Top Reasons Why You Need Your Air Fryer Manual
Even experienced air fryer cooks rely on the user guide for specific information. Here are the most common reasons people search for their manuals online:
- Decoding Error Messages: Every brand uses different codes (e.g., E1, E3, C3). The manual is the only way to know exactly what your machine is trying to tell you.
- Accessing Safety Information: It provides crucial details on minimum fill lines, appropriate clearance, and the safe use of accessories.
- Correct Assembly: If you have a multi-function air fryer (like the Instant Pot Duo Crisp or Ninja Foodi), the manual is necessary to ensure you are using the correct lid or accessory for the cooking function you’ve selected.
- Finding Specific Cook Presets: It often lists internal temperature guides and specific preset times for foods like chicken wings, fries, and frozen items.
- Proper Cleaning and Maintenance: Manuals detail exactly which parts are dishwasher safe and how to safely clean the heating element to extend the life of your appliance.
Quick Tips for Troubleshooting Common Air Fryer Issues
While you wait for your manual to download, try these common fixes:
- Air Fryer Won’t Turn On? Check that the basket is fully and securely seated. Most models have a safety switch that prevents operation unless the basket is perfectly locked in place.
- Smoke in the Air Fryer? This is usually caused by excessive fat or residue from the last use. Add a splash of water to the drawer beneath the basket to catch drippings and reduce smoke, and thoroughly clean the unit.

I have an Acekool Airfryer OVen, which I believe has been renamed the WowChef. I got it with a dirty or soiled oven glass and can not figure out how to get into the glass which is two piece. It is soiled inside. Where can I get instructions on disassembly of the oven door to get to the inside of this glass. I should have returned this in October but I was so empressed and used the thing constantly. Please help. I can not see how to solve this and emails to Amazon are just returned with suggestion I contact customer sevice on line. I don’t believe this will help. Can I exchange this oven at this late date?

I am thanking you for the time and effort you put in to gather these air fryer manuals and post them. It must have been time consuming. I sincerely hope those who have searched, and can’t find their AF manuals, and landed on your blog are appreciative. I am.
