Different types of oil/fat have been combined
in the bowl.
Empty and clean the bowl.
Refill the bowl with one type of oil/fat.

Visibility through the lid is bad
The lid is not clean. To assure good visibility during cooking, wash the lid

The front lid and/or the air vents are blocked. To maintain good ventilation and perfect visibility during
cooking, do not block the front of the lid or the air vents.
Food does not become golden and remains soft
Pieces are too thick and contain too much water. Experiment by lengthening the cooking time or by slicing food
smaller and thinner.
Too much food is being cooked at the same time
and the cooking oil/fat is not at the right temperature.
Refer to page 11 to ensure that the recommended
quantities of food are not exceeded.
The temperature of the frying oil/fat may not be
high enough: the temperature is set incorrectly.
Set the thermostat control to the recommended
temperature (see Table of cooking times page 11).
French fries stick together
Potatoes have not been washed before
immersed in hot oil/fat.
Cut the potatoes and wash them well to remove starch
and then dry them thoroughly.
