to be shaken
halfway through
the preparation
time.
Ingredients that lie on top of or
across each other (e.g. fries) need

Fried snacks are
not crispy when
they come out
of the airfryer.
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
crispier result.
I cannot slide
the pan into
the appliance
properly.
There are
too much
ingredients in the
basket.
Do not ll the basket beyond the
MAX indication.
The basket is not
placed in the pan
correctly.

White
smoke comes
out of the
appliance.
You are preparing
greasy ingredients.
When you fry greasy ingredients in
the airfryer, a large amount of oil will
leak into the pan. The oil produces
white smoke and the pan may heat
up more than usual. This does not
affect the appliance or the end result.
The pan still
contains grease
residues from
previous use.
White smoke is caused by
grease heating up in the pan.
Make sure you clean the pan
properly after each use.
Fresh fries are
fried unevenly
in the airfryer.
You did not soak
the potato sticks
properly before
you fried them.
Soak the potato sticks in a bowl
for at least 30 minutes, take them
out and dry them with kitchen
paper.
You did not use
the right potato
type.
Use fresh potatoes and make sure
they stay rm during frying.
Fresh fries
are not crispy
when they
come out of
the airfryer.
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 crispier
result.
