HD9218 FAQs & Troubleshooting Guide

Can I use baking paper/tin foil in my Philips Airfryer?
No, using baking paper and tin foil in your Philips Airfryer is not recommended for the following reasons:

If you cover the bottom of the basket, the airflow inside the airfryer is reduced. This results in diminished cooking performance of your Philips Airfryer.
If you put baking paper or tin foil in the bottom of the pan where the grease and dirt are collected, the airflow will be disrupted and you will not get a good cooking result.
If you put baking paper or tin foil in your Philips Airfryer without placing food on it, the baking paper or tin foil could be sucked into the heater and could start to burn.

The baking tin should still leave some space on either side when you place it in the basket to ensure the airflow can pass around it.
1. Never place the baking dish directly in the pan, as this eliminates the airflow in the pan and only the top of the food would be heated.
2. Always place the baking dish in the basket.
3. Always wear oven mitts when you handle the baking tins or molds. The baking tins or molds and your Philips Airfryer basket become very hot.
If you find that the food or snacks prepared in your Philips Airfryer are not crispy enough, follow the steps below to find out how to simply solve this yourself.
Too many snacks or items cooked at the same time
Avoid cooking a large number of snacks or too much food at one time. Smaller portions are airfried more evenly.
A good way to ensure this is to cover the bottom of your Philips Airfryer’s basket with just one layer of snacks.

Fresh homemade fries are not correctly prepared
If you are preparing homemade fries in your airfryer, please follow these steps:

Peel the potatoes and cut them into sticks.
Soak the potato sticks in a bowl of water for at least 30 minutes, take them out and dry them with kitchen paper.
Pour a half tablespoon of olive oil in a bowl, put the sticks in the bowl and mix until the sticks are coated with oil.
Remove the sticks from the bowl with your fingers or a kitchen utensil so that excess oil stays behind in the bowl. Put the sticks in the basket.
Fry the potato sticks at 180°C (350°F) and shake the basket halfway through the hot air frying process. Shake 2-3 times during the air frying process for a more even result.
If your Philips Airfryer makes a noise
If the noise you hear sounds like a fan rotating very fast, this is normal.
Your Philips Airfryer has a fan inside which helps to keep its internal parts cool while the appliance is on.
This noise can be up to 65 dB (decibel), or as loud as the noise an average vacuum cleaner would make.
In this case, do not worry, there is nothing wrong with your airfryer.

If you notice that the coating of your Philips Airfryer is peeling off, there can be a reason The coating has been damaged by incidental scratching Some spots can appear inside the pan or basket of your Philips Airfryer due to incidental scratching or touching of the coating (e.g. during cleaning with harsh cleaning tools and/or while inserting the basket). This is not harmful in any way as all materials used in your Philips Airfryer are food-safe.
Note: Please avoid cleaning your airfryer with harsh cleaning tools (e.g. metal scrubbers, hard brushes) and insert the basket gently.
