Use the 80 to 200°C thermostatic control to match the heat to the food rather than cooking everything at the same setting. Spread chips, chicken or vegetables evenly so hot air can move around the food. Avoid overfilling the basket if crispness is the priority. Use the LED light display to confirm when the appliance is in use. Keep the appliance clean after cooking so it remains simple and reliable for regular meals.
