Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Solution |
| The air fryer will not turn on. | Make sure the air fryer is plugged in. |
| Push the baskets securely into the air fryer. | |
| Foods are not completely cooked. | Place smaller batches of ingredients into the basket. If the basket is overstuffed, then in- gredients will be undercooked. |
| Increase cooking temperature or time. | |
| Foods are cooked unevenly. | Ingredients that are stacked on top of each other or close to each other need to be shak- en during cooking.
The non-stick plate should be placed in the basket. |
| Foods are not crispy after air frying. | Spraying or brushing a small amount of oil on foods can increase crispiness (see Cooking Guide, page 14). |
| Temperature won’t go high- er than 200˚C. | The max temperature is 200˚C for STEAK only. Please refer to Preset Default Settings (Page 9) |
| White smoke is coming out of the air fryer. | The air fryer may produce some white smoke when you use it for the first time. This is nor- mal. |
| Make sure the basket and the non-stick plate is cleaned properly and not greasy. | |
| Frying greasy foods will cause oil leaks into the basket. This oil will produce white smoke. This is normal and should not affect cooking. | |
| Dark smoke is coming out of the air fryer. | Immediately unplug your air fryer. Food is burning. Wait for smoke to clear before pulling the basket out. |
| How do I pause or stop the cooking? | Remove the basket from the unit to pause the cooking and place it back to resume. Press and hold POWER for 2 seconds to turn off the air fryer. |
|
Is the basket safe to put on my countertop? |
Use caution when handling, and place on heat-safe surfaces only. |

It will hold 3 baked potatoes. As far as the strip steaks, it depends on the size
It has a preheat setting. No designated warm setting.
Had it since October. Dont feel like cleaning everytime I use. so I almost always use foil and even parchment paper
The size of the basket is 9.6”*9.6”*4.78”, it fits for 9inch pizza or 2 small chickens. Besides, this air fryer’s spacious 6.8-quart square baskets can fit a whole 5-pound chicken.
There is no reheat button on mine. Not sure why you would need one. Makes no difference. When reheating, just watch closely and add a few minutes at a time.
YouTube has excellent videos for homemade pizza in the air fryer.
probably available on Amazon’s product description…sometimes you need to scroll down to see it.
Yes. It has a dehydrate button. I dehydrate fruits all the time. It works great.
The outside window on the front is plastic but never heats up. The inside horizontal window is glass and cleans up easily.
Check your manual for instructions/contact Dreo Support or whatever model you have
It is 46 1/2 inches long from machine to end of electric plug.
The exterior doesn’t get hot. It can be touched while cooking.
