The pan doesn’t slide into my air fryer
Problem
Possible cause Solution
Pan does not slide
into the appliance
properly
•
You put too much food in
the basket.

Do not fill the basket beyond the MAX
indicator.
•
You did not place the
basket in the pan correctly.

White smoke is coming out of my air fryer
Problem
Possible cause Solution
White smoke comes
out of the
appliance.
•
You are preparing greasy
food.
•
When frying greasy food, 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 will
not affect the appliance or the end
result.
•
The pan still contains
grease residue from a
previous use.
•
White smoke is caused by grease
heating up in the pan. Make sure you
clean the pan properly after each use.
My food isn’t cooking correctly
Problem
Possible cause Solution
Food is
undercooked
•
You put too much food in
the basket.
•
Put smaller batches of food in the
basket. Smaller batches are fried more
evenly.
•
You set the air fryer
temperature too low.
•
Set the temperature control to the
required temperature setting.
