Fried snacks are not crispy
when they come out of the
Air Fryer
You used a type of snacks meant
to be prepared in a traditional
deep fryer.
Use oven snacks or lightly brush some oil onto the
snacks for a crisper result.
I cannot slide the pan into
the appliance properly Basket is over full. Do not fill the basket beyond the MAX line
The basket is not placed in the
pan correctly.
Push the basket down into the pan until you hear a
click
White smoke comes out
from the appliance.
You are preparing greasy
ingredients.
When you fry greasy ingredients in the Air Fryer,
a large amount of oil will leak into the pan. The oil
produces while smoke and the pan may heat up
more than usual. This does not affect the appliance
or the end result.
The pan still contains greasy
residue from previous use
White smoke is caused by grease heating up in the
pan. Make sure you clean the pan properly after
each use.
Potatoes are fried
unevenly in the Air Fryer
You did not use the right potato
type.
Use fresh potatoes and make sure that they stay firm
during frying.
You did not rinse the potatoes
properly before frying them.
Rinse the potato sticks properly to remove starch
from the outside of the sticks.
Fresh 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 fries.
Make sure you dry the potato sticks properly before
you add the oil.
Cut the potato sticks smaller for a crispier result
Add slightly more oil for a crisper result.
