may heat up more than usual.
This does not affect the appliance or the end result.
The appliance is not
plugged in.
Size of foods may be bigger.
The set temperature is
too low.
Certain types of foods need

TROUBLESHOOTING
Fresh fries are fried
unevenly in the
air fryer.
French fries are
not crispy.
Use fresh potatoes and make sure that they stay
firm during frying.
Rinse the potato sticks properly to remove starch
from the outside of the sticks.
Make sure you dry the potato sticks properly
before you add the oil.
Cut the potato sticks smaller for a crispier result.
Add slightly more oil for a crisper result.
You did not use the right
potato type.
Potato sticks were not
rinsed properly
before frying it.
The crispiness of the fries
depends on the amount of
oil and water in the fries.
