Maintenance and Cleaning
- Daily Cleaning: After each use, allow the appliance to cool completely. Remove the fry pan and crisper tray. Wash them with warm, soapy water and a non-abrasive sponge. Rinse and dry thoroughly. The main unit should be wiped down with a damp cloth.
- Self-Clean Function: The steam air fryer features a self-clean function to descale the interior. Refer to the specific instructions in the full manual for activating this cycle. This function uses steam to loosen residue inside the cooking chamber.
- Drip Tray: The appliance includes a drip tray to collect excess moisture or oil. Empty and clean this tray regularly.

Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Appliance does not turn on. | Not plugged in; power outlet issue; main unit not properly assembled. | Ensure the power cord is securely plugged into a working outlet. Check if the fry pan is fully inserted into the main unit. |
| Food is not cooked evenly. | Overcrowding the basket; insufficient shaking/flipping. | Cook food in smaller batches. Shake or flip food halfway through cooking for even results. |
| White residue inside after steaming. | Mineral buildup from tap water. | Use distilled water for the steam function. Run the self-clean function to descale the interior. |
| Smoke coming from the unit. | Grease buildup; fatty foods. | Clean the fry pan and crisper tray thoroughly after each use. For fatty foods, consider using parchment paper or aluminum foil in the basket (ensure it doesn't block airflow). |
