FAQs
Can I cook two completely different types of food at the same time?
Yes, the dual basket design is specifically intended for cooking two different dishes simultaneously. You can set different temperatures and times for each basket.
What does the 'Dehydrate' function do?
The dehydrate function allows you to remove moisture from foods at a low temperature over an extended period, suitable for making dried fruits, jerky, or dried herbs.
Is the 8-litre capacity per basket or total?
The 8-litre capacity refers to the total combined capacity of both baskets.
Are the baskets non-stick?
The baskets are typically coated with a non-stick material for easy food release and cleaning. Refer to the user manual for specific material details.
How do I ensure food gets crispy?
For maximum crispiness, ensure food is patted dry before cooking, use a small amount of oil if desired, and avoid overcrowding the baskets. Shaking the basket halfway through cooking also helps.
What is the warranty period for this air fryer?
Please refer to the product packaging or the manufacturer's warranty card for the exact warranty period and terms.
Can I use metal utensils in the baskets?
It is generally recommended to use silicone, wooden, or plastic utensils to avoid scratching the non-stick coating on the baskets. Metal utensils may damage the coating over time.
Troubleshooting
Air fryer does not power on.
Ensure the power cord is securely plugged into a working electrical outlet. Check if the main power switch (if applicable) is turned on. Try a different outlet.
Food is not cooking evenly.
Do not overcrowd the baskets. Ensure food is arranged in a single layer. Shake or flip food halfway through the cooking cycle. Verify the selected program and temperature are appropriate for the food type.
Smoke is coming from the air fryer.
Check for food debris or grease buildup in the baskets or on the heating element. Ensure no excessively fatty foods are causing excessive dripping. Clean the appliance thoroughly as per care instructions.
Digital display is unresponsive.
Unplug the air fryer, wait for 60 seconds, and plug it back in to reset the control panel. If the issue persists, contact customer support.
