Cooking Tips:

• For best results, preheat the air fryer for 3-5 minutes before adding food.
• Do not overfill the basket. Overfilling can prevent food from cooking evenly and becoming crispy.
• Shake the basket or flip food halfway through cooking for even browning and crisping.
• A light mist of oil can enhance crispiness, especially for fresh vegetables.

5. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your PowerXL Air Fryer, refer to the following common solutions:

• Appliance not turning on: Ensure the power cord is securely plugged into a grounded outlet. Check if the fry basket is fully inserted into the unit.
• Food not cooking evenly: Do not overfill the basket. Shake or flip food halfway through cooking. Ensure the crisper tray is properly positioned.
• Food not crispy: Ensure food is patted dry before air frying. A light coat of oil can help. Do not overfill the basket.
• White smoke from unit: This may indicate excess fat dripping onto the heating element. Clean the crisper tray and basket thoroughly. For fatty foods, you may place a small piece of aluminum foil under the crisper tray to catch drips.
