PROBLEM
The air fryer does
not work.
POSSIBLE CAUSE
The air fryer is not
plugged in.
The timer has not been
set.
The
basket
is not put
into the air fryer prop-
erly.
The
basket
is overfilled.
The ingredients did
not cook.
There are too many in-
gredients in the
basket
.
The set temperature is
too low.
The cook time is too
short.
SOLUTION
Plug the main plug into a ground-
ed wall socket.
Tap
+
and
-
icons to set the
required cook time to turn on the
air fryer.
Slide the
basket
into the air fryer
properly.
Do not fill the
basket
beyond max
line.
Put smaller batches of ingredients
in the
basket
. Smaller batches are
fried more evenly.

quired temperature setting.
Tap
+
and
-
icons to set the re-
quired cook time.
Certain types of ingredi-
ents need to be shaken
halfway through the
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
USING THE
TIMER
on page 13.)
The ingredients are
fried unevenly.
You used a type of snack
meant to be cooked in a
traditional deep fryer.
Use oven snacks or lightly brush
some oil onto the snacks for a
crispier result.
Fried snacks are not
crispy.
You are preparing
greasy ingredients.
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.
The
basket
still contains
grease residue from
previous use.
White smoke is caused by grease
heating up in the
basket
. Make
sure you clean the
basket
proper-
ly after each use.
Quality potatoes will
give an even cook.
Use fresh potatoes and make
sure they stay firm during frying.
Fresh fries are fried
unevenly.
Potatoes are too starchy. Rinse the potato sticks properly
and dry to remove starch from the
outside of the sticks.
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.
Fresh fries are not
crispy.
The
basket
does
not fit inside the air
fryer.
