Troubleshooting

Air fryer not turning on

Ensure the power cord is securely plugged into a working outlet. Check if the basket and drawer are correctly inserted, as many models have safety interlocks.

Food is not cooking evenly

Do not overfill the basket. Shake or stir the food halfway through the cooking time to ensure uniform exposure to the hot air.

Check for food debris in the heating element or on the basket. Ensure you are not using too much oil, especially if using marinades with high fat content. Clean the appliance thoroughly.
