Troubleshooting
Air fryer not turning on
Ensure the power cord is securely plugged into a working electrical outlet. Check if the baskets are correctly inserted.
Uneven cooking results
Ensure food is not overcrowding the baskets. Utilize the 'Time to Shake' alert and manually shake or rearrange food halfway through cooking for best results.
Food sticking to the baskets
Ensure the non-stick coating is intact. Lightly oiling the baskets before cooking, especially for lean meats, can prevent sticking. Do not use metal utensils that can scratch the coating.
Error message on display
Refer to the user manual for specific error code meanings. Generally, unplugging the unit for a few minutes and plugging it back in can resolve temporary glitches.
Excessive smoke
Ensure the appliance is clean, especially the heating element. Avoid cooking excessively fatty foods without proper fat drainage, or consider using a slightly lower temperature.
