Troubleshooting
Air fryer won't turn on.
Check if the power cord is securely plugged into both the air fryer and a working wall outlet. Try plugging it into a different outlet to rule out a faulty socket.
Food is not crispy or cooked evenly.
Ensure you are not overloading the baskets; cook in smaller batches if necessary. Shake or flip ingredients midway through cooking to ensure even browning. Verify that the correct temperature and time settings are selected for the food type. Ensure baskets are fully inserted into the unit.
White smoke is coming from the air fryer.
White smoke is usually caused by grease from fatty foods dripping onto the heating element. Ensure the basket and crisping tray are clean before use. For very fatty foods, you can add a small amount of water to the bottom of the outer drawer to prevent smoke. Do not overfill the baskets.
