Troubleshooting
This chapter summarizes the most common problems you could encounter with
the appliance. If you are unable to solve the problem with the information below,
visit www.philips.com/support for a list of frequently asked questions or contact
the Consumer Care Centre in your country.
Problem Possible cause Solution
The outside of the
appliance gets hot during
use.
The appliance does not
switch on.
I see some peeling o
spots inside my Air
Cooker and on some
accessories.
I hear some strange noise
coming from the inside of
the appliance.
The heat inside the cooking
chamber radiates to the outside
walls.
The appliance is not plugged in.
Several appliances are
connected to one outlet.
Some small spots can appear
in the cooking chamber or on
accessories due to incidental
touching or scratching of the
coating (e.g., during cleaning
with harsh cleaning tools
and/or while inserting the
accessories into the cooking
chamber.
The appliance is equipped
with a fan, which is needed to
transport the heat to the food,
and also a water pump, which
is needed for the steaming
function of the appliance.
This is normal. All handles and knobs
that you need to touch during use
stay cool enough to touch.
The cooking chamber, the bottom
tray and the grid, the basket, the
cooking pots (for some models),
the second layer (for some models)
and the retractable handles always
become hot when the appliance is
in use to ensure the food is properly
cooked. These parts are always too
hot to touch.
If you leave the appliance switched
on for a longer time, some areas get
too hot to touch. These areas are
marked on the appliance with the
following icon:
As long as you are aware of the hot
areas and avoid touching them, the
appliance is completely safe to use.
Check if the plug is inserted in the
wall outlet properly.
The appliance has a high wattage.
Try a dierent outlet and check the
fuses.
You can prevent damage by putting
the tray/grid/basket or another
accessories combination into the
cooking chamber carefully trying
not to knock against its walls. If you
notice that small pieces of coating
has chipped o, please be informed
that this is not harmful as all
materials used are food-safe.
This noise is normal and intended.
If the noise gets louder or changes
clearly, please contact the Philips
support center for further advice.

temperature or humidity,
although otherwise
recommended. This might
impact the cooking result.
You used a "cooking method",
which was not appropriate for
the type of food you cooked,
e.g., air steam setting used for
leafy greens might lead to an
overcooked, soggy result. Use
the "steam" setting instead and
refer to the cooking chapters

Check out the recipe and change the
cooking parameters only on demand,
e.g., when you want your food to be
longer cooked than recommended;

Problem Possible cause Solution
The app shows that the
pairing process is not
successful.
I cannot use the app to
remotely control my Air
Cooker (e.g. sending a
recipe and start cooking
from the NutriU app).
There is water in the
cooking chamber after
cooking.
Another user has paired the Air
Cooker with a dierent smart
device and is currently cooking.
The Air Cooker is not connected
to your home WiFi and/or not
paired to your smart device.
You might not have checked the
"remote consent", to be found
in your NutriU personal prole.
The Air Cooker produces steam
during cooking. The steam
condenses on the food and on
the inside walls of the cooking
chamber. The condense water
remains in the cooking chamber
after cooking.
Wait until the other user has nished
the current cooking process. Then
pair your smart device with the Air
Cooker again.
First, check if your Air Cooker is
connected to a WiFi network. If you
completed the WiFi Setup through
the Philips NutriU app and connected
your appliance to a specic WiFi
network, you should see a steady
white WiFi symbol on the display of
the appliance.
Got to the personal prole tab in
the NutriU app and tap the "remote
consent" check box.
A certain amount of water remaining
in the cooking chamber after cooking
is normal. Just wipe it out with a wet,
non-abrasive cloth.
