Frequently Asked Questions Problem The Airfryer does not work. The ingredients fried with the Airfryer are not done. The ingredients are fried unevenly in the Airfryer. I cannot slide the pan into the appliance properly. White smoke comes out of the appliance. Home made fries are fried unevenly in the Airfryer. Home made fries are not crispy when they come out of the Airfryer. Possible Cause Solution The appliance is not plugged in/turned on. You have not set the timer. The amount of ingredients in the basket is too big. The set temperature is too low. The cooking time is too short. Certain types of ingredients need to be shaken halfway through the cooking time. There are too many ingredients in the basket. The basket is not placed in the pan correctly. You are cooking greasy ingredients. The pan still contains grease residues from previous use. Marinade, liquid or meat juices are splattering in the rendered fat or grease. Breading or coating did not adhere properly to food. You did not soak the potato sticks properly before you fried them. You did not use the right potato type. The crispiness of the fries depends on the amount of oil and water in the fries. Put the power plug in a grounded wall outlet.Turn appliance on. Set the timer to the required preparation time to turn on the appliance. Put smaller batches of ingredients in the basket. Smaller batches are cooked more evenly. Do not exceed MAX indication. Set the temperature control to the required temperature setting. Set the timer to the required cooking time. Ingredients that lie on the top of or across each other (e.g. fries) need to be shaken halfway through the cooking time. Do not fill basket beyond MAX indication. Make sure the pan and basket are placed correctly. 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. White smoke is caused by greasy residue heating up in the pan. Be sure you clean the pan properly after each use. Pat food dry before placing in basket. Occasionally pour off rendered fat or grease from pan during cooking. White smoke can be caused by tiny pieces of airborne breading. Press breading or coating to food to ensure it sticks. Soak potato sticks in bowl for at least 30 minutes, take them out, dry with paper towel. Use fresh floury potatoes and be sure they stay firm during frying. Be sure you dry the potato sticks properly before you add the oil. Cut potato sticks smaller for crispier result.Add slightly more oil for a crispier result. 35
