AFD-80 SPLIT/AFD-60 AIRFRYER

For those using a Wilfa Air Fryer who want to know more about features, preheating, cleaning and troubleshooting.

Why does only the ON/OFF button light up when I insert the pan?

If only the ON/OFF button lights up, it usually means the air fryer is not detecting the pan correctly.

When the pan or basket is not properly mounted, the air fryer cannot activate the programs.

Check the following

  1. Remove the pan.

  2. Check that it is properly mounted.

  3. Clean the edges where the pan connects to the unit.

  4. Check that there are no food residue or dirt preventing proper contact.

  5. Reinsert the pan and check if the programs appear.

If the problem persists after cleaning and proper mounting, the pan or basket may need to be replaced. Contact your retailer for further assistance.

How do the top and bottom heating elements work?

The AFD-80SPLIT has both upper and lower heating elements for more even cooking.When both top and bottom heat are used, the food is heated from two directions, which can provide more even results and shorter cooking time.

Symbol meanings

  • Symbol is lit: top and bottom heat is activated.

Can I change the top and bottom heat after the program has started?

You can change the top and bottom heat setting even after cooking has started.

How to change the setting during cooking

  1. Press pause.

  2. Press the symbol for top/bottom heat.

  3. Select your desired setting:

    1. Symbol lit = top and bottom heat.

    2. Symbol off = top heat only.

  4. Start the program again.

This allows you to easily adjust the cooking without having to restart the program.


What is the advantage of dual heating elements?

Dual heating elements mean that the air fryer has both an upper and a lower heating element.

Advantages of dual heating elements:

  • More even cooking

  • Better color and surface on food

  • Shorter cooking time for some recipes

  • Less need to turn the food


Can I cook two different dishes at the same time in the AFD-80SPLIT?

The AFD-80SPLIT has a capacity of 8 liters and comes with a divider that makes it possible to divide the basket into two sections.

  • Chicken in one section

  • Vegetables or fries in the other section

The divider simply slides down into the grooves in the pan.


Do I need to preheat the air fryer?

The air fryer has a preheat function that can be used before cooking. During certain programs, preheating is performed before the food is added. When preheating is complete, the message "ADD" is displayed on the screen.
