The Air Fryer does not work The appliance is not plugged in. Put the main plug in an earthed wall socket.
Youhavenotsetthetimer. Adjust the setting to the required preparation time
to switch on the appliance.
The basket holder is not properly locked. Push the basket holder back in the Air Fryer properly.
The ingredients fried with the Air Fryer are not done. There is too much food in the basket. Put smaller batches of ingredients in the basket.
Smaller batches are fried more evenly.

traditional deep fryer.
Use snacks made to be prepared in the oven, or
lightly brush some oil onto the snacks for a crispier
result.
I cannot slide the basket into the appliance properly. There is too much food in the basket. Do not ll the basket to capacity; refer to the
“Setting”tableaboveformaximumquantities.
The basket in not placed properly in the basket
holder.
Push the basket down into the basket
holder until you hear a slight click.
White smoke comes out of the appliance. Youarepreparinggreasyingredients. When you fry greasy ingredients in the Air Fryer, a
large amount of oil will leak into the pan. The oil
produces white smoke and the pan may heat up
more than usual. This does not aect the appliance
or the end result.
The pan still contains grease residues from previous
use.
White smoke is caused by grease heating up in the
basket holder; make sure you clean the basket and
basket holder thoroughly after each use.
Fresh fries are fried unevenly in the Air Fryer. Youdidnotusetherighttypeofpotato. Use fresh potatoes and make sure they stay rm
during frying.
Youdidnotrinsethepotatosticksproperlybefore
you fried them.
Rinse the potato sticks thoroughly to remove starch
from the outside of the sticks.
Fresh fries are not crispy when they come out of the
Air Fryer.
The crispiness of the fries depends on the amount of
oil and water in the fries.
Make sure you dry the potato sticks properly before
you add the oil.
Cut the potatoes into thinner sticks for a crispier
result.
Add slightly more oil for a crispier result.
