Troubleshooting

Problem	Possible Cause	Solution
Air fryer does not turn on.	Appliance not plugged in; power outlet not working; fry drawer not fully inserted.	Ensure the power cord is securely plugged into a working outlet. Push the fry drawer completely into the unit until it clicks into place.
Food is not cooked evenly.	Too much food in the basket; food not shaken or flipped during cooking.	Do not overfill the basket. Shake or flip ingredients halfway through cooking for even results.
Food is not crispy.	Not enough oil (if applicable); temperature too low; cooking time too short.	Lightly coat food with oil for crispier results. Increase temperature or cooking time as needed.
White smoke coming from the appliance.	Greasy residue from previous use; cooking fatty ingredients.	Clean the fry basket and drawer thoroughly after each use. For fatty foods, place a piece of aluminum foil at the bottom of the drawer to catch excess oil.
