Breakdown
Possible cause
Solution
The hot air fryer does
not function.
The plug is not in the socket.
Insert the plug in an earthed socket.
The pan is not properly
placed in the appliance.
Properly slide the pan in the appliance.
The ingredients are not cooked.
The amount of ingredients
in the basket is too much.
Place smaller amounts of ingredients
in the basket. Smaller portions
can be fried more evenly.
The set temperature is too low.
Set the hot air fryer to a higher temperature.
The cooking time is too short.
Set a longer time.
The ingredients are
not fried evenly.
Certain ingredients must be shaken
halfway the cooking time.
Ingredients lying on top of each other (such
as fries), must be shaken halfway the cooking time.
Fried snacks are not crispy when
they come out of the hot air fryer.
The snacks are not suitable for a hot
air fryer, but should be fried in oil.
Use oven snacks or cover the snacks with
a little oil for a more crispy result.
It is not possible to slide the
pan in the appliance properly.
The basket is overfilled.
Do not fill the basket above the maximum,
but observe the recommended amounts.
The basket is not properly
attached in the pan.
Press the basket in the pan until
you hear a click sound.
There is white smoke coming
from the appliance.
You are cooking fatty ingredients.
When fatty ingredients are being cooked in the hot
air fryer, it is possible that a lot of fat drips in the
pan. The fat causes white smoke and the pan can
become hotter than normal. This does not have
an effect on the appliance or on the end result.
The pan still contains fat residues
from a previous preparation.
Clean the pan after every use. Fat residues
that become hot can cause white smoke.
Fresh fries are not fried
evenly in the hot air fryer.
An unsuitable potato variety
has been used.
Use fresh potatoes that are a little
floury when cooked.
The fries have not been properly
rinsed prior to frying.
Properly rinse the cut fries to remove starch.
French fries are not crispy when
they come out of the hot air fryer.
The crispiness of the fries
depends on the amount of oil
and water in the fries.
Make sure the fries are properly patted
dry, before the oil is added.
Cut the fries more finely for a crispier result.
Add a little more oil for a crispier result.
