AEG air fryer non-stick coating is peeling or flaking from the basket or drawer.

Safety first: Do not continue cooking with heavily flaking non-stick surfaces, as particles can contaminate food.

Steps to address:

• Stop using metal tools: Switch to silicone or wooden utensils to prevent further damage.
• Gentle cleaning: Clean with soft sponges and non-abrasive cleaners only.
• Replace basket/drawer: Order an OEM AEG basket and drawer assembly with intact non-stick coating.
• Prevent recurrence: Avoid running the air fryer empty at maximum temperature for extended periods, which can stress the coating.
