TROUBLESHOOTING

| The cook time is too short. | Tap + and – Icons to set the required cook time. | |
| The ingredients are fried unevenly in the air fryer. | Certain types of ingredients need to be shaken halfway through the cook time. | Ingredients that lie on top of or across each other (e.g.fries) need to be shaken halfway through the cook time. (See Turn Reminder on page 9) |
| Fried snacks are not crispy when they come out of the air fryer. | You used a type of snack meant to be cooked in a traditional deep fryer. | Use oven snacks or lightly brush some oil onto the snacks for a crispier result. |
| I cannot slide the Basket into the air fryer properly. | The Basket is overfilled. | Do not fill the Basket beyond max line. |
| White smoke comes out of the air fryer. | You are preparing greasy ingredients. | When you fry greasy ingredients in the air 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 air fryer or the end result. |
| The Basket still contains grease residue from previous use. | Make sure you clean the Basket properly after each use. | |
| Fresh fries are fried unevenly in the air fryer. | Quality potatoes will give an even cook. | Use fresh potatoes and make sure they stay firm during frying. |
| Potatoes are too starchy. | Rinse the potato sticks properly and dry 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 potato sticks smaller for a crispier result. Add slightly more oil for a crispier result. |
