PROBLEM | POSSIBLE CAUSE | SOLUTION |
The Air Fryer does not work. | The appliance is not plugged in. | Plug the mains plug into a grounded wall socket. |
You have not set the Timer. | Turn the Timer Dial to the required preparation time to switch the appliance on. | |
The food is not done after the recommended time. | Too much food has been added to the Crisper Basket. | Use less food and cook in batches if necessary. Your food will also cook more evenly. |
The temperature was set too low. | Turn the Temperature Dial to the required temperature setting (see "Settings" chart). | |
Food is fried unevenly in the Air Fryer. | Certain types of food need to be shaken halfway through the preparation time. | Items that lie on top of or across each other (e.g. fries) need to be shaken halfway through the preparation time (see "Settings"chart). |
Snacks are not crispy when they come out of the Air Fryer. | The food was not dry enough or needs more oil. | Make sure to properly dry the food or lightly brush some oil onto the snacks for a crispier result. |
I cannot slide the Crisper Drawer into the appliance properly. | There is too much food in the Crisper Basket. | Do not fill the Crisper Basket beyond the MAX line. |
The Crisper Basket is not placed in the Crisper Drawer correctly. | Push the Crisper Basket down into the Crisper Drawer until you hear a "click" sound. | |
White smoke is coming out of the appliance. | Your food is too greasy. | When you fry greasy items in the Air Fryer, a large amount of fat will leak into the Crisper Drawer, The fat produces white smoke and the Crisper Drawer may heat up more than usual. This does not affect the appliance or the end result. |
The Crisper Drawer still contains residue from previous use. | White smoke is caused by grease heating up in the Crisper Drawer. Make sure you clean the Crisper Drawer properly after each use. | |
Fresh fries are fried unevenly in the Air Fryer. | Certain types of food need to be shaken halfway through the preparation time. | Items that lie on top of or across each other (e.g. fries) need to be shaken halfway through the preparation time (see "Settings" chart). |
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 you add the oil. Cut the potato sticks smaller for a crispier result. Add slightly more oil for a crispier result. |
