Possible cause
• You did not plug in the
appliance.
You did not set the timer.
•
• The pan is not put into the
appliance properly
The overheating
•
protection is turned on
Possible cause
• You put too much food in
the basket.
• You did not place the
basket in the pan correctly.
Possible cause
You are preparing greasy
•
food.
• The pan still contains
grease residue from a
previous use.
Possible cause
You put too much food in
•
the basket.
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.
