- Appliance not turning on: Ensure the power cord is securely plugged into a working electrical outlet. Check if the timer is set to the desired cooking duration.
- Food not cooking evenly: Shake the basket halfway through the cooking process for items like fries or nuggets. Ensure not to overcrowd the basket; cook in smaller batches if necessary.
- White smoke coming from the appliance: This may indicate that fat from fatty foods is dripping into the bottom pan. Clean the pan after each use. Excessive oil residue can also cause smoke.
