Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your air fryer, refer to the following table:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Air fryer does not turn on. | Appliance not plugged in. Basket not inserted correctly. | Ensure the power cord is securely plugged into a grounded outlet. Push the basket firmly into the main unit until it clicks into place. |
| Food is not cooked evenly. | Basket is overfilled. Food not shaken or flipped. | Do not overfill the basket; cook in smaller batches if necessary. Shake or flip food halfway through cooking, especially for items like fries or nuggets. |
| White smoke coming from the appliance. | Grease residue from previous use. High fat content food. | Clean the basket and outer pot thoroughly after each use. For high-fat foods, consider draining excess fat during cooking or adding a small amount of water to the outer pot to prevent smoke. |
