Maintenance and Cleaning

Regular cleaning will prolong the life of your JOCCA Hot Air Fryer and ensure hygienic food preparation.

2. Clean Removable Parts: The cooking basket and other removable parts (such as the silicone grid holder) can be washed with warm, soapy water. The steel interior of the basket has a non-stick finish, making it easy to clean. Avoid abrasive cleaning materials that could damage the non-stick coating.
3. Clean Main Unit: Wipe the exterior of the main unit with a damp cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. Never immerse the main unit in water.
4. Dry Thoroughly: Ensure all parts are completely dry before reassembling or storing the appliance.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your JOCCA Hot Air Fryer, please refer to the following common solutions:

• Appliance does not turn on: Check if the power cord is securely plugged into a working electrical outlet. Ensure the 'on/off' button has been pressed.
• Food is not cooked evenly: Ensure the basket is not overloaded. For best results, shake or turn food halfway through the cooking process.
• White smoke coming from the appliance: This is usually caused by grease residue from previous use. Clean the basket and heating element thoroughly. If the smoke is dark or accompanied by a burning smell, unplug immediately and contact support.
• Appliance suddenly stops during operation: The overheating protection may have been activated. Unplug the appliance and let it cool down for at least 30 minutes before attempting to use it again.
