FAQs

Q: what to do if the appliance is not heating?

A: It may be due to the safety cut-off being activated, and the indicator light will not turn on. Press the reset button located at the back of the appliance.

Q: What to do if the food does not cook properly and remains soft?

A: If the food is not cooked properly, then it may be due to the set cooking time or temperature, overloading the fry basket, or the food being too watery. If this happens, increase the cooking time or temperature and avoid frying big pieces.

Q: Do the metal handles get hot? 

A: When cooking, the side handles and top handles do not get hot. The sides stay relatively cool as well. You just need to open the lid carefully since there is a lot of condensation on the bottom that could drip down and burn you.

Q: Can the filtration system handle saturated fats (solid at room temperature) such as clarified butter, lard, beef tallow, or coconut oil?

A: No, it cannot handle the saturated fats.
