• Smaller ingredients usually require a slightly shorter preparation time than larger ingredients.

• A larger amount of ingredients only requires a slightly longer preparation time; a smaller amount of ingredients only requires a slightly shorter preparation time.

• Shaking smaller ingredients halfway through the preparation time can help prevent unevenly fried ingredients.

• Add some oil to fresh potatoes for a crispy result. Fry your ingredients in the air fryer within a few minutes after you added the oil.

• Do not prepare extremely greasy ingredients such as sausages in the air fryer.

• Snacks that can be prepared in an oven can also be prepared in the air fryer.

• The optimal amount for preparing crispy fries is 500 grams.

• Use pre-made dough to prepare filled snacks quickly and easily. Pre-made dough also requires a shorter preparation time than homemade dough.

• Place a baking tin or oven dish in the air fryer basket if you want to bake a cake or quiche or if you want to fry fragile ingredients or filled ingredients.

• You can also use the air fryer to reheat ingredients. To reheat ingredients, set the temperature to 150C for up to 10 minutes.

Note: These settings are indications. As ingredients differ in origin, size, shape as well as brand, the best setting for your ingredients cannot be guaranteed.

If your HEALTHKICK K3431 air fryer does not work, check the following possible causes and solutions:

• POSSIBLE CAUSE: The appliance is not plugged in.

• SOLUTION: Plug power cord into wall socket.

• POSSIBLE CAUSE: You have not turned the Unit on, set the preparation time, or temperature.

• SOLUTION: Press the Power On Button. Select a Preset or select Time and Temperature. Press the Power Button again and cooking will begin.

• POSSIBLE CAUSE: You have probably turned off the Unit. If you pressed the Power Button while the Unit is cooking it will trigger the Auto Shut-Off mode.

• SOLUTION: Press the Power On Button. Select a Preset or select Time and Temperature. Press the Power Button again and cooking will begin.

If the food is not cooked, check these possible causes and solutions:

• POSSIBLE CAUSE: The Fry Basket is overloaded.

• SOLUTION: Use smaller batches for more even frying.

• POSSIBLE CAUSE: The temperature is set too low.

• SOLUTION: Use the Temperature Control Button to raise the temperature and continue cooking.

If the food is not fried evenly, the cause may be that some foods need to be “shaken” during the cooking process. The solution is to refer to the cooking guides in your manual for instructions on which foods require shaking.

If the outer basket won’t slide in properly, check the following possible causes and solutions:

• POSSIBLE CAUSE: Fry Basket is overloaded.

• SOLUTION: Do not fill the Fry Basket above the MAX level.

• POSSIBLE CAUSE: Fry Basket is not placed in Outer Basket correctly.

• SOLUTION: Gently push Fry Basket into Outer Basket until it “clicks.”

If white smoke is coming from the unit, check these possible causes and solutions:

• POSSIBLE CAUSE: Too much oil being used. Foods heavy with oil will cause dripping in the Outer Basket. Oil in the Outer Basket will smoke having no effect on the Unit or the food.

• POSSIBLE CAUSE: Outer Basket has grease residue from previous cooking.

• SOLUTION: Clean Outer Basket after each use.

If fresh fries are not fried evenly:

• POSSIBLE CAUSE: Wrong type of potato being used.

• SOLUTION: Use fresh, firm potatoes.

• POSSIBLE CAUSE: Potatoes not rinsed properly during preparation.

• SOLUTION: Use cut sticks and pat dry to remove excess starch.

If fries are not crispy:

• POSSIBLE CAUSE: Raw fries have too much water.

• SOLUTION: Dry potato sticks properly before adding oil. Cut sticks smaller. Add a bit more oil.

If you see an error code on the display:

• E1 – Broken circuit of the thermal sensor.

• E2 – Short circuit of the thermal sensor.

If either of these errors occurs, you should call Customer Service.
