TROUBLESHOOTING

plug in an earthed wall socket.
The food is not cooked properly| The cavity has been over-filled with food| Put smaller batches of ingredients in the air fryer oven. Smaller batches are fried more evenly.
The preparation time is too short.| Set the time to the desired temperature set on the control panel.
The set temperature is too low.| Set the temperature to the desired temperature set on the control panel.
Fried snacks are not crispy when they come out of the air fryer.| You used a type of snack meant to be
prepared in a traditional deep fryer.| Use oven snacks or lightly brush some oil onto the snacks for a crispier result.
The drip tray still contains grease
residues from previous use.| White smoke is caused by grease heating up in the drip tray. Make sure you clean the drip tray properly after each use.
Fresh fries are fried unevenly in the air fryer.| The incorrect potato type was used| Use fresh potatoes and make sure they stay firm during frying.
The potato pieces were not properly rinsed before you fried them.| Rinse the potato pieces properly to remove starch from the surface. For best results, soak freshly peeled, cut, and washed potato fries in water overnight to extract excess starch, this prevents fries from sticking to each other & helps to achieve crispy fries.
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.| Ensure the potato sticks are dried properly before oiling them.
Cut the potato sticks smaller for a crispier result.
Add slightly more oil for a crispier result.
