Frequently Asked Questions - AirCook Q65 XL Pro TESLA

How do I preheat the TESLA AirCook Q65 XL Pro?

Press the PREHEAT button (6), set temperature and duration using button (2), then press On/Off/Stop (7) to start. After preheating, the appliance switches off automatically.

Can I use oil in the AirCook Q65 XL Pro?

Yes, but only a small amount (e.g., 1 tablespoon) for crispiness. Do not fill the container with oil; the appliance uses hot air circulation and requires little to no oil. Adding too much oil can be dangerous.

What is the SprayBoost function and how do I use it?

SprayBoost is a water spray system that keeps food juicy and crispy. You can use it automatically (fill the water tank, it sprays three times during cooking except for Fries, Dessert, and Mushrooms programs) or manually by pressing button (3). The appliance will beep if water runs out.

Why does my air fryer produce white smoke?

White smoke is normal during first use (manufacturing residues) or when cooking fatty foods (oil drips into the outer container and burns). Ensure the basket and container are clean. If smoke persists, reduce oil or food fat content.

How do I clean the TESLA AirCook Q65 XL Pro?

Unplug and let it cool completely. Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth. Removable parts (basket, container, rack) can be washed in the dishwasher, but hand washing with warm soapy water and a soft sponge is recommended to protect the non-stick coating. Do not use abrasive materials.

What should I do if the food is not cooked evenly?

Ingredients stacked or close together may need to be shaken or turned halfway through cooking. The appliance will alert you (except in Dessert program). Remove the basket, shake or turn food with tongs, then reinsert to resume heating.

Can I cook frozen French fries in this air fryer?

Yes, follow the preset Fries program (200°C, 20 min). For raw potato fries, soak in water for 15 minutes, dry, and toss with a little oil before cooking. Adjust time as needed.

What does the 'Shake food' alert mean and what should I do?

The appliance pauses and beeps about halfway through cooking to remind you to shake or turn the food for even results. Remove the basket, shake gently, then reinsert. The appliance resumes automatically. This alert is active for all programs except Dessert.

Is the TESLA AirCook Q65 XL Pro safe to leave unattended?

No, the manual states not to leave the appliance unattended. It has safety features like automatic shut-off (after 2 minutes of inactivity) and overheating protection, but you should always monitor cooking.

Where can I find replacement parts or accessories?

Original TESLA accessories and consumables are available at the official store: eshop.tesla-electronics.eu. For warranty repairs, contact the dealer where you purchased the product.

- Do not turn the basket upside down, as excess oil that has accumulated at the bottom of the basket will flow onto the food.

SWITCHING OFF THE APPLIANCE

Press the button (3) to switch off the appliance. Unplug the appliance when not in use.

COOKING TIPS

• Preheating (PREHEAT) the fryer appliance before adding food will generally ensure the best cooking results.
• Shake or turn the food to ensure even browning. Shaking usually requires smaller foods that are stacked, such as chips or nuggets.
• A few minutes before the end of the cooking time, check whether the food is sufficiently cooked and if necessary, cook it longer.
• Make sure the meat has reached a safe cooking temperature.
• An air fryer works much like a toaster oven; follow the preparation instructions on the package or in the oven recipe.
• Smaller pieces of food usually require slightly less cooking time than larger pieces.
• When cooking multiple batches in a row, preheat only the first batch.
• fresh potato fries in water for 15 minutes to remove starch before frying. Then pat the fries dry and mix with 1 tablespoon of oil to make them crispier.
  • To get a crispier surface, we recommend spraying/mixing the food with classic table oil.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

NEVER immerse the cord, plug or appliance in water or any other liquid.

• Clean the appliance after each use.
  • Before cleaning, unplug the appliance and let it cool down completely.
• We recommend cleaning the appliance immediately after it cools down, before food residues dry out.
• Wipe the base of the appliance and the exterior with a damp cloth.
• Removable parts that are intended for contact with food can be washed in a dishwasher, but we still recommend hand washing for longer protection (durability) of the non-stick surface.
• To maintain the non-stick layer as long as possible, do not use sharp or metal objects, abrasive cleaning materials or rough sponges and wire brushes.
• Wash these parts under warm running water with the addition of neutral kitchen detergent and a soft sponge. Then rinse them with clean water, dry them properly and put them back in their place.
• If residue sticks to the bottom of the removable basket, fill it with hot soapy water and let it soak in, then wash it with a soft sponge.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Problem	Solution
The appliance does not work.	Check that the device is really connected to the mains.
	Insert the outer container completely into the appliance.
The food is not fully cooked.	Place smaller portions of food in the removable basket.If the basket is too full, the food may be undercooked.
	Increase the temperature or cooking time.
The food is not evenly cooked.	Ingredients that are stacked on top of each other or close to each other need to be shaken or turned during cooking.
The food is not crispy after frying.	Spraying food with a small amount of oil can increase crispness.
The fries were not cooked well.	Add a small amount of oil, approx. 15 ml. When making raw potato chips, soak uncooked chips in water for 15 minutes to remove starch before frying. Dry them before adding a small amount of oil.
	Cut uncooked French fries into 0.5 cm x 7 cm strips.
White smoke comes out of the appliance.	The appliance may produce white smoke when used for the first time. It's alright.
	Make sure the baskets and the inside of the appliance are properly cleaned and free of grease.
	Cooking fatty foods will cause oil to leak into the outer container.This oil will produce white smoke and the container may be hotter than usual. This is normal and should not affect cooking.
