Cooking Guide
The following table provides general guidelines for various food types. Cooking times and temperatures may vary based on food quantity, size, and desired crispness. Always ensure food is cooked to a safe internal temperature.
A detailed cooking chart providing recommended temperature and time settings for different food types, including cake, potatoes, shrimp, chicken, steak, meat, fish, and vegetables, to guide users in achieving optimal results.
For optimal results, consider using a small amount of oil (1-2 tablespoons) for fresh ingredients to enhance crispiness, though it is not always necessary.

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; appliance malfunction. | Ensure the power cord is securely plugged into a working outlet. Check your circuit breaker. If the issue persists, contact customer support. |
| Food is not cooked evenly. | Basket overloaded; food not shaken/flipped; incorrect temperature/time. | Do not overload the basket. Shake or flip food halfway through cooking. Adjust temperature and time as needed. |
| White smoke comes from the appliance. | Grease residue from previous use; fatty ingredients. | Clean the basket and crisper plate thoroughly after each use. For very fatty foods, excess oil may drip and cause smoke; this is normal. |
| Food is not crispy. | Insufficient cooking time/temperature; too much moisture in food. | Increase cooking time or temperature. Pat food dry before cooking. A light coating of oil can help. |
