Frequently Asked Questions about Air Fryers
- 1.Basic operational issues
Q1: Does the air fryer need preheating?
Suggest preheating (3-5 minutes), especially when freezing ingredients or pursuing a crispy texture. Some models have automatic preheating function, please refer to the manual for details.
Q2: Do I need to add oil when cooking?
It can be completely oil-free (such as French fries and chicken wings), but a small amount of oil spray (within 5ml) can make the food more golden and crispy.
Q3: Do ingredients need to be turned over?
Suggest flipping it halfway (especially for large ingredients) to ensure even heating.
- 2.Usage skills related questions
Q4: Why is the food not crispy enough when fried?
Possible reasons:
-Excessive moisture on the surface of food (dry before cooking);
-Insufficient temperature (increase by 10-20 ° C or extend by 3-5 minutes);
-The stacking of ingredients is too dense (layered and flat).
Q5: How to avoid food burning?
Solution:
-Reduce the temperature by 5-10 ° C or shorten the time;
-Wrap the easily burnt parts with tin foil (such as chicken wing tips);
-Select models with "anti burn" function.
Q6: Can baking paper/tin foil be placed?
Sure, but it requires:
-Fixed edge (avoid being blown by hot air);
-Leave a gap (to ensure hot air circulation).

Q7: How to clean the frying basket and tray?
Steps:
- After cooling, soak in warm water and neutral detergent;
- Wipe with a soft cloth or sponge (steel wire balls are prohibited);
- Stubborn oil stains can be wiped with baking soda and left to settle before washing.
Q8: Can the exterior of the device be rinsed with water?
Prohibited! Wipe with a damp cloth to prevent water from entering the power interface.

Q9: Is it normal to smoke during operation?
A small amount of smoke may be the first use of a new machine or the dripping of grease (normal); If thick smoke persists:
-Immediately cut off power;
-Check for food residue or excessive oil.
Q10: Does the air fryer suddenly stop working?
Troubleshooting steps:
- Is there overheating protection? Shut down and cool down for 30 minutes, then try again;
- Check if the power supply is loose;
- Confirm that the maximum capacity has not been exceeded (blocking the air inlet)
Frequently Asked Questions about Sandwich Machines
- 1.Basic operational issues
Q1: Does the sandwich machine need preheating?
need! Preheating for 2-3 minutes can evenly heat the baking tray, avoiding food sticking and making the finished product more crispy.
Q2: Can we put frozen ingredients? (such as frozen bread, meat patties)
Sure, but it is recommended to thaw first, otherwise it may cause internal damage. If used directly, extend the heating time appropriately.
Q3: Can the baking tray be disassembled and cleaned?
Check the model:
-Detachable version: directly washed with water (but needs to be air dried before reinstallation);
-Non removable: Wipe with a damp cloth to avoid water damage to the circuit.
- 2.Usage skills related questions
Q4: Why aren't sandwiches crispy enough?
Possible reasons:
-The bread is too thick or the filling has too much moisture (such as tomatoes, cucumbers);
-Insufficient heating time (usually 3-5 minutes);
-Not preheated or the baking tray temperature is insufficient.
Q5: How to prevent food spillage?
Re-solvent:
-Don't fill the filling too much (especially cheese);
-Gently press the lid to avoid excessive force causing side leakage.
Can I make waffles/egg waffles?
sure! But the corresponding baking tray needs to be replaced (some models require separate purchase).
- 3.Cleaning and maintenance related issues
Q7: What should I do if the baking tray is sticky?
Cleaning method:
After the machine cools down, wipe it with a soft cloth dipped in neutral detergent;
- Stubborn residues can be treated with baking soda paste or specialized cleaning agents;
- Do not scratch with steel wire balls or hard objects to avoid damaging the coating.
Q8: How to clean the dirty exterior of the machine?
Do not wash with water! Wipe with a damp cloth to prevent water from entering the power interface.
- 4.Safety and fault related issues
Q9: Is it normal for the sandwich machine to smoke during operation?
Possible reasons for a small amount of smoke:
-First use of the new machine (residual protective coating);
-Food oil dripping (normal phenomenon);
-The filling overflowed and burned.
Continuous thick smoke requires power-off inspection!
Q10: Has the machine suddenly stopped heating up?
Troubleshooting steps:
- Check if the power supply is securely plugged in;
- Confirm if there is overheating protection (try again after cooling);
- Check if the indicator light is functioning properly (possibly due to a blown fuse).

-Anti sticking technique: Brush thin oil or spray oil after preheating (especially for making waffles);
-Extend lifespan: Clean after cooling to avoid sudden cooling and heating;
-Creative eating methods: pressed banana toast, cheese cornbread, dumpling crust pizza, etc.
