Note: During the first few times of using your new GAF625 Air Fryer there might be a "hot plastic" smell. This is perfectly normal in new Air Fryers as the material is heated for first time. It will go away after the first few uses.
This is an air fryer that works on hot air.
Note: Do not place the appliance against a wall or against other appliances. It is important to leave at least 4 inches of free space on the back and sides, and 4 inches of free space above the appliance to allow for proper ventilation.
PROBLEM | POSSIBLE CAUSE | SOLUTION |
The air fryer does not work. | The appliance is not plugged in. | Put the main plug in an grounded wall socket. |
You have not set the timer. | Tap the timer icon to set the required preparation time to turn on the appliance. | |
The pan is not put into the appliance properly. | Slide the pan into the appliance properly. | |
The ingredients fried in the air fryer are not done. | The amount of ingredients in the basket is too much. | Put smaller batches of ingredients in the basket. Smaller batches are fried more evenly. |
The set temperature is too low. | Tap the temperature icon to set the required temperature setting. (see 'Settings Chart'). | |
The preparation time is too short. | Tap the timer icon to set the required preparation time. (see 'Settings Chart'). | |
The ingredients are fried unevenly in the air fryer. | Certain types of ingredients need to be shaken halfway through the preparation time. | Ingredients that lie on top of or across each other (e.g.fries) need to be shaken halfway through the preparation time. (see 'Settings Chart'). |
Fried snacks are not crispy when they come out of the air fryer. | You used a type of snack meant to be prepared in a traditional deep fryer. | Use oven snacks or lightly brush some oil onto the snacks for a crispier result. |
I cannot slide the pan into the appliance properly. | The basket is overfilled. | Do not fill the basket beyond max line (see 'Settings Chart'). |
White smoke comes out of the appliance. | You are preparing greasy ingredients. | When you fry greasy ingredients 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. This does not affect the appliance or the end result. |
The pan still contains grease residues from previous use. | White smoke is caused by grease heating up in the pan. Make sure you clean the pan and basket properly after each use. | |
Fresh fries are fried unevenly in the air fryer. | Quality potatoes will give an even cook. | Use fresh potatoes and make sure they stay firm during frying. |
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 you add the oil. Cut the potato sticks smaller for a crispier result. Add slightly more oil for a crispier result. |
Note: Because the rapid hot air technology instantly reheats the air inside the appliance, pulling the pan out of the appliance during use, for a short amount of time, will not effect the process.
Tip: If you set the timer to half the preparation time, your timer will ring when you have to shake the ingredients. However, this means that you have to set the timer again to the remaining preparation time after shaking. (see 'Settings Chart'').
Tip: If you set the timer to full preparation time, there is no timer bell during cooking. Before finishing, you can pull out the pan at any time to check the ingredients cooking condition. The power will shut down automatically and, will only resume after you slide the pan back into the appliance (timer always counts down in this situation).
(The chart below are the basic settings for preparing your food.)
The settings below are only indications-as ingredients differ in origin, size, shape as well as brand, we cannot guarantee the best setting for your ingredients.
Air fryers perform similar to ovens. If your dish is not on the list, please refer to oven instructions on item packaging or recipe.
Do not throw away the appliance with the normal household waste at the end of its life, but hand it in at an official collection point for recycling. By doing this, you help to preserve the environment.
Before using the electrical appliance, the following basic precautions should always be followed:
