Frequently Asked Questions - CHN-FA5TB HYUNDAI

Can I use oil in the air fryer?

No, the air fryer works with hot air. Do not fill the basket with oil or fat. However, you can lightly brush oil on foods for crispiness.

Why does my air fryer produce white smoke?

White smoke is usually caused by greasy ingredients or leftover grease in the basket. Clean the basket thoroughly after each use. It is normal and does not affect performance.

How do I clean the air fryer?

Allow the appliance to cool completely. Clean the basket and grid with hot water, mild detergent, and a non-abrasive sponge. They are dishwasher safe. Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth.

Can I put metal utensils in the basket?

No, avoid metal utensils as they can damage the non-stick coating. Use silicone, wooden, or plastic utensils.

Why are my fries not crispy?

Ensure you use fresh potatoes and rinse off starch. Cut sticks smaller, add a little oil, and don't overcrowd the basket. Preheat the appliance for 3 minutes if needed.

How much food can I put in the basket?

Do not fill the basket more than 3/4 full. Overfilling can cause uneven cooking. Refer to the food table for recommended amounts.

What does the preset 'Defrost' function do?

The Defrost function runs at a low temperature (60°C default, adjustable 30-80°C) for 20 minutes to gently thaw frozen foods.

Why does the appliance turn off during cooking?

The timer may have expired or the appliance may have overheated. Check that the vents are not blocked. If the problem persists, contact service.

Can I cook frozen food directly?

Yes, you can cook frozen foods like fries, nuggets, or fish fingers. Adjust time and temperature according to the food table. Shake halfway for even cooking.

How do I preheat the air fryer?

Suggestions

• A smaller amount of food requires a slightly shorter preparation time, a larger amount of food requires a slightly longer preparation time.
• It is recommended not to fill the air fryer basket more than 34 of its capacity. The maximum amount of ingredients that can be prepared depends on the type of food you want to prepare.
• Shaking smaller ingredients halfway through the preparation time optimizes the final result and can help avoid uneven cooking of the ingredients.
• Prepared packaged snacks can be cooked quickly and easily. Prepackaged dough also requires a shorter preparation time than homemade dough.
• Insert a roasting pan or dish into the air fryer basket if you are cooking a pie or quiche, or if you are cooking flaky foods or filled ingredients.
• You can also use the air fryer to heat ingredients by setting the temperature to 150^ for up to 10 minutes.
• It is advisable to wait a few minutes for the machine to cool down when it is necessary to start another cooking. Keep warming no more than 1 hour.
• If using oven-ready snacks, do not add oil as they are usually pre-fried and become golden and crispy when prepared in the air fryer.
• If they are not crispy and remain pale, check the following:

A. The amount of ingredients: Put small batches of ingredients into the basket. Cover the bottom of the basket with a single layer. Smaller batches are fried more evenly.

B. The preparation time: If you have not preheated the appliance before inserting the food, make sure you add an extra 3 minutes to the preparation time when setting the timer.

C. Most foods need the indicated prep time to get fully cooked.

D. If some foods such as snacks pop when cooked in the air fryer, choose a shorter preparation time.

Cleaning and maintenance

Warning: allow the basket, the grill and the interior of the appliance to cool down completely before starting to clean. The basket and the grill are made with a non-stick coating. Do not use metal kitchen utensils or abrasive cleaning materials to clean them, as this may damage the finish.

Clean the appliance after each use. Remove the oil and fat from the bottom of the pan after each use to avoid smoke.

1) Switch off the machine, remove the plug from the wall socket and let the appliance cool down for 15 minutes.

Tip: Remove the basket to allow the fryer to cool more quickly.

2) Clean the outside of the appliance with a damp cloth.

3) Clean the basket and the grill with hot water, a little washing-up liquid and a non-abrasive sponge. Note: the basket and rack are dishwasher safe.

Tip: If food scraps are stuck to the basket or rack, you can soak them in hot water with dish soap for 10-15 minutes. Soaking will loosen food residue and make it easier to remove. The quality of your detergent determines how easy it is to remove food and grease residues. Be sure to use a dish soap that dissolves oil and grease. If there are grease stains on the basket or rack and you have not been able to remove them with hot water and dish soap, use a liquid degreaser. Tip: You can use a degreasing liquid to remove residual dirt.

4) Clean the inside of the appliance with hot water and a non-abrasive sponge. Any other maintenance must be performed by an authorized service centre.

Storage

1) Unplug the appliance and let it cool down.

2) Make sure all parts are clean and dry before storing the appliance.

Disposal

Do not throw the appliance with normal household waste when it is used up, but hand it over to an official collection point for recycling. In this way, you help to preserve the environment.

Problem Possible cause Solution
The air fryer does not work	The appliance is not plugged in.	Put the mains plug in an earthed wall socket.
	You have not press START.	Press the START button after selecting the menu, to start cooking.
	Several appliances are connected to one socket.	Try a different socket and check the fuses. The air fryer has a power of 1400W.
The outside of the appliance becomes hot during use.	The outside of the appliance becomes hot because the heat inside radiates to the outsidewalls.	This is normal. But the handles, panel that you need to touch during use will still stay cool enough to touch.
		The fry pot, rack and the inside of the fryer will always become hot when the appliance is switched on to ensure the food is properly cooked. The fry pot and rack are always too hot to touch.
The ingredients fried with the air fryer are not done	The amount of ingredients in the fry pot is too big.	Put smaller batches of ingredients in the fry pot. Smaller batches are fried more evenly.
	The set temperature is too low.	Adjust the temperature according to the required temperature setting (see ‘food table’).
	The preparation time is too short.	Adjust the cooking time according to the required preparation time (see ‘food table’).
The ingredients are fried unevenly in the air fryer.	Certain types of ingredients need to be shaken halfway through the preparation time.	Ingredients that lie on top of or across each other (e.g. fries) need to be shaken halfway through the preparation time. See ‘food table’.
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 crispier result.
I cannot slide the potinto the appliance properly.	There are too much ingredients in the pot.	Do not fill the pot beyond 3⁄4 of its capacity.
White smoke comes out of 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 pot. The oil produces white smoke and the fry pot may heat up more than usual. This does not effect the appliance or the end result.
	The fry pot still contains grease residues from previous use.	White smoke is caused by grease heating up in the pot . make sure you clean the pan properly after each use.
Fresh fries are fried unevenly in the air fryer.	You did not use the right potato type.	Use fresh potatoes and make sure they stay firm during frying.
	You did not rinse the potato sticks properly before you fried them.	Rinse the potato sticks properly to remove starch from the outside of the sticks.
Problem Possible cause Solution
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.	Put smaller batches of ingredients in the fry pot. Smaller batches are fried more evenly.
		Cut the potato sticks smaller for a crispier result.
		Add slightly more oil for a crispier result.
