warningStay safe

The air fryer body and interior get extremely hot during operation. Hold only the handle when pulling out the basket and do not touch the metal inner walls.

Put them directly in to bake, set the temperature to 180 degrees and air fry for 12 minutes.

Watch out

Temperature and time must be set accurately, too high will burn and too low will prevent the filling from setting.
