7. Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your Duronic FG19 Airfryer Grill, please refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Appliance does not turn on. | Not plugged in; power outlet malfunction; appliance not switched on. | Ensure the power cord is securely plugged into a working outlet. Press the power button. Check your circuit breaker. |
| Food is not cooking evenly. | Overcrowding the cooking area; incorrect temperature/time settings. | Avoid overcrowding; cook in smaller batches if necessary. Adjust temperature and time according to recipe guidelines. Shake or flip food halfway through cooking. |
| White smoke coming from the appliance. | Excess oil/grease from food; food residue in the cooking chamber. | This is usually normal if cooking fatty foods. Clean the cooking chamber and accessories thoroughly after each use to prevent residue buildup. |
| Food is not crispy. | Too much moisture in food; not enough oil (for air frying); overcrowding. | Pat food dry before cooking. A small amount of oil can help with crisping. Do not overcrowd the basket. |
