients such as sausages
in the Air Fryer.

• Snacks that can be prepared in an oven can also be prepared
in the Air Fryer.

• ‐ You can also use the airfr yer to reheat ingredients.
To reheat ingredients, set the temperature to 150°C
for up to 10 minutes.

• Stick to the recommended cooking times initially then reduce
or increase times in future to achieve your desired result.
