White smoke
comes out from
the Appliance.
You are preparing greasy
ingredients.
The basket still contains
grease residues from
previous use.
When you fry greasy ingredients in the fryer, a
large amount of oil will leak into the basket. The
oil produces white smoke and the basket may
heat up more than usual. This does not affect the
appliance or the end result.
White smoke is caused by grease heating up in the
basket. Make sure you clean the basket properly
after each use.

Rinse the potato fries properly to remove starch
