7. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your deime Air Fryer, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Air fryer does not turn on. | Not plugged in; power outlet malfunction; unit malfunction. | Ensure the power cord is securely plugged into a working grounded outlet. Try a different outlet. If the issue persists, contact customer support. |
| Food is not cooked evenly. | Basket overcrowded; food not shaken/flipped; incorrect temperature/time. | Do not overcrowd the basket; cook in smaller batches if necessary. Shake or flip food halfway through cooking. Adjust temperature and time as needed. |
| White smoke coming from the appliance. | Grease residue from previous use; high-fat food cooking. | Clean the basket and interior thoroughly after each use. For high-fat foods, drain excess fat during cooking. This is usually harmless but indicates residue. |
| Air fryer beeps and turns on/off repeatedly. | Internal malfunction; power supply issue. | Unplug the unit for a few minutes, then plug it back in. Ensure the power supply is stable. If the problem continues, contact deime customer support. |
| Food is not crispy. | Too much moisture; not enough oil (for certain foods); basket overcrowded. | Pat food dry before air frying. A light coating of oil can help achieve crispiness. Ensure the basket is not overcrowded. |
