Cooking Tips

The 360° air circulation technology ensures even cooking and a crispy finish with significantly less oil.

• For best results, shake the basket halfway through the cooking time for foods like fries, chicken nuggets, or other small items to ensure even browning.
• Lightly spray or brush food with oil for extra crispiness, especially for fresh vegetables or homemade fries.
• Do not overfill the basket. Overfilling can prevent food from cooking evenly and becoming crispy.
• Smaller food items generally require shorter cooking times than larger items.

Cleaning and Maintenance

Proper cleaning and maintenance will extend the life of your ZAFRO Air Fryer and ensure optimal performance.

1. Unplug and Cool: Always unplug the air fryer and allow it to cool completely before cleaning.
2. Clean Basket and Crisper Plate: The nonstick frying basket and crisper plate are dishwasher safe. Alternatively, they can be washed by hand with hot water, dish soap, and a non-abrasive sponge. Avoid using metal utensils or abrasive cleaning materials, as this can damage the nonstick coating.
3. Clean Interior: Wipe the interior of the appliance with a damp cloth. If necessary, use a mild detergent.
4. Clean Exterior: Wipe the exterior of the air fryer with a damp cloth. Do not use harsh or abrasive cleaners.
5. Storage: Ensure all parts are clean and dry before storing the air fryer in a cool, dry place.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your ZAFRO Air Fryer, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

• Appliance does not turn on: Ensure the power cord is securely plugged into a grounded outlet. Check if the power button has been pressed.
• Food is not cooked evenly: Do not overfill the basket. Shake or flip food items halfway through cooking. Ensure the crisper plate is correctly inserted.
• Food is not crispy: Ensure the temperature is set correctly. Lightly brush or spray food with oil. Cook in smaller batches if necessary.
• White smoke coming from the appliance: This is usually caused by grease residue from previous use. Clean the basket and crisper plate thoroughly after each use. If cooking fatty foods, excess oil may drip into the drawer.
• Appliance emits a burning smell: Unplug immediately. Check for any food debris stuck in the heating element or basket. Clean thoroughly.
