Troubleshooting

Air fryer not turning on

Ensure the power cord is securely plugged into a working electrical outlet. Check if the power button has been pressed. If the issue persists, contact customer support.

Uneven cooking results

Ensure food is not overcrowded in the baskets. For best results, shake or turn food halfway through cooking. Make sure the baskets are properly seated in the air fryer.

Food sticking to the basket

While the baskets are non-stick, lightly coating food with oil can improve results. Avoid using metal utensils that could scratch the PFAS-free coating. Ensure the basket is clean before use.

Error code displayed

Refer to the user manual for specific error code meanings. Often, unplugging the unit for a minute and then plugging it back in can resolve temporary glitches. If an error persists, contact customer support.

Unusual noise during operation

Some operational noise is normal due to the fan. However, if the noise is excessive or sounds like grinding, stop the unit and check for any obstructions or foreign objects. Contact support if the noise continues.
