Uneven cooking means you need to shake or flip the food during the cycle.
- Use the Shake Reminder: For functions like French Fries, Frozen Foods, Seafood, and Veggies, the Shake Reminder is auto-enabled. When it beeps, pull the basket and shake.
- Manual Shake: For other functions, press the SHAKE button to add a reminder. For foods like steak, flip them halfway.
- Don't Overfill: Place smaller batches. Overstuffed baskets block air flow.
- Preheat: Always preheat (3-4 minutes) unless the unit is already hot. This ensures even cooking from the start.
IF THAT DIDN'T WORK: Increase cooking temperature or time. Ensure food items aren't stacked directly on top of each other; they need space for air circulation.
HEADS UP: Never use the air fryer without the basket in place. Never place oversized foods or metal utensils inside.
