The ingredients are fried
unevenly in the air fryer.
Certain types of the
ingredients need to be
shaken halfway through
the preparation time.
Ingredients that lie on top of or
across each other (e.g. fries)
need to be shaken halfway
through the preparation time.
See section ‘Settings’.
Food is not crispy when it
comes out of the air fryer
You used a type of food
meant to be prepared in a
traditional deep fryer.
Use oven-baked foods or lightly
brush some oil onto the food
before cooking for a crispier
result.
I cannot slide the pan into
the appliance properly.
There are too many
ingredients in the
pan
.
Remove some of the
ingredients from the pan.
White smoke comes out of
the appliance
You are preparing greasy
ingredients.
When you fry greasy
ingredients in the air fryer, a
large amount of oil will leak into
the pan. The oil produces white
smoke and the pan may heat
up more than usual. This does
not affect the appliance or the
end result.
The pan still contains
grease residues from
previous use.
White smoke is caused by
grease heating up in the pan.
Make sure you clean the pan
and grill rack properly after
each use.
Homemade fries are fried
unevenly in the air fryer
You did not soak the
potato sticks properly
before you fried them
Soak the potato sticks in a bowl
for at least 30 minutes, take
them out and dry them with a
paper towel before applying oil
and cooking.
You did not use the right
potato type.
Use fresh potatoes and make
sure they stay firm during frying
Homemade 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.
Add slightly more oil for a
crispier result.
