How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Do not lift a hot basket by a loose handle; support the bottom to avoid spills and burns.

Steps to secure the handle:

  • 1. Cool and remove basket: Allow the basket to cool completely, then remove it from the air fryer.
  • 2. Tighten screws: Locate the handle mounting screws on the inside or underside of the basket. Tighten them with the appropriate screwdriver.
  • 3. Inspect for cracks: Check the plastic handle and metal brackets for cracks or deformation. If cracked, replace the basket and handle assembly.
  • 4. Avoid overloading: Follow the user manual's capacity guidelines to prevent future stress on the handle.
