Troubleshooting

• Oven not turning on: Ensure the power cord is securely plugged into a working electrical outlet. Check your home's circuit breaker.
• Food not cooking evenly: Ensure accessories are placed correctly according to the recipe. For air frying, shake or flip food halfway through cooking. Avoid overcrowding the basket.
• Excessive smoke: This may occur if cooking very fatty foods. Ensure the crumb tray is clean and properly inserted. Use the sheet pan below the air fry basket to catch drips.
• Unit displays 'Hot' and won't flip: The oven is too hot to safely flip into storage position. Allow it to cool down until the display changes to 'Flip'.
• Digital display not working: Unplug the unit for a few minutes, then plug it back in. If the issue persists, contact customer support.
