Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your air fryer, refer to the following common solutions:

• Food Not Crispy: Increase cooking time or temperature. Ensure food is not wet before placing it in the air fryer; pat dry if necessary.
• White Smoke from Appliance: This may indicate excessive grease from fatty foods. Clean the drip tray and basket thoroughly. Reduce the amount of oil used if adding oil to food.
