TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
Why won’t the temperature go any higher?
The max temperature is 450˚F for Max Crisp and Air Broil. The max temperature is
400˚F for all other functions.
How long does it take to preheat, and how will I know when it’s done?
We recommend 3 minutes of preheating. To preheat, select desired function and
temperature, set time to 3 minutes, and press START/PAUSE.
Should I add the ingredients before or after preheating?
For best results, let the unit preheat for 3 minutes before adding ingredients.
When should I use Max Crisp instead of Air Fry?
For best results, use Max Crisp when cooking prepackaged frozen foods such as French
fries or chicken nuggets.
Do I need to defrost frozen foods before air frying?
It depends on the food. Follow package instructions.
How do I pause the countdown?
Pressing START/PAUSE during cooking will pause the cooking function.
Is the basket safe to put on my countertop?
The basket will heat during cooking. Use caution when handling, and place
on heat-safe surfaces only.
How do I know when to use the crisper plate?
Use the crisper plate when you want food to come out crispy. The plate elevates the
food in the basket so that air can flow under it to cook ingredients evenly.
My food didn’t cook.
Make sure the basket is fully inserted during cooking. For consistent browning, make
sure ingredients are arranged in an even layer on the bottom of the basket with no
overlapping. Shake basket to toss loose ingredients for consistent crispiness. Cook time
and temperature can be adjusted at any time during cooking. Simply press the TIME
or TEMP buttons and rotate the dial.
My food is burned.
For best results, check progress throughout cooking, and remove food when desired
level of brownness has been achieved. Remove food immediately after the cook time
is complete to avoid overcooking.
Why do some ingredients blow around when air frying?
Occasionally, the fan from the air fryer will blow lightweight foods around. Use
toothpicks to secure loose lightweight food, like the top slide on a sandwich.
Can I air fry fresh battered ingredients?
Yes, but use the proper breading technique. It is important to coat foods first with flour,
then with egg, and then with bread crumbs. Be sure to press the bread crumbs onto the
food so they stick in place. Loose breading may be blown o by the unit’s powerful fan.
Why is the unit beeping?
The cooking function is complete.
The screen went black.
The unit is in standby mode. Press the power button to turn it back on.
An “E” message appears on display screen.
The unit is not functioning properly. Please contact Customer Service at 1-877-646-5288.
