SOLUTION
•
Insert the plug into a 230V or 240V power
outlet and turn the power on.
•
Set the timer using the increase decrease
timer buttons.
•
Completely slide the pan with basket
locked in place back into the air fryer.
•
Put less food in the basket. Smaller batches
will cook more evenly.
•
Increase the temperature using the
temperature control buttons.
•
Increase the cooking time by using the
timer control buttons.
•
For pre-packaged food, follow instructions
for cooking found on packaging.
•
Do not overfill the basket.
•
Push the basket down into the pan until
you hear a click.
•
When greasy food is cooked in the air fryer
a large amount of oil will leak into the pan.
The oil produces white smoke and the pan
may heat up more than usual. Lower the
temperature of the air fryer to reduce
the smoke.
•
White smoke is caused by grease heating
up in the pan. Make sure you clean the pan
properly after each use.
•
Soak the potato sticks in a bowl for at least
30 minutes, take them out and dry them
with paper towel.
•
Floury-type potatoes are best, such as
Russet and Sebago.
•
Make 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.
