Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your BELLA 6 Qt Slim Air Fryer, please refer to the following common problems and solutions:

• Appliance not turning on: Ensure the power cord is securely plugged into a working electrical outlet. Check if the frying basket is fully inserted into the unit.
• Food not cooking evenly: Ensure food is arranged in a single layer and not overcrowded in the basket. Shake or flip food halfway through the cooking cycle for best results.
• White smoke coming from the appliance: This may be caused by grease from previous cooking or excessive oil on food. Clean the basket and tray thoroughly. Reduce the amount of oil used.
• Appliance emits unusual odor: During initial uses, a slight odor may occur due to manufacturing residues. This is normal and should dissipate quickly. Ensure proper ventilation.
