produces white smoke, and the Basket may heat
up more than usual. This does not affect the air
fryer or the end result.

residue from previous use.

the pan. Make sure you clean the Basket properly

before you add the oil. Cut the potato sticks
smaller for a crispier result. Add slightly more oil
for a crispier result.
