Troubleshooting

  

 

 

Problem

 

Possible cause

 

Solution

 

The air fryer 
does not work

 

The appliance is not 
plugged into the 
mains.

 

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 the 
ingredients in the basket 
is too much.

 

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').

 

 

The preparation time is too 
short.

 

Turn the timer knob to the required 
preparation time (see section 
'Settings').

 

The ingredients 
are fried 
unevenly in

 

the air fryer.

 

Certain types of the 
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').

 

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 is too much food 
in the basket.

 

Do not fill the basket beyond 
the MAX amount indicated 
in the table on the earlier 
page.

 

 

The basket is not placed in 
the pan correctly.

 

Push the basket down into the pan 
until you hear a click.

 

Light smoke  
comes out of the 
appliance

 

You are preparing greasy 
ingredients.

 

Pay attention that the temperature 
is well-controlled to be under 
180

, when you fry greasy 

ingredients in the air fryer.
