Air fryer emits a strong plastic or chemical smell even after several uses.

Safety first: Operate the unit in a well‑ventilated area during burn‑in.

• Step 1 – Initial cleaning: Wash the basket and drawer with warm soapy water and dry thoroughly.
• Step 2 – Burn‑in cycle: Run the air fryer empty at 200°C (392°F) for 15–20 minutes, then allow to cool. Repeat 2–3 times if necessary.
• Step 3 – Inspect interior: Ensure all labels, plastic films, and packaging materials have been removed from inside the cooking chamber.
• Step 4 – If smell persists: If the strong chemical smell continues after multiple burn‑in cycles, discontinue use and contact the retailer or manufacturer, as internal plastics or coatings may be defective.
