Troubleshooting

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 or in the U.S. or Canada only, call 1-866-309-8817 for assistance.

Problem Possible cause Solution
The appliance does not work. The appliance is not plugged in. Put the plug in a grounded wall outlet.
You have not pressed the on/off button. Press the on/off button to switch on the appliance.
The ingredients fried with the airfryer are not done. The amount of ingredients in the basket is too big. Put smaller batches of ingredients in the basket.
Smaller batches are fried more evenly. Do not exceed MAX indication.
The set temperature is too low. Set the temperature to the required temperature setting.
The cooking time is too short. Set the timer to the required cooking time.
The ingredients are fried unevenly in the airfryer. Certain types of ingredients need to be shaken halfway through the cooking time. Ingredients that lie on top of or across each other (e.g. fries) need to be shaken halfway through the cooking time.
Fried foods are not crispy when they come out of the airfryer. You used a type of food to be prepared in a traditional deep fryer. Use food intended to be cooked in an oven or lightly brush some oil onto the food for a crispier result.
I cannot slide the pan into the appliance properly. There are too many ingredients in the basket. Do not fill the basket beyond the MAX indication.
The basket is not placed in the pan correctly. Make sure the pan and basket are placed correctly.
White smoke comes out of the appliance. You are preparing fatty ingredients. When you fry greasy ingredients, a large amount of oil or rendered fat leaks into the pan. The oil or fat causes white smoke and the pan may heat up more than usual. This does not affect the appliance or the end result. Midway through the cooking process you can carefully pour off any excess oil or rendered fat from the pan wearing oven-safe gloves then continue cooking.
The pan still contains greasy residue from previous use. White smoke is caused by greasy residue heating up in the pan. Make sure you clean the pan properly after each use.
Marinade, liquid or meat juices are splattering in the rendered fat or grease. Pat food dry before placing it in the basket. Occasionally pour off rendered fat or grease from the pan during cooking.
Breading or coating did not adhere properly to the food. White smoke can be caused by tiny pieces of airborne breading. Press breading or coating to food to ensure it sticks.
Home-made fries are fried unevenly in the airfryer. You did not soak the potato sticks properly before you fried them. Soak the potato sticks in a bowl for at least 30 minutes, take them out and dry them with paper towel.
You did not use the right potato type. Use fresh potatoes and be sure they stay firm during frying.
Home-made fries are not crispy when they come out of the airfryer. The crispiness of the fries depends on the amount of oil and water in the fries. Be 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.
The message 'Er' appears on the display. An error has occurred. In the U.S. or Canada only, call 1-866-309-8817 for assistance.
The time and temperature indications change automatically, even though I do not press any buttons. There is moisture on the control panel. Make sure you dry the control panel with a cloth after you have cleaned it.
