problem
The Hot-air fryer
does not work
The ingredients
fried with the air
fryer are not done.
The ingredients
are fried unevenly
in the air fryer.
Fried snacks are not
crispy when they come
out of the air fryer.
I cannot slide the pan
into the appliance
properly.
White smoke comes
out of the appliance.
The appliance is not
plugged in.
Put the mains plug in an earthed
wall socket.
Turn the timer knob to the required
preparation time to switch on the appliance.
Put smaller batches of ingredients in the
basket. Smaller batches are fried more
evenly.
Turn the temperature control knob to the
required temperature setting (see section
‘settings’ in chapter ‘Using the appliance’).
Turn the timer knob to the required
preparation time (see section ‘Settings’
in chapter’ Using the appliance’).
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’.
You have not set
the timer.
The amount of ingredients
in the basket is too big.
The set temperature
is too low.
The preparation
time is too short.
Certain types of ingredients
need to be shaken halfway
through the preparation time.
You used a type of snacks
meant to be prepared in a
traditional deep fryer.
There are too much
ingredients in the basket.
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.
White smoke is caused by grease heating up in
the pan . make sure you clean the pan properly
after each use.
The pan still contains grease
residues from previous use.
The basket is not placed
in the pan correctly.
Use oven snacks or lightly brush some oil
onto the snacks for a crispier result.
Do not fill the basket beyond the MAX indication.
Push the basket down into the pan until you
hear a click.
