Magic Chef® Air Fryer Product Guide
Solution
•
Put the cord into a standard electrical
outlet.
•
Turn the timer knob to the required
preparation time to switch on the
appliance.
•
Slide the pan into the appliance
properly.
•
Use a pointed object to press the RESET
button at the bottom of the appliance.
Solution
•
Do not fill the basket beyond the MAX
indicator.
•
Push the basket down into the pan until
it clicks.
Solution
•
When frying greasy food, 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 will
not affect the appliance or the end
result.
•
White smoke is caused by grease
heating up in the pan. Make sure you
clean the pan properly after each use.
Solution
•
Put smaller batches of food in the
basket. Smaller batches are fried more
evenly.
