Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Air fryer does not turn on. | Not plugged in; power outlet not working; appliance malfunction. | Ensure the power cord is securely plugged into a working outlet. Check your circuit breaker. If the issue persists, contact customer support. |
| Food is not cooked evenly. | Overfilling the basket; food not shaken/flipped during cooking. | Do not overfill the baskets. For best results, shake or flip food items halfway through the cooking time. |
| White smoke coming from the appliance. | Grease residue from previous use; high-fat food cooking. | Clean the baskets and grill plates thoroughly after each use. For high-fat foods, consider draining excess fat during cooking. This is usually harmless. |
| Air fryer smells like plastic. | New appliance smell. | This is normal for new appliances and will dissipate after a few uses. Ensure good ventilation during initial uses. |
