PROBLEM POSSIBLE CAUSE SOLUTION
The Crisper Drawer still contains
residue from previous use.

heating up in the Crisper Drawer.

Drawer properly after each use.

each other (e.g. fries) need to

Fresh fries are not crispy when
they come out of the Air Fryer.
The crispiness of the fries
depends on the amount of oil
and water in the fries.
Make sure you dry the potato
sticks properly before you add
the oil.
Cut the potato sticks smaller
for a crispier result.
Add slightly more oil
for a crispier result.
PROBLEM POSSIBLE CAUSE SOLUTIONS
The Air Fryer does not work. The appliance is not plugged in.
Plug the mains plug into a grounded
wall socket.
You have not set the Timer.
Turn the Timer Dial to the required
preparation time to switch the
appliance on.
The food is not done after the
recommended time is up.
Too much food has been added to
the Crisper Drawer.
Use less food and cook in batches if
necessary. Your food will also cook more
evenly.
The temperature was set too low.
Turn the Temperature Dial to the
required temperature setting (see
section “Settings”).
Food is fried unevenly in the Air
Fryer.
Certain types of food need to
be shaken halfway through the
preparation time.

other (e.g. fries) need to be shaken
halfway through the preparation time
(see section “Settings”).

come out of the Air Fryer.

needs more oil.

lightly brush some oil onto the snacks
for a crispier result.

into the appliance properly.

Crisper Drawer.
Do not fill the Crisper Drawer beyond
the MAX line.
White smoke is coming out of
the appliance.
Your food is too greasy.
When you fry greasy items in the Air
Fryer, a large amount of fat will leak into
the Crisper Drawer, the fat produces
white smoke and the Crisper Drawer
may heat up more than usual. This
does not affect the appliance or the
end result.
