6. Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your ChefRobot Dual Air Fryer, please refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Appliance does not turn on. | Not plugged in; power outlet malfunction. | Ensure the power cord is securely plugged into a working outlet. Check the circuit breaker. |
| Food is not cooked evenly. | Overcrowding the basket; insufficient shaking/flipping. | Do not overcrowd the basket. Shake or flip food halfway through cooking for even results. |
| White smoke coming from the appliance. | Grease residue from previous use; fatty food. | Clean the basket and crisper plate thoroughly after each use. For fatty foods, drain excess oil. |
| Unusual odor during first few uses. | Manufacturing residues burning off. | This is normal for new appliances. Run the air fryer empty for 10-15 minutes at 400°F before first use to burn off any residual odors. Ensure good ventilation. |
| Food is not crispy. | Too much moisture; incorrect temperature/time. | Pat food dry before air frying. Adjust temperature and time as needed. A light coating of oil can help. |
If the problem persists after checking these solutions, please contact customer support.
