How long should I preheat the air fryer before cooking?

Why is my food not cooking properly in the air fryer?

Make sure the basket is fully inserted during cooking, as it must be properly closed before operating. For consistent browning, arrange ingredients in an even layer on the bottom of the basket with no overlapping, and shake loose ingredients for even crispiness. Cook time and temperature can also be adjusted at any time during cooking using the TIME or TEMP arrows. (Page 13)

Can I use an extension cord with the Ninja AF101 Air Fryer?

No, you should not use an extension cord with this appliance. A short power-supply cord is used to reduce the risk of children grabbing the cord or becoming entangled, and to reduce the risk of people tripping over a longer cord. (Page 3)
