FAQs
Can I use both zones with different settings at the same time?
Yes, the VersaZone feature with SyncCook and SyncFinish allows you to cook two different foods with separate temperature and time settings, or ensure they finish simultaneously.
Is the ceramic coating safe and durable?
The ceramic coating is PFAS-free, promoting healthier cooking. It is designed to be non-stick and durable for regular use and easy cleaning.
How do I clean the air fryer baskets?
The baskets are dishwasher-safe. For handwashing, use warm, soapy water and a non-abrasive sponge.
What is the total capacity of the air fryer?
The total capacity is 12 liters. When divided into two zones, each zone has a 6-liter capacity.
Can I cook a whole chicken in this air fryer?
Yes, a whole chicken can fit within the 12L capacity. For optimal results, ensure it fits comfortably without touching the sides excessively.
How does the SyncFinish feature work?
SyncFinish ensures that two different dishes, cooked in separate zones with potentially different start times and settings, will be ready to serve at the exact same time.
Do I need to preheat the air fryer?
Yes, preheating is recommended for best results, especially for air frying and roasting, as it helps achieve crispier textures and more even cooking. The higher power performance allows for rapid preheating.
Troubleshooting
Appliance does not turn on.
Ensure the power cord is securely plugged into a working electrical outlet. Check your home's circuit breaker.
Food is not cooking evenly.
Ensure food is not overcrowding the basket. Try shaking or turning the food halfway through cooking. For dual-zone cooking, ensure items in both zones are placed appropriately.
Air fryer is producing excessive smoke.
Check for food debris on the heating element or in the basket. Ensure you are not using too much oil; a light spray or toss is usually sufficient. Some smoke can occur with fatty foods.
The ClearCook Window appears foggy.
This is normal condensation that can occur during cooking, especially with high-moisture foods. It should dissipate once cooking is complete or the unit cools.
Basket is difficult to remove or insert.
Ensure the basket is fully cool before attempting to remove or insert. Check for any obstructions in the drawer slot.
