Frequently Asked Questions - Charlotte DPM

Do I need to add oil to the air fryer?

No, the air fryer uses hot air circulation. For crispier results, you can brush a small amount of oil on the ingredients, but do not pour oil into the pot.

How do I clean the air fryer after use?

Unplug and let it cool for 30 minutes. Wash the basket and pot with warm water, mild detergent, and a non-abrasive sponge. Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth. Do not immerse the appliance in water.

Why is white smoke coming out of the air fryer?

White smoke can occur when cooking high-fat ingredients or if grease residues remain from previous use. Clean the pot thoroughly after each use to prevent this.

Can I cook frozen food directly in the air fryer?

Yes, you can cook frozen foods like chips, chicken blocks, and fish. Adjust cooking time and temperature according to the settings table in the manual.

How do I shake ingredients during cooking?

Pull out the pot by the handle, shake gently, then slide back in. Do not press the basket release button while shaking. This helps food cook evenly.

What does the 'Food Indicator' mean?

The food indicator shows preset programs (e.g., fish, chips). Press the 'Function Selector' button to choose a program, but the indicator is only a guide; you can manually adjust temperature and time.

Why is my food not cooked properly?

Possible causes: too much food in the basket, low temperature, or short cooking time. Reduce the quantity, increase temperature, or extend time. Refer to the cooking table.

Is the air fryer safe for children to use?

Children aged 8 and above can use it under supervision. Children 3-8 years may only turn it on/off under adult supervision. Keep away from children due to hot surfaces.

What should I do if the air fryer stops working?

Check if the plug is properly inserted, the appliance is switched on, and the time/temperature are set. If it still doesn't work, contact an authorized service center.

Can I use metal utensils in the basket?
