Frequently Asked Questions - FlexiFry AFP5100BL SUNBEAM

How do I preheat the Sunbeam FlexiFry Air Fryer Oven?

Select a manual mode (Air Fry, Bake, or Dehydrate) or a preset, set the desired temperature and time, then press Start/Stop. The oven will preheat and beep once ready.

Can I use aluminum foil or baking paper in the air fryer oven?

Yes, you can line the Air Fry Racks with baking paper to prevent sticking, especially for high-sugar foods. Avoid covering the entire rack to ensure proper air circulation.

How do I clean the Air Fry Racks?

The Air Fry Racks are dishwasher safe. For hand washing, use warm soapy water and a non-abrasive sponge. Allow them to dry completely before reuse.

Why is my food undercooked or overcooked?

Adjust the temperature or cooking time. The oven heats faster than a conventional oven, so start with shorter times. Also check rack positioning; use the top slot for crispier results.

How do I remove the door for cleaning?

Open the door and push the tabs at the inner bottom of the door to release it. To reattach, align the bottom of the door at an angle and push until it locks.

What is the maximum capacity for chicken wings?

The cooking chart recommends up to 1 kg of chicken wings. Use two Air Fry Racks and swap positions halfway through for even cooking.

Can I dehydrate fruits and vegetables?

Yes, select the Dehydrate mode. Set temperature between 50°C and 80°C and time up to 12 hours. Use the Air Fry Racks for proper airflow.

Why is there water dripping from the door during cooking?

This is normal. Moisture released from food condenses on the door. Wipe it with a soft cloth. It does not affect cooking performance.

The touch panel is not responding. What should I do?

Ensure the panel is clean and dry. Use dry hands to operate. If still unresponsive, unplug the unit for 60 seconds and plug it back in. If problem persists, contact Sunbeam support.

What is the warranty on this product?

Sunbeam offers a 12-month replacement or repair warranty from the date of purchase. It covers defects in materials or workmanship. You must keep your original proof of purchase.
