8. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your air fryer, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Air fryer does not turn on. | Not plugged in; power outlet malfunction; timer not set. | Ensure the power cord is securely plugged into a working outlet. Set the timer to the desired cooking duration. |
| Food is not cooked evenly. | Basket is overfilled; food not shaken/turned. | Do not overfill the basket. Shake or turn food halfway through cooking for optimal results. |
| Food is not crispy. | Too much moisture; insufficient cooking time/temperature. | Pat food dry before air frying. Increase cooking time or temperature slightly. A light coating of oil can also help. |
| White smoke coming from the appliance. | Grease residue from previous use; fatty food being cooked. | Clean the pan and basket thoroughly after each use. For very fatty foods, place a small amount of water in the bottom of the pan to catch drips. |
