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
