TROUBLESHOOTING

PROBLEM

The fryer doesn’t work.

The food is not done.

The ingredients are 

fried unevenly.

Snacks are not crispy.

Can’t slide the pan into 

the appliance properly.

White smoke comes 

out from the appliance.

Fresh fries are fried 

unevenly in the fryer.

Fresh fries are not crispy.

POSSIBLE CAUSE

- The appliance is not

plugged in.

- The amount of food 

is too large.

- The set temperature 

is too low.

- The preparation time

is too short.

- Certain types of foods 

need to be tossed halfway

during the cooking process.

The type of snacks used are 

meant to be prepared in a

traditional deep fryer.

- The basket is too full.

- The basket is not placed in

the pan properly.

- The food prepared 

is greasy.

- The pan still contains grease

residues from previous use.

- Did not use the right

potato type.

- The potatos were not 

properly rinsed.

- The crispiness of the fries 

depends on the amount 

of oil and water in the fries.

Solution

Plug in to a grounded power outlet.

- Place smaller batches of ingredients 

in the basket. Smaller batches are 

cooked more evenly.

- Set the temperature control to 

the required temperature setting 

(see COOKING TIPS).

- Set the timer to the required 

preparation time (see COOKING TIPS).

- Ingredients that lie on top of or 

across each other (e.g. fries) 

need to be tossed halfway during 

the cooking process.

- Use oven snacks or lightly brush 

some oil onto the snacks for 

a crisper result.

- Do not fill the ingredients over the 

“MAX” mark in the basket.

- Push the basket down into the pan 

until you hear aclick.

- When greasy ingredients are cooked, 

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.

- White smoke is caused by grease 

heating up in the pan. Make sure you 

clean the pan properly after each use.

- Use fresh potatoes and make sure 

that they stay firm during cooking.

- Rinse the potato fries well to 

remove excess starch.

- Make sure you dry the potatoes 

well before you add the oil.

- Cut the potato fries smaller for 

a crispier result.

- Add slightly more oil for 

 a crisper result.
