TROUBLESHOOTING

Problems Possible causes Solutions
The appliance does not work.	The power cord is not plugged in.	Insert the plug into the power socket, which must be earthed.
	The timer has not been set. Set	the desired cooking time by turning the time knob (S).
The ingredients are not ready.	The amount of ingredients is too high.	Use a smaller amount of ingredients. Small food quantities are easier to be cooked evenly.
	The set temperature is too low.	Set a higher cooking temperature. Turn the temperature knob (R) clockwise.
	The cooking time selected is too short.	Set a longer cooking time. Turn the time knob (S) clockwise.
The ingredients are not cooked evenly.	Some ingredients need to be stirred several times during cooking.	The ingredients on top or that are covered with other ingredients must be stirred while cooking.
The ingredients are not crunchy.	Some ingredients need larger amounts of oil.	Add a little more oil.
	You are using snacks that have to be cooked in a traditional way.	Use snacks for the oven or brush the snacks with oil before putting them into the basket.
White smoke comes out of the appliance.	The ingredients you are cooking are greasier.	When frying fatter ingredients, more oil is deposited on the accessories. The oil produces more white smoke while cooking. This has no effect on the preparation of the ingredients or on the appliance.
	There are residues of fat from previous cooking on the accessories.	White smoke is caused by heating of fat or oil on the accessories. Thoroughly clean the accessories after use.
Fresh potatoes, cut in sticks, are not fried evenly.	The type of potatoes used is not suitable for frying.	Use fresh potatoes and be sure to stir them while cooking.
	Wash and dry the potatoes before frying them.	Wash the potatoes and remove all the starch that has deposited on the potatoes.
Fresh potatoes, cut in sticks, are not crunchy.	The crunchiness of the fried potatoes depends on the quantity of water contained in the potatoes and from the quantity of oil.	Make sure to dry the water from the external parts of the potatoes before you add the oil.
		Cut the potatoes in smaller sticks for more crunchiness.
		Add a little more oil.
