PROBLEM
The air fryer does not
work.
The ingredients did
not cook.
SOLUTION
Plug the air fryer into a grounded
wall socket.
Tap the
TIME arrows to set the
required cook time.
Do not fill the
basket beyond max
line.
Put smaller batches of ingredients
in the
basket . Smaller batches are
fried more evenly.
Tap the TEMP arrows to set the
required temperature setting.
Tap the
TIME arrows to set the
required cook time.
Ingredients that lie on top of or
across each other (e.g. fries) need
to be shaken halfway through the
cook time (see
TURN REMINDER
on page 14).
The ingredients are
fried unevenly.
Use oven snacks or lightly brush
some oil onto the snacks for a
crispier result. Fried snacks are not
crispy.
When you fry greasy ingredients in the
air fryer, a large amount of oil will leak
into the
basket . The oil produces white
smoke and the basket may heat up
more than usual. This does not affect
the air fryer or the end result.
White smoke comes
out of the air fryer.
White smoke is caused by grease
heating up in the
basket . Make
sure you clean the basket properly
after each use.
POSSIBLE CAUSE
The air fryer is not plugged
in.
Use fresh potatoes and make sure
they stay firm during frying. Fresh fries are fried
unevenly.
Rinse the potato sticks properly
and dry to remove starch from the
outside of the sticks.
The timer has not been set.
The basket is overfilled.
There are too many
ingredients in the
basket .
The set temperature is too
low.
The cook time is too short.
Certain types of ingredients
need to be shaken halfway
through the cook time.
You used a type of snack
meant to be cooked in a
traditional deep fryer.
You are preparing greasy
ingredients.
The basket still contains
grease residue from
previous use.
Quality potatoes will give
an even cook.
Potatoes were too starchy.
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 and add
slightly more oil for a crispier result. Fresh fries are not
crispy.
The basket does not
fit inside the air fryer.
