7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your Xiaomi Dual Zone Air Fryer, please refer to the following common troubleshooting tips:

• Appliance Not Turning On:
    - Check if the power cord is securely plugged into a working electrical outlet.
    - Ensure both baskets are properly inserted into the main unit. The appliance has a safety feature that prevents operation if baskets are not correctly in place.
• Food Not Cooking Evenly:
    - Avoid overcrowding the baskets. Cook food in smaller batches if necessary to allow for proper air circulation.
    - Utilize the flipping reminders and shake or flip food halfway through the cooking process.
    - Verify that the selected temperature and cooking time are appropriate for the food type and quantity.
• Smoke Emitting from Appliance:
    - A small amount of white smoke during initial use is normal. If excessive smoke occurs, unplug the appliance immediately.
    - Ensure the baskets and heating element are clean and free from food residue or grease buildup.
    - Avoid cooking excessively fatty foods at very high temperatures, as this can cause smoke.
• Error Codes Displayed:
    - If an error code appears on the display, consult the comprehensive user manual (physical copy) for specific error code meanings and recommended solutions.

8. User Tips

Maximize your air frying experience with these helpful tips:

• Preheat for Best Results: For most recipes, preheating the air fryer for 3-5 minutes before adding food can lead to crispier and more evenly cooked results.
• Don't Overcrowd: Ensure there's enough space between food items in the basket for hot air to circulate effectively. Cook in batches if needed.
• Shake or Flip: For foods like fries, chicken wings, or vegetables, shaking or flipping them halfway through cooking helps achieve uniform crispiness.
• Light Oil for Extra Crisp: While air frying requires little to no oil, a light spray or toss with a small amount of oil can enhance crispiness and flavor for certain foods.
• Use Parchment Paper/Foil: For easier cleanup and to prevent sticking, line the bottom of the basket with air fryer-safe parchment paper or aluminum foil, ensuring it doesn't block air circulation.
