Helpful Tips / Troubleshooting

PROBLEM POTENTIAL CAUSE SOLUTION
Overcooked / Undercooked Foods
  • Incorrect temperature or time setting
  • You may have to adjust the time and temperature to desired taste.
  • Because your Air Fryer is smaller than your regular oven, it will heat up faster and generally cook in shorter periods of time.
Burning Smell
  • Food build-up inside fryer drawer
  • Refer to "Cleaning Your Air Fryer " Section.
Touch panel interface is non-responsive
  • Panel is dirty or greasy
  • Excess moisture on panel
  • Controller is malfunctioning
  • Fryer drawer is not inserted
  • Ensure panel is clean and free of debris before using.
  • Ensure panel is clean and dry, and use dry hands to operate.
  • Unplug unit and let it rest for 60 seconds before plugging in again. If the error persists contact aftersales support.
  • Ensure fryer drawer is inserted correctly.
Small water drips and steam escape from drawer during cooking
  • Water released from food during the cooking cycle
  • This is not a concern and is part of the normal cooking cycle. Please mop up drips with a soft cloth.
E12 warning
  • No water in water tank
  • Ensure water tank is filled and insert back into the unit.
  • If the water tank becomes empty during a steaming programme, the unit will emit an audible beep and error code E12 will continuously flash for 10 minutes. To continue the cycle, refill the tank. If the dry tank alert has surpassed 10 minutes, the E12 error code will still be displayed, however the unit will cancel the cycle and a new programme will need to be selected.
E01, E02, E03, E04, E05 and E11 warning
  • Please contact customer service.
