Cooking with a favorite setting

Clean the appliance after every use. Remove oil and fat from the bottom of the pan after every use.
If you need information or support, please visit www.philips.com/support or read the separate worldwide guarantee leaflet.
This chapter summarizes the most common problems you could encounter with the appliance. If you are unable to solve the problem with the information below, visit www.philips.com/support for a list of frequently asked questions or contact the Consumer Care Center in your country.
Problem | Possible cause | Solution |
The outside of the appliance becomes hot during use. | The heat inside radiates to the outside walls. | This is normal. All handles and knobs that you need to touch during use stay cool enough to touch. |
The pan, basket, fat reducer, and the inside of the appliance always become hot when the appliance is switched on to ensure the food is properly cooked. These parts are always too hot to touch. | ||
If you leave the appliance switched on for a longer time, some areas get too hot to touch. These areas are marked on the appliance with the following icon: As long as you are aware of the hot areas and avoid touching them, the appliance is completely safe to use. | ||
My home-made fries do not turn out as I expected. | You did not use the right potato type. | To get the best results, use fresh floury potatoes. If you need to store the potatoes, do not store them in a cold environment like in a fridge. Choose potatoes whose package states that they are suitable for frying. |
The amount of ingredients in the basket is too big. | Follow the instructions in this user manual to prepare home-made fries (see 'Food table for Smart Chef programs' or download the free Airfryer App). | |
Certain types of ingredients need to be shaken halfway through the cooking time. | Follow the instructions in this user manual to prepare home-made fries (see 'Food table for Smart Chef programs' or download the free Airfryer App). | |
The Airfryer does not switch on. | The appliance is not plugged in. | Check if the plug is inserted in the wall outlet properly. |
Several appliances are connected to one outlet. | The Airfryer has a high wattage. Try a different outlet and check the fuses. | |
After starting a Smart Chef program the appliance stopped the calculation phase. | The cooking chamber temperature is too high either because the appliance is pre-heated or has not cooled down sufficiently between two batches. | Keep the drawer open for some minutes to cool it down. Close it and start the Smart Chef program again. |
The drawer is opened during the calculation phase. | Close the drawer and proceed cooking with the manual mode. | |
The drawer is not closed properly. | Make sure that the drawer is closed properly. | |
The appliance has stopped cooking with the Smart Chef program. | The drawer is opened during the calculation phase. | Do not pull out the drawer as long as the appliance is calculating the cooking time, which is indicated by blinking bars on the display. |
I see some peeling off spots inside my Airfryer. | Some small spots can appear inside the pan of the Airfryer due to the incidental touching or scratching of the coating (e.g. during cleaning with harsh cleaning tools and/or while inserting the basket). | You can prevent damage by lowering the basket into the pan properly. If you insert the basket at an angle, its side may knock against the wall of the pan, causing small pieces of coating to chip off. If this occurs, please be informed that this is not harmful as all materials used are food-safe. |
White smoke comes out of the appliance. | You are cooking fatty ingredients and the fat reducer is not put in the pan. | Carefully pour off any excess oil or fat from the pan, place the fat reducer in the pan and then continue cooking. |
The pan still contains greasy residues from previous use. | White smoke is caused by greasy residues heating up in the pan. Always clean the pan, basket and fat reducer thoroughly after every use. | |
Breading or coating did not adhere properly to the food. | Tiny pieces of airborne breading can cause white smoke. Firmly press breading or coating to food to ensure it sticks. | |
Marinade, liquid or meat juices are splattering in the rendered fat or grease | Pat food dry before placing it in the basket. | |
My display shows 5 dashes as illustrated in the picture below.![]() | This is an error code. |
