FAQs
Can I cook two completely different types of food at the same time?
Yes, the dual baskets are designed for cooking two different dishes simultaneously. You may need to adjust cooking times or temperatures slightly for optimal results depending on the food types.
What does the 'Dehydrate' function do?
The dehydrate function allows you to remove moisture from food at a low temperature over an extended period, perfect for making fruit leathers, jerky, or dried herbs.
How do I clean the dual baskets?
The baskets can usually be washed with warm, soapy water and a non-abrasive sponge. Many models also have dishwasher-safe baskets, but always check your specific user manual.
Is this air fryer suitable for a large family?
With an 8-litre total capacity split between two baskets, it is well-suited for medium to large families or for entertaining guests.
Can I use oil in the air fryer?
While air fryers use significantly less oil than traditional frying, a small amount of oil can enhance crispiness and flavour. Always use a light coating or spray, and avoid excessive amounts.
What is the warranty period for this product?
Warranty information can vary. Please refer to the product documentation or the manufacturer's website for the exact warranty period and terms.
Troubleshooting
Air fryer not turning on
Ensure the power cord is securely plugged into a working outlet. Check that the baskets are properly inserted.
Uneven cooking results
Ensure food is not overcrowded in the baskets. Shake or stir food halfway through the cooking cycle for even crisping. Adjust cooking times for dual basket meals if one item finishes significantly faster.
Digital display is unresponsive
Unplug the air fryer for one minute, then plug it back in to reset the unit.
Smoke coming from the unit
Ensure no excessive oil or food residue is present in the baskets or heating element area. Clean the unit thoroughly. High-fat foods may produce some smoke.
