TROUBLESHOOTING

wall socket
The drawer s not correctly positioned| Check that your drawer clicks into place when inserting it into the housing.
The ingredients fried within the air fryer are not cooked| The drawer is to full| Put smaller batches of ingredients in the drawers

I cannot slide the drawer into the appliance properly| The drawer is too full| Do not fill the basket beyond the MAX indication
Fried snacks are not crispy when they come out of the air fryer| The food you cooked needs to be prepared in a traditional deep fryer| Use oven snacks or lightly brush some cooking oil onto the snacks for a crisper result
White smoke comes out of the air fryer| You are frying greasy ingredients| When you are frying ingredients that are greasy, a large amount of excess oil will leak into the pan. The cooking oil will produce white smoke and the pan may heat up more than normal. This does NOT affect the appliance or your end cooking results.
The air fryer still contains grease reisdues from your previous use| White smoke is caused by grease bulding up in the apppliance. We would recommend cleaning the appliance before your next use
Fresh ingredients are fried unevenly and not cripsy| Using Fresh Ingredients is different to Frozen| Add more cooking oil or water in with the Fresh Ingredients or increase cooking time
