5. Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your Tefal EY701D, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

• Food is not cooked evenly: Ensure the basket is not overfilled. Shake the basket halfway through cooking for better circulation. Adjust cooking time or temperature if needed.
• Food is not crispy: Ensure the temperature is set correctly. For some foods, a small amount of oil can be lightly sprayed for extra crispiness. Do not overfill the basket.
• White smoke coming from the appliance: This is usually caused by fat residue from previous use or excessive oil on the food. Clean the basket and pan thoroughly. Ensure no food particles are stuck in the heating element.
• Appliance emits an unusual smell: During first use, a slight odor may occur as manufacturing residues burn off. This is normal. If the smell persists or is strong, unplug the appliance and contact customer support.
