Possible Cause(s) Solution(s) FRENCH FRIES ARE FRIED UNEVENLY IN THE AIR FRYER. The potatoes used were unsuitable. Always use fresh potatoes that are evenly sliced. Make sure they stay firm and cook evenly by regularly turning/ shaking them during the cooking cycle. The potato slices were not rinsed and dried adequately before air frying. Rinse the potato slices thoroughly to remove the starch from the outside. Ensure you pat dry the potato slices with kitchen towel thoroughly before air frying. While oil is not necessary, if adding oil, ensure no more than 30ml is used and that the potatoes are evenly coated prior to cooking. Risk of fire. FRENCH FRIES ARE NOT CRISPY WHEN THEY COME OUT OF THE AIR FRYER. The crispiness of the fries depends on the amount of oil and water in the potato slices. Ensure you sure you pat dry the potato slices with kitchen towel thoroughly before adding the oil. Cut the potatoes into thinner slices for a crispier result. While oil is not necessary, if adding oil, ensure no more than 30ml is used and that the potatoes are evenly coated prior to cooking. Risk of fire. THE INGREDIENTS USED IN THE AIR FRYER ARE NOT COOKED. The Air Fryer has been overloaded with food. Put smaller batches of ingredients into the Crisper Tray. Smaller batches are fried more evenly. The Crisper Tray and appliance have not been adequately preheated. Always preheat the Crisper Tray and appliance for 3 minutes before inserting food. The set temperature is too low. Adjust the settings to the required temperature setting (see section `Settings'). The cooking time is too short. Adjust the settings to the required preparation time (see section `Settings').

The Air Fryer is not hot enough/ the food has not been cooked for long enough. Increase the temperature and time of the cooking cycle. You used a type of snack meant to be prepared in a deep fat fryer. Use snacks made to be prepared in the oven, or lightly brush oil (never more than 30ml or oil/ lard) onto the snacks for a crispier result. FOOD DOES NOT COOK EVENLY. You are not shaking food frequently enough during the cooking cycle. Tips for shaking: if a recipe calls for 20 minutes cooking time and you want to shake the food half way through, set time to 10 minutes, then shake at end of cycle. Then put on again for another 10 minutes. THE FAN COMES ON WHEN YOU TURN THE AIR FRYER OFF. You have recently run/ started a cooking cycle. The fan stays on to cool the product after cooking.
