TROUBLESHOOTING
PROBLEM
POSSIBLE CAUSE
SOLUTION
The Hot-air fryer
does not work
The appliance is not
plugged in.
Put the mains plug in an earthed wall socket.
You have not set the timer.
Turn the timer knob to the required
preparation time to switch on the appliance.
The ingredients fried
with the air fryer are
not done.
The amount of ingredients
in the basket is too big.
Put smaller batches of ingredients in the
basket. Smaller batches are fried more evenly.
The set temperature is too
low.
Turn the temperature control knob to the
required temperature setting (see section
‘settings’ in chapter ‘Using the appliance’).
The preparation time is too
short.
Turn the timer knob to the required
preparation time (see section ‘Settings’ in
chapter’ Using the appliance’).
The ingredients are
fried unevenly in the
air fryer.
Certain types of 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’ in chapter ‘Using the appliance’.
Fried snacks are not
crispy when they
come out of the air
fryer.
You used a type of snacks
meant to be prepared in a
traditional deep fryer.
Use oven snacks or lightly brush some oil
onto the snacks for a crispier result.
I cannot slide
the pan into the
appliance properly.
There are too much
ingredients in the basket.
Do not fill the basket beyond the MAX
indication.
The basket is not placed in
the pan correctly.
Push the basket down into the pan until you
hear a click.
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
properly after each use.
Fresh fries are fried
unevenly in the air
fryer.
You did not use the right
potato type.
Use fresh potatoes and make sure they stay
firm during frying.
You did not rinse the
potato sticks properly
before you fried them.
Rinse the potato sticks properly to remove
starch from the outside of the sticks.
Fresh 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.
Cut the potato sticks smaller for a crispier
result.
Add slightly more oil for a crispier result.
