Possible cause
The frying basket (1 1)
is overfilled or not in-
serted correctly.
The food is very fatty.
The frying basket (1 1)
still contains oil/fat
residue from a previ-
ous cooking process.
The chips have not
been sufficiently
soaked.
The variety of potato is
unsuitable.
The potatoes are too
moist.
Troubleshooting
Fill the frying basket (1 1) only up
to the MAX marking (8).
During preparation, fat from
these extremely fatty foods drips
into the frying basket (1 1). The fat
causes a higher temperature in
the frying basket (1 1) – this does
not impair the appliance or the
cooking result.
Fat residue is burning in the fry-
ing basket (1 1). Clean the frying
basket (1 1) after every use.
Place the chips in cold water for
around 30 minutes to remove the
starch. Dry the chips using kitch-
en paper before adding to the
basket.
Choose a different variety of po-
tato.
The crispiness is dependent on
the water and starch content of
the variety of potato used and
the quantity of oil.
Dry the potatoes carefully and
cover them with about 1/2 ta-
blespoon of oil.
Cut the potatoes into smaller
pieces.
