Air fryer basket is difficult to insert or remove; it sticks in the rails.

Safety first: Allow the unit to cool before attempting to force the basket in or out.

Steps to correct sticking basket:

• 1. Clean rails: Remove the basket and drawer. Clean the side rails and mating surfaces with warm soapy water and a non-abrasive sponge. Remove any baked-on grease or food.
• 2. Inspect for warping: Place the basket and drawer on a flat surface to check for warping. If they rock or do not sit flat, they may need replacement.
• 3. Check cabinet rails: Look inside the air fryer at the metal or plastic rails. If bent inward, gently bend them back to parallel using padded pliers.
• 4. Examine latch: Inspect the basket handle and latch mechanism for cracks or deformation. Replace the basket and drawer assembly if damaged.
