COOKING TIPS

  1. Smaller ingredients usually require a slightly shorter preparation time than larger ingredients.
  2. For best results of smaller foods such as fries, onion rings and chicken nuggets, remove the fryer basket halfway through preparation time and shake to mix the food around. This will help to evenly fry the food being prepared.
  3. Add some oil to fresh potatoes for a crispy result. Fry your ingredients in the airfryer within a few minutes after you added the oil. Do not fill basket with oil.
  4. Do not prepare extremely greasy ingredients such as sausages in the air fryer.
  5. Snacks that can be prepared in an oven can also be prepared in the air fryer.
  6. For French fries, use 14 ounces of fries at a time for best frying results.
  7. This air fryer is great for reheating food. To reheat your food, set the temperature control to 300º Fahrenheit for up to 10 minutes.

Troubleshooting Guide

Problem Possible Cause Solution

The Air Fryer does not work

The appliance is not plugged in Insert plug into the electrical outlet
The timer was not set Turn the timer knob to the desired cook time to switch on the appliance
The ingredients fried with the air fryer are not done The amount of ingredients in the basket is too large Put smaller batches of ingredients in the basket. Smaller batches fry more evenly
The set temperature is too low Turn the temperature control knob to the desired temperature setting

The ingredients are fried unevenly in the air fryer

Certain ingredients need to be shaken halfway through Shake halfway through the preparation time
Fried snacks are not crispy when they come out of the air fryer. The snack was meant to be prepared in a traditional deep fryer Lightly brush some oil onto the snacks for a crisper result

Too many ingredients in the basket Do not fill the basket beyond the MAX indication
Basket is not placed in the fryer correctly Push the basket into the fryer until you hear a click

White smoke comes out from the appliance

Greasy ingredients are being prepared Frying greasy ingredients, a large amount of oil will leak into the basket. The oil produces white smoke but does not affect the appliance or end result
The pan still cointains grease residues from previous use White smoke is caused by grease heating up in the basket. Make sure the basket is cleaned properly after use

Fresh fries are fried unevenly in the air fryer

The right type of potato was not used Use fresh potatoes and make sure that they stay firm during frying
You did not rinse the potato sticks properly before you fried them Rinse the potato sticks properly 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 adding oil
Cut the potato sticks smaller for a crispier result
Add slightly more oil for a crisper result
