7. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Appliance does not turn on. | Not plugged in; power outlet malfunction; START/STOP button not pressed. | Ensure the power cord is securely plugged into a working outlet. Press the START/STOP button. |
| Food is not cooking evenly. | Overcrowding the basket/tray; incorrect temperature/time settings. | Do not overcrowd the cooking area. Ensure food is in a single layer. Adjust temperature and time as needed. Flip or shake food halfway through cooking. |
| White smoke coming from the oven. | Grease/oil residue from previous use; fatty food cooking. | Clean the crumb tray and interior thoroughly. For fatty foods, ensure proper ventilation and consider using less oil. |
| Food is not crispy. | Too much moisture in food; not enough oil (for air frying); incorrect temperature. | Pat food dry before cooking. For air frying, a small amount of oil can help. Increase temperature or cooking time slightly. |
