Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your Aigostar Air Fryer, please refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Appliance does not turn on. | Not plugged in; power outlet issue; basket not fully inserted. | Ensure the power cord is securely plugged into a working outlet. Push the basket fully into the unit until it clicks. |
| Food is not cooked evenly. | Basket overloaded; food not shaken/turned during cooking. | Do not overload the basket. Shake or turn food halfway through cooking for even results. |
| White smoke coming from the appliance. | Grease residue from previous use; high-fat food cooking. | Clean the basket and outer pan thoroughly after each use. For high-fat foods, drain excess fat from the outer pan during cooking. |

User Tips
- Preheat for Best Results: For certain foods, preheating the air fryer for 3-5 minutes can lead to crispier outcomes.
- Don't Overcrowd: Cook in batches if necessary to ensure even air circulation and crispiness. Overcrowding can lead to steamed rather than fried results.
- Shake or Flip: For items like fries or chicken wings, shaking the basket or flipping the food halfway through cooking helps ensure all sides are evenly cooked and browned.
- Use a Little Oil: While air frying uses significantly less oil, a light spray or toss with a teaspoon of oil can greatly enhance the texture and flavor of many foods.
- Experiment with Recipes: The included 20-recipe book is a great starting point. Don't hesitate to adapt your favorite oven or deep-fryer recipes for the air fryer.
