select the basic settings for a variety of
common ingredients.
NOTE: Keep in mind that these settings are
indications. As ingredients differ in origin,
size, shape and brand the best settings for
the ingredients cannot be guaranteed.
NOTE: Because the Rapid Air technology
instantly reheats the air inside the

during hot air frying barely disturbs the
process.
