Fryer basket My fryer basket came apart, I have tried to put it back together, but the basket doesn't drop down flat into the fryer. How does it go back together?

1. Unplug the air fryer: Before starting any disassembly, ensure the air fryer is unplugged from the power source to prevent electrical accidents.
2. Remove the basket and pan: Take out the cooking basket and pan from the air fryer and set them aside.
3. Locate screws or clips: Examine the exterior of the air fryer for any visible screws or clips that hold the casing together. These are typically located on the underside or at the back of the unit.
4. Remove screws or clips: Using the appropriate tools (such as a screwdriver or pry tool), carefully remove the screws or unclip the casing to access the internal components.
5. Separate the casing: Gently pry apart the casing of the air fryer, being mindful not to force it and to avoid damaging any internal components.
6. Disassemble internal components: Once the casing is removed, you may have access to the internal components of the air fryer, such as the heating element, fan, and control panel. Take note of the arrangement of parts and any connections.
7. Proceed with caution: Handle internal components carefully and avoid causing damage or disconnecting any wires or cables unnecessarily.
8. Reassemble: After completing the necessary maintenance or repairs, carefully reassemble the air fryer in the reverse order, ensuring all parts are properly aligned and securely fastened.
9. Test the air fryer: Before using the air fryer again, plug it into a power source and test that it functions correctly.

If you're unsure about disassembling your Tefal Easy Fry EY1018 air fryer, it's advisable to consult the user manual or seek assistance from a qualified technician or customer support representative.

How to Use Your Fryer:

• Remove all packaging materials, sticker, and labels.
• Clean the basket and pan with hot water, soap and a non-abrasive sponge. These parts are dishwasher safe.
• Wipe the inside and outside of the appliance with a clean cloth.
• Place the air fryer on a flat and even surface.
• Put the basket in the pan.
• Plug unit in to an approved wall socket.
• Place the ingredients in the basket and then put the basket and pan back into the appliance. The fryer LED will light up.
• Set your cooking time and temperature by either choosing one of the 8 presets or manually set it with the "+" or "-" buttons. See "Cooking Guide" to determine the right time and temperature.
• Once you have set your cooking time and temperature, press the "Start" Button.
• The heating icon and fan icon will be blinking and this means that the fryer is starting and is circulating the hot air in the fryer. NOTE: During hot air frying, you will notice that the heating up icon will blink and stays from time to time. When the heating icon is on, it means that the temperature inside the fryer has reached the set temperature. When the heating icon is blinking, it means that the temperature inside the fryer dropped and is below the set temperature and is currently heating up to the reach the set temperature.
• Some ingredients may need to be shaken halfway through the cooking cycle (see "Cooking Guide"), To do this, pull the pan out of the air fryer by the handle, the air fryer will automatically shut down. Then shake the contents in the basket, then slide the pan back into the air fryer and it will resume the cooking cycle. CAUTION: Do not press the button on the handle during shaking; this will detach the basket from the pan.
• When the cooking time has been reacher, the air blower will stop in 20 seconds.
• Pull the pan out of the fryer and place it on a pot holder. The cooking pan is VERY HOT do not put on surface that can burn. NOTE: Oil from the ingredients will gather in the bottom of the pan, so be careful when pulling the pan out of the fryer.
• To remove the ingredients, press the button on the handle of the pan to detach the basket. DO NOT TURN THE PAN OVER. PLACE ON A POT HOLDER.
• Upon placing the cooking basket back into the air fryer, the air fryer will automatically go to the previous cooking cycle and will repeat the previous cooking cycle, press the cancel button to stop and reset the air fryer if desired.

Yes you need to make sure the springs didnt fly off when you opened the panel, otherwise look for the mounting post that the spring should hook into

If you had the fryer covered when you were using it, condensation may have formed and droplets of water hitting the oil would cause spattering. Does your fryer recommend using the cover when in use?

Hi there:- You mean the products you put into the deep fryer stick to the basket or sunk down to the bottom and stick to the bottom basket. It can be a number of reasons but the most important is the temperature of the oil, it should be 350 degree F or more to do the frying , any temperature below that will be call boiling not frying. Secondly the batter mix ( you should try out and make your own batter mix ) Hope this can help.

It is NOT hot enough when you FIRST drop them in, it should be hot enough so that they Float, immediately they are dropped in.

Hi, this one is a bit tricky: you have to drop the basket first, hold on to one end of the fish without burning your fingers, and give the batter a minute - the whole piece will start to float when the batter starts to cook. You need to flip it over with tongs to cook it completely.
