      Your BCP air fryer might not be working due to several reasons: it may not be correctly plugged into a grounded wall outlet, the timer or mode might not be properly set, or the pan may not be fully inserted. To resolve this, ensure the appliance is plugged into a grounded outlet, set the timer to start the air fryer, and pull the pan out and re-insert it correctly.

      If your ingredients aren't fully cooked in your BCP air fryer, it could be because you're overloading the basket. Smaller batches cook quicker and more evenly. Also, check if the set temperature is too low, and raise it accordingly.

      Unevenly fried ingredients in your BCP air fryer can result from large batches where items lay on top of each other. For certain foods, shaking them halfway through cooking is recommended. Also, ensure you're using fresh ingredients that are properly prepared for frying, such as rinsing starch off potatoes.

      White smoke coming from your BCP air fryer is often normal when frying greasy foods; this should be okay. However, it can also occur if the pan has grease residue from previous use, so make sure to properly clean the pan after each use.
