If you do, however, discover a problem, see if you can solve it by using the solutions offered in the following table. If you do not succeed, contact our customer service team.165

Problem Possible cause Troubleshooting The appliance is not working. The mains plug (13) is not plugged into a mains socket. Only connect the appli- ance to a properly installed power socket. Incomplete entry. Start the cooking process by pressing the button (see section “8. Operating the air fryer”). The food is not cooked. The fill level is too high. Only fill the fryer pan (9) up to the MAX marking. The cooking temperature is too low. Press the button (24) to increase the cooking tem- perature. The cooking time is too short. Press the button (16) to extend the cooking time. Acoustic signals sound when the steam spray func- tion is used. The water tank (4) is emp- ty. Remove the water tank (4) and fill it with water up to the marking. The food is not evenly cooked. The pieces of food are too close together. Many foods need to be shaken/turned several times during the cooking time. Fill the fryer pan (8) with small pieces of food. Smaller pieces cook more evenly. The fried foods are not crisp enough. The food is unsuitable for cooking in the air fryer. Use oven-ready or lightly oiled snacks for crispier results. The appliance cannot be closed. The fryer pan (8) is too full. Only fill the fryer pan (9) up to the MAX marking.166 Problem Possible cause Troubleshooting White smoke comes out of the appliance. The food is very fatty. During preparation, fat from these extremely greasy foods drips onto the base of the fryer pan (8). The fat causes a higher temperature than usual to develop in the fryer pan – this does not impair the appliance or the cooking result. The fryer pan (8) and the grille (1) still have fat res- idues from the previous cooking process. Fat residue is burning. Clean the fryer pan (8) and the grille (1) after each use. Fresh chips are not evenly fried. The chips have not been sufficiently soaked. Place the chips in cold wa- ter for around 30 minutes to remove the starch. Dry the chips using kitchen paper before adding to the fryer pan. The variety of potato is unsuitable. Fresh chips do not go crisp. The potatoes are too moist. The crispiness is depend- ent on the water and starch content of the vari- ety of potato used and the quantity of oil. Dry the potatoes carefully and cover them with about 1 tablespoon of cooking oil. Cut the potatoes into smaller pieces.
