FAQs

How much oil should I use in the air fryer?

For most recipes, you can use up to 1 tablespoon of oil. The forced hot air technology allows for crispy results with very little or no added oil.

Can I cook frozen foods in the air fryer?

Yes, frozen foods like fries, nuggets, and spring rolls can be cooked directly in the air fryer. You may need to adjust cooking time and temperature as per package instructions or recipe recommendations.

What is the warranty period for this air fryer?

The Westpoint XL Digital Air Fryer comes with a 1-year manufacturer warranty.

Is it safe to use the air fryer for longer than 60 minutes?

The maximum timer setting is 60 minutes. For cooking tasks requiring longer times, you can reset the timer once the initial cycle is complete.

Can I put parchment paper or aluminum foil in the basket?

While some users do, ensure that parchment paper or foil does not obstruct air circulation. Do not let it touch the heating elements. It's best to refer to specific recipes or manufacturer guidelines for best practices.

What does the 10 pre-set cooking programs include?

The pre-set programs are typically designed for common foods like fries, chicken, steak, shrimp, cake, pizza, fish, vegetables, warm up, and dehydrate. Exact functions may vary slightly.

How do I clean the non-stick basket and tray?

The non-stick basket and tray are dishwasher safe. You can also wash them by hand with warm, soapy water and a soft sponge for easy cleaning.

Troubleshooting

Air fryer does not turn on.

Ensure the power cord is securely plugged into a working outlet. Check that the basket is properly inserted into the unit.

Food is not cooking evenly.

Do not overcrowd the basket. Shake the basket halfway through the cooking cycle to ensure even heat distribution.

The digital display is not responding.

Unplug the air fryer for 30 seconds, then plug it back in to reset the unit. If the issue persists, contact customer support.

Basket or tray is difficult to remove or insert.

Ensure the air fryer is completely cool. Check for any food debris obstructing the mechanism. Do not force the basket.

Unusual noise during operation.

Slight fan noise is normal. If the noise is loud or grinding, stop operation and check for any obstructions. Contact customer support if the issue continues.
