Frequently Asked Questions - CAF72DI Cookology

How do I preheat the Cookology CAF72DI air fryer?

It is not necessary to preheat this air fryer. Simply select your program, set the time and temperature, and press Power. The appliance will heat up quickly during cooking.

Can I use metal utensils in the frying drawer?

No, avoid using metal utensils as they may scratch the non-stick coating. Use silicone, wood, or plastic utensils instead.

Why is white smoke coming out of my air fryer?

White smoke is usually caused by grease residue from previous use or cooking very fatty foods. Ensure the drawer and rack are clean before use, and if cooking fatty foods, reduce the amount or add a little water to the drawer.

How do I clean the air fryer?

Unplug and let it cool completely. Wash the frying drawer and rack in warm soapy water. Wipe the main unit with a damp cloth. Never immerse the appliance in water. Dry all parts thoroughly before reassembling.

Can I cook frozen food directly without thawing?

Yes, many frozen foods like French fries, chicken nuggets, and fish fingers can be cooked directly. For meat, always defrost first to ensure even cooking and safety.

What is the maximum fill line?

Do not fill the frying drawer beyond the 'MAX' marking indicated inside. Overfilling can cause uneven cooking and may prevent the drawer from closing properly.

Why is my food not crispy?

For crispiness, lightly brush food with oil before cooking. Also, shaking the drawer halfway through cooking helps. If using fresh ingredients, you may need more oil or a longer cooking time.

The air fryer stops working during cooking. What should I do?

The appliance has an auto shut-off if the drawer is opened or if no movement is detected for 10 minutes. Close the drawer securely and press Power to resume. If the issue persists, check the power connection.

What is the dehydrator function for?

The dehydrator function uses low temperature (40-80°C) for 2-9 hours to dry fruits, vegetables, or herbs. Slice ingredients uniformly for even drying.

How do I adjust temperature and time manually?

Select a preset program using the Menu button, then press the Temperature/Time button. Use +/- to adjust temperature, press again to adjust time, then press Power to start.
