FAQs
What is the total capacity of the Salter EK6178AS Air Fryer?
The air fryer has a total capacity of 9 liters, split into two independent 4.5-liter cooking drawers.
Can I cook different foods at different temperatures and times simultaneously?
Yes, absolutely. The Salter EK6178AS features independent cooking options for each drawer and 'Sync and Match' technology, allowing you to set distinct temperatures and times, and even synchronize their finishing.
How do the 'Sync' and 'Match' functions work?
The 'Sync' function allows you to cook two different foods using different settings, ensuring they finish cooking at precisely the same time. The 'Match' function duplicates the settings from one drawer to the other, ideal for cooking larger quantities of the same food.
Is the air fryer easy to clean?
Yes, the air fryer comes with non-stick steel pots and racks which make cleaning simple. They can be washed with warm, soapy water or are typically dishwasher safe. The exterior can be wiped clean with a damp cloth.
What is the power output of this air fryer?
The Salter EK6178AS Dual Drawer Air Fryer has a powerful 2400W heating element, ensuring fast and efficient cooking.
Do I need to preheat the air fryer?
While many recipes may not explicitly require preheating, doing so can help achieve more consistent cooking results and crispier textures, especially for foods like fries or chicken. The 2400W power ensures quick preheating.
Troubleshooting
Air fryer will not turn on.
Ensure the power cord is securely plugged into a working electrical outlet. Check if the outlet is functioning by plugging in another appliance. Verify that the drawers are fully and correctly inserted into the main unit.
Food is not cooking evenly or becoming crispy.
Avoid overcrowding the baskets; cook in smaller batches if necessary. Shake or flip the food halfway through the cooking process to ensure even exposure to hot air. Check that the temperature and time settings are appropriate for the food type.
White smoke is coming from the air fryer.
A small amount of white smoke can be normal during initial use due to protective coatings burning off. If it continues, it might be due to fatty or oily residue from previous cooking. Ensure baskets and racks are thoroughly cleaned after each use. Trim excess fat from food before cooking.
